Dog turns on stove, sets kitchen on fire?

Skylar the goldendoodle couldn't wait to get her paws on the cold pizza perched atop her owner's stove. With her owner gone, the 3-year-old golden retriever/poodle mix from Naperville found a way up near the stove top on March 7, touching off a blaze that almost took her life.

Apparently, Skylar smelled the pizza and tried to get at it sometime after her master, Fred L. Chip Haines IV, left for work that morning. In doing so, the designer pooch probably turned on a burner with a paw.

The burner ignited the cardboard underneath the pizza, producing flames that spread quickly to a nearby, heavy-duty plastic cutting board, and then to the cabinets above the stove, Naperville fire officials said. Haines said the blaze was confined to the kitchen but still did an estimated $50,000 in damage.

50k in damage? I hope this owner loves their dog. Article here.
