A six-month old puppy called Zeus caused more than $3,300 dollars in damage after setting off an explosion in a Goldthorpe house by chewing through an aerosol can of deodorant.
Kerry Leech, 20, and her partner Mathew Heckler, 22, went out on a Saturday night and left Zeus, and their two other dogs and three cats, home alone. Heckler had received a Lynx body spray gift box from Leech's parents and left it near the couple's fireplace. Zeus got into the package and gnawed on a can of the spray, punching holes into it.
Investigators believe that the broken canister released enough gas to cause a fire when the pilot lights in the back boiler located in the fire came on, setting an explosion off inside the home.
The Yorkshire couple's sofa went up in flames, the floorboards were blasted and the force of the explosion was so great that the double-glazed bay windows blew out.
Leech and Heckler received messages that their house had exploded and rushed home to find part of their street closed off and two fire trucks in front of their home. Miraculously, all of the animals escaped the explosion unharmed.
The patient couple said Zeus was not in trouble for all the damage he caused.
'He's just a pup and at the moment he'll chew anything,' Leech told the Doncaster Free Press.
