An ownership claim has been made on the 27 puppies who survived a kerosene-soaked arson attempt on a pet store.

Donald Thompson, the estranged husband of Gloria Lee, who faces charges for trying to burn down her shop, has claimed the puppies, which include Yorkshire terriers, French bulldogs and pugs.

Thompson hopes to give the dogs to a local animal rescue group, A Home 4 Spot, according to a Clark County spokesman.

“At this time we are reviewing this proposal, specifically the ability of all involved to properly and legally take possession of the dogs,” spokesman Dan Kulin said.

It is unknown how long the review will take, Kulin said.

1. heh! they've had to keep Lee in solitary

due to the threats against her. Apparently the other prisoners don't take kindly to attempted burning of puppies.

3. Her store is close to my house

My husband and I went to her store about a week before the attempted arson. We saw this woman with clownish make-up being super-rude to her staff. My husband thought she was the owner. He was right.

Horrible person - inside and out.
