A neighbor who smelled smoke called 911, but was worried the homeowners were there at the time.
"We didn't know if anyone was home because there were cars in the yard and we could hear a dog barking," a neighbor told Boston 25 News.
An animal control officer was called to the house to recover the remains of the dogs.
