The home's owner, Patrick Tsetsakis said he was grateful his dogs - Bear, Daisy and Amy - made it out safely, but fought back tears as he thought of his kids' mementoes that were in the burned home.
"Photos of when they were younger are in there, and that's all we've got, and both of them are disabled, so it would be nice to get them," Tsetsakis said.
Tsetsakis said the family was planning to sell the home and move to St. Augustine. He said they don't have insurance so they're trying to figure out what to do.
