INDIANAPOLIS -- Over a dozen animals were killed in a house fire in Indianapolis Wednesday morning.
The fire killed three dogs and 13 three week old puppies.
The parents and three children woke up to find smoke at knee-level throughout their house.
Firefighters say the smoke detectors saved the family's life.
Smoke inhalation is to blame for the death of the 16 dogs.
The dad of the puppies, a pit-bull named Romeo, managed to survive.
