A 23-month-old boy has died after running back into a burning house to try and rescue his beloved pet puppy.
Lokey Sharp's parents' home went up in flames on Saturday afternoon local time after a suspected electrical fault, according to Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Parents Kurtis and Caitlin were at home when the house went up in flames, but lost track of Lokey while they were trying to put out the flames.
