The man who was there said he grabbed the other dog, Max, and ran off. Documents said Coles threatened the man and told him he had 15 minutes to leave before she was going to light the home on fire. Kaes arrived home that morning to total destruction.
“I was yelling trying to find Max where the dog is and that’s when they took her out of the bushes and took her out on a stretcher and she was covered in gas and paint and she had spray painted my car and my truck,” he said.
Kaes has since been reunited with Max. He credits the man for saving him.
“He saved Max’s life but he said he wasn’t able to get Ocean because she was in the middle of the house and she started throwing gas everywhere,” he said.
Kaes told us that it’s going to cost at least $25,000 just to clear the rubble and debris off his property. The home had been in Kaes’ family for more than 60 years.
“All of it’s a total loss, the roof is gone and I lost every single thing I’ve ever owned, everything I kept since I was a child,” he said.
Coles has been charged with arson and domestic violence.
“I really want justice for Ocean and it’s just so sickening to do that to a loveable, cuddly dog,” Kaes said.
