RACINE, Minn. -- It's a variation on "the dog ate my homework." In southern Minnesota, the dog started the fire.
Mower County authorities say a dog is being blamed for starting a fire at a home in Minnesota over the weekend.
Chad Thomason told authorities his dog apparently tried to get at pizza left on his stove Saturday afternoon and turned on a gas burner that set the pizza box on fire.
Thomason was able to extinguish the blaze before firefighters could get to his house.
The fire caused about $200 in damage.
