Follow Up To Jeff's Zuchini Dream

When the smoke detector went off, I ran downstairs and saw a fireball in the kitchen with black smoke rising to the ceiling. Jeff and Kacie were just standing there in some sort of a trance. I grabbed the pan and took it to the back porch. My question is, where was our dog Sam? Gus was in the upstairs bedroom under the bed but what happened to Sam? Sam is no longer with us, but to this day Gus runs whenever we grill or fry food.
