Arkansas couple seeking justice after dog dies in possible arson

CAMDEN, Ark. – A couple in Camden, Arkansas, is saying their goodbyes after a fire took everything in their home including their loyal furry friend, Bella, who was killed in the fire.

According to the Camden Fire Department, the fire is still under investigation, but they say that arson could have been the igniter.

“We want justice,” Jonathan Cooper said.

Their house on Lubbock Street in Camden caught fire Wednesday night with Bella inside.

“We can’t get her back, but we got memories of her,” Cooper said.

The couple said everything inside of the house was lost.

“We lost everything. Clothes, shoes, TVs, I mean nothing is salvageable,” Duvall said.

Both Tori and Jonathan say they were at work when the fire started at around 9 p.m.

When they arrived at the scene, they said there was “so much smoke.”

Duvall said on the night of the fire, “it was really hard for us to realize that we don’t have anything,” as reality set in.

Soon after the fire, the couple said community members donated money and clothes, including the ones on their back.

“Camden has shown out,” Duvall said.

“There is more support that’s outweighing the sadness,” Cooper said.

Those in Camden who would like to help this couple can drop off donations at the Native Dog Brewing restaurant during business hours. They are open Wednesday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Jonathan and Tori have also set up a GoFundMe account .
