Los Angeles - A show puppy owned by celebrity style guru Martha Stewart was one of 17 dogs killed in a huge explosion at a boarding kennel in Pennsylvania, according to a posting Monday on Stewart's blog.

The blast occurred shortly after a tanker made a delivery of propane gas to the Pazzazz Pet Boarding Kennels in Pennsylvania. The puppy, named Genghis Khan was adopted by Stewart in December when he was seven weeks old.

The driver of the tanker was hospitalized with serious injuries after the incident, which killed 17 of the 30 dogs housed at the kennels. (dpa)
