A dog waited for her owner for five months after their Kansas City house exploded, killing a man and critically injuring another in the process.

The dog, now named Asha, was left homeless and suffered injuries from the blaze . Her greatest pain was the loss of her owner Wiley Mitchell Jr. for whom she waited five months to return.

Investigators say that on June 4, persons inside a home on Tennessee Avenue were making illegal fireworks and that's what caused the lethal combustion.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that their preliminary investigation into Wednesday's home explosion on the city's southeast side leads them to believe that someone in the house was making homemade illegal fireworks.

"That would be equivalent to M-80s or cherry bombs," said John Ham, an ATF investigator.

Buried under piles of burnt wood, ATF investigators found evidence that led them to rule it a criminal case.

ATF has contacted the U.S. Attorney's Office who will determine what, if any, charges will be filed.
