Oldenburg is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northwest of Cincinnati, Ohio. Another dog survived the crash and was taken to see a vet.
Wheeles says the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board also are investigating the cause of the crash.
The names of the victims haven't been released. Officials say the dog that survived the crash was taken to a vet.
