It breaks my heart any time I hear about an animal cruelty case, and seeing pictures only intensifies that emotion.
Today, KRBC news uncovered an on-going investigation that several rescue groups and authorities are trying to track down who is responsible for the serious injuries.
In case you missed the story, a dog was found roaming near Interstate 20 and FM 60. But, it's what authorities found that was so shocking. A cable was lodged inside the puppy's neck, so much that the dogs skin had grown over it in some areas. The President of Rescue the Animals, Paul Washburn says that the growth shows that the cable had been embedded for some time, showing that the dog was likely left uncared for while it physically grew. The dog was also emaciated at the time. Washburn believes that the cable needed to be surgically removed from the dogs neck, but is said to be recovering well.
Rescue the Animals is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.

Do the same to the owner - what a shame humanes can do this to an animal.
ReplyDeleteIt astounds me the number of "people" in the world that do this to their animals. We rescued a dog we believed was dumped that had a collar so tight we could barely remove it. It would have gotten as bad as Tytus' in just a matter of time had we not intervened. What is wrong with people?! I hope they find the loser that did this.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with you. I don't know how someone could harm an animal or neglect them. This was the first time I have seen the injuries caused by a collar and it just broke my heart. Tytus is amazing, despite the neglect he is such a happy-go-lucky dog. I think he will make a great pet for someone. I am hoping someone will adopt him and provide a loving home! : ) As for the person responsible, I hope that someone comes forward with any kind of information that police can work with. It's not fair.
