## Resource

In El Paso, Texas, a 15-year-old senior dog named Novak was found in horrific condition—matted fur blinding him, a rope around his neck, yet surprisingly not underweight. Animal Rescue League volunteers spent hours grooming him, calling his state the worst they’ve ever seen. A reward is now offered for info on his origin, as rescuers warn this isn’t an isolated case—two other abused dogs have been brought in recently. Loretta Hyde urges the public to speak up against animal cruelty, emphasizing that Texas law carries serious penalties. Novak and a fellow rescued pup are now recovering, with one already adopted—a sobering reminder that community vigilance can save lives.
