FRANKLIN, Texas (FOX 44) - The nonprofit organization Animal Wellness Action is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in a case of animal cruelty in Franklin.

The nonprofit says this case began in late July, when a local woman discovered a severely injured dog near Little Mississippi Cemetery Road. The dog was barely alive and suffering from injuries, including a shattered jaw and a hole in its chest.

The dog was believed to have been deliberately harmed using a firework or explosive device, according to veterinary professionals and investigators. The injuries were so severe that the only humane option was euthanasia.
