Basset Rescue needs help for "Rex"
The dog was one of two hounds reportedly dumped near Acton in September. But no one could catch them. When a new family moved into the neighborhood, one of the children was able to leash Rex to a bush and contact rescuers.He was brought in on Thursday and has eaten several small meals but is very underweight and the prognosis is "touch and go." A veterinarian is working with Basset Rescue as they try to nurture him back to health.
You can read more about Rex at their website. There also is a place where people can contribute to his ongoing care.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
