The Tapleys were discovered by Aaron Vasquez and his son Emmanuel. David, a former Garland Police lieutenant, was cradling a Great Pyrenees who was badly hurt, but still alive.
The Great Pyrenees, along with seven other dogs believed to be owned by the Tapleys, was taken in by Nicholas Pet Haven. The dog was covered in bruises and appeared to be showing signs of shock.
