         WHEREAS, People from across Texas were shocked and greatly

  Resort boarding facility in Georgetown on September 18, 2021,
  during which 75 dogs tragically lost their lives; and

  their best efforts, they were unable to locate any survivors; and
         WHEREAS, Anyone who has raised, cared for, and loved a pet can
  empathize with the heartbreak felt by the owners of the dogs who

  they are not alone in their grief and that their sense of loss is
  shared by their fellow Texans; and
         WHEREAS, The dogs who passed away belonged to 59 families,
  and during the months and years they spent together, they enriched

  Manzana, Ace Signorelli, Angus G., Artemis Anderson, Aurelius and

  affection, friendship, and trust with their owners that can never
  be replaced, and our hearts go out to all those who were impacted by
  this terrible tragedy; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
