It's a very happy new year for Bela the dog and the many people who worried about the 9-year-old German shepherd's fate.

“It's wonderful to be able to welcome Bela here,” Best Friends CEO Gregory Castle said in a statement. “It speaks to our principle of valuing all animal life. In this case, there was potential for something terrible to happen, but we are set up to give him a great life and all indications are that he is a beautiful and wonderful dog.”

That great life might have ended much sooner.
