Lucy’s survival to this day is a wonder. Lucy, who was saved about three months prior, was discovered at a Bali construction site where other dogs were housed but went “missing.” Lucy was surprised when her rescuer saw her. The small puppy had been caught for the dog meat trade and was prepared to be sold and killed for food since a fishing wire was firmly wrapped around her nose. Lucy’s hero moved quickly to save her and took her to the veterinarian for emergency care.
When Lucy was discovered, a fishing line had been looped around her muzzle and had cut deep into it. The unfortunate puppy is thought to have been sent to horrible and inhumane meat farms.
After that, Lucy was brought to the vet, where the fishing line was cut, and she was at last made safe—though she was still in danger. She was given a 50/50 chance of life by the doctors due to her horrible parvovirus condition. We rescued and assisted in the healing of a poor dog that we found bound with a fishing line.
At last, Lucy was safe and well. She had not even left the woods yet, though. The veterinarians determined that she had the deadly parvovirus and offered her a 50/50 chance of survival. After two weeks, Lucy started to show indications of progress and was given the all-clear to move into foster care after a few days of being hit or miss. She started acting strangely after just one day, and her distemper test result was positive—as if she hadn’t had enough. Despite her strength, we didn’t think Lucy would survive. She was already skin and bones when we found her since the parvovirus had completely devastated her immune system.
After much effort and a variety of ailments, Lucy started to recover, but she had zero faith in others.
She retaliated, nevertheless. She had no appetite, so we gave her all the love and attention we could while syringe-feeding her bone broth every few hours. Lucy was now prepared to start her emotional healing journey after completing her full physical recovery. From the moment she was saved, she remained silent and avoided making eye contact with anyone. She would spend hours cowering in the corner of her kennel and hardly coming out to relieve herself. She had lost all faith in people, thus she must have experienced a great deal of trauma before we found her.
Lucy received support from foster parents, veterinarians, and numerous other people as she progressively recovered from her ordeal.
For the past few months, Lucy has been living with Prue, the person behind Mission Paws’ible, and she has shown remarkable progress. She is still cautious, but she is slowly turning back into a happy, energetic little dog. She loves to sunbathe and adores zoomies with her paw-friends. Lucy even snuggles up on the couch with her friends to sleep, something she never did when she first arrived.
