A dog named Lucy suffers unimaginable cruelty, but this story is one of survival, not defeat! Lucy’s monster of an owner didn’t want to keep the dog after she got pregnant. She and her soon-to-be-born puppies were unwanted and rejected. Instead of surrendering Lucy to a shelter, she was placed inside her owner’s car, driven onto a deserted road, and dumped in the snow. Lucy chases after her owner’s car as it drives away. He couldn’t keep up and lay down in the snow, clinging to hope.
Her labor came quickly, and she gave birth to three beautiful puppies. The family huddled together to keep warm. Fortunately, a passer-by saw Lucy and her babies and called for help. Rescuers arrived and took them straight to the vet. Lucy and her pups are hypothermic. The staff did everything to keep them warm. While Lucy and two of her puppies recovered, one did not and passed peacefully in her sleep.
Lucy’s life is clearly difficult. She is covered in scars– a telling and heartbreaking reminder that she was never appreciated or loved. But that’s about to change! The staff at the animal clinic rallied and made a game plan. They contacted a local rescue and arranged for all three dogs to be taken in by a foster family. It won’t be long before Lucy and her two babies are in a safe and loving environment awaiting their forever homes.
