Lucy’s survival is nothing short of a miracle, a testament to the resilience and compassion that can triumph over the darkest corners of the world. Rescued just three months ago from a Bali building site notorious for the mysterious disappearance of many dogs, Lucy’s initial condition was heartbreaking. A fishing wire tightly bound around her snout revealed the grim fate she narrowly escaped—the brutal dog meat trade where she would have been sold and killed for consumption.
Swift action by her rescuer spared Lucy from this grim destiny, and the journey of healing, both physical and emotional, began. Rushed to the vet, Lucy underwent a critical procedure to remove the constricting fishing line. However, her challenges were far from over; diagnosed with parvovirus, she faced a precarious 50/50 chance of survival. Yet, Lucy defied the odds, displaying remarkable strength and moving into foster care.
But the hurdles continued. Lucy confronted distemper, testing her resilience against relentless illnesses. Despite the odds, Lucy persevered, slowly regaining physical strength, though her trust in humans remained shattered.
Her caretakers embarked on a mission to rebuild Lucy’s trust, providing round-the-clock care, syringe-fed bone broth, and unwavering love. Although her physical recovery progressed, the emotional healing was a gradual process.
