Dog with malformed face dumped by family: Then angel arrives and makes everything right
Thanks to Jamie, Lucky found his forever home. He was finally given the love and care that he had sought for so long.
It’s been one hell of a bumpy ride, but Lucky has made a full recovery and is now enjoying life as a healthy dog.
“He almost didn’t make it. He was in the oxygen tank for a week. I ended up spending like $8000 dollars for treatment to get an MRI just to see what was going on because he was so infested… He was like skin and bones,” Jamie says.
Close to death
Jamie was so firm on her stance of helping Lucky, that she knew she’d do whatever it took to restore his health.
“It was a touch-and-go and we almost lost him once. I said to my vet, ‘I don’t care – for this particular dog just do whatever you need to and I will pay whatever it is. Don’t hold back.’ And he made it. He’s healthy. He’s in the free and clear.”
With the helps of veterinarians and Jamie’s huge heart, Lucky managed to turn things around. He’s now doing brilliantly!
Since adopting Lucky, Jamie’s had to put up with several derisory comments over the way he looks. She doesn’t care though; she loves Lucky for who he is.
Jamie says: “When I first got him I really wanted him to be associated with people, but people kept asking about his face and they would laugh at him. I was like ‘Don’t worry, go ahead and laugh.’ I started making ties for him. Just so that it would offset his face and just maybe the tie would draw it in where he’s cuter, where he’s not as scary.”
