LUCY the lucky rescued GreekStray

This helpless soul was found wandering, lost, starved, be-raggled, full of fleas and ticks. Sadly it has become one of the lucky rescued, saved doggies.  A very good friend of mine, was traveling on holiday in the Peloponnese and got lost whilst trying to get from Pylos to ancient Messini.  Outside a village called Chora, which wasn't too far way from Yalova, she stopped to check her map.  Upon turning round, shock, horror, disbelief hit her in the face.  What faced her was a helpless soldier.  All bones and skin and alarming, by the side of the road.  Like us, she always carried cat and dog food in her car, because one never knows when it might be needed.  Immediately she gave it food.  Then she got such a crazy idea and that was to take this dog, who she then named LUCY, into her car and drive her back to Athens.  Her friend told her that she couldn't save all animals on the planet, which is true, but sometimes there are a few that cross our paths, and these are the ones that can be saved.  Into the car it went and was driven to a private kennel in Athens, close to the airport.   She could not leave this helpless soul behind. She knew she had to give it a chance.

She named her LUCY.  At this private kennel, immediate attention was given to her, followed by vet's treatments.  I was asked to help with this case and I immediately posted this desperate situation onto the social sites.  People were so kind and a small amount of money was raised.  It was costing 350 Euros for a months stay in this private kennel and vet's fees on top.  I contacted a wonderful organisation in Holland, who did offer to help, but first blood tests had to be conducted.

Time has moved on and LUCY is beginning to be a proper dog again.  It is incredible to see the progress that has been made.  Treatment, love and care are the key essentials in making a huge difference to a helpless soul.

There is more good news to report and that is on Friday 13th September '13, she will move to another private dwelling with a very loving person, who will continue with her treatment and care.  

The final good news is that once LUCY has been given the all clear, she will be travelling to Holland, where a foster home is waiting for her.

Such a very happy outcome for a wonderful lucky dog.  In time, I am sure that LUCY will have forgotten all about her traumas and will have a super family who will adore her to bits.
