Pascal the puppy had the most terrible start in life, after he was submerged in glue and dragged through mud by some cruel children. This coating on his body formed a hard second skin, restricting his movement, cutting off the blood supply to parts of his body, and forcing him to drag his back legs.
Thankfully, he was brought into the care of Istanbul-based He’art of Rescue International, shivering and afraid in a cardboard box. The clinic staff and volunteers shaved his shaking body, freeing him from the cage of debris and leaving him pink and confused.
Initially mistrustful of people, Pascal soon formed a bond with another rescue dog, and slowly but surely began to come out of his shell.
In March, He’art of Rescue International shared pictures of Pascal online, which showed him enjoying his new life on the beach in Spain with his adoptive family, and looking very grown up!
