Last September, a fur dad named William Thomas Green took Cokie, his rescue dog, to the park. Although it had rained the night before, he still wanted to take his active dog for a walk and play fetch with him. However, when he took Cokie’s leash off, something caught the pitbull’s eye.
According to Green, Cokie ran right away toward a corner of the park, and she would not stop staring at him. So he decided to walk toward her and check what the pooch was so concerned about.
And what Green saw broke his heart.
As it turned out, Cokie led Green to a foxhound pup in a muddy puddle. The poor puppy had been abandoned, and she was so skinny and could not even stand.
Green immediately got back to his car to get some food and water for the pup. After finally getting to eat and drink, the pup stood up and refused to leave Green’s side.
Green gave the pup lots of pets and could see her begin to relax. He also brought her to a vet clinic, where she was diagnosed with whipworms and heartworms. Aside from that, she was also malnourished, and the vet found that she had been previously used for breeding. Green then named her Lucky Lucy.
After recovering for a few days, Green drove Lucy to his home in Huntsville, Alabama. His wife’s parents and his brother-in-law immediately fell in love with Lucy. They took the pup in, and now, she weighs more than 27 kilograms and is the happiest dog you could ever meet.
Lucy was timid during her first few weeks in the family, and despite her breed, she would not bark or howl.
When she became much more comfortable, Lucy began doing tiny “awoos.” And that’s when the family could tell that she had already developed trust in them. Now, just seeing a bird outside can make her go crazy and howl.
Lucy and Cokie have also gotten much close ever since their first encounter. They always play together at the park and in their backyard. The two also love cuddling each other.
Green is thankful that he found Lucy and was able to help her when she needed it the most. And as for Lucy, she has given him and his family all the love she can give.
