After weeks of suffering and months of worry, Pascal has finally found a family, and is completely transformed. The tragic story of this tiny dog touched millions of people around the world. Last Octorber, in Istanbul, a group of children pulled him off the street and inflicted unimaginable cruelty upon him. After covering him completely in glue, they dragged him through mud and hit him, just "for fun,"before leaving him for dead.It was the association He'Art of Rescue who took him in after a passerby discovered him in agony. The little dog was rolling on the ground with all his force, incapable of removing the thick coating on his body.

By the time he arrived at the clinic, the glue had hardened. The volunteers were horrified by Pascal's state and the look in his eyes, at the same time defeated and terrified. "A statue made of mud and glue, a statue submissive to everything that happens around him. A statue in desperate fear of what is to come next," commented the association on their site.

After several hours of intensive care, the glue was gone, permitting him to finally breath normally again. Pascal also received several therapeutic baths and a preventative antibiotic treatment.

Despite the cruelty he experienced, the puppy found the force to fight and to trust. In total Pascal stayed a month at the He'Art of Rescue clinic. In addition to the glue and a few superficial injuries, he contractedparvovirus, a deadly virus which affects the intestines and hearts of dogs, especially puppies.Luckily, the treatment went well, and he recovered completely.
