The tragic story of Pascal touched millions of people around the world. Last October, in Istanbul, children stole him from the streets to inflict a variety of cruel tortures. After almost completely covering him in glue, they dragged him in the mud and hit him "just for fun," before leaving him for dead.The Turkish association, He'Art of Rescue, took him in after a passerby discovered him agonizing in pain. The tiny dog rolled around on the ground, constantly trying to rid himself of the thick coating on his body.

On his arrival at the veterinary clinic, the glue had hardened. The volunteers were horrified by Pascal's state and his regard, beaten and terrified. "A statue made of mud and glue, a statue at the mercy of anyone who passes by. A statue plunged into into desperate fear about what was going to happen to him," commented the organization on Facebook.

After several hours of intensive care, the glue removed, he was finally able to breathe normally again. Pascal also received several therapeutic baths and a preventative antibiotic treatment.

Despite the cruelty he faced, the pooch found the force to fight and regain trust in humans. In total, Pascal stayed one month at the He'Art of Rescue clinic. In addition to the glue and superficial injuries, he had contracted parvovirus, a potentially deadly viras which affects the intestines and hearts of dogs, especially puppies.Luckily, the treatments were all successful and he was able to pull through the traumatic events.
