Lucky Lucy

(2010-01-31)

My name is Lucky Lucy...Update!

For all interested people... here is an update on Lucy. We also have some updated pics - you can check them all out at the end of this article.

Natalie says "Lucy is slowly adjusting to the amputation, it will take her some time to get the "balance" right. She is however eating well and is at ease with both the vets around her as well as Richelle, the girl that saved her. This initial bond is strong and I am really pleased that Richelle is adopting Lucy - she could not have asked for a better home!

I will send another up-date in a few days time and also feedback as soon as I get any information on the identification of the person/people that did this to Lucy.

Thanks again for everyone's support, prayers, kind e-mails and donations!"

My name is Lucky Lucy and I was tied to a railway line to be hit by a train.

All I remember is that I was happy and playing, I was fed and didn't go hungry. Perhaps my owner did love me at one stage cause I lived well and warm, I was clean and had friends to play with and I found a boyfriend and carried his babies, but then suddenly for some reason something changed in my owner.

He went looking for a strong rope, something that couldn't snap or get loose and he took me with him, which I thought would be the usual stroll you go on with your owner. But then we were at the train tracks and he grabbed me, took my hind legs and stretched them out to be tied to my front legs, them my body stretched, was tied to the railway line. Then he took my head and tied it to the bold that holds the track in place. My head must have been about a centimetre away from the track.

Then he turned and walked away... didn't even look back. I thought at first this must be a game but he disappeared. I didn't know what was going on - then I felt the vibration and heard the noise... I saw this huge train coming at me and I couldn't move... I tried with all my strength but I just couldn't move...

The train went over my leg - my paw was gone and my muscle had been ripped from my already smashed bone.

I didn't feel any more... I just lay dead still and waited to die - a few more trains went over me... I just closed my eyes and hoped I would die soon to end this agony.

Out of nowhere this man saw me, he screamed and ran away only to come back with two people. They jumped out of their car and cut my neck and paws from the ropes. I don't know if my life was now going to be completely over cause who would want to keep me alive - in my state?

They put me in their car and took me to the hospital. I head the lady and man say "Hold on for us girl... don't give up... we will help you".

Now I will try my best to pull through, I know they are asking everyone to pray for me, so I will pray for me too.
