There are several different versions on how this puppy sustained those injuries to his left eye. Witnesses had various narratives regarding the mistreatment this animal experienced daily, but not one person stepped forward to confirm who the pet belonged to. The Sheriff’s Department and Animal Control were notified, but because of the Easter Holiday weekend, no one was available to investigate the circumstances. Since it was after hours and many rescue groups were already closed, there was a mention of shooting the animal. A local rescuer, due to her persistence, was allowed to take responsibility for the dog.
The next morning Lucky (such irony!) was driven to a local veterinary clinic. The diagnosis was blunt force trauma to the eye. 
What brute does things like this to a young, innocent creature? The veterinarian ruled out the injuries to be caused by an impact with a car. The trauma being a few days old, unfortunately, the eye could not be saved. So this puppy at the young age of 4-5 months underwent an enucleation. 
According to the medical staff, Lucky already experienced less pain right after the surgery than the days leading up to the operation. He spent the night at the clinic and was picked up the next day by the rescue group where he will rest and recover from this ordeal. When fully healed and vetted, he will be placed for adoption.
Lucky lived in squalid conditions, in an environment of neglect, and starvation. He was severely abused during his young life, but he is resilient and ready to give his unconditional love to the person who will adopt him and give him a new beginning.
