Phil W Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Lucas, a beautiful black & white boy who received worldwide attention and support last year after the horrible case of abuse that he was the victim in came to light, has finally come home to his forever home with our pack. He had been held in puppy jail as evidence while the abuser walked free. Last Thursday was his day in court and the abuser was convicted:biggthumpup: and Lucas was released:biggthumpup::biggthumpup:. I drove to McMinnville TN (650 miles, 12 hours each way) and got him. We arrived back home late yesterday. He is a very sweet and loving boy especially considering what he has gone through. More info and pictures are on his Dogster page: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/925345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 We don't know his exact age. He was reported to be a year and a half old when his ordeal started eleven months ago. That would make him about two and a half now. We hope that his real age will be in the medical records that were mailed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Oh how wonderful that he's home! How's he adjusting today??? I know your family has been looking forward to giving him his forever home....bless you both for that. Give him a hug from Bo and I. I can't tell you what it means to know he'll have the best home ever now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Lucas has been here a week now. He has fit into the pack wonderfully. The only grumbling was from Nanook in the first few minutes, since then they have been playing quite a bit. Zoe and Princess play with him a lot too. The rest are friendly towards him but not as playful. No accidents in the house either. All in all he is a wonderful BIG (78 lbs) boy who just wants to be loved on and give love back. The only bad baggage he seems to have brought along with him is he will run and hide if we fuss at one of the other kids (he has not given us any reason to fuss at him at all). He also does have some difficulty grabbing food out of his bowl as he has no canines to pick it up with and almost no other teeth to chew with. Soft food is a must because of all the dental work. We understand that a couple of "human" dentists helped in the repair of his teeth as the vet had no experience in the type of repairs that he needed. All total he lost 6 teeth, had root canals and fillings on 13, and crowns on several more. All total the near $5000 which was paid with donations sent in from many concerned people.

Phil W Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Almost all of my picture files are too big and a site mentioned elsewhere on this site will not come up when I try to go to it. So I'm kinda stuck as far as pictures go. Can't do several of the other kids pictures either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
