Update on Lucas from Hellin. Charl writes...
Lucas comes home.
Lucas.. "light of God"
A tortured soul one so beaten down 'Ive got to say I cringe at the thought. Sadly I've seen many a case of a beaten down galgo or pod.. but Lucas cries a tear and with that tear my heart bleeds.
He makes me remember Apolo.. Ann Kneightly. For Lucas is more pod than Galgo.
His pain so very very raw he refuses to walk. Frozen in time of abuse. Waiting for the next swing. Hit. Beating. Stoning. God... where were you? Well.. I believe God shone his light and led Lucas home. For at times the devil seeps into lives and consumes their souls. Too late can they be saved.. I dont know. But Lucas yes was.
Cive me the strength to save Lucas' soul for he is drowning in mortal fear. Unable to move I had to enter the transportine to manage him out.
His skin raw. Bleeding. Swollen. His heart defeated. This is a serious case and no quick remedy.
I admit it's hard for me to balance tragic cases which have no way of leaving the finca for sometime. This I do believe God knows.. for without you I cannot maintain cases of such time span. To me.. you are my heroes.
With carrying Lucas to his garden bay something triggered a panic moment and he turned and bit my face. A perk of the job!!! But this is fear. Jeez its all he has to defend himself. I continue dripping blood for he is my priority. I lay him safely on his bed. And go and cure myself.
Please dont worry... it's just the way it is.
Sore.. wounded. An existence of a shell of a dog. He needs to learn he's worthy.
For now.. he has nothing to live for that he knows of. What have they done to you?
Ears cut. Bleeding toes. Rigid body. There's no easy answer to this case.
God overpowers the devil.. and boy will you have your fall, abusers. Watch out because what you have sewn you will indeed reap.
For now.. Lucas remains in the special care isolation bay near the house where he can be observed 24 hours. This is an overnight watch case. For giving up is not an option! He will be left just quietly in peace in the garden bay. His basic needs met for now with a feeling that floats the finca. I will wear your pain Lucas.. I will take it on in order to set you free. I will do all I can to guide you. Peace for now will be all thats needed.
I cannot express enough the incredible abuse and pain Lucas has felt. He would reduce you to tears. No photo will show enough his trauma.
For now... Im sorry to say he's trapped in hell. So if you pray... please do for him. Hes a heart broken case who breaks our hearts to see. donate to vet fees to Paypal
I remember galga Greta being the same - the photo everywhere of Dioni carrying her - she would not walk, she was so frozen with fear. My foster and then rehomed in the UK. Now she runs and plays on the beach, free from lead and free from fear.
I cried when I read this. I am thinking of you Lucas, please pull through, you are in the best hands now. Bless you Charl, you are an angel. Shame on the thugs who did this to you, may they get the same back tenfold. I hope that Lucas one day gets to run on the beach and experience happiness, gentle hands, soft words, a life without fear and pain. So many dogs like this suffering, it is heartbreaking. At least there is hope here as he could have no one better and kinder than Charl to take care of him.

This is heartbreaking to read, but thank God for Charl.
The cruelty that mankind inflicts on living creatures never fails to amaze me, but one day they will face Judgement - of that I am sure.
Stay strong Lucas - you are now loved and cared for. Bless you Charl.

don't know if i can help but would love to give loving forever home to lucas or ollie. have had lifetime experience of taking on and giving love to disabled abused animals. once had a "fozen" pet rat honeybun who came to me in terrible condition and was frozen with fear, soon sorted her out by pretending to ignore her until she came to me of her own accord and her confidence soared. okay a pet rat is not a podenco but the basics are the same. please contact me for more details and let me know if i can help.thanx. sjmt.
