Lucy’s story
Susan and Lucy first met seven years ago. Susan rescued the cute pup in Puerto Rico. Susan and her family suspected that Lucy had a history of abuse because Lucy was afraid of new people. Lucy’s discomfort with other people also probably got worse because of the pandemic.
Lucy didn’t have many opportunities to meet new people and learn that they would not hurt her. When Lucy escaped, Susan’s daughter Molly spent all day looking for her. Luckily, there were a lot of dog lovers in New York who were there to help.
