The incredible transformation of Pascal the puppy who was covered in glue and left to die as he settles in with his new family
- Pascal was a four month old stray puppy in Turkey when he was brought to He'Art of Rescue in Istanbul
- He had been covered in super industrial glue and it had attached itself to his skin like cement
- The pup could just barely move and was frightened of people
- After months of recovery, he went to his new loving home and has a thick, glossy coat of fur
The stray puppy who was found in an almost statue-like state from being covered in industrial strength glue and dragged through the mud is healthy and loving life in his forever home.
In November, Pascal horrified animal lovers everywhere when he was brought into the Istanbul-based rescue group He'Art of Rescue covered in glue and dragged through mud. He was so stiff he could just barely move and had been left in a box to die.
The rescue group, which said it was kids who poured glue on the pup, said that the dried glue 'became a second skin in time and as thick as the cement, preventing blood flow to several points in his body.' Staff said Pascal moaned and dragged himself to a corner of the examination room and stared at staff in mistrust, a 'broken' soul.

When Pascal was brought into He'Art of Rescue in Turkey, he could barely move because of the thick, dried glue and mud on his coat, which had hardened into a cement-like substance
After months of rehab and care, Pascal now lives with his new family in Spain and has a new doggy pal
Pascal was recently shown running free on the beach, quite a difference from when he could barely lift his paw while covered in hardened glue
When the stiff, thick glue was finally shaved completely off him and he could move again, staff said he stood in 'shock' for one day. His skin was red and raw.
With the love and care of the rescue group, he slowly learned to trust and allow people to handle him, and he beat his virus and began acting like a normal puppy. He also made a fellow puppy pal during his recovery.
The industrial glue had hardened around his body, leaving him in a shell from which he could barely move
In addition to the glue and cement, Pascal had the dangerous virus parvo and was deaf in one ear, probably from the glue getting inside of it
Pascal moaned and crawled to a corner of the room, where he watched the staff with wary, mistrustful eyes
Covered in twigs and mud stuck into the glue, Pascal could basically move only his tongue
After carefully shaving the hardened substance from his body, Pascal was left red and raw but could finally move
Pascal was wary of humans, but developed a close bond with his vet
Pascal's hair slowly started to grow in and his health improved, but he was still shy around new people
He became fast buddies with a fellow rescue at the group, which helped bring him further out of his shell
All that remained was for the loving but traumatized pup to find a forever home.
In March, the group posted new pictures of an unrecognizable Pascal, now with a thick, fluffy, shiny new coat of fur.
In pictures, he runs and leaps on the beach in Spain with his new mommy and his new doggy friend.
'HAPPY TIMES AFTER EVERYTHING HE WENT THROUGH FINALLY !!! PASCAL is spending the week-end with his family in Spain by the beach! Breathtaking view!' wrote the group.
Pascal made strides in a foster home over Christmas where he learned to trust and play
Pascal learned to love to live the good life, laying on the furniture and being spoiled, his eyes are now bright and relaxed, not fearful
The staff holds Pascal who looks much more grown now and has a thick fur coat
At a foster home, Pascal learned to play with a buddy and act like a normal, happy dog with his tail wagging
