William Thomas Green woke up bright and early to take Cokie to the dog park. Even though it had rained the night before, the guy wasn’t about to deny his companion a stroll and some play time, but when they got at the park and let free of Cokie’s leash, something piqued his dog’s interest.
Cokie accompanied her father to a filthy puddle where a helpless puppy was sleeping. The foxhound breed dog had apparently been abandoned during the night storm and was extremely weak and unwell, to the point that she could not even stand upright.
William stated to The Dodo:
“Cokie instantly rushed to a park corner and stared at me. I went back to see why she was so worried. Immediately, I went to the car and bought her food and water. After she ate and drank, she was able to get up and didn’t leave my side.”

William lavished caresses and attention on the terrified puppy, and he could see that she was beginning to relax. She was diagnosed with heartworm and trichocephalic disease at the veterinarian. She was also severely emaciated and had previously been used for breeding.
After a few days of recovery, the man named her Lucky Lucy and carried her to his home in Huntsville, Alabama, where he met the rest of his family.
According to William:
“My wife’s parents and brother-in-law both fell in love with her right away. She was adopted and currently weighs more than 60 pounds and is the happiest dog she has ever met.”

Lucy eventually realized she was safe after a long period of care and kindness.
William continued:
“Lucy was quite timid for the first two weeks, and despite being a hound, she did not growl or bark at anything. She began to do small ‘awoos’ once she felt more at ease, and we could see she was beginning to trust everyone in the family. She now goes insane and yells as if the home is being stormed whenever she sees a bird outside.”

Cokie and Lucy’s friendship has evolved since their initial chance meeting. William feels thankful to have been at the right place at the right time to help Lucy. In exchange, Lucy has given him and his family her unwavering love.
According to William:
“She and Cokie want nothing more than to play in the backyard and dog park together. Cokie is constantly welcomed to Lucy’s bed, and the two of them hug. They have a big sister-little sister feel going on.”

Finally, the gentleman added:
“It’s wonderful to get a second opportunity at life. I’m not sure how she can be so lovely after everything she’s been through.”
