Severely Injured Puppy Finds Loving Home After Abuse

Luca, a border collie puppy who endured unimaginable cruelty that left him with multiple fractures and severe burns, has finally found a loving home. His previous owner was indicted for throwing the 14-week-old puppy off a bed and scalding him with hot water, leading to extensive injuries including two femur fractures, three rib fractures, and burns affecting his back, ear, forehead, eye, and muzzle. After being unable to walk, Luca was taken to Blue Pearl Veterinary Hospital in New York City, where his critical condition was first treated. Overcoming his painful past, Luca, now named Niko and seven months old, revels in his new life filled with trips to the dog park and abundant affection from a caring adopter.
