WARNING:  This report contains graphic pictures
Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue received
an email about a little stray lhasa apso that was
found in a north Houston neighborhood.  When our
volunteer saw this little dog, she just about broke out
crying.  The person finding him named him Lucky Boy,
but we changed it to Dexter.  So we call him Lucky
Boy Dexter!

Lucky Boy Dexter is
extremely thin and
anemic.  He has both
sarcoptic mange and
demodex.  He also has
heartworms.

Update June 19, 2004
Lucky Boy has been responding to doxycycline for two weeks and is
significantly much better.  He is perky and one of the sweetest little dogs.  
He came home to a foster home this weekend and we found out that at
some time in his past, Lucky Boy Dexter has been a very well-traveled pet.
 He jumped right into the car to come home and settled down right on the
seat.  So sad that he went from obviously being loved to being in this
shape.  
Update July 4, 2004
You can see it in his eyes - he KNOWS now that he will be loved.  His body is still ravaged by the mange, but
look at the face - look at the eyes.  He knows!!
Here Dexter is trying to get his new best friend,
Fuzzy, to play.
Here he is Saturday, July 3, for his
normal weekly vet visit.
Update August 15, 2004
WOW!!!  Look at this little guy now!!!
This is the side of
his face that used
to be hairless and
wrinkled.
