Sometime back in June

we uncovered a farm where illegal breeding appear to be ungoing. After observing the area and speaking with the workers around the farm, we alerted the authorities. They came down, did a routine check but was unable to act immediately due to lack of evidence that illegal breeding is ACTUALLY happening.


There was this lab lookalike who was chained to a pillar. Despite being deprived of human contact and affection, this young fellow is himself very friendly and affectionate.

Soon after the authorities commenced their investigations, the 'breeder' removed all his other dogs except for this boy. No qualms about it nor any concern about his welfare. This fellow was just let loose of his chain and left there, conveniently forgotten - like a lifeless object.

* Investigation of illegal breeding is ongoing.

V noticed that no one was feeding him anymore and thus took upon herself to feed this boy. He has a big appetite! Has every potential to be pudgy like Chance, gotta take note.

Few days back, V saw that his paws were swollen and he was having difficulty walking, sometimes even collapsing after a few steps. He seemed to be in pain.

So on Sat, V brought him to the vet thinking that his paws were probably infected by some strong detergent/chemicals on the ground. That wasn't the case. What happened was - flies somehow managed to lay a host of eggs in between his toes and UNDER his nails! Eggs hatched into maggots and those critters were feeding on him in the tight corners of his paws. Poor fellow - it was a painful experience.



Couple of his nails have to be extracted to flush out the eggs and maggots, and he has to wear an e-collar to prevent him from licking his wounds. But hey no worries, this fellow is well on his way to recovery! Still jolly and waggy and affectionate. And one thing we found out - he is not just a lab-wannabe. This fellow is the REAL THING - yes, he is a genuine 100% lab. Young lad of about 8 months.


Shall we name him LUCAS?


* Let us give our boy a promise of a genuinely loving and committed family who will be in return blessed by his steadfast loyalty and friendship. Email us at projectjkteam@yahoo.com.sg if you have someone in mind.
