TURKEY -- A stray dog left for dead after being covered in glue and dragged through mud is now unrecognisable after making an astonishing recovery.
Heartbreaking footage showed the pooch, Pascal, looking terrified and in pain following the sickening act of violence at the hands of cruel kids.
The poor mongrel could hardly move and looked to be already dead after enduring the terrible abuse which caused rigor mortis to begin to set in.
Luckily, he was found near an industrial estate in Istanbul, Turkey, and is slowly being nursed back to health by the charity He'Art of Rescue.
The unkind kids had covered him in so much of the industrial glue that it acted like cement, causing one of his ears to become necrotic because it was starved of blood.
But less than a month after being rescued, Pascal is making an amazing recovery.
Not only is he completely unrecognisable, he has also made pals with another pupy.
Despite being tormented by children, he seems relatively calm around the vets who are caring for him.
He was found to be suffering from Parvo, but has beaten the viral infection after several weeks of treatment.
Nur Rima Yola, founder of He'Art of Rescue, said: "Pascal was in a miserable state when I first saw him inside that box.
"He was not moving, he had frozen, and he was very scared and traumatised.
"After the glue had been removed, he stood in shock for one day. He even turned his back to hide when he saw people.
"He is doing better, slowly getting used to the staff in the clinic where of course he is being given lots of love and care."
While many would have written Pascal off, medical staff at He'Art of Rescue are dedicating their time to helping the pooch recover before finding him a new home.
The malnourished mutt has already picked up admirers from around the world, with millions of people viewing videos of him online.
He'Art of Rescue, which specialises in rescuing cats and dogs found in awful conditions, is appealing for help as they rehabilitate Pascal and other animals.
Rima said: "We know his soul will mend in time and the adoptive family will play a major role in this. Our medical team is doing everything for him."
