Dog Stabbed 29 Times is On the Road to Recovery!

This tough pup is still recovering after a harrowing experience. Gucci, a bull terrier was transferred after a violent attack. Gucci was allegedly stabbed by his former owner 29 times.

Gucci was moved from his temporary home in Doña Ana County, New Mexico to a rehabilitation center in Texas for continued care. His new home, Bayou Animal Services in Texas, will provide specialized care so 6-year old Gucci can continue to heal.

“Animal control officer Gwyneth Kingsley, through an animal control officers’ network, located an animal services organization with a licensed behaviorist on staff,” said Mary Lou Ward, a Doña Ana County Animal Control supervisor, ABC7 reports. “With the trauma Gucci experienced, he requires more specialized, focused care for his recovery.”

Bayou Animal Services will provide Gucci with special services, including work with a behaviorist. Nadine Perez, the company’s licensed behaviorist will help Gucci develop the social skills necessary so that he can find his forever home and become comfortable around people again.

“He’s brave and he’s stubborn. The boy won’t give up and that’s what makes him a miracle, not his injuries healing, but his sheer will to survive everything,” Kingsley told ABC7. “I’ll be sad to see him go. However, we’ve connected Gucci to the best behavioral experts he truly needs after the brutality that was inflicted upon him.”
