The circumstances of Lucky the dog have changed dramatically from a year ago, when the whimpering pup was rescued by a stranger from the doorstep of a Conway home, surrounded by the rising flood waters of the Waccamaw River.
The 7-month-old yellow Labrador mix was clearly malnourished, scared by pellet shots – one still embedded in his head – and terrified.
Alex Scroggins spotted the puppy while running his boat down the flood-swollen street to help evacuate family members during last October’s record rain storm, and it didn’t take him long to realize that the dog, named Lucky by his previous owner, had been abandoned.
“He started wailing and whining, and looked like he was going to swim off, get swept off by the current. I couldn’t leave him,” Scroggins said.
