\u201cEk het die geweer gevat en wou haar skiet om haar uit haar ellende te verlos, maar toe kom sy na my aangekruip,\u201d vertel Johan Lourens van Hennenman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourens kon dit nie oor sy hart kry om die uitgeteerde, verwaarloosde brandsiek windhond van kant te maak nie en het aan sy vrou, Sharon, gevra of sy kans sien om die hond te versorg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourens, wat voorheen geboer het en ook vervoerwerk gedoen het, s\u00ea hy en Sharon het agt jaar gelede vir Lucky op \u2019n plaas in die Blaauwdrift-omgewing naby Welkom in die veld gesien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy was net vel-en-been en het nie gelyk of sy sal oorleef nie,\u201d s\u00ea Sharon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourens was ontsteld omdat die hond so sleg gelyk het en het aan die plaaseienaar gevra of hy haar kan skiet sodat sy nie verder ly nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die ou end is Lucky in die egpaar se voertuig gelaai en na \u2019n draai by die veearts het \u2019n koninklike lewe in Allanridge op haar gewag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Lourens-egpaar, diereliefhebbers soos min, het intussen na Hennenman verhuis waar hulle deesdae met hul kroos van 12 honde woon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 7 Mei het Lucky, nou \u2019n grysaard, wat die meeste van haar tyd in haar hondehok deurbring, spoorloos verdwyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharon s\u00ea sy weet iemand het Lucky gesteel en glo dit was mense wat gedink het hulle kan met haar jag of haar gebruik om mee te teel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharon en haar dogter, Lorraine van Zyl, het hul voete in Hennenman se strate deurgeloop op soek na Lucky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het op veiligheidsgroepe foto\u2019s van die hond geplaas en mense gevra om op die uitkyk vir haar te wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharon het vir Hennenman se munisipale vullisverwyderaars foto\u2019s van Lucky gestuur en hulle gevra om haar te help om Lucky op te spoor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nege dae later, op 16 Mei, het een van di\u00e9 werkers gebel en ges\u00ea hulle het Lucky in die Phomolong-township, sowat sewe kilometer buite Hennenman gesien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee van die werkers het saam met Lourens en Sharon gery om Lucky te gaan haal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLucky is nie die soort hond wat met haar hart op haar mou loop nie, sy is nie juis uitbundig nie, maar ons kon sien sy is bly om ons weer te sien,\u201d s\u00ea Lourens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
