Lucky was treated for severe burns to 15 percent of his body and has scars along his body where his hair won't grow back. But his health is good, Parrish says, and she says his emotional scars have healed as well.

"Amazingly enough, he's just as much a crazy, normal puppy as he was before all this happened," Parrish says. Parrish explains that she and Lucky's veterinarian both think because Lucky was so young when he was set on fire he doesn't remember what happened. Lucky turned 1 this past February.

Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officers arrested two boys, ages 11 and 14, on three separate felony counts for arson, torture and tormenting an animal, according to Capt. Byron Pipkin, special operations officer with the public safety department.

The boys have since been released to their families. They face a hearing on April 29 in Juvenile Delinquency Court in San Jose. Parrish will testify against them.

Parrish had been paying one of the boys $2 a day to play with her two dogs after school every day until the incident.

"It's hard knowing that the boys are free and roaming. I see them sometimes, and they haven't apologized," Parrish says. "It's difficult knowing that they don't have any remorse for what they did."

Animal Planet producers, a national cable television show, visited Parrish in March to record a show that will air on national television in April or May, says Parrish. Her two grandsons played the role of the two boys in the filming. "We filmed the story from start to finish, for three days," she says. "It was painful for me to watch it happen because I had to see what Lucky went through," she says.

Though Lucky's emotional scars may have healed, Parrish says life will never be the same. "We have to keep the dogs indoors at all times. I don't feel comfortable leaving them outside alone. I don't think I ever will again," she says.

But on the bright side, Parrish says Lucky is doing well, and support from the community as well as donations from people across the country helped him survive. Parrish says that future donations will go to a fund to help abused animals across the country.
