Such was the extent of the abuse suffered by Pascal that he lost hearing in one of his ears - pictured his matted fur covers one side of his body
He was found near an industrial estate in Istanbul, Turkey, and is being looked after by the charity He'Art of Rescue.
Children had put so much glue on him it acted like cement and one of his ears become necrotic because it was starved of blood.
His skin also suffered extreme damage from the strong chemicals found in the glue and had to undergo a series of medical baths to help aid his recovery.
But less than a month after being rescued Pascal is making an amazing recovery and is now unrecognisable and has even made friends with another puppy.
Despite being tormented by children, he appears relatively calm when vets have been caring for him, removing the matted fur which had bonded with the thick glue.
He was found to be suffering from the canine virus parvo, but has beaten the viral infection after several weeks of treatment.
