Oliver - Lucas was a Siberian Husky who had been sold to a middle age man by a dog breeder on a farm when he was about one years old.Oliver-Lucas who's owners usually called him Ollie had a problem,prior to being bought no one had wanted him due to his severe untreated impetigo that he had at just a few months old. The middle age mans name was Aarav Patel an Indian who had been living in the United Kingdom about 30 years.He first came to the U.K when his parents had just about enough money to surgically remove a enlarged facial tumor which had took a huge portion of his face.Since Aarav was little, children,even adults never felt comfortable around him. Aarav used to be picked on by his classmates at local school,no one wanted to play with him eventually his parents felt it would be best to stay home.Despite being deformed Aarav did have one friend an old Frenchmen,Lucas a big fan of classic rock artists such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, etc. He was blind however,aided just by a simple guide dog a English Mastiff that was always playful and friendly to Aarav whenever he would come around to Lucas's house. Usually when Aarav talked with this man he would always ask him 'What makes you find me more interesting to be around "Shouldn't a nice Young boy like you go and play with happy young kids''? Aarav never knew how to answer his question until one day he decided to tell Lucas that he had a large facial tumor that took a huge potion of his face and that most people either avoided him or made fun of him.What the Frenchmen said to Young Aarav shocked him, "I am blind of course and yet I can still see such an nice Young boy. Huh said Aarav, Yes, Continued The Frenchmen all I saw in you was who you truly were an nice young boy you always wanted to talk and play and learn just like all the other kids outside because I am Blind I am able to see this but I'm actually not the only one who can.

Well who else can Said Aarav. Oh Why my guide Dog of course said Lucas, He always was happy and playful with you when ever you would come by to see me.Something I hadn't noticed in years. Aarav let me tell you a important life lesson a blind old man like me had learned just by having a guide dog beside me my whole life.Dogs can sense who people truly are by seeing you through there eyes,My guide dog in your case, wants to be playful with you because he just sees typical happy child. Aarav had never heard this from anyone even after he had gotten the tumor removed in the U.K when he was almost 18 so he had never forgot what he had been told. Aarav had lived alone for years in a small house in Aberdeen and finally decided he had wasn't going to live alone for much longer so he decided to get a pet.He knew automatically He wanted a Dog so he went to a Dog breeder about an hour from where he lived and seen that the breeder had many dogs and many people came to buy them from him but there was one dog , a Siberian Husky who had been by himself, very sad looking no one wanted him he could see just by looking at the dog's eyes that the dog was sad and alone just like he had been as a boy he asked the dog breeder if he could buy the dog and the Dog breeder told and showed him why no one wanted the dog,because of his severe skin condition,however he didn't want the dog to be sad so he decided to buy him.When they got home Aarav figured the dogs impetigo would't be much of a problem if he cleaned and bathed him regularly and used the Cream given to him by the vet on the dog.The Challenge for Aarav would be naming his new household pet, he thought to himself and decided to go with Oliver a popular English name.Hey Oliver said Aarav do you want that to be your new name? The Dog didn't respond,he just glared at Aarav very deeply and then Aarav remembered his old friend Lucas and what he had said to him years earlier.How about Oliver-Lucas you like that boy? You think that is a good name?
