00:00 I felt this connection with her instantly.
00:02 And so I kept going back and walking her.
00:05 They said that she needed a foster in that winter.
00:08 She'd lost a lot of weight.
00:10 And I just thought, okay, just the winter
00:11 just to help fasten her up.
00:13 She came into the flat
00:15 and she was just like instantly at home.
00:17 The first thing she did was just jump on the sofa.
00:20 She's very, very skinny.
00:21 When I looked into her eyes,
00:25 I just knew that there was something special there.
00:28 I was just surprised that she wasn't adopted straight away.
00:31 This is so sweet.
00:33 She had her first everything.
00:40 Her first toy, and we just had a little bit of tug of war.
00:44 She had her first bath.
00:46 And she was just thinking, what's going on?
00:48 She had her first single bed.
00:53 So happy when she gained her weight.
00:56 She just looked like a happy, healthy boxer again.
00:59 Honestly, from the first moment she stepped into the flat,
01:02 I thought, this is gonna be really hard
01:04 to say goodbye to her.
01:05 We've just grown to love each other so much.
01:08 I thought, okay, so she needs a warm home.
01:11 She needs someone who loves her.
01:12 Okay, realistically, can I provide this for her?
01:15 And in the end, I spoke to my parents about it.
01:19 And they already knew from the start
01:20 that this probably won't just be a foster.
01:23 I went and we signed the papers
01:25 and it was just one of the happiest days of my life.
01:28 We're kind of inseparable.
01:30 When I went to visit my family in London,
01:32 then she would come with me, we would drive.
01:35 When I would go to university, she joined me,
01:37 she'd come to lectures.
01:39 We know that we're there for each other.
01:41 Ludie was originally quite a dominant dog
01:43 and she was quite difficult to socialize with other dogs.
01:47 And we went to London where we had our other boxer, Wembley,
01:52 and I was quite nervous about her meeting him.
01:54 When they met, they just became inseparable
01:57 and it was a very special moment.
01:59 It was the first dog that she'd got on with.
02:02 She was the best decision I ever made in my life.
02:05 Bang, bang!
02:06 Good!
