00:00 She's basically a blonde husky.
00:02 (growling)
00:03 But everything has been shrunk to two feet tall.
00:05 (growling)
00:07 My name is Jordan and this is the story for Gio-B.
00:10 (growling)
00:12 She was found at the side of the road in Baja, California.
00:15 (growling)
00:16 She was pregnant when the rescue first found her.
00:19 So I don't know if someone just gonna let her go
00:21 because she was pregnant or what her situation was then.
00:24 (growling)
00:28 She had her puppies in a foster home
00:30 and she found her way to me.
00:32 Bean had this big smile in her adoption photo
00:35 and that was like, this is my dog.
00:37 (growling)
00:38 Her puppies got adopted as well.
00:39 When I first met her, I realized how small she was
00:42 because she ends up being only like 35 pounds,
00:45 which is pretty small for a husky mix.
00:48 She's not afraid of strangers at all.
00:51 She came up to me and was wagging, very happy.
00:55 Yeah.
00:55 (growling)
00:56 I covered her head and I was like,
00:58 oh my gosh, she's so much softer than I expected.
00:59 She's developed grumbles for different things.
01:02 Oh my goodness.
01:03 (growling)
01:05 If she wants to go for a walk or if she's just bored
01:07 or if she wants attention, there are slight nuances
01:10 between her grumbles that we have been able to decipher.
01:13 (growling)
01:15 What do you need?
01:18 (growling)
01:20 Her needs are not being met, she'll let us know.
01:25 We do our best to obviously get in front of those,
01:27 but sometimes she just needs to remind us.
01:30 (growling)
01:32 One of the biggest compliments I've ever received
01:34 was that someone said that they'd never met an owner
01:37 in a dog that are so similar,
01:39 which is the nicest thing anyone could say
01:41 'cause she's so sweet.
01:43 (growling)
01:44 She doesn't love to cuddle.
01:46 I wish she cuddled more,
01:47 but I wouldn't respect her boundaries.
01:49 (growling)
01:50 Whenever we come in through our front door,
01:52 she will always be at the top of the stairs,
01:54 just kind of peeking out.
01:55 She knows that we're gonna greet her
01:56 at the top of the stairs, so she'll just wait for us there.
01:59 Hi.
02:00 Yeah?
02:02 My husband is a sucker for the pet,
02:03 so she'll go straight to him.
02:04 So she loves him for that,
02:06 but she's definitely more attached to me, I think.
02:09 People always say that your dogs get separation anxiety,
02:11 but I feel like I get separation anxiety
02:13 when I'm away from my dog for too long.
02:15 (growling)
02:16 She's an extension of me at this point.
02:18 If I go on a walk outside without her,
02:21 I'm like, this feels so bizarre.
02:23 It feels like a piece of me is missing
02:25 when we're not together.
02:26 (growling)
02:27 I'm a photographer, and she is my favorite subject.
02:31 (laughing)
02:32 (upbeat music)
02:35 (dog barking)
02:38 (upbeat music)
02:40 (upbeat music)
