00:00 She lost so much weight that she looked like a skeleton.
00:05 You could see every rib, every vertebrae.
00:09 People had banged her legs.
00:11 Okay, I'll give you attention. Right.
00:14 I know, I know. You ready?
00:18 It didn't matter how much we had hurt.
00:22 Harlow was deteriorating before our eyes.
00:26 She ran multiple tests, but all of her tests were actually showing up perfect.
00:33 She just continued to lose weight.
00:37 We really couldn't figure out what was happening.
00:40 We felt helpless.
00:43 Despite all that Harlow was going through, she never lost her spark.
00:49 What are you doing?
00:53 What's that? They're for you.
00:58 Oh, sweet girl.
01:01 You got your turtle.
01:03 As long as she had that light in her eyes, hello, and that wag in her tail.
01:09 Your little tail wagging?
01:12 We were not going to give up on her.
01:15 I'm going to get you a better window, you little sweet girl.
01:19 Eventually, things got to a point where she became so incredibly ill.
01:27 She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't drink.
01:30 No.
01:31 We ended up having to go into emergency on average two to three times a week.
01:37 Joy had kind of left her eyes.
01:41 That Friday evening, we thought, we can't let her suffer.
01:45 We wrote a bucket list, and we're going to do all the things that she loves over the weekend.
01:51 Then on that Monday, we were going to make that appointment to end her suffering.
01:59 On the Saturday morning, we got a call from Dr. Amy.
02:03 Amy suggested that Harlow might be among the rare number of dogs that has an allergic life reaction to animal proteins.
02:12 She suggested that we try this vegetarian diet.
02:19 As soon as we offered her this food, we had been trying to get her to eat for weeks, but she ate it straight away.
02:30 No jumpies. Good girl.
02:32 All of a sudden, her symptoms stopped.
02:35 Her eyes lit up.
02:37 That wag in her tail came back.
02:40 Could I have?
02:42 She goes, no.
02:45 That spark came back.
02:48 You're so strong. Look at you.
02:51 Look at you jumping up and down.
02:53 We couldn't believe it. We were just in tears of relief and joy.
02:58 She continued to put that weight on.
03:01 We were having huge celebrations.
03:04 Oh, what a big dog.
03:06 Oh, look at that.
03:11 Harlow went from being a dog on death's door to gaining her zest for life back.
03:19 We are just so grateful of the amazing veterinary team.
03:25 She can run along the beach.
03:27 She can walk out on trails.
03:30 To see her out there living her best life is just really the most heartwarming thing for us.
