00:00 Are you alive? Oh honey.
00:02 It was around eight o'clock and I heard a really high-pitched bark in the backyard.
00:11 I had wet food that I tried to bribe him with.
00:17 He was unapproachable so I came inside and got one of our crepe.
00:25 I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come on, you have to go in there.
00:30 I got him in the crate. I clipped the crate so that he couldn't climb out in any way.
00:52 Come here, sweetie. He was petrified. It's okay.
00:56 It's okay.
00:59 Well, there were a few times I tried to, you know, reach my hand.
01:18 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
01:23 You could tell he had never been around humans before.
01:28 You came to me.
01:32 Okay.
01:37 Called our vet first thing in the morning and they got us in. And here I am. Get him to the
01:48 vet's office. He's shy-eyeing me. They scanned him for a chip and he didn't have a chip.
01:56 You're brave.
01:57 They were able to neuter him, chip him, vaccinate him. He got to come home with me and this was the
02:06 first time I was able to touch him because he was still kind of sedated. And then I realized how
02:12 small he was. Made a cute little area for him and then that's kind of where his recovery journey
02:21 started. He didn't start eating until the following day after the vet's office. So, day three.
02:32 So, anytime I would toss it away and then he'd turn and he'd look back at me and I'd throw another
02:37 piece. So, I was really able to like recondition him and associate getting that valuable resource,
02:45 food, with my presence. And it took the full strength of my body to get him to eat.
02:52 And then I was able to get him to eat. And then I was able to get him to eat.
02:58 And then I was able to get him to eat. And then I was able to get him to eat.
03:03 And then I was able to get him to eat. And then I was able to get him to eat.
03:05 And then I was able to get him to eat.
03:07 But then it was instant that he allowed me to be near him and trusted me.
03:14 And I was able to like pet him.
03:24 I get the chills talking about it. I was able to like love on him like I wanted to that first night.
03:31 What are you doing? Oh my gosh.
03:36 And then from that moment on, hello Mr. Personality, he just blossomed.
03:43 Once Drew got acclimated and I understood his personality, realized he's going to be fine.
03:51 This dog that was so traumatized is going to be completely fine.
03:55 That's when I felt comfortable that he was ready for adoption.
03:59 Kathleen and Jared are just some of the coolest people.
04:07 We knew as soon as we interviewed them that was Drew's forever family.
