00:00We were camping in the desert and found Choya.
00:04Millie, come here, come here, come here.
00:05Millie, we don't know what's going on.
00:07He's so little.
00:09Babe!
00:11Oh, he's sweet.
00:13He was extremely nervous.
00:17We gave him eggs.
00:21Now we're searching for the rest of the puppies
00:23because we think that they're out here in the desert.
00:25Oh!
00:28Ready?
00:31We decided to let him sleep in our van that night
00:33because we couldn't just leave a stray puppy
00:35alone out in the cactus.
00:39I've been up most of the night
00:41just staring at this puppy.
00:51He was like quivering under this bench,
00:53so terrified of everything.
00:56Oh, Tori, he really likes you.
01:06He's wagging his tail.
01:08Oh my god.
01:12Oh my god.
01:14That's so cute.
01:22All the other people already had dogs,
01:25so we were really the only option in the group to foster.
01:27We weren't going to leave a puppy out,
01:29so we fostered him.
01:31He got comfortable with us,
01:33but he was still afraid of all these new things.
01:39Yeah, good boy.
01:51Good dog.
01:54Good dog.
01:56Yay!
02:04Slowly, he became this really quirky, spunky puppy.
02:10Eat your broccoli.
02:12Eat your broccoli.
02:16He was friends with everybody.
02:20He was like the star of the show,
02:23That exposure helped him really open up
02:27and become less afraid of things.
02:35Good boy.
02:37Good boy.
02:39Good job.
02:42One, two, three.
02:52Our bond with him grew so much
02:54through traveling together in Mexico.
02:56It's like he chose us.
03:04He had no intention of getting a dog in Mexico,
03:06but through time, he became part of our family
03:08and it just felt like an impossible idea
03:11to let him go.
03:17Are you an explorer boy?
03:19Troy, come here.
03:23Oh gosh. Oh goodness.
03:27He demanded to come in here
03:29and then just exit like that.
03:33Hi baby.
03:35I could not imagine our lives without him at this point.
03:37He is our perfect dog.
03:40He is just the quirkiest, funniest little guy.
03:46I'm just so excited to continue traveling with him
03:48and have the best time with him.
