Madelyn found a stray pittie on the way to Christmas dinner and he climbed right into her car! So she brought him to her grandparents' house. We talked to Madelyn about how she took him to PetSmart to pick out a toy, and how she reached out to his new mom to see if he still had it!

00:00Get that out of there, that darn thing.
00:05Look how sweet he is.
00:07He's really sweet.
00:08We're kidding.
00:09We're not giving him to you for Christmas, but we're finding him a home for Christmas.
00:12I was heading to my granny's house for Christmas dinner.
00:16I stopped at a stoplight and there was a dog walking out into the busy street and he walked
00:23over my console and went in the back and just like laid down.
00:26He's a good boy.
00:27He got picked up by his Uber.
00:28He was waiting for me.
00:30He was so dirty that we couldn't let him in at that point.
00:34He was so sad.
00:35He just was in the corner like with his head down.
00:38Is he crying?
00:39No, I think he's falling asleep.
00:42He's trying not to.
00:45And so we kept going outside and sitting with him.
00:49He was so excited.
00:50Every time we'd go out there, he'd come and sit on our lap.
00:52I think he was just thankful that he was not on the road anymore.
00:56And then we went out and we gave him a bath and he literally just stood there the whole
01:01time.
01:02Good job.
01:03That was really good actually.
01:04He just was like, all right, like this is probably for my best interest.
01:08Good boy.
01:09Good boy.
01:10Come on.
01:11Good boy.
01:12Good job.
01:13He just like laid down and like passed out.
01:21You could tell he was just so tired.
01:26It only took like a day maybe for him to like want to play and like show us his personality.
01:34I think he just knew that he was in a safe place.
01:43He got his shots and everything and I was like, well, you deserve to go pick out a toy
01:47at PetSmart.
01:48Look at all these toys.
01:49You want that one?
01:54He was ready to go.
01:58He picked out his Gator.
01:59That's what he wanted.
02:00You want your toy?
02:01We came home with the Gator and showed my brother and he was like so excited about it,
02:07just running around the room with his alligator.
02:09Is that a toy?
02:16He's just always so silly.
02:18He's so sweet. He like knocks you over with his kisses.
02:24He's very powerful with his love.
02:31My mom loved him.
02:32I've never seen my mom act that way with a dog.
02:36He would dance with my mom in the kitchen.
02:38And he like genuinely, I think, enjoyed it too.
02:42But she had just lost one of our other dogs.
02:44So it was just like not the right time for us.
02:48Do you like it?
02:50Do you want to start the fire?
02:52I was just trying to find him a home.
02:54I had a friend who said her sister was interested.
02:56And so she came over and it was just like love at first sight.
03:01And it was just like a really good match.
03:06So then they moved to New York City.
03:08Okay, have fun.
03:11It was really hard to let him go.
03:13But it soothes any pain you might have to know
03:16that like you made the right choice for them.
03:19Baby's first ocean.
03:21He goes everywhere they go.
03:22He's probably living a better life than me.
03:25I messaged Macy asking if Gus still had his gator.
03:30And she was like, of course.
03:33And sent me a picture.
03:34You can tell it's been well loved.
03:37We FaceTimed last night and he was there with his alligator.
03:43That's like a piece of me that I gave to him.
03:47And I hope that like he still remembers me
03:50and the time that we shared.
03:51And like, that means something to him
03:53because we all loved him so much.
03:59He's so excited.
