00:00 She really just wanted to hide.

00:02 She would cower under the dog bed.

00:06 She couldn't relax.

00:13 She would watch every movement we made

00:16 with this look of fear and anxiety.

00:19 This is Chips Ahoy.

00:21 She's my foster dog.

00:25 I'm bribing her with peanut butter.

00:27 Hey, Chips.

00:30 (gentle music)

00:32 Are we friends?

00:36 No, we're not.

00:37 We're not friends.

00:38 Wouldn't eat anything.

00:40 Wouldn't let us come near her without recoiling

00:43 or trying to find another place to hide.

00:46 She was just too scared to engage at all.

00:49 I think Chips was really scared

00:51 because of how much kept changing around her

00:53 all of the time.

00:54 I put some peanut butter in a toy

00:57 to see if she would like it.

01:00 (gentle music)

01:01 She loves it.

01:02 She loves it.

01:06 Oh, I scared her.

01:09 We're good.

01:13 She loves it.

01:15 Oh.

01:16 We wanted so badly to love her,

01:18 but understood this was going to take time

01:20 in order for her to trust us.

01:22 (Chips barks)

01:28 Do you like it?

01:29 My husband, Brendan, would just sit with her

01:34 and pet her for 20, 30, sometimes 40 minutes.

01:38 Slowly, she saw Brendan as her protector.

01:45 She would sit at his feet for hours

01:47 while he worked from home.

01:49 And whenever Brendan got up,

01:50 she went right there with him.

01:52 She became attached to Brendan.

01:54 If he went to the bathroom, so did she.

01:57 She had overcome her initial challenges,

01:59 so our work was done.

02:01 It was time for her to go to her forever home

02:03 and start the next chapter of her life.

02:06 We were so excited when we found out

02:08 that someone wanted to adopt her.

02:10 It was heart-wrenching to say goodbye,

02:13 but we were so excited to see her

02:14 get the best possible life.

02:16 Unfortunately, only two days later, she was returned.

02:20 She was quote unquote, "too much work."

02:24 She wasn't too much work at all.

02:26 She really just needed time.

02:28 Oh yeah, you like that peanut butter?

02:31 He has it under your nose!

02:33 She still wasn't playing with toys, but she was relaxing.

02:36 She was able to close her eyes and sleep during the day.

02:41 We also discovered that she loved other dogs.

02:45 She finally began to trust me like she trusted Brendan.

02:51 She loves to steal the socks right off my feet.

02:55 I've gone through so many pairs of socks already,

02:57 but I don't care.

02:57 She can have all the socks in the world that she wants.

03:00 You sitting on my sock?

03:03 There is a completely different energy

03:06 and pet in Chips Ahoy now.

03:09 She is no longer a shy, timid, scared dog,

03:14 and that's so great to see.

03:15 Yeah, there's my girl.

03:20 There's my girl.

03:21 I love your big jump on the couch.

03:23 We said to ourselves that we can't give

03:27 Chips Ahoy to another home.

03:29 Chips Ahoy is ours.

03:31 This is our dog, and we want to adopt her,

03:33 and we want to give her our home.

03:35 I'm just so excited that Chips Ahoy is in our life

03:38 and is a part of our family.

03:40 I've never been prouder to be a failure,

03:44 to be a foster failure.

03:45 So being a failure is the best, in my opinion.

03:49 Give me a big fat F, I'll fail any day

03:52 if it means I get Chips Ahoy.

03:53 Look at that tail going.

03:56 Oh yeah, there you go.

03:58 (laughing)
