00:02 I didn't know anything about this dog.

00:08 And so the only thing that I could do

00:10 is present myself as somebody who is safe.

00:14 Every day for the span of two weeks,

00:19 I would walk in and I would sit down

00:22 and I would feed him his breakfast, lunch,

00:25 and dinner by hand.

00:27 And that's just what we did.

00:28 (gentle music)

00:30 I felt the wound underneath his chin from the zip tie.

00:35 I'm relieved that we caught him,

00:39 but there's so much work that needs to be done.

00:43 I got a call about a dog that had a zip tie

00:52 around his muzzle.

00:54 It's one of those calls that you are like, what?

00:58 In that moment, I knew we have to just go.

01:01 I knew that I needed to explore a different option.

01:14 The next day, we came back out and they reset the traps.

01:27 Pinky Paw's search and rescue

01:29 was the brains behind all of this.

01:32 We watched him circle around this crate.

01:36 He was really smart about it.

01:37 He'd walk past the front of it

01:39 and then come around the back.

01:40 Every moment that he takes a step into the crate,

01:44 like you just hold your breath.

01:45 You just hope that he's gonna take that one extra step.

01:48 Yeah, like it happened, we did it.

01:52 (gentle music)

01:54 It took me two weeks before I introduced him to the crew.

02:07 There was a pivotal moment that happened.

02:17 Did a little like mini nibble on a toy.

02:20 He had zero interest in toys whatsoever.

02:23 And I'm like, that was fun.

02:25 That was a little playful size.

02:27 The last human that touched him

02:39 put a zip tie around his muzzle.

02:42 Beckham's still learning how to be a dog.

02:48 He has the perfect family to teach him how to do that.
