Transcript

00:00 She lost so much weight that she looked like a skeleton.

00:05 You could see every rib, every vertebrae.

00:09 People had banged her legs.

00:11 Okay, I'll give you attention. Right.

00:14 I know, I know. You ready?

00:18 It didn't matter how much we had hurt.

00:22 Harlow was deteriorating before our eyes.

00:26 She ran multiple tests, but all of her tests were actually showing up perfect.

00:33 She just continued to lose weight.

00:37 We really couldn't figure out what was happening.

00:40 We felt helpless.

00:43 Despite all that Harlow was going through, she never lost her spark.

00:49 What are you doing?

00:53 What's that? They're for you.

00:58 Oh, sweet girl.

01:01 You got your turtle.

01:03 As long as she had that light in her eyes, hello, and that wag in her tail.

01:09 Your little tail wagging?

01:12 We were not going to give up on her.

01:15 I'm going to get you a better window, you little sweet girl.

01:19 Eventually, things got to a point where she became so incredibly ill.

01:27 She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't drink.

01:30 No.

01:31 We ended up having to go into emergency on average two to three times a week.

01:37 Joy had kind of left her eyes.

01:41 That Friday evening, we thought, we can't let her suffer.

01:45 We wrote a bucket list, and we're going to do all the things that she loves over the weekend.

01:51 Then on that Monday, we were going to make that appointment to end her suffering.

01:59 On the Saturday morning, we got a call from Dr. Amy.

02:03 Amy suggested that Harlow might be among the rare number of dogs that has an allergic life reaction to animal proteins.

02:12 She suggested that we try this vegetarian diet.

02:19 As soon as we offered her this food, we had been trying to get her to eat for weeks, but she ate it straight away.

02:30 No jumpies. Good girl.

02:32 All of a sudden, her symptoms stopped.

02:35 Her eyes lit up.

02:37 That wag in her tail came back.

02:40 Could I have?

02:42 She goes, no.

02:45 That spark came back.

02:48 You're so strong. Look at you.

02:51 Look at you jumping up and down.

02:53 We couldn't believe it. We were just in tears of relief and joy.

02:58 She continued to put that weight on.

03:01 We were having huge celebrations.

03:04 Oh, what a big dog.

03:06 Oh, look at that.

03:11 Harlow went from being a dog on death's door to gaining her zest for life back.

03:19 We are just so grateful of the amazing veterinary team.

03:25 She can run along the beach.

03:27 She can walk out on trails.

03:30 To see her out there living her best life is just really the most heartwarming thing for us.

03:37 [Music]
