00:00 Oh my goodness.

00:02 Somehow just...

00:04 Often she would find herself wedged in the most precarious positions.

00:07 Oh my goodness, Miss Violet.

00:10 So we often had to come and rescue her.

00:12 Where you going, Violet?

00:14 Every three or four minutes, Miss Violet's gone again.

00:17 Miss Violet definitely stood out from the rest of the puppies.

00:23 Miss Violet, along with seven other puppies,

00:28 and their mother, Shadow, were dumped at the local pound.

00:31 So they asked me if we would look after them.

00:34 She would spin around in circles, trying to walk in a straight line.

00:42 Miss Violet!

00:44 We very quickly worked out that she has very, very poor vision,

00:47 that she's completely deaf,

00:49 and had an apparent neurological issue as well.

00:52 Hi. Hi.

00:54 We realised that she needed a lot of extra special care and attention.

00:59 I'm going to look after her.

01:01 Yeah, you've got to look after her.

01:03 Hi, beautiful girl.

01:05 We trained her to learn to trust us and to follow us.

01:09 And was such a determined little puppy.

01:13 By recognising that we're all out to protect her,

01:16 she very quickly just came and followed blindly whenever we would give her signals.

01:20 Come on, Miss Violet.

01:22 Come on, darling. Miss Violet, there we go.

01:25 That gave her a lot of confidence.

01:27 There we go. There we go.

01:29 That's it. Come on. Come on.

01:31 When it came time to learn to swim,

01:34 she just would never take a backwards step.

01:37 Well done! Yay!

01:40 As soon as she felt the water on her front feet,

01:43 she would just continue going, no matter how treacherous the waters were.

01:47 She just had the most determined personality

01:51 to have so much fun and enjoy life.

01:54 She just tried so hard and developed that mental strength and coordination

01:59 that she would sleep a lot more frequent than the rest of her litter.

02:03 Open her eyes, over.

02:05 Anytime, middle of the sun, on the side of the driveway,

02:08 midway through a run with the dogs,

02:11 would just stop, collapse, fall asleep, and then five minutes later,

02:14 jump up, raring to go and have no idea where she is.

02:17 It was hilarious.

02:19 Good girl, good girl.

02:23 With all the extra love and care that Miss Violet was getting,

02:27 she began to really improve.

02:30 She was no longer scared.

02:32 She no longer got lost and wandered off,

02:34 and she could keep up with her pack.

02:37 She is definitely one of our top three fastest dogs on the farm.

02:43 Do you think she's just like every other dog?

02:46 She doesn't see herself any differently.

02:49 She has exceeded all expectations.

02:53 It became quite obvious that the best place for Miss Violet

02:58 was going to be here at the farm.

03:00 Wait till she discovers the winter fireplace in the lounge room.

03:04 That will be your spot.

03:06 We had decided to take on Miss Violet and her sister, Miss Red.

03:11 Oh, look at you two.

03:14 They are just the best of buds now.

03:17 We're just so amazed at how far she's come.

03:21 Good girl.
