00:00I'm right here.

00:02Yay!

00:04She was found just wandering the streets.

00:08The people that had originally adopted her were nowhere to be found.

00:12When we first saw her up close, it was heartbreaking.

00:17We weren't really prepared for the neglect that was quite obvious

00:21based on how crusted over her eyes were, based on her skin condition.

00:26I got you. I got you. I got you. I got you.

00:32Since Bailey is blind and partially deaf,

00:35we really had to learn how to communicate with her

00:38in a way that is different from most of our other dogs.

00:43Maybe she can't hear us. Maybe if you smell my fingers.

00:49We have to use a lot of gentle touch to, first of all, just let her know that we're there.

00:55And then as soon as she realizes that a human is there, she gets very happy.

00:59And we have to just steer her.

01:02She inevitably does kind of bump into things, but it doesn't really seem to bother her.

01:08We weren't expecting her to be as trusting and as happy.

01:17Based on the condition, we thought she would have been a lot more shy and timid

01:22since she clearly hadn't been treated well by humans, but she was so friendly.

01:26Her tail was nonstop wagging.

01:35Because she was left outside for however many years,

01:41she has to wear pajamas to protect her skin from the sun.

01:53Here she is, sleeping on the bed.

01:57And she got up all by herself.

02:00She just seemed really sweet, really nice.

02:03She just needed a place to stay.

02:05Come on. Let's go. A few more stairs.

02:09So I jumped at the opportunity.

02:12There we go.

02:16The dodo was really moved by Bailey's story.

02:20And they sent us on a shopping spree to pick out some new jammies.

02:28We led her to the clothing section.

02:44We found a nice, perfectly fitted USC jammy.

02:50I think she would do really well with a family that had another dog,

02:55because I think she does want to play.

02:57Someone with a nice big backyard that she could explore, especially being blind.

03:03If she could just be let out in the backyard, just to wander around and chill all day,

03:07I think she'd love that.

03:09She's just a really chill and relaxed dog.

03:19She's just such a good person.
