00:00Hi, sweet girl.

00:01As an editor at the Dodo, I see a lot of crazy dog rescues.

00:05Hi, baby.

00:06Sometimes I'm sent footage at the beginning of a dog's story

00:09that makes me nervous for their future.

00:10Are they going to be okay?

00:12Are they going to find a home?

00:13Here are my all-time favorite stories

00:15of dogs who have proved me wrong.

00:16Do you like your pajamas?

00:17First, this is Khaleesi.

00:19She was saved by Mutt-Tea-Paw's rescue

00:21and in a foster home that night.

00:24She couldn't even stand at first.

00:27You can do it.

00:28Her foster parents had to re-teach her how to walk.

00:31All righty, then.

00:33Her foster's rescuers and myself

00:35were really worried that she might never recover.

00:38Let's go, come on.

00:40Come on, let's go.

00:42When a video was sent of her walking up the stairs

00:44for the very first time, I started to have some help.

00:47Oh, yeah, look at you!

00:48Yeah, Khaleesi!

00:50Awesome!

00:51But just wait to see what she looks like now.

00:54The next story that I remember being so nervous about

00:57was Magnolia's.

00:59She was so scared of the shelter,

01:01she wouldn't let anybody take her outside or touch her.

01:04Until Zaharie came along

01:06and dedicated so much time and patience towards her.

01:09She started super slow feeding her chicken through the fence.

01:14Magnolia finally put her head outside the kennel.

01:21Hey, what's up, baby?

01:24What are you doing?

01:26Oh, what's up?

01:28As the days went on, she would slowly come out

01:30and meet Zaharie.

01:31How sweet of her!

01:33Hi, sweetie.

01:35Her first friend.

01:37Yeah!

01:39That's a good girl!

01:41That's a good girl!

01:50This is the first video I got of Oswald

01:52and it broke my heart.

01:55He had a broken leg and he was found in a dumpster

01:58by the police,

01:59who called prayers from Los Adoptibles to go rescue him.

02:06He was in such bad shape

02:09and he was so emotionally dejected.

02:14But I was worried about where he could possibly go from here.

02:18Yes.

02:20And now for where each of their stories take a huge turn.

02:25Khaleesi's big turning point was when she was healthy enough

02:27to meet the resident dog.

02:29They did everything together.

02:31She couldn't stand to play,

02:33so he played with her on the ground at first.

02:37Until she was strong enough to pull him out of bed.

02:43Good job!

02:45What a smart couple doggies I got!

02:47With his help, she became so strong and healthy.

02:51I think she can lick your face forever.

02:53I think so.

02:54Her foster parents knew that they couldn't let her go

02:57after she became so bonded with their dog.

03:00Oh, wow.

03:01So, they adopted her.

03:03She made it.

03:04She pulled through.

03:05Is that good, Khaleesi?

03:07She became healthy, happy, and loved in a family of her own.

03:12Magnolia's story took a turn

03:14when Sahari was finally able to get her outside.

03:18I love her!

03:20From there, she was able to meet new people

03:23with ease at the shelter.

03:25She is so affectionate.

03:27And she got an adoption application online.

03:30Sahari drove for eight hours to meet her new family,

03:33and she was instantly smitten with them.

03:37She's living the good life of belly rubs

03:39and bedtime snuggles now.

03:44And finally, they came back up with Ospal

03:46after he got admitted to the hospital.

03:48His leg was broken.

03:54But he met a lot of great people at the animal pad

03:57who showed him so much compassion.

03:59What are you doing?

04:00So good.

04:01And he was trying to walk even with his broken leg

04:03by day three.

04:05He found a foster home, and his heart started to heal.

04:12He became besties with his foster siblings,

04:14going on bike rides,

04:18and taking beach trips.

04:20He eventually, unfortunately,

04:21had to get his leg amputated as it wasn't healing properly.

04:24And his fosters decided to adopt him,

04:27making him the second tripod in their pack of dogs.

04:30He fits right in.

04:35Good job!

04:37What a smart couple doggies I got!

04:39Good job, guys!

04:41You're so good.
