00:00This couldn't be a worse situation for a husky.

00:09Being left alone with no exercise, this could eventually get physical. He could eventually get

00:16aggressive. We've been getting email after email about this dog that's been kept in a backyard.

00:22The neighbor is the person who's been emailing us about this dog. I apologize right up front,

00:27this might be very emotional for me. This has been such a long, long haul. I bet. Thank you for

00:33continuing to reach out to us. The only reason this dog is even eating is because the neighbor

00:39is feeding the dog through the fence. I wasn't really sure if he was aggressive at first,

00:43but I did quickly realize that he was just excited for someone to give him some attention.

00:48It took a lot of back and forth, but we somehow convinced his owners to let us

00:51rescue him. He didn't know how to process it. Now you can imagine a dog like this who's confined

00:59to that one area, right in front of your house isn't going to be the most fascinating part for

01:04the dog, right? But to him, this is like a whole new world here. Look how happy he is to be out.

01:12I know, he just can't contain himself. He can't believe it. We made a stop at the groomers,

01:20then the vet, and then he also spent a couple of weeks at a training facility so he could get used

01:24to the other dogs. Some of my own dogs were there for a few days too, so they could get to know each

01:29other. He met the rest of the pack when we got home, and there was a lot of excitement. I don't

01:33think he'd ever been on a bed before, but he settled right in. My favorite thing is watching

01:37him run free without any boundaries, which he now finally gets to do every single day.

01:42Come on. Come on, Joey. Come on, Joey.
