00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:07,806
[dogs barking]
2
00:00:14,949 --> 00:00:16,715
[Lizzy] That's what on
the other side of the fence
3
00:00:20,087 --> 00:00:22,221
She's so scared, oh, my God.
4
00:00:23,924 --> 00:00:27,426
So I was headed home
to actually go let
my dogs out.
5
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,763
Oh, [bleep].
6
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:32,664
I happen to like,
look over, you know,
7
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:34,099
check on the building
and I'm like,
8
00:00:34,101 --> 00:00:36,502
"Oh, my God,
there's a dog behind
the fence,"
9
00:00:36,504 --> 00:00:38,937
and in a spot
where we've never had a dog.
10
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:43,609
[Lizzy speaking]
11
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,315
[Orlando speaking]
12
00:00:51,752 --> 00:00:53,619
[Lizzy] God, seriously.
13
00:00:53,621 --> 00:00:56,922
[indistinct chatter]
14
00:00:56,924 --> 00:00:58,323
Usually when people
dump their dogs,
15
00:00:58,325 --> 00:01:01,727
they tie them to the gate
or they tie them down
to a pole,
16
00:01:01,729 --> 00:01:03,262
like a little ways away.
17
00:01:03,363 --> 00:01:07,633
We don't usually see
a dog like behind
that particular area.
18
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:09,201
All right,
I'm gonna go around.
19
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,504
[Orlando speaking]
20
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:13,672
Let's set up kennel.
21
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:15,707
[Lizzy] Orlando
happened to be outside,
22
00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:17,810
and Perry was also there,
23
00:01:17,812 --> 00:01:20,245
so I asked them for some hel
24
00:01:20,347 --> 00:01:22,414
Hi, baby.
25
00:01:22,416 --> 00:01:24,349
Hi.
26
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:25,584
Hi.
27
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:27,453
No idea
how she ended up there.
28
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:30,155
I mean, it's possible
she was running as a stray
29
00:01:30,224 --> 00:01:33,692
and somehow managed
to squeeze her body
back there.
30
00:01:33,694 --> 00:01:35,360
If somebody were to dump her
31
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:39,298
they'd have to either push her
through the small crack
or throw her over,
32
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,933
which I don't really think
that's what happened,
33
00:01:41,034 --> 00:01:42,801
'cause I think
she'd probably be hurt.
34
00:01:44,705 --> 00:01:46,138
[Lizzy] Hi.
35
00:01:47,408 --> 00:01:49,308
Hi, sweetie.
36
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:50,843
Hi. It's okay.
37
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:54,813
[Lizzy speaking]
38
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:56,515
We've got to get
you out of here, okay?
39
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:01,420
Let me put this on you.
40
00:02:01,422 --> 00:02:02,955
I know. I know.
41
00:02:12,133 --> 00:02:13,432
[Lizzy] It's okay.
42
00:02:19,106 --> 00:02:20,205
[whimpering]
43
00:02:20,207 --> 00:02:21,907
[Perry] Hey, hey.
44
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:26,845
Hey. Hey.
45
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,113
Come on, baby.
46
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:29,515
No, it's okay.
47
00:02:29,517 --> 00:02:30,949
I don't want to pull you.
48
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:32,217
Come on.
49
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,821
There you go.
Come on. Come on.
50
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:37,055
Come on.
51
00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:40,058
Come on.
52
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:42,361
-[Perry] You got him?
-[Lizzy] Yeah.
53
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:43,862
Come on, baby.
54
00:02:43,931 --> 00:02:45,964
Come on. Come on.
55
00:02:46,033 --> 00:02:47,599
It's okay.
56
00:02:47,601 --> 00:02:49,101
You're okay.
You're okay.
57
00:02:49,103 --> 00:02:51,303
Come on.
Come on, girl.
58
00:02:51,305 --> 00:02:54,206
Good girl.
Good girl.
59
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:55,941
Oh, sweet girl.
60
00:02:56,043 --> 00:02:57,409
I know it's scary.
61
00:02:57,411 --> 00:02:58,744
I know.
Come on, baby.
62
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,213
Yeah, good girl!
63
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:02,380
She's pretty scared.
64
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:05,117
So we need to let
her decompress,
and, you know,
65
00:03:05,119 --> 00:03:07,019
as she becomes
more comfortable with us,
66
00:03:07,021 --> 00:03:09,221
we can really
kind of look at her,
67
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:10,922
take the harness off,
68
00:03:10,924 --> 00:03:14,326
and I'm just hoping
we get some answers
as to how she ended up
69
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:16,828
where she did
and if somebody's looking
for her.
70
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:19,298
I don't think
she has a microchip
because these...
71
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:20,732
these are supposed
to be able to like,
72
00:03:20,834 --> 00:03:23,502
pick it up from a distance
and it should be able to
pick it up
73
00:03:23,504 --> 00:03:25,037
through the harness, too.
74
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,406
[Lizzy] We do post pictures
on social media.
75
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:29,041
We check all the lost
and found pages.
76
00:03:29,142 --> 00:03:30,742
We check the Next door app.
77
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:32,611
We check everything
we possibly can
78
00:03:32,613 --> 00:03:36,048
when they don't have a chip
and we do post them to our
Facebook page.
79
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:40,552
So we just have to hope
that, um,
80
00:03:40,621 --> 00:03:43,822
this wasn't like a dump job
and there, you know,
81
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,924
maybe she got loose
or something happened
82
00:03:45,926 --> 00:03:47,526
and somebody's looking
for her.
83
00:03:47,528 --> 00:03:49,094
So crazy, isn't it?
84
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:50,662
-[Perry] Dude, yeah.
-Like how?
85
00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:53,198
I'm wondering
if she wedged herself
86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,267
there rather than like
walking through.
87
00:03:55,269 --> 00:03:56,835
Right.
88
00:03:56,837 --> 00:03:58,737
-So I feel like the dogs
would have went nuts.
-[Perry] Yeah. Oh, yeah.
89
00:03:58,806 --> 00:04:00,539
If she was walking
past anybody, yeah,
90
00:04:00,641 --> 00:04:02,407
-they would have been
going crazy.
-[Lizzy] Just so weird.
91
00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:03,742
We do have cameras
on the building
92
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:05,744
and we are definitely
going to check
the camera footage
93
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:08,146
because we want to find out
what happened.
94
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:09,715
[Lizzy] It is really bizarre
95
00:04:14,121 --> 00:04:17,623
[instrumental music playing]
96
00:04:17,625 --> 00:04:20,859
[dogs barking]
97
00:04:20,928 --> 00:04:22,227
Hey!
98
00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:25,897
[Lizzy] Good morning, Kim.
How are you?
99
00:04:25,899 --> 00:04:28,834
I'm fine, Lizzy.
How have you been?
100
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:31,937
[Lizzy] The pandemic
has been really hard
on the adoption process.
101
00:04:32,006 --> 00:04:33,604
I've been great.
102
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:37,042
One of the positive outcomes
is that we've been able to do
video calls
103
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:39,211
with potential adopters.
104
00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:42,414
Okay, so I just wanted
to talk more about Ben.
105
00:04:42,416 --> 00:04:46,652
Somebody had found Ben
as a stray wandering
around New Orleans.
106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,956
We had already been suspecti
that he was probably deaf.
107
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:52,157
[Lizzy] Ben.
108
00:04:57,031 --> 00:04:58,163
Ben.
109
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,431
Ben.
110
00:04:59,433 --> 00:05:00,932
[doctor] We have
these tiny electrodes,
111
00:05:01,001 --> 00:05:03,135
they're almost like
acupuncture needles.
112
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:07,406
[Lizzy] We're lucky enough
to have a doctor do like
a fancy hearing test...
113
00:05:07,408 --> 00:05:09,308
[doctor] This is not
the pattern we're expecting.
114
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:11,410
So he is deaf in both ears.
115
00:05:11,412 --> 00:05:12,844
[Lizzy] Deaf in both ears.
Deaf then.
116
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:14,513
[Mariah] Wow!
117
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:17,149
[Lizzy]
...and confirm our thoughts
that he is in fact, deaf.
118
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:19,718
He already knows how to sit.
That's a good first step.
119
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,020
He fits a lot of
what people are looking for
120
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:24,623
He is so outgoing
and friendly,
121
00:05:24,625 --> 00:05:27,459
he's perfect in the car
so you can take him places.
122
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:28,994
He's a quick learner.
123
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:30,962
-And I'll try to do it
from all the way over there.
-Give your hand.
124
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:33,498
[Lizzy] And he's so eager
to learn, too.
125
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,500
Oh! Good boy!
126
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:37,703
But the one thing always
comes down to,
127
00:05:37,705 --> 00:05:41,206
"Well, I'm not really sure
that I'm equipped
for a deaf dog."
128
00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:44,943
So to get an application
from two people,
129
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:49,414
like we did with Kim and Daw
who only wanted Ben,
130
00:05:49,416 --> 00:05:52,351
only had eyes for Ben
was pretty incredible.
131
00:05:52,452 --> 00:05:54,052
I remember getting
the application
and I was like,
132
00:05:54,054 --> 00:05:57,222
"Oh, my God,
calling this right now."
133
00:05:57,224 --> 00:05:59,925
What made you
put in an application for Ben?
134
00:05:59,927 --> 00:06:01,626
How did you come across him?
135
00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:03,528
I had been looking.
136
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:05,564
She had been
looking separately.
137
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:07,899
Dawn and I, we had
a previous dog, Rider.
138
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:11,002
He was a Jack Russell Terrie
139
00:06:11,004 --> 00:06:14,740
We, for a long time,
140
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:18,443
just mourned over him
because he was just
a great dog.
141
00:06:18,512 --> 00:06:20,712
Then one day we got
into discussion
142
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:24,249
about getting another dog
and having to fence
in the yard,
143
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:28,987
and we found out
that we were both looking,
actually.
144
00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:31,323
She happen to see Ben online
145
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:34,659
She yelled at me.
She says, "Honey,
146
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:37,195
you got to come here
and look at this."
147
00:06:37,197 --> 00:06:40,899
She showed me his picture
and he's cute as can be.
148
00:06:40,901 --> 00:06:44,403
And then she showed me
his name.
149
00:06:44,405 --> 00:06:46,738
To give you
a little background,
150
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:51,543
my parents were deaf,
my dad's name was Ben.
151
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:54,312
She only showed me
his picture once
and read the bio,
152
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:58,049
and I just...
just fell in love with him.
153
00:06:58,151 --> 00:07:00,952
Oh, that is so sweet.
I love that.
154
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:05,390
We don't usually
get applications for dogs
that are deaf.
155
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:07,259
A lot of people consider
that a special need,
156
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,629
and they get worried
about if they have
the ability
157
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:12,130
to take something
like that on.
158
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:13,999
When we found out
that he was deaf, we're like,
159
00:07:14,001 --> 00:07:16,635
"Oh, boy,
this could make things
even harder on him."
160
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,804
So we were worried
that he was going to be here,
161
00:07:18,806 --> 00:07:20,806
you know,
a long time because of that.
162
00:07:20,808 --> 00:07:22,240
Um, it just...
163
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:25,243
it seems like you guys
already feel connected to him.
164
00:07:25,345 --> 00:07:26,711
We do.
165
00:07:26,713 --> 00:07:28,814
- Just fell in love with him
so...
-Aw.
166
00:07:28,816 --> 00:07:30,248
[Kim] Good.
167
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:33,852
The reason
why they are so perfect
for Ben is they don't see him=
168
00:07:33,921 --> 00:07:36,421
being deaf as like an "issue".
169
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:39,758
They see that as part of
what makes Ben special.
170
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,426
And I just love
that about them.
171
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:44,463
And if you guys have any
questions or need anything,
172
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:47,032
you know,
of course you can reach out
to me any time.
173
00:07:47,034 --> 00:07:50,502
Now that we decided
to move forward
with an adoption
174
00:07:50,504 --> 00:07:52,804
and we have to get Ben
into the vet for
a final checkup
175
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,340
and we have to do
some training with him.
176
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:58,543
All right, then.
Well, I'll let you go and, um,
177
00:07:58,612 --> 00:08:00,345
I guess
I'll be talking to you soon.
178
00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:01,947
They haven't met Ben yet,
179
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:05,116
so there's always
that possibility that maybe
he gets there
180
00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:07,118
and they're just not feelin
the connection,
181
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,954
but I'm hopeful about it.
182
00:08:09,022 --> 00:08:10,555
- Okay, thank you, Lizzy.
-[Lizzy] All right.
183
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:12,824
-[Kim] Appreciate it.
-Yeah, take care.
184
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:15,026
-[Kim] All right. Bye.
-[Lizzy] All right. Bye-bye.
185
00:08:18,398 --> 00:08:21,633
[instrumental music playing]
186
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:29,441
[Tia] Today,
I'm at the new building
in New Orleans,
187
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:32,143
checking on the progress
of construction
188
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:34,412
and getting things settled i
189
00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:36,014
Oh, yeah,
some of the heavy duty
kennels.
190
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,215
-Those are the big ones.
-Okay.
191
00:08:37,217 --> 00:08:38,349
[indistinct chatter]
192
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,852
This is quite a big project
that we've taken on,
193
00:08:40,921 --> 00:08:43,455
but it's going to be well
worth it.
194
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:46,024
It just looks like a,
like a little miniature city
195
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:50,962
Villalobos has come to a place
where we kind of had
to regroup.
196
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:54,499
Oh, yeah, made it.
Welcome to our home.
197
00:08:54,501 --> 00:08:55,834
[Tia] When we moved
to Louisiana,
198
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,936
we knew it was going to be
tough,
199
00:08:57,938 --> 00:08:59,905
and we just jumped in,
both feet.
200
00:09:04,478 --> 00:09:06,210
While I was in California,
201
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:11,316
my kids emptied out
the entire building of all
the trash and garbage.
202
00:09:11,318 --> 00:09:14,152
The place had been
abandoned for years.
203
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:15,520
Wow!
204
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:17,322
No, it looks really cute.
205
00:09:17,324 --> 00:09:18,723
Looks really cute.
206
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:22,961
We've pretty much been
in 911 mode ever since.
207
00:09:24,631 --> 00:09:26,898
[Tia] Oh, my God.
It's pretty bad.
208
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,633
Oh, no, no, no.
209
00:09:30,637 --> 00:09:34,205
Rescue dogs, you know,
get them healthy,
get them homes.
210
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:37,742
Repeat, repeat, repeat,
repeat, over and over.
211
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:40,412
The warehouse was like,
it was our home,
212
00:09:40,414 --> 00:09:43,548
but the flooding,
the flooding, the flooding,
213
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:45,417
the leaking,
the leaking, the leaking.
214
00:09:45,419 --> 00:09:47,719
This kennel is full of water.
215
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:49,120
[Tia] It's falling apart,
216
00:09:49,122 --> 00:09:50,956
like pieces
are falling off of it.
217
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:53,658
It got to the point
where we were just
maintaining...
218
00:09:53,727 --> 00:09:55,260
This is the worst part for us.
219
00:09:55,362 --> 00:09:56,428
Like this section,
all those...
220
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:57,696
you saw about the holes are.
221
00:09:57,698 --> 00:09:59,664
[Tia] ...the new building
to start,
222
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:04,302
but I can say
that there are some changes
coming to Villalobos.
223
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:05,937
I don't know
what all of them are yet,
224
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,238
but I feel they're coming.
225
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,510
[Tia] We're going to have
to put those pans up,
226
00:10:12,512 --> 00:10:14,112
we got to tack the pans
to the back
227
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,014
how we were supposed to do.
228
00:10:16,016 --> 00:10:20,652
I think what I like most
about the new location
is the way I have it set up
229
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,220
Let's face it,
230
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:24,055
we all know
what the traditional
animal shelter is like,
231
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,958
rows of cages, barking dogs.
232
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,460
Let's face it,
it's very stressful.
233
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:30,528
The old Villalobos
was no different.
234
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:32,797
So with this new building,
you know,
235
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,600
it just makes it
more structured.
236
00:10:35,602 --> 00:10:39,337
The dogs come out
in small groups.
237
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:42,507
It's quieter,
it's just more organized.
238
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:48,546
And already the employees
are saying it is hugely
different than the old system.
239
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,516
They're loving it
because it gives them
so much more control because,
240
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:53,485
like all the dogs
are taking their naps
right now,
241
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:55,186
so they're not raging.
242
00:10:57,524 --> 00:11:00,959
The new location
in New Orleans is just
probably half a mile away
243
00:11:01,061 --> 00:11:02,861
from the current location.
244
00:11:02,929 --> 00:11:06,398
We've moved a good chunk
of the dogs over.
245
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,300
You know, we didn't want
to move everything
over at one time
246
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:12,103
because it becomes too
stressful for the dogs.
247
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,506
Um, Lizzy wants me
to build outside kennels
248
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:17,308
because there are some dogs
that don't want to be inside
249
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:20,478
It's getting there.
Like, when everything
gets decorated, oh, my God,
250
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,613
it's gonna be great.
251
00:11:21,615 --> 00:11:23,148
Everybody's moved
at one point in their life,
252
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:25,216
so they understand exactly
what I'm talking about.
253
00:11:25,218 --> 00:11:28,119
Try doing it with couple
hundred dogs, you know.
254
00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:31,222
So, um,
it's going to take a minute.
255
00:11:31,224 --> 00:11:34,526
Okay, well, I'll be here
if you need anything.
256
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:37,429
It looks great,
smells great, too.
257
00:11:37,431 --> 00:11:39,264
[dog barking]
258
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:46,304
[cheerful music playing]
259
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:47,839
[Lizzy] Come.
260
00:11:47,908 --> 00:11:49,507
Remember? No!
261
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:51,409
Geez, you don't have that.
262
00:11:51,411 --> 00:11:54,345
Today, I'm gonna meet up
with Earl to do
263
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:57,315
some work with Ben
and training before he leave
264
00:11:57,317 --> 00:11:59,384
-Hey, Earl.
-What's up, Liz?
265
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:02,754
[Lizzy] I'm going to show Ea
what Ben and I have been
working on,
266
00:12:02,856 --> 00:12:05,256
and I think it'll just make it
easier for Earl,
267
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:07,926
uh, to communicate
with Ben on the trip,
268
00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:09,427
since Ben can't hear.
269
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:13,965
We're just trying
some enrichment
and some training.
270
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:15,600
He is very food motivated,
271
00:12:15,602 --> 00:12:19,237
so it actually makes it,
makes it a lot easier.
272
00:12:19,306 --> 00:12:20,805
[Earl] Right.
273
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:23,041
[Lizzy]
It's always a little trickier
with a dog that can't hear.
274
00:12:23,143 --> 00:12:24,509
-[Earl] Right, right.
-So, smelling--
275
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:26,511
-[Earl] You've been
trying to sip the dog.
-[Lizzy] Yeah.
276
00:12:26,513 --> 00:12:29,547
With Ben,
since he can't hear...
277
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:32,250
-Yeah. Good boy.
-That's good.
278
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:35,587
...I basically started just
kind of luring him into a sip.
279
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:38,156
I'm just kind of holding
the treat up.
280
00:12:38,225 --> 00:12:40,024
Let's see if I can get him
to do it without the...
281
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:44,429
Oh! Yeah! He got it!
282
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:46,231
He got it with the treat.
283
00:12:46,233 --> 00:12:48,700
Eventually,
I'm able to kind of not have
the treat in my hand
284
00:12:48,702 --> 00:12:52,103
and just
kind of hand signal him
to where he's sitting.
285
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:53,605
[Earl] He's a real smart boy.
286
00:12:53,607 --> 00:12:55,340
[Lizzy] Yeah, he's good.
287
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:56,808
He's good.
He's a good boy.
288
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:58,810
With trying to teach him dow
289
00:12:58,812 --> 00:13:01,412
he was starting
to slowly get it without
the treat in my hand,
290
00:13:01,414 --> 00:13:03,615
but I still
kind of need to use
the hand motions
291
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:06,651
since he can't hear
and I'm not able to use
a verbal cue with him.
292
00:13:06,753 --> 00:13:08,253
So, hold it up.
Yeah.
293
00:13:10,323 --> 00:13:11,589
Yeah. Perfect.
294
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:13,191
-[Earl] Good boy.
-[Lizzy] Now,
give him the treat.
295
00:13:13,193 --> 00:13:14,959
-[Earl] I want the--
-[Lizzy] Oh,
you want to get...
296
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:16,628
-you want the down?
-[Earl] Yeah, I want the down.
297
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:18,530
[Lizzy] All right.
There you go.
298
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:21,032
Good boy.
Good boy.
299
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:23,601
[Lizzy]
From everything that...
300
00:13:23,603 --> 00:13:25,036
that I've seen and learned,
301
00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:28,439
there isn't necessarily
set hand signals
302
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,041
when it comes
to training deaf dogs.
303
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:31,209
Since he's into it too,
304
00:13:31,211 --> 00:13:32,710
like they could even
have fun with it.
305
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:35,346
They can teach him spin.
306
00:13:35,448 --> 00:13:37,115
-[Earl] Yeah.
-[Lizzy]
At the end of the day,
307
00:13:37,117 --> 00:13:40,218
you have to do what works
for you and your dog.
308
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,953
He's such a quick learner.
309
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:44,122
And it helps
that he's so food motivated.
310
00:13:44,124 --> 00:13:46,658
But also the work
has to be consistent.
311
00:13:46,726 --> 00:13:47,759
Consistent, yeah.
312
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:49,694
It's going to be better
when he goes to a home
313
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:51,462
because they'll be able to
work on it consistently.
314
00:13:51,531 --> 00:13:55,300
All we have to do
now is load him up
and send him on his way.
315
00:13:55,302 --> 00:13:57,902
Oh, Ben.
Oh, Ben boy.
316
00:13:57,904 --> 00:13:59,704
Oh, boy.
317
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:01,306
Oh, Ben, Ben.
318
00:14:03,009 --> 00:14:05,944
[instrumental music playing]
319
00:14:08,114 --> 00:14:09,247
[Mariah] Come here!
320
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:14,953
Here, Athena. Let him
have... Hey, let him have his.
321
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:17,355
Go. Get it.
322
00:14:17,424 --> 00:14:18,890
I have a lot of personal dog
323
00:14:18,892 --> 00:14:22,694
All of them have
different roles in my life.
324
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,395
Here, get it.
325
00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:31,736
Tater was the hardest dog
I've ever had in my life
with his special needs.
326
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:33,938
You ready, bubba?
327
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:36,941
Tater had a slipped disc
a really long time ago.
328
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:39,611
He didn't get full mobility
in one of his back legs,
329
00:14:39,613 --> 00:14:43,314
so he would drag it a lot
and I could just tell it's
starting to affect his spine.
330
00:14:43,316 --> 00:14:45,016
[doctor] Yeah, see,
that is very abnormal.
331
00:14:45,018 --> 00:14:46,050
He should correct that.
332
00:14:46,119 --> 00:14:47,585
[Mariah]
And he does it every day.
333
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:48,753
Come on, buddy.
334
00:14:48,855 --> 00:14:50,788
[Mariah] It was just
this constant battle.
335
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:52,957
Good boy. It's okay.
336
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:57,061
Aside from that, there were
so many other things medical
going on with him.
337
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:59,430
-There he goes.
-[doctor] Atta boy. Good boy.
338
00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:03,601
[Mariah]
My whole life revolved
around taking care of Tater
339
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:04,869
My entire life.
340
00:15:06,206 --> 00:15:10,208
Tater was a dog
that I rescued back
in California.
341
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:12,610
Wow.
Over ten years ago.
342
00:15:12,612 --> 00:15:15,413
He was the calmest dog ever
343
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:17,415
Like, so sweet.
344
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:20,084
And when he became Mariah's,
345
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:24,055
it was like he knew
that she was like
this tiny little thing
346
00:15:24,124 --> 00:15:29,427
because he became extremely
protective over her.
347
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:30,929
I can't...
348
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:33,164
I couldn't even like open
the door to her room
or her house
349
00:15:33,233 --> 00:15:34,599
without him trying to kill m
350
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:36,134
I'm like,
"I'm the one that rescued yo
351
00:15:36,235 --> 00:15:37,702
Why are you trying
to kill me?"
352
00:15:37,704 --> 00:15:39,938
But he became like
that with her.
353
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:42,507
You know, that was his girl
354
00:15:42,509 --> 00:15:46,711
[Mariah sobbing]
355
00:15:46,713 --> 00:15:49,347
[Mariah] Things got really
bad with Tater medically
to the point
356
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,983
where he wasn't living
a good quality of life.
357
00:15:51,985 --> 00:15:54,719
I had to make the decision
and say goodbye to him.
358
00:15:57,023 --> 00:16:01,759
It was the hardest decision
I have ever made
in my entire life.
359
00:16:01,861 --> 00:16:06,030
It was just hard
because Tater still really
thought that he was able to.
360
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:07,799
to do everything
and he wasn't.
361
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:11,302
Tater, I'm gonna get you.
362
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:12,704
[Mariah giggling]
363
00:16:12,706 --> 00:16:13,838
Come on.
364
00:16:15,942 --> 00:16:18,943
Look at you go!
365
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:22,613
I feel like after the amoun
of time that Tater and I
were together,
366
00:16:22,615 --> 00:16:24,549
I didn't know
who I was without him.
367
00:16:24,617 --> 00:16:26,818
I got him when I was 17 or 1
368
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,820
[Mariah giggling]
369
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:31,055
[Mariah] I love you.
370
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:33,257
It's been a weird transition
371
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:38,529
trying to figure that out
and realizing that I relied
on him as much as I did,
372
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:40,331
that we did everything
together.
373
00:16:43,603 --> 00:16:45,003
So for years,
374
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:48,539
I've wanted a motorcycle
with a sidecar for Tater.
375
00:16:48,608 --> 00:16:50,942
He's adventured everywhere
with me.
376
00:16:50,944 --> 00:16:52,610
So what better way
than for me
377
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:55,313
to have my dog
and ride a motorcycle
at the same time?
378
00:16:57,417 --> 00:17:01,419
I've been looking
for a sidecar setup for years
and something that's always...
379
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:03,321
like didn't work out with it.
380
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:06,791
[Moe] Hey! What's up?
How was the trip?
381
00:17:06,793 --> 00:17:08,126
What did you bring back?
382
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:11,529
So there's no ignition,
so we can't start it.
383
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:12,563
Oh, no.
384
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:13,598
[Mariah laughs]
385
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,036
The day after I had to say
goodbye to Tater,
386
00:17:18,038 --> 00:17:22,640
I got a phone call
from someone asking me
if I still wanted a sidecar
387
00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:24,108
Oh, [bleep], I need ramps.
388
00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:25,443
[Mariah giggles]
389
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:27,412
[Moe] Ooh.
390
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:29,947
[Mariah] And if that wasn't
the universe doing something
391
00:17:30,016 --> 00:17:32,016
I feel like that was Tater
just being a turd.
392
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:34,052
Sidecar action.
393
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,953
Is it cool?
394
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:38,456
So I went to Texas
and picked it up.
395
00:17:38,525 --> 00:17:39,757
All right, let's go.
396
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:41,826
I know, I want to go
ride it right now.
397
00:17:41,828 --> 00:17:43,961
I need to figure out
how to start it first.
398
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:45,730
But yeah, I'm gonna
need your help.
399
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:51,035
So what better way
to memorialize my dog
than to build a sidecar
400
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:54,539
and take old dogs
from the rescue
on little trips around town.
401
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,041
I do want to make it
a little bit safer
for the dogs.
402
00:17:57,043 --> 00:17:59,310
And I want to...
I'm going to start with, like,
403
00:17:59,312 --> 00:18:00,344
one of my dogs,
404
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:02,013
with like Athena
or something or Pastor,
405
00:18:02,015 --> 00:18:05,116
because they love
being on the road
and get them comfortable.
406
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,819
I'm not taking any of the dogs
on like long trips.
407
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:10,588
This is literally
just going to be
around town for them.
408
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:11,689
[Moe] Well, fun.
409
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:15,059
It's going to make a good
project here, right here.
410
00:18:15,128 --> 00:18:19,063
[Mariah]
And try and keep it as safe
and calm as possible for the
411
00:18:19,065 --> 00:18:22,033
just to get some sort of jo
and happiness, you know?
412
00:18:22,035 --> 00:18:24,268
-[Moe] Yeah.
-We have
some restoration to do.
413
00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:27,238
It's a little haggard.
414
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:29,540
So this thing hadn't been
running in over ten years.
415
00:18:29,642 --> 00:18:32,743
So obviously there are things
that I'm going to have
to work on.
416
00:18:34,514 --> 00:18:36,414
We pretty much need
to clean out everything.
417
00:18:36,416 --> 00:18:39,016
[Moe] You know,
just leave the key in it.
418
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:40,585
Yeah.
419
00:18:40,587 --> 00:18:42,220
[Mariah]
I don't have the key for it
420
00:18:42,222 --> 00:18:44,322
so I have to order
a new ignition,
421
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:45,656
we have to order
new carburetors,
422
00:18:45,758 --> 00:18:47,225
put all new hoses.
423
00:18:47,227 --> 00:18:49,093
[Mariah grunts]
424
00:18:49,095 --> 00:18:52,663
We need to actually
get all the parts ordered
that we need
425
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:54,499
and get this thing running.
426
00:18:54,501 --> 00:18:56,434
-Okay, bye.
-[Mariah] Bye!
Love you. Thank you.
427
00:18:56,503 --> 00:18:58,336
-Love you too!
-[Mariah]
But it'll be worth it.
428
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:09,213
[instrumental music playing]
429
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:12,049
[Lizzy speaking]
430
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:21,859
Perry and I rescued
a really sweet dog
about a week ago.
431
00:19:21,961 --> 00:19:23,261
Let me put this on you.
432
00:19:24,364 --> 00:19:26,364
I know.
I know.
433
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:27,665
She just looked terrified.
434
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:29,233
I mean,
she was frozen in fear,
435
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:30,434
she wasn't even moving.
436
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,637
I decided to call her Mystic
437
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:34,371
Just felt right,
438
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:38,643
just given the circumstances
of not knowing how she
ended up where she was.
439
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:40,111
We tried to watch cameras.
440
00:19:40,113 --> 00:19:41,546
That gave us no answer,
441
00:19:41,614 --> 00:19:44,549
which means she probably
came in from an area
442
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:46,617
that we didn't have
a camera on.
443
00:19:46,619 --> 00:19:49,620
[Lizzy speaking]
444
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:52,690
Unfortunately,
Mystic does not have
a microchip.
445
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:54,559
We checked lost
and found pages.
446
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:59,530
We actually posted her as well
on our Facebook page,
and nothing.
447
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:02,033
There's nobody.
Nobody is looking for her.
448
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:04,802
[Lizzy speaking]
449
00:20:10,643 --> 00:20:12,810
I gave her a minute
to kind of just see
450
00:20:12,812 --> 00:20:15,846
if she wanted to interact
with me, and she did.
451
00:20:15,915 --> 00:20:19,617
[Lizzy speaking]
452
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,119
She came over
and she wanted to be pet,
453
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:24,222
and she put her little paws
in my lap and I was like,
454
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:25,756
"Okay, you're getting
more comfortable."
455
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:28,759
[Lizzy speaking]
456
00:20:28,828 --> 00:20:30,294
We're making progress.
457
00:20:30,296 --> 00:20:33,831
And I knew that
based on her body language
and her approaching me,
458
00:20:33,833 --> 00:20:37,034
that it was safe to kind of
do some things with her.
459
00:20:37,103 --> 00:20:38,402
[Lizzy speaking]
460
00:20:42,008 --> 00:20:43,708
I think Mystic
is very adoptable.
461
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:48,112
I'm so hopeful that
she'll be able
to find a great home.
462
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:49,914
She's a really sweet girl.
463
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:55,253
She's really smart,
and she's another one that
really likes to learn.
464
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:56,854
[Lizzy speaking]
465
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:07,498
I'm going to continue
to work with Mystic
and prepare her for a home.
466
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,101
And, you know,
we've got to get her
dog tested
467
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:11,702
and all of that good stuff.
468
00:21:13,339 --> 00:21:16,807
I'm very confident
she'll be ready
for a home soon.
469
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,021
[Moe] What's up, dude?
470
00:21:31,391 --> 00:21:32,523
What is that?
471
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:34,625
-The ignition.
-Oh, no.
472
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:36,727
Moe and I are really,
really close,
473
00:21:36,729 --> 00:21:39,263
and our bonding time
is sitting in the shop
474
00:21:39,299 --> 00:21:41,265
and working on motorcycles
and cars together.
475
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:43,601
I just want to try
and get this ignition
on at least.
476
00:21:43,603 --> 00:21:44,702
[Moe] Okay.
477
00:21:44,704 --> 00:21:46,404
So this is a whole
new ballgame for us.
478
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:49,340
And I think
that's why my brother,
one of the reasons,
479
00:21:49,442 --> 00:21:51,409
he's so excited about
the sidecar.
480
00:21:51,411 --> 00:21:55,313
Goddamn, it seems like
a lot of work
when it's not started.
481
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:58,115
'Cause we have never
worked on one before.
482
00:21:58,117 --> 00:21:59,283
So it's a challenge.
483
00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:03,120
It's not as easy to push
around a motorcycle.
484
00:22:03,122 --> 00:22:07,358
I mean, all of them
are a challenge for me
but not for him.
485
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:09,627
So when we push it back
over there,
I'm gonna take this off.
486
00:22:09,629 --> 00:22:11,929
-Okay.
-If I can figure out how.
487
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:14,465
At this point,
Moe and I are just
going down the checklist,
488
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:16,634
trying to get all of these
things checked off
489
00:22:16,703 --> 00:22:19,937
so that we can try
and start it
for the first time.
490
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:21,405
We're not gonna
get it running today,
491
00:22:21,407 --> 00:22:23,307
obviously, 'cause I got
to get a battery in that.
492
00:22:23,309 --> 00:22:25,309
So at least today
is making a plan
493
00:22:25,311 --> 00:22:27,345
and seeing
what has to be done.
494
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:31,716
She originally wanted
the bike for her dog Tater
that passed away.
495
00:22:31,718 --> 00:22:33,951
My friend's mom
has a year-old sidecar
496
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:35,419
and she takes her
German shepherd.
497
00:22:35,421 --> 00:22:38,356
That was one of her
kind of dreams, you know,
498
00:22:38,424 --> 00:22:41,192
take them for a ride
around the city
and everything.
499
00:22:41,194 --> 00:22:43,060
Yeah. Yeah, this thing
can't just be for show.
500
00:22:43,062 --> 00:22:44,228
Look at the threading.
501
00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:45,529
There's nothing left on this.
502
00:22:45,531 --> 00:22:47,598
I'm most excited that,
you know,
503
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,901
she gets to ride it
with the older dogs
and just, you know,
504
00:22:50,903 --> 00:22:53,104
have a good time with it.
505
00:22:53,106 --> 00:22:54,138
Got it.
506
00:22:56,242 --> 00:22:58,309
And seeing the smile
on her face.
507
00:22:58,311 --> 00:22:59,810
I got the right.
508
00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:01,045
No, I have to take that
tire off.
509
00:23:01,114 --> 00:23:02,813
[Mariah] Well, I figured
we should do it back there
510
00:23:02,815 --> 00:23:04,148
'cause it's going to be
sitting, right?
511
00:23:04,217 --> 00:23:06,717
Let's see if the brakes work.
Did that stop at all?
512
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:09,153
-Yeah.
-Okay. Just very slowly.
513
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,522
[Mariah speaking]
514
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:13,924
With Tater passing away
recently, you know,
515
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:17,395
Mariah is still having
a tough time, you know,
516
00:23:17,397 --> 00:23:19,330
getting over it
just pulls off.
517
00:23:19,332 --> 00:23:20,631
Is it connected anywhere
back there?
518
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:21,932
Oh, that's it?
519
00:23:22,034 --> 00:23:23,901
Whoa!
520
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,536
And working on that
motorcycle,
521
00:23:25,638 --> 00:23:29,407
it's a part of the healing
process that she needs to do
522
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:30,841
Yay!
523
00:23:36,315 --> 00:23:37,648
[dogs barking]
524
00:23:37,717 --> 00:23:39,717
[Lizzy] Ben's ready.
525
00:23:39,719 --> 00:23:40,951
Ben said, "Bye, guys.
526
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:43,320
I'm going to a home."
527
00:23:43,322 --> 00:23:45,356
Come, Ben.
Let's go home.
528
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:47,324
Heidi and I both really
love Ben,
529
00:23:47,326 --> 00:23:51,128
so we wanted to be here
with Earl this morning
to load up Ben
530
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:53,030
and say our final goodbyes.
531
00:23:53,032 --> 00:23:55,132
-[Earl] This is it.
This is it.
-[Heidi] All right, Ben.
532
00:23:55,134 --> 00:23:57,701
Somebody has officially
made your bail.
533
00:23:57,703 --> 00:24:00,304
I'm so excited
to say bye to Ben,
which sounds crazy,
534
00:24:00,306 --> 00:24:01,839
because I love him so much.
535
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:04,442
But they're not supposed
to be here with us forever.
536
00:24:04,510 --> 00:24:06,710
This is like
a little stepping stone.
537
00:24:06,712 --> 00:24:09,046
Come on.
Come on. Good boy.
538
00:24:09,148 --> 00:24:10,948
-Good boy.
-Good boy.
539
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:12,550
Are you excited that
you're the one taking him?
540
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:14,351
Oh, yeah.
Always.
541
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,720
Since the adopters
have not met Ben yet,
542
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:19,190
there's always a chance
that a dog gets to a home
543
00:24:19,192 --> 00:24:20,825
when the adopters
haven't met them yet,
544
00:24:20,827 --> 00:24:23,694
and they decide that
it just doesn't feel right.
545
00:24:23,696 --> 00:24:25,429
I love you, Ben.
546
00:24:25,431 --> 00:24:26,730
Do you love me?
547
00:24:26,732 --> 00:24:28,732
-He doesn't care.
-He do. He really do.
548
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:30,935
He knows
you put in work for him.
549
00:24:31,036 --> 00:24:33,103
Well, we about to move out,
man.
550
00:24:33,105 --> 00:24:36,740
I don't want to hold him up
no longer than I have to.
551
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:37,808
Enjoy Ohio.
552
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,510
Bye, Ben.
Love you.
553
00:24:39,512 --> 00:24:42,246
It rarely happens
where we get to a home
554
00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:44,114
and the dog doesn't
get to stay.
555
00:24:44,116 --> 00:24:45,216
But you never know.
556
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:46,951
There's a first time
for everything.
557
00:24:47,052 --> 00:24:48,085
Earl, drive safe.
558
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:49,820
I will.
Thank you.
559
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:50,955
Let me know how it goes.
560
00:24:51,056 --> 00:24:52,323
I'll write a letter.
561
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,326
There he goes.
562
00:24:56,629 --> 00:24:58,062
Bye, Ben.
563
00:25:09,542 --> 00:25:11,208
Nope, I need more weight.
564
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:15,746
[Moe speaking]
565
00:25:16,415 --> 00:25:17,714
I got it.
566
00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:19,416
I don't remember
who came up
with the name
567
00:25:19,418 --> 00:25:22,119
for the sidecar,
but it is perfect.
568
00:25:22,121 --> 00:25:25,022
We're gonna call it
The Spud Bucket for Tater.
569
00:25:27,460 --> 00:25:29,627
So this thing has a lot
of hours put into it already
570
00:25:29,629 --> 00:25:31,829
and we're not even close
to being done with like
571
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:35,499
our final project
of making it beautiful.
572
00:25:35,501 --> 00:25:37,401
Yeah, this doesn't look...
573
00:25:37,403 --> 00:25:38,903
We're definitely
not gonna change that.
574
00:25:38,905 --> 00:25:40,704
-[Moe] Get it.
-Got it?
575
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:43,240
Whoo!
576
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:44,775
How did you get
that inside one?
577
00:25:44,777 --> 00:25:46,109
I can't even.
578
00:25:46,111 --> 00:25:48,379
Hopefully, this is mine
and Moe's like final day
579
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:51,215
for any of the huge parts
aside from cosmetic.
580
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,651
So this probably needs
to come out
or whatever to meet that.
581
00:25:53,653 --> 00:25:55,319
And then this goes over here.
582
00:25:55,321 --> 00:25:58,556
I got the new carburetors in,
the clutch
and the brake lever.
583
00:25:58,624 --> 00:25:59,857
Ooh.
584
00:25:59,959 --> 00:26:01,392
Yeah!
585
00:26:01,394 --> 00:26:02,626
[bleep].
586
00:26:03,963 --> 00:26:06,163
He got a bunch of other
stuff that we need for it.
587
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:07,364
Oh, [bleep].
I'm spilling gasoline.
588
00:26:07,433 --> 00:26:09,600
Oh, [bleep].
589
00:26:09,602 --> 00:26:11,735
We have everything
we need at this point.
590
00:26:11,837 --> 00:26:13,904
Well, turn the key.
See what happens.
591
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:15,940
So there should not be
any reason
592
00:26:15,942 --> 00:26:17,408
why this doesn't start.
593
00:26:19,712 --> 00:26:21,045
Is the battery on right?
594
00:26:22,214 --> 00:26:24,014
It's not even fitting in.
What are you doing?
595
00:26:24,016 --> 00:26:25,549
What do you mean
what am I doing?
596
00:26:25,618 --> 00:26:26,951
The batteries...
597
00:26:27,052 --> 00:26:28,652
This was...
The orange was negative.
598
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:30,321
Yeah?
599
00:26:30,323 --> 00:26:33,424
If I've learned anything
about motorcycles,
it's that I know nothing.
600
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:35,059
Oh, come on!
601
00:26:42,702 --> 00:26:43,734
You can flip the switch.
602
00:26:43,836 --> 00:26:45,402
-What switch?
-There it is.
603
00:26:45,404 --> 00:26:46,704
Oh.
604
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:51,542
Do you have the hose back on?
605
00:26:57,450 --> 00:26:58,816
It started!
606
00:26:58,818 --> 00:27:00,818
Kill switch.
607
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:04,421
Moe tried to start it
and the throttle got stuck,
so he just shut it off.
608
00:27:04,423 --> 00:27:06,223
Whoo!
609
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:07,958
But the point is,
is it started.
610
00:27:08,027 --> 00:27:09,059
All right, here we go.
611
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:11,028
Okay, so we just
had that wrong.
612
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:12,630
Are you sure the other
side's good?
613
00:27:12,632 --> 00:27:14,098
-Yeah. Let me see.
Hang on.
-Awesome.
614
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,566
That's how
it always works out.
615
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,101
Once you get it started
and you hear it,
616
00:27:17,103 --> 00:27:19,603
then you have to adjust
everything.
617
00:27:19,605 --> 00:27:21,405
Can we push... You want
to push it out that way?
618
00:27:21,407 --> 00:27:22,906
We knew that everything
was good
619
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:25,743
and we just needed
to adjust carburetors
620
00:27:25,811 --> 00:27:27,645
and the throttle
and a few other things.
621
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,221
Moe got in the sidecar
and I drove it.
622
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:40,624
My face was just stuck.
623
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:47,765
Oh, my God.
624
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,466
I don't know.
625
00:27:49,468 --> 00:27:52,436
I feel like
it's one of the best projects
that I've decided to take on.
626
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:56,106
It's so cool!
627
00:27:58,811 --> 00:28:00,277
The more that
I talk about it,
628
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:02,946
the more I realize
how much it was because
629
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:07,017
it is inviting so many
different aspects of my life
into one thing.
630
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:09,953
I don't know.
It's really special to me.
631
00:28:09,955 --> 00:28:11,455
Hello, little lady.
632
00:28:12,858 --> 00:28:14,525
Now that I know it's running
and even though
633
00:28:14,527 --> 00:28:17,027
it's not ready
for the dogs yet...
634
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:18,162
You wanna smell it first?
635
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:19,763
What is this?
636
00:28:19,765 --> 00:28:22,099
...I can still start workin
with them,
getting in and out
637
00:28:22,101 --> 00:28:23,801
and teaching commands.
638
00:28:23,803 --> 00:28:25,102
Good.
639
00:28:25,104 --> 00:28:26,603
Okay.
Come this way.
640
00:28:26,605 --> 00:28:28,038
You want to try and get in?
641
00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:29,807
What is this?
Smell it.
642
00:28:29,809 --> 00:28:34,211
I want to start with my dog,
Athena just because
I know her so well.
643
00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:35,412
What do you smell?
644
00:28:35,414 --> 00:28:37,548
Right here.
645
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:40,517
She's younger
and she loves doing
training stuff.
646
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:42,519
And she's...
she learns quick.
647
00:28:42,521 --> 00:28:45,556
Come on, come on.
648
00:28:45,624 --> 00:28:46,957
Good girl!
649
00:28:46,959 --> 00:28:48,058
That was fast.
650
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:49,393
You want another treat.
651
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:52,062
People don't realize
how scary that like
652
00:28:52,064 --> 00:28:53,697
starting motorcycle
can be for dogs.
653
00:28:53,699 --> 00:28:55,632
You want to try
and get out and try again?
654
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:58,702
So I just wanted to get
Athena used to the sidecar
first going in and out.
655
00:28:58,704 --> 00:29:00,137
All right. Ready? Come on.
656
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:01,405
Load up.
657
00:29:01,407 --> 00:29:03,507
Load up.
Good girl!
658
00:29:03,509 --> 00:29:06,043
That was so impressive.
659
00:29:06,111 --> 00:29:08,612
But like I figured,
she caught on really quick
660
00:29:08,614 --> 00:29:10,414
to getting in,
getting out of it.
661
00:29:10,416 --> 00:29:11,749
All right.
Load up.
662
00:29:13,185 --> 00:29:15,119
Good job.
Right here.
663
00:29:15,121 --> 00:29:17,621
This is gonna be
a learning process
for me as well.
664
00:29:17,623 --> 00:29:22,059
I need to do some
planning so that
I can go into this perfectly
665
00:29:22,127 --> 00:29:25,129
with all the rest of the dog
that we teach to ride
in the sidecar.
666
00:29:25,131 --> 00:29:26,964
We're definitely gonna
need to do some altering
667
00:29:27,065 --> 00:29:30,100
'cause this is very dangerous
right now for a dog.
668
00:29:30,102 --> 00:29:34,138
I don't think I knew
how emotional this build
would be for me.
669
00:29:34,206 --> 00:29:37,341
I'm not even done
because I need to make
the sidecar more safe
670
00:29:37,409 --> 00:29:39,009
for the dogs, obviously.
671
00:29:39,011 --> 00:29:40,711
Good job.
672
00:29:40,713 --> 00:29:44,948
Until I have this thing
painted and make it
the official Spud Bucket...
673
00:29:45,017 --> 00:29:46,283
You're gonna love this
when we're done.
674
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:47,951
You're gonna love it.
675
00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:49,720
I don't think it's gonna,
like, set in.
676
00:29:49,722 --> 00:29:54,358
But it's definitely a part
of my healing process
with Tater.
677
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:56,460
Like building
a memory of Tater,
678
00:29:56,562 --> 00:29:58,328
obviously,
is the biggest thing, so.
679
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:01,265
I don't know. This turned into
a very emotional build for me.
680
00:30:08,407 --> 00:30:10,607
Jugg.
Jugg.
681
00:30:10,609 --> 00:30:13,210
You're not gonna give me
a kiss in public?
682
00:30:13,212 --> 00:30:16,814
This is Juggernaut.
He is about 3.5 years old.
683
00:30:16,816 --> 00:30:18,448
He is dog friendly.
684
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:20,717
So he's kind of built
for any kind of lifestyle.
685
00:30:20,719 --> 00:30:24,121
He is kid friendly,
although I would definitely
do ten or over
686
00:30:24,123 --> 00:30:25,856
because he is a bigger boy.
687
00:30:25,958 --> 00:30:27,057
He's a lot of fun.
688
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:28,625
He's probably one
of my favorite dogs here.
689
00:30:28,627 --> 00:30:31,061
He's pretty much perfect.
690
00:30:31,129 --> 00:30:33,831
And if you are interested
in adopting Juggernaut
691
00:30:33,833 --> 00:30:37,534
or any other Villalobos dog
or to donate
to Villalobos Rescue Center,
692
00:30:37,603 --> 00:30:40,737
go to
AnimalPlanet.com/PitBulls.
693
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:57,955
Today, we are moving
our cabana
from the old warehouse
694
00:30:57,957 --> 00:30:59,756
to the new warehouse.
695
00:31:05,231 --> 00:31:06,964
I feel like that
cabana's been...
696
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:09,800
It has been such
a staple thing for us.
697
00:31:11,737 --> 00:31:13,604
He's so silly.
698
00:31:13,606 --> 00:31:15,038
He's coming all the way up.
699
00:31:15,107 --> 00:31:16,139
He's coming all the way up.
700
00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:18,308
He wants the biscuit.
701
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:19,610
She just likes attention.
702
00:31:19,612 --> 00:31:20,744
She likes cuddling.
703
00:31:20,813 --> 00:31:23,513
The cabana is used
for meet and greets
704
00:31:23,515 --> 00:31:25,616
and to kind of let the dogs
run around.
705
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:32,623
We've used it to do
baby announcements.
706
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:36,727
We want to award you
with your dog tags off parole.
707
00:31:36,729 --> 00:31:39,963
And to announce
all of our guys
getting off of parole.
708
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:41,498
It's all been
beautiful moments.
709
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:42,966
It's never been anything bad.
710
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:47,104
So I feel like that cabana
just has all of this
happiness in the wood.
711
00:31:47,106 --> 00:31:49,806
There's something special
that always happens in there.
712
00:31:49,808 --> 00:31:53,210
And hopefully,
it'll bring all of that
same joy
713
00:31:53,212 --> 00:31:54,845
with it to the newer house.
714
00:32:04,223 --> 00:32:06,423
All right, Ben,
it's over with for you, boy.
715
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:08,058
I'm about to turn you loose.
716
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:11,261
So today, we're here in Ohio.
717
00:32:11,363 --> 00:32:13,530
And it's for a good cause.
718
00:32:13,532 --> 00:32:16,400
Ben is going
to his forever home.
719
00:32:16,402 --> 00:32:19,336
All right, Ben,
time to get yourself together.
720
00:32:19,405 --> 00:32:23,006
Having a deaf dog
is just like having a dog
that can hear.
721
00:32:23,008 --> 00:32:25,509
They only hear
with their eyes.
722
00:32:25,511 --> 00:32:29,212
We are confident that
they can handle this,
but you never know.
723
00:32:31,917 --> 00:32:34,351
So we still have
our fingers crossed with Ben.
724
00:32:36,221 --> 00:32:37,888
-Hello.
-Hey, Earl.
725
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:39,556
Delivery, delivery.
726
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:41,158
[Kim] Oh,
you brought the mail.
727
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:42,326
Delivery.
728
00:32:42,328 --> 00:32:44,127
Today is just so exciting.
729
00:32:44,129 --> 00:32:45,495
How are you doing?
730
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:47,431
We have been
anxiously waiting.
731
00:32:47,433 --> 00:32:50,701
We've been just going
crazy buying new stuff.
732
00:32:50,703 --> 00:32:52,202
-I'm here.
-Have a seat.
733
00:32:52,204 --> 00:32:53,904
[Earl] Oh, I'd love to.
734
00:32:53,906 --> 00:32:56,840
Just creating
a forever home for him.
735
00:32:56,909 --> 00:32:59,109
-Good to meet you.
-Same here.
736
00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:00,310
My name is Dawn.
737
00:33:00,312 --> 00:33:03,814
Of course, a fan of
what Tia and her family do.
738
00:33:03,816 --> 00:33:05,849
So I went to their website.
739
00:33:05,951 --> 00:33:07,751
Ben was the first dog
on there.
740
00:33:07,853 --> 00:33:09,353
He's adorable.
741
00:33:09,454 --> 00:33:11,855
He has that little
mustache under his nose.
742
00:33:11,957 --> 00:33:13,323
So cute.
743
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:17,227
As far as his deafness goes,
I'm not really worried
about that.
744
00:33:17,229 --> 00:33:20,530
Ben's deafness
is not a disability.
745
00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:24,301
It's an exceptionality,
and it makes him
an exceptional dog.
746
00:33:24,303 --> 00:33:27,637
Being around Ben since
he came to the rescue,
747
00:33:27,739 --> 00:33:32,709
he just needs some parents,
gonna take time to get him
748
00:33:32,711 --> 00:33:35,412
the structure
you want for y'all.
749
00:33:35,414 --> 00:33:37,848
And I guarantee you,
gonna be like that.
750
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:39,616
-We look forward to it.
-Yeah.
751
00:33:39,618 --> 00:33:44,521
Being that he is deaf
and my parents are deaf,
752
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:48,525
I have insight
into what he sees,
what his world is.
753
00:33:48,527 --> 00:33:50,460
That's why his bed
is over here.
754
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:51,961
Okay?
755
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:54,798
So when we're sitting
there, we can have
that eye contact with him.
756
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:55,832
All right.
757
00:33:55,901 --> 00:33:59,102
My initial reaction
of the adopter's home,
758
00:33:59,104 --> 00:34:01,104
I do feel like
they are prepared.
759
00:34:01,106 --> 00:34:02,305
They have him toys.
760
00:34:02,307 --> 00:34:03,607
They have him a doggy bed.
761
00:34:03,609 --> 00:34:05,809
They have him
a nice soft crate.
762
00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:07,711
But I'd like to go
see the backyard.
763
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:12,516
But my main concern
always be with the yard
'cause it'll be a sad thing
764
00:34:12,518 --> 00:34:14,317
if we drop the dog off toda
765
00:34:14,319 --> 00:34:16,420
and he escaped tomorrow
and something bad happen.
766
00:34:16,422 --> 00:34:21,758
So Miss Tia's main objective
is they have a secure yard.
767
00:34:21,827 --> 00:34:23,326
All this for him?
768
00:34:23,328 --> 00:34:25,328
-[woman] All that's for him.
-[Kim] All that's for him.
769
00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:27,330
Oh, my God!
770
00:34:27,332 --> 00:34:28,932
300 feet to the back.
771
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:32,302
Man, that man gonna
forget about us so quick.
772
00:34:32,304 --> 00:34:37,407
The fence is something
that I and with the help
of my friends,
773
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:40,811
over the last three weeks,
have installed.
774
00:34:40,813 --> 00:34:42,712
This is nice, man.
775
00:34:42,714 --> 00:34:44,414
I just want to see
his excitement
776
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:46,950
when he realizes that
he has all this space.
777
00:34:47,019 --> 00:34:49,619
It's not confined
to just a kennel.
778
00:34:49,621 --> 00:34:51,321
He's gonna love
being out here.
779
00:34:52,558 --> 00:34:56,993
When I saw the backyard,
I tried to make a deal
like take me in,
780
00:34:56,995 --> 00:34:58,128
send Ben back.
781
00:34:58,130 --> 00:34:59,729
Beautiful yard.
A lot of space.
782
00:34:59,731 --> 00:35:01,698
Sound like y'all ready
for your package.
783
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,100
I'd love to go get him.
784
00:35:03,102 --> 00:35:07,104
So it really made me
feel good about
that situation.
785
00:35:07,106 --> 00:35:08,338
You ready?
786
00:35:09,308 --> 00:35:11,508
Come on.
787
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:13,210
I'm excited.
788
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:16,813
I'm nervous that
he will be sad.
789
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:19,116
Oh, you act like you know
where you're going.
790
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:24,621
Like missing other dogs,
missing New Orleans,
I just hope he's okay here.
791
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,523
Here we go.
792
00:35:33,132 --> 00:35:34,263
-Here we go.
-Hi.
793
00:35:34,265 --> 00:35:36,333
He act like he knew
exactly where he was going.
794
00:35:37,402 --> 00:35:38,535
Come around here.
795
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:40,403
Come around here.
796
00:35:40,405 --> 00:35:41,905
Come on.
797
00:35:41,907 --> 00:35:43,206
Hi.
798
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:46,610
-Hi.
-He's just looking
around.
799
00:35:46,612 --> 00:35:48,678
-Yeah.
-Hi.
800
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,116
He walked up
to the front door like, man,
get me out of here, I'm home.
801
00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:55,051
[Kim] I just feel like
just overjoyed.
802
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:57,053
I'm just so glad he's here.
803
00:35:57,055 --> 00:35:58,822
You hit the spot, I think.
804
00:35:58,824 --> 00:36:00,390
Good boy.
That's it.
805
00:36:00,392 --> 00:36:02,291
Did I find it?
806
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:07,430
First time I pet him,
his head just rolled over li
"You found the spot."
807
00:36:07,432 --> 00:36:08,665
This is it, Ben.
808
00:36:09,201 --> 00:36:10,333
This is it.
809
00:36:10,435 --> 00:36:12,536
-Thank you, buddy.
-This is it for you.
810
00:36:12,604 --> 00:36:14,070
Thank you.
Yeah.
811
00:36:14,072 --> 00:36:16,806
We're just really glad
he's here.
812
00:36:16,808 --> 00:36:18,041
Come on, we're going this way.
813
00:36:18,043 --> 00:36:19,242
Let's go.
He's sniffing everywhere.
814
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:20,810
-We're going this way.
-Oh, yeah.
815
00:36:20,812 --> 00:36:22,179
[Earl] Come on, this way.
816
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:24,948
[Kim] There you go.
817
00:36:25,017 --> 00:36:26,650
[Earl] I don't need
that no more.
818
00:36:26,718 --> 00:36:27,917
[Kim] Good boy.
819
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,620
He got finished going
around the perimeter.
820
00:36:30,622 --> 00:36:32,822
He was up the far corner
of the yard.
821
00:36:32,824 --> 00:36:34,558
He turned
and he looked at us,
822
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,961
and it wasn't so much
the expression on his face,
823
00:36:38,063 --> 00:36:40,463
it was the expression
on his whole body.
824
00:36:40,565 --> 00:36:42,899
Come on.
Come on.
825
00:36:42,901 --> 00:36:45,135
He just...
just started running.
826
00:36:45,237 --> 00:36:51,107
Just to see him
be able to just run
at a full gallop
827
00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:54,277
and feel like he's finally
found that freedom.
828
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:58,648
So isn't that what we all want
is a little freedom?
829
00:36:58,717 --> 00:37:02,619
Once he caught that
eye contact, he's like,
"Yup," then come running.
830
00:37:02,621 --> 00:37:04,321
That's what I need to see.
831
00:37:04,323 --> 00:37:07,123
Once he called him
and he came immediately.
832
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:09,226
You know, he didn't run to me.
833
00:37:09,228 --> 00:37:10,527
Good.
834
00:37:11,563 --> 00:37:12,862
Good.
835
00:37:14,032 --> 00:37:16,199
I've been in the car
with him for 12 hours.
836
00:37:16,201 --> 00:37:17,834
You know,
he ran to the adopter,
837
00:37:17,936 --> 00:37:21,838
and that was a real
touchy moment for me.
838
00:37:21,940 --> 00:37:24,107
Look like my work
here is done.
839
00:37:24,109 --> 00:37:25,508
He know this is it.
840
00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:26,943
This is mine right here.
841
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:29,613
This is mine.
842
00:37:29,615 --> 00:37:31,681
It's just we both just
felt something
843
00:37:31,683 --> 00:37:33,316
we've been missing
since Rider was gone.
844
00:37:33,318 --> 00:37:36,052
And Ben will fill that
that spot.
845
00:37:37,956 --> 00:37:40,624
This dog kills me,
he been with us for years.
846
00:37:40,626 --> 00:37:42,626
Like he gonna see me
walk away
847
00:37:42,628 --> 00:37:43,960
and ain't gonna blink a eye.
Like, "bye."
848
00:37:45,631 --> 00:37:47,197
-You think so?
-Bye.
849
00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:51,401
Well, you know,
it's always mixed emotions
when we get these dogs adopted
850
00:37:51,403 --> 00:37:54,104
'cause we deal with them like
seven days a week.
851
00:37:54,106 --> 00:37:59,576
You really can't help but
get attached to them.
852
00:37:59,578 --> 00:38:02,512
He's gonna get a lot of lovi
and he's going to get
a lot of carin'.
853
00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:05,649
He's gonna get out
as much as possible.
854
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:07,851
It don't get no better
than this for him.
855
00:38:25,003 --> 00:38:26,636
It's cute, right?
856
00:38:29,341 --> 00:38:34,210
So today, we are having
kind of a soft grand opening
for the new building.
857
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:36,379
You know, we're still
putting stuff together.
858
00:38:36,381 --> 00:38:38,715
We still have a lot more
construction to do.
859
00:38:38,717 --> 00:38:41,951
But we had a lot of people,
a lot of our supporters,
860
00:38:42,053 --> 00:38:44,120
a lot of our donors that
were just, you know...
861
00:38:44,122 --> 00:38:46,323
They were like,
"Come on, let us in."
862
00:38:46,325 --> 00:38:48,625
So finally, I thought,
"Okay, this is it.
863
00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:50,660
Let's let some people in."
864
00:38:50,729 --> 00:38:53,063
Each building has a turnout,
865
00:38:53,131 --> 00:38:55,065
and I'm trying to make
this like a totally
self-contained...
866
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:56,132
Like a city here.
867
00:38:56,201 --> 00:38:59,002
So the whole purpose
is to take dogs out,
868
00:38:59,004 --> 00:39:00,737
whether it's outside
or in here,
869
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:04,240
you don't have to walk
outside the gate or the fence.
870
00:39:04,342 --> 00:39:08,111
I think having
the new building
in the New Orleans location
871
00:39:08,113 --> 00:39:10,347
and having everybody
under the same roof,
872
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:13,917
having the dogs
more organized,
873
00:39:13,919 --> 00:39:18,121
and the environment
so much more stress free,
874
00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:20,223
I think it's gonna be
better for the dogs.
875
00:39:20,225 --> 00:39:22,225
This is gonna be their
temporary training arena.
876
00:39:22,227 --> 00:39:25,261
We're just gonna make a little
indoor training area,
so I'll order the rest.
877
00:39:25,330 --> 00:39:27,831
You know, we're doing
a lot of focusing now
on training
878
00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:31,801
with Lizzie taking
on this additional role.
879
00:39:31,803 --> 00:39:35,739
For us, it's all about
making it better for the dogs.
880
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:44,647
This has been kind of
a combination of employees,
my kids.
881
00:39:47,919 --> 00:39:49,018
That was easy.
882
00:39:50,222 --> 00:39:52,122
I thought it was gonna
be a lot harder to do.
883
00:39:52,124 --> 00:39:57,827
And a lot of volunteers
that helped, you know,
884
00:39:57,829 --> 00:40:00,363
make this new dream
come true.
885
00:40:01,066 --> 00:40:02,265
Hello, Gordy.
886
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:03,833
Hey, Gordy.
He perks up.
887
00:40:05,437 --> 00:40:06,503
Gordy.
888
00:40:06,505 --> 00:40:08,538
Okay.
889
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:14,110
You know, with COVID hittin
and the flooding around
our building, you know,
890
00:40:14,112 --> 00:40:19,482
we shut down the warehouse,
no tours, travel restriction
which was tough.
891
00:40:19,484 --> 00:40:22,419
With having this new building
in New Orleans,
892
00:40:22,421 --> 00:40:25,355
changing the way
we're gonna be handling
things
893
00:40:25,457 --> 00:40:30,126
and really focusing
on including the public more
894
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:35,198
Remember if somebody
in front of your stops,
be sure you stop.
895
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,899
You know, it's a good feelin
896
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:39,502
I'm putting together
for the first time ever
a foster dog program.
897
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:44,407
We have never relied
on people to foster our dogs
because we have trust issues.
898
00:40:44,409 --> 00:40:45,775
Plain and simple.
899
00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:48,711
But then you see
all the good that
these people do
900
00:40:48,713 --> 00:40:51,047
when they come to volunteer
and you see them
with these dogs
901
00:40:51,116 --> 00:40:54,150
and you're like,
"We have got to rip
the Band-Aid off
902
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:56,019
and just start trusting
again."
903
00:40:56,021 --> 00:40:57,053
It's hard.
904
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:58,755
It's hard.
905
00:40:58,857 --> 00:41:01,224
So between
the foster dog program,
906
00:41:01,226 --> 00:41:04,227
between opening up
the new building
in New Orleans
907
00:41:04,229 --> 00:41:06,062
to do some training
and behavioral stuff,
908
00:41:06,164 --> 00:41:08,865
having volunteers come back
and walking the dogs,
909
00:41:08,933 --> 00:41:11,401
this is like a new Villalobos
for us.
910
00:41:11,403 --> 00:41:14,938
Let's step it up
and do better.
911
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:19,042
That's what
the Villalobos Healing Center
is all about, doing better.
