Thank you for saving this PAWSOME furbaby!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jadevinceul3433]

Why did the original owners relinquish their ownership of him? I don’t get it. On the other hand, kudos to the couple who fed him for over a year and saved him ❤

[@SimonPhillips-dj7mc]

Thank you so very much for your kindness!😁🙌🙏😇

[@Jooliecn]

Amazing people with persistent BIG hearts! Wish they’d shown the reunion with the family who lost him.❤

[@juliej5917]

What a BEAUTIFUL story, and certainly a loving, lovely couple. I’d keep a harness AND a collar on him and DOUBLE LEASH on potty breaks. I think he will fall so deeply in love with his heroes that soon enough he will never leave. Congrats to the three of you!!! 🎉💙🐾

[@trex3003]

What wonderful people!

[@jmo2104]

This is such a wonderful story, and thank you❤❤❤

[@juliej5917]

Portuguese? Beautiful language.

[@D2or3ny]

Yay, so glad his rescuers are his new owners. I'd like to know how the dog "went missing" while his first owners were camping. Do you know HOW MANY dogs are LOST when camping? It's a flipping epidemic. Leave your dogs at home with a professional, reputable dogsitter or at a doggie hotel.

[@leoborganelli]

You two are so awesome! Thank you and barley thanks you too

[@michelleparker9591]

Oh my goodness. I remember this post on Facebook and have wondered what had become of this dog. So great to hear that these wonderful Yoopers saved this little guy. ❤❤❤

[@jillapril]

i’m confused, how come the original owner didn’t want him back?

[@huskeyfosterfail4980]

Amazing people gives me hope in the world

[@mac-ju5ot]

Awwe..hes going to love u both given time.god bless you both

[@arleneportsmouth1263]

It would be so nice to have a wonderful loving giving unselfish husband like him who goes along with what his wife wants to do to save this poor dog. What happened with the original couple who lost the dog? Has anyone contact the dogs original owners and let them know that their dog is actually still alive?

[@StillAlive2018]

Hooray!!❤❤❤

[@annmarie3520]

Such a wonderful story. In this crazy world it’s so nice to hear a sweet story. You both are wonderful and caring!❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤🥰

[@kimmichaluk3072]

Wonderful story! If one person choose to save one animal in need the world will be a better place ❤

[@genevabecker8441]

[@7hilladelphia]

Terrific news 🎉🎉🎉 yay Barley !

[@HermitLady]

They should keep the dog. 💞🤟

[@dmotta2811]

Awe, poor Bailey

[@createone100]

This is a brilliant story! But what happened to the original owners? Why would they ‘relinquish their ownership’?

[@novampires223]

Sounds like they moved?

[@judithshelton5655]

I am wondering the same thing. I don’t understand.

[@tammiep9628]

What I am getting from the story is he has been lost for 14 months. The original owners tried to find him but had to go back because they’re from Detroit area, so the people in the U. P. kept looking for him and it has taken this long. I believe the owners probably let these people have him because he got to know them. I also think this is a young dog. So I’m thinking it hasn’t been like years of attachment to the original owners. This is my thought on what I’ve gotten out of this video.

[@createone100]

@@tammiep9628 Yeah, you could be right for sure. What is the U.P?

[@allsensesfiring]

​@@createone100Upper Peninsula??

[@volemole]

Great work.

[@teacup3133]

I don’t really get that. The original owners relinquished their ownership. Thank God for this couple.

[@armageddonready4071]

A lost dog will wander until they find a safe spot. While your looking, drag a piece of clothing you wore, the dog WILL FOLLOW THAT PATH, to a fenced area. Barely is going to LOVE bring home. What a experience for them all.

[@lisashirtz7224]

Good job!

[@craig4908]

What magical people 💥 salt of the earth 🌈

[@jillapril]

i’m confused, don’t the original owners want him knowing he’s been found?

[@dianawright8334]

Yay you guys

[@smuirhead3107]

So let me get this straight. The previous owners just relinquished ownership of the dog, despite being the idiots who took the dog camping? I hope they never get another dog ever. Stick with a goldfish or a cat cuz clearly, dogs are not your thing and this AMAZING couple are HEROS. Thank you ma’am and sir for your undying love

[@midknight1968]

❤❤❤

[@tarawhite4419]

How cute

[@margie453]

I am confused. Were these the original owners?

[@terre08]

What's up with that orange waterfall!

[@vickilittel8630]

The water is clean. It's just a mineral it's just a mineral in the water.

[@BradSmith-rp2li]

It's brown because of tannic acid from cedar trees .

[@ostrichlink]

So, the people who originally owned the dog gave up on him? That’s horrible. These great yo operas are angels!

[@peggijames-fs9iu]

Ty

[@endless_summer_rose]

These beautiful people ❤ So the old owners gave up and dont want him? Garbage

[@d.g.n9392]

I’m certain he’ll have a great life, I believe if it were me, I’d get one of those GPS tags for him.

[@jc2385]

So he’s not returning to the family that lost him?

[@daisymae6376]

[@marciapartekel1726]

Wonderful people. But I hope they know a lot about Husky’s because he’ll be sure to be off again. need a good tall fence With some sheeting below the ground sure containment and leash when out and about
