Barney & Loki the 2 terrified dogs learning to trust ... with the help of a shopping bag

[@mariadoswell7451]

Bless you all for giving these dogs the best chance of a good life. Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@chantaljansenvanvuuren3054]

Absolutely you girls are amazing what you do ❤❤❤

[@suevoigt5973]

You girls are absolutely amazing ❤❤

[@janzwoolf8531]

Heartbreaking to watch but ever so grateful for all that you do . I can’t imagine the suffering these beautiful souls have gone through but thank goodness they were able to be caught and now in your care. If only they could talk and speak up for themselves. Thankyou over and over again Dee and Don and team. Amazing team work to get them up and out. To see their tails so tucked in tells the horrifying story of them . Looking forward to following their journey onwards and upwards. 🐾🐾💕 ❤

Thank you for uplifting (literally) our spirits and those of the beautiful dogs. So inspiring and heart warming. Thank you for your devine feminine spark and may that inspire the devine masculine to join you in the quest for kindness.

That's such progress from the last video. Great job team!❤💚💜

[@EGSimon-ds1vf]

Oh Dee! I can't even imagine the level of fear these two dogs must have to make them lose control of their bowels and bladder. You and your team are so wonderful and patient. Sending lots of love to Barney and Loki.

Geez someone was working late at night to get this video out and we appreciate it. Thank DOG for all the updates, the patience and the love you have for these animals. ❤❤

Watching an absolutely terrified dog fearing anything and everything, obviously mainly human beings, is the hardest thing to do. I thought I had seen abject fear in Faith and Hope, the two boxers adopted by Sam and Luke. They also refused to walk but they showed no aggression. It is impossible to imagine what Barney and Loki must have endured to get to this state. One feels humbled by your dedication, patience and dogged determination. I wish donations will flow in to help your finances. Via PayPal I sent something with much love for these two abused dogs. Thank you, for what you are doing ❤

[@cathyshinkoskey125]

Wow - soo tough❤❤❤❤❤

[@FaenmegTastisk]

Very good to see them improving! You do fantastic work 🤩🤩🤩

[@KBirch53]

❤❤Bless your hearts. With love and patience we can see progress. It may be slow but that’s ok. These two have come from a h*llish situation that is unimaginable. Hang in Barney and Loki…life is going to keep getting better. ❤❤

What an inspired moment that was - about the shopping bags! It looks to be a very good way to solve a big problen!

[@sue-annehenderson2750]

Dee, you are amazing. What a great idea. SO creative. The bags look to need some sideways strength to stop them collapsing. Maybe a cord sewn along the outside, horizontaly, as it will not hurt the dogs but give strength to the "bags". . I'm no seamstress, but maybe your wonderful sewing person will understand and be able to do this. You, and the team, are so patient and caring with 2 dogs who are so shut down and sacred. Even my dog came and was listening and had a concerned look on his face, while Loki and Barney didn't bark but the other dogs did. This is so wonderful with the dogs' change. One amazing step at a time.

One step at a time.

[@sheryl5252]

[@annemarieallaire6564]

Dee, you are the Fairy DogMother, Santa's go to Elf for the dogs at Christmas, you and your team are such Advocates to save these precious lives!!!! ❤❤❤❤What a genius idea to help the pups walk!! Let's all work together to get Dee's subscribers to 10,000 this year!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@denisefreeman1761]

I can see Barney is doing better already ❤ you are so good with these dogs ❤❤❤

[@timingenkamp3973]

Dee. The shopping bag idea was brilliant! I wish I had thought of it several years ago when my 65kg Doberdane tore his knee ligaments and was unable to get up. I will remember though and will pass on the information to any I feel might benefit from it.

[@njsmkmmsthatsit3518]

All I can say is you can see they are making progress. That has to be back breaking doing that, not to mention heart breaking. Thanks so much for caring about them so much Dee and crew. Great idea to use shopping bags never would have thought of that. How on earth did they get that fearful. I have literally never seen dogs that terrified in my life. i wonder if they would feel calmer with another dog walking with them? You only have so many hands but maybe when it's not such a struggle... Now they are not skin and bone any more I can see they look to be mostly Greyhound imo and they are usually such calm and accepting doggos. Then maybe Great Dane because of the colouring on Loki. Never had a GD so don't know anything about them, temperament wise. When our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Mastiff, Lab mix (about 60 kgs) was in his last few days of life and could just walk, but could no longer get up on his feet we had a device. It's a thick belt about 30-40 cms wide. That goes around a persons waist in hospitals/nursing homes. It's used for helping people walk when they are unsteady on their feet. To stop them falling.... It was well padded and had handles made out of webbing and sewn on all around the outside. It did up with thick webbing like a seatbelt and one of those huge catches. Like what most dog collars have, to do them up, but much bigger. They might be called "gate belts" I think. I'd put it around the underside of his chest belly area, behind his front legs and slowly and gently pull him forward and up on his feet. That would be perfect for this use and wasn't so slippery. Again guys we can see progress, so hope you feel encouraged after all that blood sweat and tears and poop and skin. Thanks so much again for being as determined as they both are that you are going to help them......

[@slongv1547]

The dogs definitely are better with Dee than anyone just a suggestion maybe get Luke to help with some tips or better still ask him to take them for rehab.

[@KBirch53]

Sending them to The Farm is not an option for many many reasons.

[@slongv1547]

@ it was just a suggestion

[@denisefreeman1761]

What did this poor little guy go through.

[@Sue-Roxy]

What happened to Loki & Barney☹ Treats did treats help when walking? throwing Chese twisties in front dog? I have ti do this with Roxy when she is scared & will not walk on her walks, but she isnt as bad as these 2 poor boys.😩
