🐢 Meeting A Rare 100 Year Old Tortoise | FULL EPISODE | S03E06 | Vet On The Hill

[@aprilchamberlain1677]

Those baby tortoises are so cute!! They're so little! So happy for Arnie he deserves all the love he can get!

[@remruna3538]

Arnie, stiff as a board until he saw Mable.... then all of a sudden he's a puppy again. If that's not the sweetest thing ever I dont know. Also.... 100 yo and dropping babies, I am impressed. I know reptiles function a bit differently to mammals but daaaamn... and they were adorable babies too

[@levim7184]

Tortoises are CRAZY as a general rule lol

Dogs read our faces. They don't need hearing to see and love us. Vibration and air currents are good enough, though of course we would like our animals to be able to hear. I've known several deaf cats and dogs and it doesn't keep them out of the running for good animals.

and to think that those tortoise hatchlings may outlive everyone in this comment section right now. They may one day be examined by a vet whose parents probably aren't yet conceived themselves. Amazing how long these reptiles, small as they are, can live.

@@DG-zv4bl, i have one who has outlived two different carers, and is still chugging along, working hard at outliving me.

[@cnoinfo3928]

I work owner surrender cases for a rescue specializing in senior dogs and in my experience people don’t give up their senior pups without a good reason. Deaths, nursing home, financial and health changes. I’ve taken 3 of my own fosters into care directly from their owners and it was horrifically difficult on all of those owners. Watching those goodbyes is not something you can forget and it broke my heart to see every time. But they made the decision to put their dogs needs first when they realized they could no longer care for them properly. It might seem horrible to give up a senior dog but to me it’s an act of love to put their needs first.

[@sarahberlaud4285]

Agreed, fully... but since they usually know the backstory of how a pet got to the pound on this show, I don't think it's like that in Arnie's case. Also, the state of his health was so poor, and not something that would've happened overnight. Possibly the previous owners couldn't afford things such as surgery on that growth, but they should have been brushing his teeth and taking care of him in other, inexpensive ways. My husband and I had to leave his home country, and we left our beloved cat with his mother, in the countryside, where he was happy (and he had always travelled with us, even on social outings, and so was familiar with the people and the place). It was absolutely heart wrenching, even though we were able to receive news, photos, and cuddles when we returned home for visits. In our cat's specific situation, the journey in an aircraft carrier would have been very risky, and we knew it was best for him... it was so hard, though. Bless you for taking care of rescues, by the way

[@Kirmeins]

@@sarahberlaud4285 Tell that to the 80 year old who barely manages to brush his own teeth, is shortsighted and very forgetful... :( And as nice as it seems to believe they would tell us the truth and only the truth I'm actually 90% certain that they like to tell half truths and/or overly dramatic stories instead to bring across a point. Which musn't be a bad thing as it should get people thinking. But raging on unknown previous owners of that specific dog when you cannot be sure of the real story is just unfair! Sentences like "I can't believe someone would dumb their old dog" is *very* vague and tells you nothing about the dogs story. For all we know his owner died or was forced to move into a retirement home. They might've had only a distant family member left who had no choice but to bring the dog to the pound. Or there was noone left and the dog was picked up by the police and brought to the pound. No backstory would be available in such a case. At least someone cared enough that he ended up with people who could help him and find a new home. Lucky boy :)

[@loftyskies123]

my daughter fosters Dogue De Bordeaux ,s each dog becomes part of our whole family ,one she only had for 2 weeks before he died his owner passed away and he was really old and had given up he was in kennels and wouldnt eat ,his teeth were bad and his mouth was swollen ,then the rescue got him out and he came to us .poor jack we gave him a really good two weeks but his front legs gave in and the vet said it was time . simba who she has now has been here 2 years and his time is coming ,dreading it because i love him so much like my own . but there,s always another dog waiting for a loving family the next will be the 4th elderly dog .fostering the oldies makes a huge huge difference to these dogs .

[@sarahberlaud4285]

@@Kirmeins That's a fair point, and we'll never know for sure the circumstances. I'm with you that I'm just so overjoyed for him that he ended up with good veterinary care and a loving home! The only reason I guess I think that they tend to tell us the truth is that a number of times on Dr. Lisa's spinoff, where she rehomes rescue dogs, they've explained the backstory as being, "the owners were no longer able to take care of him due to illness," or "the owners were moving and weren't able to bring him along." But you're right that it's TV, and if they want to push a certain narrative, they definitely could.

[@ellenomalley3887]

In my opinion I'd say was due to the cost of his medical treatment.

I flippin cried when Arnie bowed to Mable!! So precious!!!! Made my day and I needed a pick me up😁

So did I. I'm so happy he has a good home to live out the rest of his days. 🙂❤

[@whitneythiher6021]

My dog got dumped twice. I'm his third owner. I got him when he was 2.5 years old. He will be 5 in October. He has been through a lot in his short life and will live the rest of it in bliss.

[@neosunrider]

I love this episode. :) Many in the comments are suggesting maybe Arnie's previous owners were elderly and couldn't care for him. But another possibility is that they were just too poor to take him to the vet, but loved him for years. My own experience is we had a dog when I was growing up that started to have dental issues and growths that slowly appeared over years. We loved him dearly, but the vet bills were to expensive for our family to do more than the basic shots necessary. We can make assumptions about dogs like this, but we can never truly know their history and what they've gone through (good or bad). We can just make sure that their life from now on is a good one.

[@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n]

He said the dog came from a pound. Not a rescue centre. Two different types of organisations. It was a rescue centre that took him from the pound, then called the vet on the hill.

[@samanthamaynard4447]

I kinda feel like Scott and Ali are platonic soul mates. Whenever they are together on the show, it's clear that they have a deep bond.

[@jessieelmazi5666]

I do think Scott is a bit enamoured with all fellow animal lovers. (In a platonic way)

[@sherkylady7765]

Hilarious how Scott (and others) keep talking to Arnie knowing he’s completely deaf.

[@Lady_Bird_420]

I'm soooo happy for Ali ! I remember when her dog got sick...my heart broke for her. Then she got Mabel and I thought YEA !!! , but then when she saw Arnie, at first you could see that she was almost to scared to let her heart fall for him because what if he had cancer....but then when the results came back negative.....and then the meet and greet with Molly went sooo well! So happy for her.

Ali's reaction to Arnie was just so wholesome!

[@anneramsey6403]

I’m a home dog boarder and one of my clients turned up one day and asked if I knew anyone that wanted a dog. I asked her what dog and she looked down at Motts and said “him, he gets on my nerves”. He was 14. We had the best two years with him and I’ve had a lot of dogs and I can honestly say he was the best dog I’d ever owned. I wish I’d had him when he was younger but I did have the pleasure of looking after him when his owner was on holiday. I will never understand how anyone can choose to give up there dogs.

[@mommachupacabra]

Entirely possible Arnie's original owner(s) was elderly, either passed or was transfered to a care facility, and the family wasn't interested to help him (or couldn't afford to) take care of all his issues that original elderly owners either didn't notice or didn't know to care about (due to growing disability or dementia.)

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I was thinking the same. I volunteered at a cat and a ferret shelter and not all surrenders were without terribly sad happenings. Love the elderly animals.

[@Janeintheok]

It's tragic when an animal has to be surrendered because of the cost of vet care.

[@elisabethb.131]

It's possible, however somewhere after the 5:40 mark, Scott says Arnie was dumped. If someone can't take care of, or afford a dog, there are other options. An elderly person who can no longer take care of a dog, can surrender it to a rescue organisation or their vet with a simple phone call. That's what many of those organisations exist for. If the person doesn't or can't do that, then their family/caretaker has a responsibility to step in because neglecting a pet falls under animal cruelty in UK law. Things like rotten teeth can be painful, so neglect is cruel. Even if it happens unintentionally.

[@jroar123]

I once worked as an animal control officer (dog catcher). I couldn’t do the job because it just broke my heart having perfectly good animals destroyed because nobody was trying to get them adopted. When I tried, I ended getting in trouble so I quit. It was the hardest job I had ever done and I can’t believe how cold and cruel the county was and how mean people can be.

[@pumpkin53]

@@loftyskies123 Or could not afford the price

[@denasewell]

That is a likely scenario but either way the poor dog was neglected and suffered due to the humans who owned Arnie's circumstance! I am so glad Arnie landed in a forever home with an amazing dog mom who will got to the end of earth and back for her dogs...and it is awesome Mabel got a companion she seems to really love!

[@elisabethb.131]

They said he'd been dumped. If someone can no longer afford or take care of a pet they can give them up to one of many organizations that can help in situations like that. What often happens when an owner passes away or is moved to a home though is that the heirs or executor(s) of the owners estate don't want the dog or don't feel responsible for it and abandon it. People like that wouldn't be bonded with the dog, so they are more likely to not care.

[@Kirmeins]

@@elisabethb.131 And what to people usually call it when you "give up your dog to one of the many organizations"? Oh, thats right! They'll say the person "dumped the dog"... they make no difference between actually walking the dog inside, leaving him at the front step or tying him up at the roadside with a letter attached... but that is a huge difference which doesn't get mentioned in order to make a point in your pro animal series - which isn't a bad thing but us people watching should always be aware that what we hear is clouded by our perception and the way the show delivers the story. ;)

I loved seeing Maise and Daisy one week old. I was with the STOP (Sea Turtle Oversight Protection) Program on our beaches for a number of years. We would see the mamas come up out of the ocean and onto the beach. She dug the nest and deposited the eggs. We marked and corded off the nests and monitored the nests and protected them against predators. Some were two legged! After their gestation period, the babies were ready to hatch.. We monitored the nests, and were there for the hatch out. The tortoises, were in the nearby State Park and had their tunnels and we had many that were quite old. The tortoises uses lived under ground in tunnels and shares their nest with other species. The sea turtles live in the water. They travel all around the Atlantic basin. Amazingly, they come back to within 5 miles from where they were born to lay their eggs. We worked with our Wildlife and Conservation Groups. Many times students from our Universities studying the marine sciences, came out to patrol at night near hatch out times. They also learned to track the 7 species of turtles that came to Florida, USA every year. It Is a wonderful way to preserve these creatures for future generations.

[@Nonayabizness360]

I just rescued a 12 yr old Dachshund who had been through 2 homes because they said she nipped a child, I have 2 grandchildren and even I know that you need to watch your children around elderly pets because they are sore or not as willing to play as they used to be. In the United States telling the shelter the dog nipped or bit a child is an automatic death sentence for them at most shelters. My Dachshund is one of the best dogs we have ever had and she loves us and wants to be with us always. Please seek other options and always have a back up plan in case something happens to you so your animals don’t go to a shelter!

Seeing this old dog made wonder about something. When an owner gets too old to take care of their elderly pet and doesn't have the finances to take them to the vet is there a way they can get help? Also, what are their options when the owner has to go into care and they have no one to take their pet from them? It must be heartbreaking for both the owner and the pet.

[@Tirale]

I am very glad to see Arnie found himself a good home in the end, and it's very nice to see this show promoting shelters and the work they do! But I do react to both Scott and the two volunteer women just jumping to the conclusion that Arnie was abandoned and even assuming he's had a bad owner all his life when it could very well have been an owner who no longer was capable of looking after him, and was heartbroken to give him up when they realised it didn't work anymore. Personally I'm thinking that a dog like Arnie wouldn't have lived to fourteen years of age with "only" those issues in his old age if his previous home had neglected and abused him. So I'd wish that a show catering to most age groups and an international audience on KZbin was a little less judgemental, unless Scott and his co-workers knew something that we as viewers were not informed about. Also, "does she have any health issues?" - "No, none!" - Pug sits on the table and snores through every breath with a wide open mouth XD

Scott says Arnie was "dumped" at 5:50. This could very well mean that he was left somewhere by a car or tied to a tree. They don't go into further details, but I'm sure that if Arnie was properly surrendered to a vet or rescue organisation, Scott wouldn't have used the word "dumped".
