When I read Oliver's book, I felt deeply connected to Steven and his life story. I'm not sure what it was, but reading about his hardships, overcoming obstacles, heartbreak, loss, his love for his dogs, and his ability to forgive was truly inspiring. I really wanted to do something kind for a well-deserving man. So I thought, why not advertise his book, and help him share his story? I hope you enjoy the read as much as I did. *GET YOUR OLIVER BOOK TODAY!* www.thomasnelson.com/p/oliver/ *AMAZON USA* a.co/d/4qtB8Nw *TICKETS FOR FIND YOUR HAPPY FUNDRAISER* happysplace.ca/event/girl-with-the-dogs-event/ *MY FUNDRAISER FOR HAPPYS PLACE SENIOR DOG RESCUE* gofund.me/663867eb

[@user-yn4xc8kt3i]

My yorkie wandered out through a door that wasnt properly shut....after hours of walking around the neighborhood, asking everyone i met, in the rain in december, i was starting to sob and panic. On my way back home i passed two rough looking dudes fixing a moped, who i had asked earlier. One called out to me asking the color of my dog. He said he had just been to someones house in the area whose kid had brought home a "new puppy"... my dog! He took off on the moped and 15 minutes later he was back at my house, in the rain, my dog under his arm on the moped. That kid stole my dog and his dad apparently thought it was ok to just keep him (he had tags and was chipped). I would have never found him if not for my kind neighbor.

[@nillyk5671]

Wow! I'm so happy for you both. How did your neighbor get the dog back? 😮

[@user-yn4xc8kt3i]

@@nillyk5671 I'm sure he just told the kid it was someone else's dog and he couldn't keep it, then took it. The kids dad probably didn't care, since the kid just came home with the dog. It wasn't the dad who stole it. I live in an area with a lot of Latino immigrants who have very different cultural ideas about dog ownership and I got the impression it was one of those families who had him. Since for them street dogs are very normal, they likely didn't even know they were taking someone's pet or where to take it or anything.

shorkies are unfortunately very popular with dog thieves, because they're so cute they fetch a high price both for buying and breeding. our shorkie was *TWENTY-FOUR* years old when he was dognapped from our backyard while we were getting groceries. he was blind, deaf, toothless, incontinent and neutered but he didn't look his age at first glance. while i was searching for him i was also told of some "rescues" in the area that considered it abusive to let dogs out into a fenced-in yard unsupervised so either someone stole him to resell him (or breed him but good luck with that) or they "rescued" him from the horror of having the freedom to totter around a huge backyard. we never did get him back and at this point he's almost certainly deceased. it's a shame he wasn't able to spend his final days with the family he'd known all his life.

[@novembermiss]

One of the most heartless, callous comments that can be said by those who completely lack empathy is, "It's just a dog" or "It's just a cat." For those of us who have had or have soulmate companion animals and love them dearly, the bond is the same or greater than with humans. I am so glad Oliver and Steven were reunited. It's every pet owner's nightmare to have their furbaby be stolen or go missing. Thank you Vanessa for featuring this good man and his good boy.

[@imia9334]

Checking the comments before I watch to make sure he got home or I wouldn't be able to function for the rest of the day. My dog is everything to me, and him being dognapped is my biggest nightmare. ETA: To the ones saying 'he's in the video, idiot, so obviously he's fine': 1) It could have been a video about a dog she had filmed grooming but not yet published who later was dognapped and the owner was searching for him and she was helping him put the word out. I barely scanned the title before I checked the comments just to be sure. 2) We all have different thresholds for what we can handle, and this one is hard for me. There's no shame in that. If you didn't react the same way, that's fine. I reacted this way, that is also fine. (And yes, I bought the book on Kindle. It sounds like a good book. I'm all for ads for good books.)

[@MoniqueBoulangerMSG]

I live in Nova Scotia and there is a notorious dognapper named Gail Benoit that has been in and out of jail for years because of stealing dogs and cats and trying to sell them after they became really ill. She's not allowed near any companion animals anymore, but that doesn't stop her daughter working on her behalf. I will *never* leave my dogs unattended outside because of her. (Note how I did not say allegedly, because her crimes have been proven in a court of law in which she was duly sentenced) It really is a common practice around here for people to steal and re-sell dogs. It was such a problem that you can't adopt out dogs without a vet's certification that a: the dog is healthy and b: the dog is really your rescue org's (or yours in the case of oopsie puppies).

That story sounds so sweet. I'll definitely cry, if I read it. I'm so glad Oliver got to come home. ❤❤❤

Heartwarming story, Vanessa. Thanks for your part in our community of caring. 💖

[@castleskater07]

If humans had the same compassion towards eachother as Vanessa has for the dogs she grooms, just imagine how much better off humanity would be today 🥺

[@dnice9168]

I haven't even read the story, so why am I crying listening to him? 😊 maybe because i luv my puppers so much.

Gee, Thanks Vanessa. I got the book and I've been in tears since the Prologue. What a moving and beautiful story. Thank you for showcasing Oliver and Steven in this video.

This is wonderful and uplifting. Oliver's a sweetie.

Oliver is so adorable. I love this good morning story.

[@Lady_Ginnie]

What a cute little baby! I can't imagine coming back to your car to find your dog missing. That had to be terrifying!

[@angelahagood3639]

Vanessa, you’re the best! What a wonderful story! To Oliver I’d like to say that there are days that I feel like facing the wall too, buddy. Thank you for sharing him AND his story with us! He’s too cute! I love his little Ewok paws!🐾

[@dena5558]

I love that there is a version for young readers too! My daughter will love having her own copy. Thank you for sharing their story Vanessa. ❤️

[@stevenjcarino]

Thank you! 🐾❤🐾 the Young Readers book contains “Oliver’s Thoughts”, Gives the reader an idea of what he might have been thinking.

[@gregpendrey6711]

This is the top episode for the back story! Great work. ❤️

[@lorraineyanez4301]

He is so cute. I'm glad to hear he went back home.❤

[@connieandgwennie1450]

Such a beautiful story. There's nothing worse than a beloved animal that goes missing, whatever the reason. It’s gut rentching and heartbreaking, not knowing if you will ever see your precious girl/ boy again. I'm so happy that Steven and Oliver were re-united.❤❤❤❤❤ What a wonderful make-over, Vanessa. Oliver looked sooo handsome after his groom! 😊❤❤❤❤

[@stevenjcarino]

She made him into a very handsome boy! 🐾♥️🐾

[@cherinelson3436]

God bless you Vanessa for bringing this story to light on your channel. Beautiful!
