Great to see Kobe so happy and healthy. Our beautiful Labrador passed away a few days ago, leaving a massive hole in our lives. You do a great job for the dogs and watching you sitting with dogs is so comforting. Thanks 👍🐾🦴🇬🇧🌞

[@kellyhill8335]

I bought your chicken breast jerky, beef & chicken regular jerky. My dogs LOVE THEM ALL! I just reordered 10 more packages. They are the most loved of all the treats they have had. I put down a piece of jerky & after they smelled it, they couldn't get enough. I appreciate the ability to tear it in different pieces. I have a Frenchie & a Shepard/ Terrier mix who is ~40 lbs. So, tearing into different sizes helps me. Everyone should try some with your dogs. I was giving the chicken breast to my dogs & without thinking, I put a small piece in my mouth. It was really tasty. Of course, they are for the dogs. But, now I see why they love it so much. Thank you, Rocky, for baking these great treats.

[@jennifercriss1897]

Rocky, I would watch you watch paint dry. Behind the scenes or whatever you want to do I know that I’m here for your videos! I rescued my Alaskan Malamute and drove for 14 hours to get him and a couple weeks later your videos popped up. That was over 9 months ago. I watch all your videos and when I wanna watch your videos and you haven’t put one out yet I hit the button and watch all of your older videos! They are comforting and kind and sweet videos that makes my soul smile!! Love what you do! And I love you even if you don’t know me. I love your family and staff. I am autistic so sorry if it’s too much but I really appreciate you and your staff. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🧩

[@mariagillinson8527]

I’m a rescue in Toronto, Canada that rescues German Shepherds from high kill shelters usually euthanasia listed. The longer these Shepherds stay confined the worse it gets, people can’t read Shepherds they’re afraid and people think they aren’t friendly… Shepherds shouldn’t be in noisy shelters without a person to guide them. They get so confused and super stressed. They are super smart and just don’t understand what’s happening. So many different people handling them, they try to connect then people change just a horrible cycle for such majestic dogs. Shepherds need their person.

[@donnamcfarland162]

You surely understand the shepherd… agree completely… best most loving dogs . Loyal!!!

I have 4 that nobody else wanted. 125 lbs fence jumper. 95 lbs has depth perception. 85 lbs with a twisted spine and short back leg with no socket. 70 lbs someone used to pick him up from his paws so terrified of anyone touching his paws, switsts himself into a pretzel if I try and that’s after 4 years of having him and teaching him trust and kindness. He will give paw so ivd got to that. Shakes like a leaf when I take him into Petsmart as they do it faster than I do. It’s just horrific. Animals can’t be classified as property they aren’t like a table or chair they are sentient beings with feeling it’s just wrong. They hurt, they’re sad and feel loss. “In his total commitment to nonviolence, Gandhi always included the animals, stating, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

[@pjk1714]

I'm glad you exist. My parents bred police Shepard's while we were growing up. They need a family or team unit. I didn't realize you exist. Google search function doesn't highlight. Appreciate your efforts and dedication.

[@mburke0330]

I grew up with German Shepherds. One in particular named Hannah and I had an amazing bond. She joined the family when I was around 9 or 10, and was the ripe old age of 16 when she went off into the woods, laid down, and took her last breath. She’s been the only dog we didn’t have to euthanize due to suffering that comes along with an elderly German Shepherd. She loved rocks, so much so that we had to take her to the vet numerous times to get huge rocks out of her mouth because they’d be wedged in so much so that she couldn’t open her mouth enough to get the rock back out of her mouth. Such an amazing breed!

[@jjbinderr]

Wayne is a prime example of why fostering dogs is so important. When they fold in on themselves mentally like he has, he would benefit so greatly from an interim owner

[@sandramazer3387]

i adopted a broken dog. She's a black bully mix. Spent her entire life chained up outside with 3 other dogs. I sit with her for hours some days. I've only had her for 4 months. She still doesn't play. If I sneeze she gets terrified. If it takes the rest of my life that's ok. I love her to pieces. Dogs give lots more than they take.

[@candacebouton5846]

The shelter where I volunteer doesn’t not allow sitting with dogs but I am blessed to go in everyday and walk these beautiful dogs. To see their personalities come out once they are outside is amazing. Thank you Rocky for what you do and inspiring me to volunteer.

Why would a shelter not allow this kind of visiting with their dogs.

[@sharazod989]

I got a pit bull that was 4yrs old, had never been house trained. I figured out they kept her in the basement 24/7. Turned in to pound twice. It was 2020 there were no dogs available. For the first 3months she would wrap herself around my feet anytime I was still. She is an absolutely a wonderful dog. She is 8 and follows me around like a puppy.

The shelters need to pipe calming piano music throughout. No joke, it WORKS to calm the pups down ❤

[@IMChrysalis]

My cats like cello with the piano... so do I!

[@susancassels5887]

My exact thought. ❤

[@brandywineblogger1411]

Mozart is supposed to be good for humans. It would be interesting to find out what genre of music dogs like. No hard rock. I saw some KZbin videos on an elephant that liked the (piano) Moonlight Sonata and some giraffes that liked string quartet music. 🎶

[@gailmarie4039]

What an EXCELLENT IDEA, and I can’t believe no one has thought of piping music before. I wonder why no noise reducing materials are used in shelters. The constant cacophony isn’t only limited to the day, so true rest is not attainable. Even the ceiling would help maybe? Thanks for all you do !

[@annefischer1433]

@@dougd2723 so glad you were able to rescue her can't imagine how anyone can mistreat a gold in a special because they're so calm and gentle and I rescued one has been many years now losing her teeth very old her name was Dolly took care of her for as long as I could and even when she got trapped by a malicious neighbor play they tried to prosecute me but thankfully the attorney was very smart and the person taking the charge out against me had no legal right to do so because he didn't own the property. But that was so stressful for her on a cold January night and it was nothing I could do. She survived and I kept her several more months one weekend I went away for a conference how much she decided basically to check out. My son and his father had to load her up using the bucket of his tractor . I believe she passed in our basement since I wasn't there I am not sure of the exact circumstances. She was a big dog and they moved her to a burial site on family property.

[@Razm-a-Tazzi]

You, Rocky, clearly make Wang happy, too! I love you and all the great work you do for dogs! That is why I became a Member. I want to help you save dogs and give them a chance! We have three rescues and love them so much. When we were young and first married we tried to adopt dogs and the rescue groups were so obnoxious and so demanding of perfection, we quit trying and we bought puppies, We loved them all but we, finally, thanks to our daughter, started looking for rescues again. We love our rescues just as much as we loved the dogs we bought! Thank you for all you do, Rocky!

[@CarleenFoisey]

So happy for Wang ! It's not good for any dog or cat to be in a shelter for a year. But, for a German Shepherd, it's truly heartbreaking. They need a person. I owned 3 Shepherds. I'm so surprised he didn't end up with mental health issues. Shepherds NEED a job, and positive mental stimulation. He has THE most soulful eyes I have ever seen !! ❤️🐾

[@wombat.6652]

In the start of the vid he was four years old. He had spent a quarter of his life in the shelter!!! So glad he is adopted.

[@falictyelliott8752]

​@@wombat.6652 , That's exactly what I thought! He's been in the shelter for 4 years, poor darling, so that means he's spent AN ENTIRE QUATER of his precious life "behind bars" so to speak (thank goodness the shelter has loving carers who did their best to keep him going, all that time) but, good heavens! A quater of this innocent, noble, deeply feeling, deeply thinking, highly intelligent and deeply aware sentient being's LIFE - I think he was rescued right on the brink of that "shelter environment " breaking his spirit, in the nick of time.

[@juliepritchett5537]

Rocky, I come from the Central Valley of California and our daughter worked in the office of a packing shed in Exeter. One day a couple of girls who worked down in the packing shed came into the office with a grocery bag with a puppy in it and asked her to call the SPCA so of course she called Mom. By the time I got there our daughter and a man who worked there and taken him out to one of the big plastic bins and used water to remove some of the fleas. I came with Frontline and sprayed him with it and watched the fleas coming out to the ends of his hair and falling off. The girls told Melissa that he had been in the park for 3-4 days and nights he was also about 4 to 5 weeks old. He was a German Shepherd mix and I instantly in love with him. I had a Rottweiler named Gunther who was the sweetest dog in the world. I named the new one Bugs and he and Gun became best friends. Bugs never grew as big as a German Shepherd but he had a heart as big as Texas. That was 30 years ago and I still miss both of them with all my heart. I hope that Wang was adopted and they love him dearly. Thank you for what you do.

I love dogs, animals. The other day I went to pick up somebody from a house I never been to. This huge Rotweiler came to the fence and I touched his head, stroking him and chatting to him. He is a beautifúl dog. The owner came out and her jaw dropped. She said - how did you do that? He would take off your hand! She watched as he kept on pushing his head into my hand. I was not scared and never felt that he will bite me. I just felt a loving dog wanting love from me. I believe dogs can feel your real feelings about them. My first thought when I saw this dog was to get out of my car and saying hallo to him. He is so powerful and so beautiful.

We brought home a Border Collie that had been hanging around a mall for a few days... We opened our car door and she jumped right in. We tried to find it's owner but ended up keeping her for 12 years. Lots of good/bad stories about her but we'd do it again :)

More treats & more Pupdates...yes, please!! ❤️🐾🐾

[@elsiestormont1366]

I have been waiting for THIS Pupdate for soooo long! Wayne (aka Wang) was the boy who inspired me to become a member. I couldn't get a t-shirt, but then Rocky suggested joining the channel to help. Perfect solution! A few dollars a month and I get to help while I follow these beautiful dogs! So over the top happy for Wayne! GSDs are the best and Wayne is the BEST of the best! Enjoy your furrever family buddy!

I think poor little Katey has been on the street all alone her entire young life. It breaks my heart to think she was taken away from her mom and left on the street, not knowing how to provide for herself and it took a whole year before somebody saved her.

[@lisaschwarz-funke5176]

Katie is so cute. She reminds me of my beloved Melli who passed away from brain cancer in 2022. Melli was a rescue from Turkey and a real angel as says her proper name "Melek".

[@jazc2022]

I'm So Sorry for your Loss, but I know Melli is watching over you!!!

[@elizabethrose1766]

All the dogs are so gorgeous but my heart went out to the last pup Katie , my heart melted and the tears fell … I just wanted to reach through the screen and make her sadness go away … i live over the pond but if I were there she would be mine ! Just love what you do

[@KimLucas-xh9wv]

I can't believe Wang has been there for so long... he's a beautiful soul. I just knew your video would touch someone and what an awesome family. They are treating him with kindness and understanding 🙏😇. Thanks for all you do😊

[@rustybones5540]

Wang looks regal.....Rocky, thank you for being an ambassador for dogs. For being an intercedant for these beautiful souls. All they want is to love and be loved.❤❤❤❤❤

[@3orion33]

Yes, German Shepherd dogs ARE highly intelligent....beautiful and easily trained and very loyal and happiest bonding with another dog or human.

[@DespairDoctor]

Katie was brave from the word go

[@vanessaarroyo7751]

I see Hound. My uncle owned Hounds and she looks like a hound puppy. Welcome Dori and hope & pray you go to a loving family.

[@debbie4503]

We had a family German Shepherd dog from before I could remember. She passed away when I was 15. She was the sweetest dog ever. Her name was Lady, short for Lady Jane. I love German Shepherds.

[@helenm6732]

Thank you for sitting with dogs and lowering everyone’s bp and anxiety.

[@Morelove4ever8]

Dori looks like a whole different dog! She just needed a lot of love and good human!

[@plainjane333]

Dory’s video stuck with me. I just love her grumpy looking face 😍 so glad she was adopted!

[@CherylCantrell-d3m]

Those eyes are so heartbreaking it shows how unhappy he is God bless him and you 💔 🙏

[@Lore1968]

That square nose. That is such a pure bred. My great grandpa use to train the German police dogs. So I have never been afraid of them. I think people think they are violent but these dogs can be trained through their whole lives. My dog just heard the barking and she is looking for the dogs lol.

[@gabrielewunderer6407]

Aaaaaw - this is soooo heartwarming!!

[@Mommaslew]

Honestly, Rocky…I watched the original video of this poor guy. His eyes had me in tears. So telling. To think he went a year without the love and touch he needs. Absolutely heartbreaking. Ty for what you and your wife do. You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@lavonnehensley9993]

Loved this. We have a Shepherd, Palu, He just barely turned three. He has double dew claws. One darker eye, his ears point in. He honestly looks so much like Batman He points his nose in the air and howls when the dogs make noise on your show. It is hilarious!

[@ceceliarussell-jayne2447]

Yay Wang!! Part for the community who prayed for his adoption I hope he has the happiest life.

[@begrackled]

I could see it before Rocky even got in the kennel with Katie -- that's a sweetie and a snuggler. Sometimes you can just tell.

[@lorrieshigley3625]

The puppy is a peach colored Border Collie mix!! Great great sweet and affectionate,working dog!!! This puppy is a diamond in the rough!!!! Save this sweet baby.

[@annalienpretorius1498]

I love the happiness on your face when you succeed with doing something that could be rejected. A dog taking a treat from your open hand puts a happy smile on your face and that is so wonderful.

[@kimgamble5829]

I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to the store and not watching this video😂😂😂😂 I just can't stop myself😊

[@kathleennorton2228]

Same here, exactly!

[@grits8284]

We own 6 grown German Shepherds. We breed them and are very selective to who we sell our puppies to. So far, after 15 years of breeding, we have only one family that failed to keep in touch with us and send pictures of the dogs as they grow up. We have a 5 star rating, and we love all our fur babies. We live getting all the puctures and pisting them on our website. We ask all our families to please let us know if there is ever a need to rehome them to let us take them back. A good home is the most important thing to us

[@actuariallurker9650]

Wang looks like such a nice dog such a wonderful woman to adopt him

[@karenmassie1239]

German Shepherds have a regal stature and eyes that can tell stories. They are beautiful dogs for sure.

[@nancyheneghan4760]

He is so beautiful! I would take him in a heartbeat! Just want to give him hugs. I live on the east coast 😢. I hope he gets his perfect home asap. Can’t believe he’s been in there for a year.

[@pobstrel]

He got adopted.

[@PickleDoll432]

Dory - is a sweetheart.
