What you've done for Charlie is nothing short of incredible. He was so much more open to interaction with people after you sat with him. Another Tuesday, another life saved by your kindness.

Is the Chocolate Lab still available? I'm only over in Nevada...I can come get him in a day or two after you tell me, okay? I have one Black Lab and several cats ( I do TNR and rescue).

Rocky, posted separately. If you look, my husband and I will take Charlie if we can get him to Illinois. We are retired, empty nesters, both our dogs passed away last summer within 3 weeks of each other. It broke my heart, and I have not wanted to get another dog until I saw Charlie. We can give him the home and love he needs. We live in a rural area😂 on an acre of land with a full fenced in back yard. Temperpedic dog beds waiting, several lab cousins to play with when he's ready, healthy homemade food, lots of pets and adventures, and an immeasurable amount of love to give. Can you get us any info about flying animals through airlines coach or private airline services? I wouldn't know where to begin. Hey Rocky, you could bring him to us! Check out where Charlie is going to live and play and eat as well as visit some wonderful shelters in our area as well as quite a few breeders. You might find it interesting! Take care 😊

My family and I rescued a chocolate lab who was moments away from being put down, and my mother decided that wasn’t going to happen and we sped over there and adopted him. He had been blinded by his previous owner who gave him horse medicine to heal his heart worms. But he’s in a much better home with us now, and even though he’s blind he knows his way around our house

[@lisamrb4620]

I’ve had labradors all of my life (I’m 54), and I’ve never, ever seen one act like this. It’s just heartbreaking! This poor boy has obviously been neglected and abused. How could anyone treat an animal so horribly?! I have a yellow male lab right now, as well as a cream colored male Frenchie. All a Labrador wants to do is love you and be with you. I really hope and pray that someone sees that precious boy and adopts him, and loves him to pieces! If I lived closer to you, I live in Michigan, I would come and get him. Thank you so much for all that you do, too.

We started keeping check on her sugar, giving her shots n the right food for diabetics. She only lived about a year n a half but she finally got up to 58lbs n her coat was gorgeous! Better looking then our other dogs! She was such a sweetheart❤❤❤ I just dont understand how people can abuse n neglect any animal!

Interesting work with the Chocolate Labrador. Good observations, like he just wanted to escape the room...because you were in it. Also, that he had such abnormal behavior for a normally happy, kind dog type. How nice Charlie responded to peace, a bath, kindness, etc. Enjoyed the work for Wednesday and that the Golden Retriever got a home.

It really depends where you live. In my county the shelter is usually pretty empty. Probably 80% of the runs are empty. Most of the dogs they do have are pit bulls/mixes. My county really probably should be bringing in out of county dogs because they have such a nice facility being underused.

Its a great thing for people to understand what it means to be reactive. The dogs do not act out on purpose. There’s always an underlying reason.

[@inceneration]

The fact is that NO dog is born aggressive or depressed. Its the owner who mistreats the animals. It should be a law that to own a dog or any form of animal that you would need a 4 weeks course on how to treat and train the dog. Learn how to read the dogs signs.

I'm so glad Wednesday and Teddy got adopted! They deserve it! 😄 I just hope the other dogs get adopted as well, especially Charlie. 🤞

I love chocolate labs. I had two. One I raised from a puppy (she was the runt and I got her cheap.... such a great dog), the other one I got from someone who traveled a lot and left their poor chocolate in a small kennel. When we got her, she was full of flees and could barely walk. It was pitiful. She soon learned to run and play with our other lab (and of course we took care of the flea issue). She was also a great dog. These dogs are awesome!

I've just discovered your channel as a way to help me through the loss of my beloved Sophie who passed last wednesday 13th Sept. Watching this she has reappeared as Daisy in 4. She is an exact of my Sophie. Everything about her is my Sophie He colouring and mannerisms, the exact. What a shock but so good to see this "Daisy". Has made me smile again today. By the way I'm in Australia watching. Love your content, please keep posting.

I've always thought that labs have the sweetest faces on any dog I've ever seen. They have such pure, clear eyes. It's like you're able to see right into their heart. So to see how broken Charlie was and still is just breaks my heart. I hope Charlie (and all the other dogs!) find their forever home where they get the love they absolutely deserve. ♥ So much love Rocky & crew.

[@eaglebeagle1408]

We have two Choc Labs now and we love them and have had Labs in our lives since childhood. Our last Charlie passed 8 years ago sadly. I can’t think how bad a time your Charlie had but I’m in tears for the love he is getting with you guys. Well done ❤

[@monkeyorchid4081]

Poor Charlie I have never see a lab so sad, depressed and scared of everything! Someone didnt treat him right but I hope there is someone out there who will give him a chance! Maybe a home with another dog will help Charlie to start trusting again and being the happy go lucky dog he should be!

[@mcshippingsup8721]

That Lab is beautiful . His eyes are so expressive. I hope he gets a wonderful home soon. Unfortunately, I live in the Caribbean. Would have loved to adopt him.

[@terryshaw3493]

Sweet Charlie. You really helped him come out of his shell of fear. God bless you Rocky.

[@alisonsprings1340]

I had a black lab and my lab was always happy and to see Charlie like this you’re right he must’ve been very severely neglected and I’m so happy to see him get his bath and break out of his shell. I’m so happy to see him happy and feeling good and I hope he gets a good home, and he never goes to anything bad ever again please my God protect him and all of the animals.
