My girl Gracie was almost feral when I rescued her. After a few weeks I told my wife, I'm not sure if we can keep her if she is baring down and growling every time we would enter the room. But she would hide behind me, sleep by head in the bed, and slowly she started coming out of her shell. Eventually she became the best big sister and would help me with other troubled rescue dogs. I used to joke, she was 80% crazy when we got her and she was maybe 10% crazy when she passed. We had over ten years together and she was my amazing Crazy Gracie. Thank you for believing in the dogs in need! You inspire me with every video I watch!

What a wonderful story - LOVE your name so funny!

I had a pigeon like that. He loved me in the end. Keeping a dog that hates me bothers me as I've been kept by ppl id rather murder than live around a lot

@@erssiemajor8010 That is an amazing story!

[@cpgodfrey914]

@@erssiemajor8010 thank you for sharing your story! I just replied with something similar that dogs act in an aggressive manner because they are scared or trained to be that way. It’s so sad because no person or animal should live in fear & I hate that so many are put down unnecessarily. It absolutely breaks my heart but thanks to people such as yourselves give some a chance 🥰

[@cpgodfrey914]

TheDoggILama Aww, I’m sorry you lost her bug it’s so wonderful you persevered & didn’t give up. I think something a lot of us humans don’t realize, is that dogs act on a way that might be viewed as “vicious” or problematic because they are just scared. It takes time for them to learn to trust again & it’s so rewarding to hear stories like yours! Animals, especially dogs have so much love to give us!!!! Thank you for sharing!

I have a Mexican street dog also🤗 I have been a foster for the last 10 years. My husband and I have fostered about 80 dogs, mostly pregnant and litters. We have actually adopted 4 pups. The last litter of mom, sister and 5 one week old puppies. At 9 weeks everyone was adopted but Momma kept coming back (being returned). She didn’t seem to get along with the male adopters they would say. We ended up adopting her into our pack. She has grown to love my husband. It took some time but she has grown into a loving pup that has grown to except her dad and insists on sleeping between my husband and I and I also realized when she’s happy she “smiles”. Some of the adopters thought she was showing her teeth as a sign of aggression. So far from it! She is a smiler! Unfortunately she wasn’t understood and her time on the street made her cautious and to some scary but she has grown to be the most intuitive and loving girl. She’s my baby for sure!

My neighbor goes for cancer treatment every Friday 3 hours away, so I bring their pit bull and Labrador to my house to play with my Golden Retriever and Min Pin. The Pit Bull, doesn’t really like anyone but them and me. But like you I had to learn a different language of love. I constantly kiss my dogs but the Pitt doesn’t want anyone near his face, but will lean on me and loves to cuddle when he spends the night.

[@missteacup9726]

When you introduced Shelby/Sharkey to us, you said: "now I get to show him what life is all about, what being a dog is all about." You've delivered. Big time. And Shelby knows it! He will love you till his last breath for giving him this precious gift called A PERFECT LIFE. Thank you for being you🙏.

Do you think one day you could explain the whole sleeping arrangement at night with all the dogs?? Are there certain dogs that expect to sleep on your bed every night? Are there certain dogs that have to sleep next to the same dog every night? Do the dogs all go down at the same time?

This! I have been wondering the same thing because I have 7 “foster fails” in my pack, whom I call “the midget mafia” because they somehow all ended up being small breeds… (I never knew I could even be a small dog person) but anyway the ONLY time we have attitude problems is when they are all jockeying for the prime sleeping spots next to me….

You need to adopt more street dogs. They are the best. I've a whole pack from Romania. They've been through so much, all of mine were shut down, aggressive or utterly terrified. Love and patience really is all it takes, and being able to watch them blossom is the most amazing experience. They are so incredibly grateful to be able to be the dog they were always meant to be. Its actually more usual that street dogs are dog friendly - constant fights on the streets ends up in death. Easier for them to survive out there if they can tolerate each other. Get more street dogs! Love your work dude, if I could do the same in Scotland, dammit, that'd be a dream come true.

[@minnaviklund330]

I have two street dogs from Romania too! But I haven't had those problems with them, they actually behave quite well. One of them is a bit protective though, but I don't mind, might come handy one day 😊

[@cremebrulee4759]

Thank you so much for giving these dogs a safe and loving home.

[@elena-cosminamelinte3299]

I live in Romania and thanks for adopting those abused babies. Unfortunately people here are mean and treat animals like objects. We have a lot to learn as a nation on how to treat animals and the solution that the government offers is euthanasia which is a lot worse. There are very few free spay and neuter programs and most of the people here are so ignorant that consider spaying and neutering a sin, but have no problem on dumping new born babies and mamas on the side of the road. I try to do what i can, i rescue mostly stray cats and donate to organizations that try to bring a bit of light and education to the ignorant people from here.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

@@elena-cosminamelinte3299 it's corruption in local government, sadly. I believe Romania gets money from the EU to deal with the stray population. That money should be put into spay/neuter programs but if they did that, the problem would be solved and the money would stop. So they don't want it to stop, they pocket the cash and let the problem persist. If y'all could get together and demand transparency from your local councils, about the funding they receive it might help. Problem is, going up against corrupt government officials isn't always very safe. Fucking politicians.....the real blame always lies with them.

Shelby had a hard life just like most of your dogs and it took awhile for him to know that he is safe with dad.

Shelby is.a very special soul and it is not unusual for a street dog to bond strongly with only one or two people once they are off the street. They learn early on not to trust because of the way they are treated by people when they are only trying to survive. Shelby, with your love and understanding, is living his best life!💕

I am enthralled by these Pack Walk Talks! He should combine them into a book, I'd buy it in a heart beat! So much insight and empathy and even wisdom - the ultimate dog whisperer. (And that's coming from a cat person who has never owned a dog in her life! 😉) ❤️

[@maureenobrien9661]

I had a female "Shelby"....she was an abused street dog. In her whole life which when she lived with me was filled with love, she only allowed 3 or 4 people to touch her. We could never surprise her coming from behind, we could not touch her below mid back and she would bite anyone - and did - who was not allowed to touch her. She was like this for 14 years...she hated other dogs, but my dogs all learned to avoid her. I was devastated when I lost her a couple of years ago. There was something about this badly abused street dog trusting me so profoundly when she trusted almost no one else was so rewarding. She was a beautiful dog...similar to a Shiba Inu...all golden with golden eyes. My best protector. Miss you to this day golden girl, Judy, with those amazing yellow eyes. Hope you have learned to like other dogs over the rainbow bridge!

Sometimes I worry that some dogs go off on their own in the woods, or fall behind on these walks. But I trust someone is keeping tabs on everyone, and making sure everyone gets home safely. My boy is such a hunter that I know he would be a mile into the woods before I could even turn around!

[@milliezavala8247]

Right? I wondered about that too...

[@catherinebiermann7940]

I think they are so bonded with the pack that they don’t tend to go off on their own. You can see that even when there is a side road 4 or 5 will go down and then Lee calls them back and they all come together. They are by nature animals that want to be with their pack.

Plus he is so educated & has taken the time to train each one that I’m sure it’s highly unlikely they are going to run off. They’re one big happy family & have no reason to want to “escape.” I’m sure he wouldn’t take one of them if he thought there was any chance of that anyway. Besides being bonded to Lee, they’re bonded to their siblings! If he was my Daddy I certainly wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!

He knew love in his life for the first time.

[@mariebella26]

Oh GOODNESS, dear Lee! 😭😭😭😭😭 You reminded me of one of my most heart-wrenching losses... My baby Max was living nearby in an abusive environment. The piece of land owners were merely exploiting the huge tribe. The doggies were not taken care of in any way, not even fed... I started feeding them. In the very beginning, all the other dogs were too anxious except for one girl (who trusted me and asked for rubbing her belly from the very first time we met) and Max who was too aggressive without attacking me, though. After months of patience and feeling unconditionally loved, my son Max started running in my direction when I showed up and doing zoomies! Then after eating, he used to approach me for hugs and kisses... One night, at 1:30 am, I heard such a striking noise that awakened me! I immediately went to check and found Max (a BIG boy and the alpha) motionless and looking at me. I instantly knew something was very wrong and carried his heavy body to the emergency clinic. It was only 30 min after the crash. He passed away two minutes after we arrived... I had a hysterical crying session and I am still processing my grief which is extremely difficult because of the cruelty of the monster who hit him and was only concerned about his car. I wanted to see him in extreme pain more times than I can even count...

Hey, love your relationship with the dogs. I am sure you are very experienced with blind dogs and I know Shelby isn’t totally blind. My border collie, Zoey, went blind in her later life and granted, she was a border collie but I found that talking to her when we were out walking in the woods, we always kept to a familiar path and I would say to watch to your left, right, etc. Remember, she was a border collie… smarter than most humans! Lol. Plus, I found that my other dog, even though they wet not the best of friends, would watch out for her, too. I am sure if Shelby’s vision gets worse, the pack will watch out for him. Love all your pack, but I am especially partial to your big guys…. I have Great Dane/Mastiff mix, Delilah, who is my great protector. She is a teddy bear but she is always watchful for my safety. Have a great day.

THANK YOU 🙏 so much for the Shelby “Sharky” update. There was something about him, and I just knew he needed you. I was a bit worried how he would get along. I really appreciate this update. I send love to all of you (especially Shelby) and do enjoy the walks to the creek!!!! You are amazing!!

I lost my girl 6 months ago, August 28th. She was my world! My EVERYTHING! My business n mission statement was based on her. We were inseparable. I have never been so in sync with anything in my life! Lymphoma stole my Ellie Bellies from me, right in front of my eyes, slowly a little at a time until she told me it was time for her. I know she is still with me.

My Dad rescued a Pit-Charpei mix when I was 12-13 yrs old from being fought. Both of his parents were fought & it was in his DNA. Well only us who lived in the house he was fine with but someone he didn't know NOPE! If we brought him inside & I had a friend over we'd have them sit on the couch & let Louie sniff em out & he was always fine. But if we weren't with him we didn't trust him to not bite someone. He did turn out to be a really great 🐕. I played tug of war with him having the rope in my mouth which freaked my Dad out to no end but Louie was always gentle with me. He passed away when I was 27 years old at 15 1/2. I totally get why people say a dog doesn't know how to be a dog especially when they come from puppy mills & have only been in cages all their lives!

Happy to see an update on Sharkie/Shelby! The video when you met him really touched my heart and I am so happy to see that he has adjusted and loves being part of your pack!♥️

[@thea1rachiel]

Love hearing about the way the dogs interact off camera with Lee, the way he views his individual relationships with each dog is fascinating.

[@janree75]

I adopted from Family Dogs way back in ‘07. This was a dog who also didn’t know how to be a dog. She didn’t know she could lay down next to me so she would just stand on the couch as close as she could, even though she kept drifting off and jerking herself awake. Once she learned she could lay down she would growl and snap if I moved and it jostled her. It was a slow process but she grew into the best dog who loved everyone! I was so grateful to be a part of that transformation.

Shelby came out of her shell!

I would love to give Roger the Great Dane a super forever home so badly I’m all alone at home now and I hate it at nighttime most of all I know his story been following him for a long time now and would so love to spoil and love him for the rest of our lives!!! He’d be so super happy!!!! 🥰 Roger I love u buddy!!!

I Just Love You.. What a Great Humane And Human Being You ARE!

[@melindashepard7046]

I’m glad you mentioned Pom Poms - I was worried something happened- but now I understand my Poms never wanted to go out either I always had to carry her in a doggy pouch because she got to tired and hot. I’m glad you let them decided whether to go or not. All your dogs are amazing but your so right about it only takes one dog to become aggressive in a pack and the others follow. Best be safe than sorry! Shelby is happy with you and knows your intend is not to harm. Amazing person you are!! Thanks to you and your staff for all you do😊

[@alifeintransition9782]

I love the way you treat your dogs with respect and dignity. You respect their boundaries and they show it by loving you and standing in long lines just to get your kisses. Treat dogs well they will shower you with love.is the message I get over and over in your videos and pictures.

[@laizagomez1184]

I have a street dog named Troy (got him from the Human Society in Yuma) and this video reminded me of my son Troy. He doesn't trust others but he trusts my husband and I. He is so sweet, smart and loving. I treasure your dog....so beautiful!

[@vtee361]

Love how the Anatolian Shepherd ( sorry can’t remember r his name) is always scouting around the pack ensuring they are all accounted for.

[@andiea5743]

That was fantastic, Lee. Thank you so much! I'm one of those people that have been dying to hear about Shelby. I'm am so happy he is doing so well. I also appreciate hearing that the dogs that are not on the walk chose not to join. I've wondered when I don't see someone. How far is it from the house to the creek? I can imagine it might be a bit much for little Pom Poms.

[@adriannenash9852]

I always wonder about where pom-poms is so I am happy to her she's doing well and just doesn't feel like taking long walk. Hey Lee, maybe carry her in a doggie backpack so she can hang with the pack once you get to the creek? Just a thought....be well from Washington state ❤️

[@andiea5743]

@@adriannenash9852 I thought the same thing - carry her to the creek. I think the sights, sounds and smells would be good for her. Also from WA State. :)

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

Shelby is so blessed to be with your pack. I love him. Love his looks as well. Thank you again for rescuing him.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

I'm so glad you changed his name..it shows he's left that hard life behind him and is embarking on his TRUE LIFE with you and your pack.. Shelby is a good name..as i live in Birmingham 🇬🇧 I am aware of the Peakys as this is where they're from..about a couple of miles from me..their pub was The Garrison on Garrison Lane.. so pleaded that he is settled and happy.. he knows you rescued him and is showing that loyalty and that he doesn't have to fight to survive anymore because he knows his dad will do that for him..God bless you Lee..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐈🐕🐵🐺🐏🐐🐄🦃🐓🦙🐖🐃🐂🐃

[@jenniferviolette317]

I love this video! Shelby is a badass baby!!! I love how you value their individuality! You are inspiring!

[@sherryroberts7716]

Great story about Sharky/Shelby! You are truly a magician!

[@cindyhughes8945]

7/5/23 I’ve been following for about a month and been drawn in totally to you and the Asher House. Thank you for opening your heart to Shelby. She deserves your love and to have happiness in her older years. Thank you for all you do. ❤️

[@bobfromcalgary8453]

My aunt had a Chihuahua that didn’t like anyone but her and myself. It was nice that she put so much trust into us.

[@TheHoroxx]

I've seen a lot of your videos on your channel and on The Dodo today and i might turn 26 this year but when i grow up i want to be just like you. You've got the biggest heart and are a true hero for all these wonderful family members you adopted. I really hope you are able to do this for as long as possible and thank you so much for showing us all of it.

[@laurenehisaw5770]

Mr. Lee, thank you so much for all you do showing what a positive force in an animal's life can do. For showing how enriching a rescue animal can make life. Blessings to all of you !❤️

[@kimdahlquist5480]

I ❤️ your videos! It's wonderful to see the joy you have because of what you're doing! Keep helping these pups, as well as all the other critters you've saved. 😊

I love watching them in the creek. Please extend the videos a bit to show more of that.
