Poor Poppy, what jerks her previous owners, I wish they had been publicly shamed. Her cries break my heart but, she is now being loved and cared for with lots of friends, thank you Lee.

[@rockdisappeared9203]

Tbh she probably missed her children… Washable marker doesn’t hurt and she may have liked it, being quite a baby herself… because dogs aren’t truly colorblind. If a dog’s ever going to notice colors it’s as a puppy… I felt her missing the children. She doesn’t know they were doing anything wrong. She just misses their little faces and little hands that never hurt her. She was probably so confused.

[@jaeashleystewart9326]

​@@rockdisappeared9203You are SO wrong! Kids do things to animals "for fun." They don't consider the animals' feelings, safety or fear !!! I've been around animals AND kids a lot longer than you have, and you don't know what you're talking about. Your stance that "kids will be kids" is ridiculous -- what an unconscionable disregard for accountability !!!

[@greenboots_4661]

​​@@jaeashleystewart9326you are making a lot of assumptions based on nothing. You don't know a thing about how those kids interacted with that dog.

[@orepatrick3666]

@greenboots_4661 As are you to the opposite negative extreme. Under the circumstances presented in this video, a logical viewer would conclude that this newly surrendered/adopted dog is obviously whimpering because it's uncomfortable in its unfamiliar surroundings and misses what it had known before. By contrast, a newly adopted dog from a pound or shelter probably wouldn't react the same way.

I couldn't agree more they are so lucky to have found Lee! I just can't understand cruelty in any form. I have had three rescue dogs and all have been wonderful! It shows such a lack of character to be unkind. I have had such wonderful love from my three it's beyond my understanding as to why be cruel instead of loving to these gorgeous beings. So glad they're happy with Lee now!

that crying just breaks my heart and I'm a cat person.

[@LoveLyriks]

It makes me wonder if she was truly abandoned... Ive met only 2 people that just let their dogs go and treat them like trash, but I've seen several times people try to walk up and take dogs they thought were pretty. Curious because I'm seeing a lot of videos with people picking up dogs that look like they had been taken care of. I don't agree with kids coloring on a puppy, but I do know that sometimes little toddlers can get into things quickly. He still looks shiny and well fed.

I'm so glad that the family surrendered the puppy. They were not ready for a puppy. The kids learned an important lesson, I hope. Puppies aren't toys. When you mistreat an animal, the animal gets taken away.

Basset require gentle handling because they a sensitive heart .

I am constantly amazed at how animals react to Lee Asher. He is truly one of those unique souls that can charm just about any animal. A trait not all people have. I like animals and for the most part I think they like me, but for people like Lee animals love them and they love animals. It's almost like they have never met any kind of animal that they didn't love. These type of people tend to end up working with animals whether it's becoming a vet, starting a sanctuary, working with a rescue, something to do with animals. It's always a joy to watch Lee bring out the best of a broken or sad or scared animal. He is truly a miracle worker sent from heaven.
