Wally the Tibetan Mastiffs rescue story

[@GirlWithTheDogs]

Wally was a dream to work with, and you guys are special people for saving him ❤. It was so great to meet all of you!

[@denasewell]

You are such a saint Vanessa, I love your channel and the work you do to help dogs as well as cats and even pigs. Your channel is very entertaining and uplifting!

[@samnella9]

Vanessa - We appreciate Wally's loving parents and your great job giving him the best groom ever! Any idea how old he is? Thanks.

[@meljc2823]

Your were so amazing with him.. 🐾🐾🐾🐾😌❤️

[@beauty4ashes777]

Here after watching Wally's grooming vid! ❤

[@Lillyofthevalley222]

You bought a house for him, you didn’t know it at the time and yet, somehow I like to think that Wally, trapped in that horrible cage was dreaming of a family and a home and the universe said “yup, we got this for you buddy!” ❤

[@BabyWallyBear]

he is the king of our house for sure

[@CentralasianshepherdAlabaiUSA]

There re thousands of dogs in USA in USDA approved puppy mills living life in way smaller crates,and people do support it by buying pups from petstores

[@Splucked]

@@CentralasianshepherdAlabaiUSA Thankfully, that practice is banned in Boston. A huge amount of activism is required, though, to get it banned nationwide.

[@CentralasianshepherdAlabaiUSA]

@@Splucked there are plenty bulldog n doodle breeders in Boston suburbs who keep dogs for breeding in crates for life,saw adds

[@foxibot]

⁠@@CentralasianshepherdAlabaiUSAthat’s so horrible.

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz9]

I just watched Wally be grommed. Tysm for saving Wally. You drove 8 hours to have him groomed. Thank you

[@justinaprima9495]

I loved watching you from this big bundle of love!

[@veni.vidi.reliqui7946]

Here from watching his groom on Girl With the Dogs. What a magnificent dog! How many things that had to fall into place for his life to be changed so completely amazes me! Amazing story! Quite frankly, if Vanessa could not save that coat- no one could ! She is a miracle worker! Good luck to you all!🥰❤️

[@BabyWallyBear]

Agreed! We went to her for this reason 🥰

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

Same here. Love dogs. Wish I had more acreage for a big dog. Had a south African bull mastiff for a short time.

[@claudiacanales2662]

I’m in awe. This story is so touching. I’m so happy that Wally’s life changed because of your love for him!

[@Dan-xx5jq]

me too!

[@cullenandkericaldwell5951]

You guys are so very special!! So much love in your heart. I watched Wally get groomed and it was amazing! Every life matters. You saw that in Wally and indeed rescued him and now he is deeply loved and accepted. ❤

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

I'm here like a lot of others. From watching Vanessa grooming the big dude. Your dedication to the well-being of Wally attests to a person with a heart full of love. You are a true human being.

[@BabyWallyBear]

We love our sweet Wally boy

[@inanimatecarbongod]

Yet another visitor from Girl With the Dogs. Wally is a spectacular gentleman.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Just love Wally! I'm amazed that he was so laid-back with Vanessa. He's a beautiful boy even shaved.

[@BabyWallyBear]

He knows a kind soul when he sees one

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

@@BabyWallyBear I'm wondering if he isn't a mix -- he doesn't seem to have the jowls (and the drool that goes with those jowls).

[@takashiross8553]

Seeing this dog in a cage was so heartbreaking. Thank you for rescuing Wally!

[@FablesTold]

I love him so much, look at how he lets the baby walk him, that's so precious.

[@anng.4542]

And the infant cuddled up next to him! 🥰

[@BabyWallyBear]

we are little besties🥰

[@aandjintucsonazusa9490]

Thank you angels for saving and loving, gorgeous and desperate Wally, and congratulations on having your beautiful baby. You are all a wonderful family!!!

[@nathanielepps]

So happy Wally found such an amazing forever home! His story had me tearing up. Taking on a the challenge of caring for a Tibetian Mastiff is no simple task, and you rose to the occasion beautifully. Wally is one lucky pup to have found such compassionate and dedicated rescuers. Your love and commitment are truly inspiring. Thank you for making a difference in Wally's life and reminding us of the power of kindness.

[@rondameier8168]

There is a saying "saving one dog may not save the world but for that one dog his world has been saved"..... You guys did that. And he's an amazing dog. Watching his groom just a few minutes ago and how calm and peaceful he was during the entire process just shows your dedication to him. Thank you, from one dog pawrent to another set of pawrents..... Ps... The bond is different and so are dogs, who are rescued. They know they were helped and show their appreciation in a different way.....

[@catherineklein1808]

Just watched girl with the dogs grooming your handsome boy! Bless you for taking him and sharing his story!

[@mortalclown3812]

Saw y'all on The Dodo® and fell in love with your boy and your beautiful story. Thank you for helping pups and for saving Wally. Sending extra angels and blessings to your family. May you have many, many wonderful years together. Paz y luz. ✨🐾💙🍃🌏⛩️🐕🙏✨

[@shaulaarayata9613]

Just watched wally being groomed in the girl with dogs❤❤❤

[@TheBaroness]

ME TOO....How Marvellous was the rescue and then later Vanessa's Girl With The Dogs Video with Wally! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@carolg.6838]

Love the story. You were able to fly dogs back with you. Rescue this dog by notifying the rescue group. Then adopted this dog and trained her. And she is wonderful with your babies. And the perfect name...Great Wall(y) of China. The best souvenir.

[@aesaphyr]

He's absolutely gorgeous, and I am so glad you saw and rescued him. Poor pupper! But he's clearly in a great home now.

[@Emzzz78]

I’m not much of a dog person, but Wally would change my mind. I’ve had German shepherds most of my life until 2018 when I lost my bestest girl. She was my last, for now. My point is, I understand how delicate a double coat is for a large breed dog. While it’s hardy, it can be damaged so easily without even thinking, if someone who isn’t aware of it shaves it off. I’m glad you guys have a work around for Wally so he stays cool in the summer. So many people don’t realize that a dogs fur (double coated) keeps them warm in the winter and helps to cool them off in the summer, if it’s not damaged. Thank you for sharing him with us. Also, your video made me realize how long ago Covid came about. You guys were busy during that time. Two babies and a dog really puts the time into perspective when it feels like just yesterday we were all on lockdown and afraid. You have a beautiful family.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

How can you say you are not much of a dog person, after this amazing comment, friend? You are. We all are, we just don’t know it. And cat people, and animal people in general. After all, we is animals too. Really nice comment, thank you for leaving it; you seem like a pretty special soul.

[@leftymagoo2710]

That’s a rescue story! I’m 100% sure Wally the Wall of China dog truly appreciates the ❤️and care that you give to him. A match made in doggie heaven. Congratulations and the best of luck to your growing family.

[@Hexcaliblur83]

I just watched Wally getting groomed and had to see more of this big handsome boy ❤❤ im so glad hes living a good life now 😁👍🇦🇺

[@bgross685]

I saw that Wally got his first Tim Hortons. He's officially a honorary Canadian now 🇨🇦

[@Reincarnation111]

Wally is so handsome and he was such a good boy when he was being groomed. Unbelievable amount of fur....I wonder if it was discarded? A blanket could be made of it. I thought it was gorgeous.

[@charise773]

I just watched Wally's groom on girl with dogs. I just want to say thank you for being awesome and self sacrificing. You all are so cool.❤

[@deirdrecorey3876]

I saw Wally's grooming session.... I've always loved big dogs. I would mush his face EVERYDAY!!!! It's hard for cold weather dogs during the summer... I noticed that even in Alaska.... THAT 1ST SNOWFALL IS THEIR HAPPY TIME LOL😊

[@margodphd]

You guys are an example to others - showing that it's never impossible to *do something* to help an animal in need. Language barrier, foreign country far away - but you didn't give up. Not on saving him, not on training him. Seeing him happy and so calm during his groom was wonderful. He behaves much more like a giant golden retriever than a feared guard dog despite what he went through which is a wonderful testament to the transforming power of unconditional,wise love. I wish all Your family the best of the best - I bet snuggling with him in heaven already ❤️

[@BabyWallyBear]

snuggling with him is the best. Compassion and grace go a very long way💘

[@Chinkycoffeecat]

I am here while watching the episode from Girl with the dogs. Wally is so behaved but too bad his hair had to be shaved due to heavy matting. God bless the furparents that rescued Wally. Wishing Wally and his furever family good health

[@juliej5917]

I’m dog CRAZY, and just knowing his rescue story and how the stars aligned for EVERYTHING Wally makes me know dogs should run the world. Knowing he and family are in Massachusetts with ME gave me the chills! I grew up in Melrose and currently live on five glorious acres in Deerfield. If you ever need a free dog sitter, I’m up for it. 🎉🎉🎉

[@BabyWallyBear]

it's my world now. the humans just live in it.... haha we love our Wally boy

[@BrittsGeodeK9s]

New sub here. Thank you for giving this wonderful bear a chance. Just watched his Girl with dogs episode as well as this video and the difference is ASTOUNDING. He looks like a goodest boy

[@nanyanghuayi]

Great minds think alike 😅Me too: watched GWTD n come over here, n subscribe without much ado 😊

[@emilydelcastillo4351]

I, too, just watched Vanessa groom Wally. He is such a gentle giant🥰I'm so glad the stars aligned and you're all one big happy family.

[@65leapfrog]

What a cool story! Thank you for rescuing him. He is beautiful.❤

[@nessagatten4368]

Just watched Wally's groom with Vanessa. God bless you guys. Even though the stars aligned, not everyone would have done all that you have. It is so obvious he is a healthy and happy boy now. Your daughters have the best nanny dog there could ever be. Can't wait to see more from you guys!

[@Chiquita18852]

Hi!! I came from Girl with the Dogs and I just had to run to your channel to check Wally's story. It brings tears to my eyes to know that he's being loved and taken care of by an amazing family. I can't wait to see more awesome videos and shorts ❤.

[@celeste8389]

Loved watching Wally's groom...he was so patient and well behaved. Love the rescue story, and how he loves your children...❤❤

[@greggminkoff6733]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm a sucker for those storybook endings. My current dog is a Chow Chow. He is my 18th dog and my 5th Chow Chow in my 74 years. He was 3½ when I rescued him. He was the largest Chow Chow I have ever seen. He was skin and bones at 65 lb. He was shaved like a lion because his coat was matted. Now 5 years later he's 120 lb with a mane like a lion and a full-grown out coat. FYI: For people owning dogs with long thick hair it is important to provide the nutrients for hair growth. A supplement of cooked sweet potatoes is what is needed for a lustrous coat.

[@japkap]

Just watched the Girl with the Dogs video with Wally's haircut amazing how calm he seemed through that whole process a few times with the ears he was not happy it seemed but besides that very calm.

[@nancychestnut8928]

Such a sad dog now in loving hands. Rescue is so important, not just for the dogs but humans too! Thank you for your efforts. Now he can live.

[@MrPuddinhead61]

I love watching @GirlWithTheDogs, and I found your channel through her grooming of Wally. What a wonderful family story! I love dogs and I love the people who rescue and care about them. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with Wally. And your babies are darling. 🥰

[@r.mcbride2837]

Handsome boy! Wow! And what a big floof! It must be like snuggling a big shag carpet. Haha! I'm guessing some "purists" got cranky about shaving the poor guy. I'd ignore all that noise. What's important is Wally's health and comfort.

[@Suzi64grad]

Vanessa sent me here! What a beautiful story! I am 78 this year and rescued a senior Maltese Mix! I feel since I am a senior I will give a senior a home!

[@thetruepatriot7733]

I just watched his grooming video, he's a sweetheart! I was amazed by how patient and gentle he was during the uncomfortable groom. The "flight buddy" program is a fantastic idea! What a great way to ship dogs to the USA, Canada, or other countries! If I ever travel to China, I will definitely volunteer to fly a dog to his new home! Thank you for saving him and giving him a second chance at life! ❤❤❤

[@tonjiakyle3236]

I watch Vanessa. She is a great groomer and person. Wally is adorable. Thank you for rescuing him.

[@charliesmith3217]

Great story, your family and the groomer deserve great kudos for going the extra thousands of miles to provide him with his forever home. Please keep us posted on Wally's adventures and your family's amazing love for this beautiful beast. (I used beast affectionately)

[@PamMinnick]

I have sad tears and happy tears, you two are amazing! It was meant to be and now he will get to live his best life with the best family. He was so well behaved during his groom with girl with dogs and how I found your channel.

[@quinnbennettpelkey]

Like a lot of others, I watched his groom and then came here. I absolutely love watching him just melt into the floor in the most lazy boy way lol. In his cage in China, he's always standing. He was probably in so much pain that he couldn't sit. Now he can be lazy and melt into the floor as much as he wants. You're helping him be comfortable physically and mentally. Wishing you many years of joy with your fur baby 🥰

[@rcar9115]

That is the most gorgeous wooly mammoth that I have ever seen. Thank you for having enormous hearts filled with compassion. You are amazing!

Thank you so much for saving this sweetheart, he was meant for your family. I love that he'll live his best life now and be the best big brother to two sweet girls. What a fabulous family you have, sending all my love to fluffy Wally

I just watched the grooming video! I'm so glad that you've got someone in your corner to help get Wally's coat to hopefully grow back to normal. I also can't believe you guys only live about an hour away from me- so it's like a local legend, living so nearby! I'm so glad you've saved him, and that he gets to live like a king for the rest of his life!

Your kids will remember Wally and his story and be advocates like you long after you are gone ! What’s wonderful story and THANK YOU ! I have rescued a number of older rough collies who has bad starts and I understand about the cost ! I had to have a few clipped every spring . The groomers are so good now … they can leave an inch like you do and not shave them down . So it all works out fine . Wally looks so happy

[@juliahaynie764]

I’m so glad that you have Wally in your lives! We have a rescue African mastiff who also was impacted a lot by Covid shutdowns. (She had just started being able to meet other dogs successfully, and then everything shit down, and now she’s just a cranky senior who adores the humans she spent time with during the pandemic, but wants everyone else to go away.) I think she and Wally would probably be kindred souls!
