[@peterpain6291]

My wife, my labrador ACE and I wish you a healthy 2024 and thank you for all your videos, energy you conveyed, thank you very much

[@Michellelovesanimals]

Happy New Year to you and your family Rocky ! Thank you for your kindness to animals. ❣❣❣❣

[@norarivkis2513]

She's such a sweetheart. I hope someone wonderful takes her home and loves her.

[@xxIxx6726]

Oooohhhh please, even though you are so very busy, but can you please keep us informed when Poppy either brought together again with her family, or has found her forever home with a lots of love for her?? I really melted when I saw her sweet, but also sad face, with her real expressive eyes and especially her cute protruding lower lips. I love her... Can you give her a big hug? From me, from the Netherlands. Love you Poppy ❤️🤍💙

[@qwanyin6423]

Wow ! Such a well cared-for looking girl and family not looking for her ?? No chip ? I still hope they see the vids and show up ! But I'm sure if new fam, they will cherish Poppy 🎉

[@im4samtra]

I am so deeply touched by these pet visits and your work. I lost my mom on November 11th, after her 5 year Alzheimer's fight, then my husband on November 13th (yes 2 days later) after his 20 month leukemia fight. I was so blessed to have my sweet ginger lab to come home to, to go on meditative walks and have as my solid when my world was crazy. She asks for so little in return for what she gives me. Pets touch hearts so deeply yet they ask for so little. Thank you for sharing your work with us, and your love with them.

[@carolg.6838]

I am sorry for the losses of your dear mother and husband. I am glad you and your dog can console each other. Our family had a wonderful dog who helped us through many losses.

[@Jovigirl64]

[@betsywyks8277]

@im4samtra......I am so very sorry for your losses. You will be in my prayers as you navigate your new life without the two people you loved dearly. I"m grateful that you have your amazing Labrador puppy to comfort you . I lost my beloved kitty, Laney, on Dec,15 after 11 years together. I rescued her when she was 6 and she became my best fiend for all those years. Our furry babies are truly a treasure!!!

That’s what I was thinking.

For sure. Lost or stolen, who knows. Shows to importance of microchipping. I hope they’re reunited soon, the poor girl, she’s so confused.

[@1m2rich]

If they cared she would have a collar or chip.

[@nrgltwrkr2225]

Oh....just watching the relief and relaxation come over that very expressive face tells you that the scoop and the scalp massage both have magical powers of healing! Thank you for loving her. We do too!

[@topcatwarrior]

She’s so well taken care of that she is obviously loved by someone. Pets get out accidentally during the holidays, I would be shocked if her owner isn’t desperate to find her. Hopefully sharing her story on social media will help get her home.🙏🏻💕🐾🐾

[@americafirst9144]

So many people are unemployed and broke or in the world of drugs so can't take care of these pets. These things can happen quickly. Shelters are overwhelmed.

[@anng.4542]

​@@americafirst9144 I wish vet offices would take a few extra minutes to sit down with owners and REGISTER THEIR PETS' NEW MICROCHIPS before they leave. If a pet is chipped, that MUST become a routine part of the service. Too many owners don't know how to follow up with the registration process, or put off going online to do it themselves. And backup contact info is a must, even if it's only the vet clinic!

[@udubidub]

yes he's too quick to rename her

[@notmebutyou8350]

[@wotan10950]

I’m thinking the same thing as most other commenters - she’s so clean and nicely maintained, she must have gotten lost. It’s hard to imagine anyone just dumping her, especially with such a nice disposition.

[@TheBaumcm]

Her body condition also says she is well taken care of.

[@cinduhughes3351]

[@Chris.Davies]

Dogs are the only animal which can read the facial expressions of humans. We owe it to our best friends to always do the same, and take care of ANY and EVERY dog who needs our help - no matter the situation we are in. I just found your channel, Rocky, and you made me cry in the very first video I watched - about Albert. I was very happy to hear Julie adopted him. Fantastic! Thank you, kindly, from Korea - and from NZ, when I get home.

[@DeborahAiles]

The dogs with the underbite always make me smile. My last little one, Honey, chihuahua mix, she had an underbite. SO funny. Poppy is just a gorgeous dog, I hope she gets her forever home. If she was mine, and she had been lost, I would be losing my mind!

[@rhondawillhite9418]

What a pretty girl!!! Think i could see some of the sadness/scaredness in her eyes go away once she got some pets and then move to the lap. She looks like she has been well taken care of, so maybe she managed to escape/get away from her home and will be united with them. If not, a loving home for her. Hopefully, either way will happen quickly for her.

Oh my goodness indeed, she is such a sweet and lovely pup. Many thanks to Rocky, his wife and awesome team, such wonderful people. 🙏🏼🐾

[@williamsavage6301]

It seems to me that if the dog with whom you are sitting seems nervous, when you start to talk to one of the shelter employees it takes pressure off the dog. He can watch you interact with someone else, watch you without being watched, takes the pressure off him and makes him feel more comfortable with you.

I love you for what you do. Thank you for keeping it so real and wonderful. The remarkable thing is you sit with the dog and let them figure you out, you don't push them and they "get" that it's all in their own time. They have time to think about it and feel safe. Thank you Rocky, I will stay with you as you work your magic.

[@antiquegirl6505]

Please tell people also, once they are microchipped, you also need to be sure that the chip is properly registered with your contact information. The vet or rescue that places the chip, should be able to help register your information. If that step is not done, the microchip is practically useless. The rescue actually had to transfer the chip registration (2 dogs) to us and checked to be sure that they are secondary contact on the info, after our contact info was updated.

She doesn't appear to have been on the streets very long. she looks well groomed and very healthy weight so hopefully, fingers crossed she is just lost and her family is looking for her. this is why microchips are so crucial. all my boys are chipped, and more impotantly registered and kept up to date then should they go astray which i consider extremely rare, we can be reunited when found.
