My oldest son died suddenly in a car crash and left me to take in his support dog. A beautiful shepherd. He cried like this dog because he wanted my son. I literally watched that dog die over the next year. Vet checks, special diet and all. I gave him everything. He died of a broken heart 11 months after my son passed. I pray everyday that they are together in heaven.

The two dogs family "will come this week" What? My little dog escaped from our wooden fenced yard and the pound had her. I knew within hours. I called and called. They said finally that they had him. I drove in the dark with my husband to get her ,because they said it was too late, and we were going to spring her because she was used to sleeping in a bed with us. I was so desperate. Of course they caught us. They allowed me to see her in the OUT DOOR CAGE. I cried all night long. We went down in the morning the second they opened and took our baby home. We were not trying to get out of the fine, we just needed him to be in his own bed and not to be scared of all the dogs barking and in a very strange place. Dogs are really our children. Imagine your child taken and put into a cage. The only good thing I can think of is that he could have been run over by a car if the pound did not pick him up. So for that we are grateful.

[@dawnieb.7394]

@@justice2255 I feel this. I would have been SO upset, omg. I probably would have chained myself to that cage and slept out there waiting for them to come back in the morning, LOL!! When I was very young, our Daisy was lost for 2 weeks and the grief we went through was indescribable. (I can't imagine how parents/caregivers can even function when a child is lost. I cannot imagine it.) We were so blessed to find her again - and extremely lucky, because this was WAY before the birth of the internet. My Pop Pop heard a local radio station doing their "Lost and Found" report and heard them mention a found dog that sounded like her with a family a few towns over, and we raced there and to this day I remember seeing her, about 20 pounds lighter and filthy and just an awful mess, but it was HER and I could just cry right now thinking about the pure relief and joy of that moment. She was so excited and happy to see us, she threw up right there on that poor family's floor 😂I still have one of her toys. Best dog in the world. So happy you got your baby back.❤

I see it too. Sometimes, when people fall into housing insecurity or homelessness, they bond with an animal who was also homeless. The human they depend on cannot provide their friend with the resources they need, through no fault of their own. They must surrender their friend to a person or organization who can provide that, and it's heartbreaking. Bless the homeless, the animals, and those who the love and compassion to help them. 🐕💕

To me it looked like she’s been on the streets for quite some time. I rescued a Shepard mix off the streets where I know that he’d been in a field for over a month and was 20-25 pounds under weight. Not as bad as her but she’s got a road ahead of her, once the medical gets resolved and she starts to feel better is where their mental and emotional behaviors start to show. From my own experiences I didn’t decompress mine enough before I threw him back into what I would call normal life. When they’re in fight or flight mode it takes time for their transformation.

@@AnneMarieNicol _"We have to stop coming to superficial conclusions"_ indeed, which should *also* include the stubborn hear-say about this psychopath's purported trait of "loving" German Shepherds (so, not *all* dogs, or animals in general)... I'm willing to argue that his assumed "love" was nothing but a mixture of pragmatism and national chauvinism (but may not in that order): As canines and their national heritage go, there's hardly a more famous German breed than the "German Sheperd" (I'm 100% sure it'll be the #1 on every "Family Feud"-format quiz globally) and "famous" with good reason, bc it's not for nothing that they are the breed of choice for law-enforcement/security services/defence/etc the world over, for aeons; praised for their loyalty, intelligence, fearlessness, and *ultra-quick* learning capacity. So, I would argue that, to him, they 'represented' Germany, and that their characteristics ^mentioned earlier^ were the definitive reasons he *preferred* them so much: That's something completely different than "love", bc to feel love you have to be able to feel empathy, which was hardly the case with Adolf. Just like most evil-natured and spineless human excrements, he too had to compensate for his profound cowardice with dogs bc he was too gutless and feeble to protect and defend himself in case of physical attacks or dangerous situations, and needed trustworthy, courageous dogs to do the job for him (same goes for criminal filth for [ab]using Pitbull Terriers as their 1st choice). In conclusion, *yes,* I most definitely agree with the OP who quoted Kant's assertion: *_"We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals."_* Peace out... 😉

Well one day he tackled a calf and had it by the throat and he was trying to kill it. My dad came home and saw it and decided to give my dog away. The last time I saw him I cried. He was under an old camper and he could hardly stand up. He was placed in this camper by the man who took him.

Rocky, thanks to your incredible inspiration, I just recently adopted a 3-yr old Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix from my local rescue. His name is Sawyer :) He's heart-worm positive, very underweight and has skin/coat issues. Despite all of that, I'm looking to the future (as you suggested) where Sawyer is heart disease-free, safe, and living his best life. Keep up the awesome work!

[@rockykanaka]

Thanks you so much!

[@doloresreynolds8145]

My girl Pepper was emaciated, heartworm positive and had just weaned a litter of 12 pups when I found her, she is now healthy and happy here 7 years later and I am so grateful. 😊

[@gerettam3146]

Rocky, I just wanted to tell you how special you are, and how significant your love is for all these neglected and seemingly unloved dogs 😢! Thank you for giving all that love, you are so special!

[@MargaretSloan-tw2sv]

Her weight breaks my heart! Still, how sweet she is makes me feel she’ll be swooped up quickly! ❤❤❤

[@compa4929]

The fact that she is so affectionate and wanting the attention of people shows how resilient dogs are.

[@deborah2768]

Thanks!She will be a beauty! More treats for Macy! Thanks for all everyone there does for these poor babies.

[@BuzyMamma]

Macy’s crying absolutely broke me. If dogs could tell us their stories…..what things she would say.

[@savevlad6912]

German shepherd dogs are extremely vocal

[@jinxkrug7000]

@Buzy Mama she is telling us her story. You look @ this beautiful girl and know that her life's been very hard. Her soulful cries in Rocky's hands I think tells her story. We just can't understand what she is saying in our words. I found it very interesting IMHO that she only began crying after it seemed that she started to trust Rocky. Amazing dog, shelter,Staff,Mel, and of course Rocky! I wish Macie(Macy) a swift recovery to health, a loving forever family, and I wish that I could adopt her. Unfortunately I got old.

[@k.8553]

What a good girl she is! So deserving of the best home and a person who returns her love. What a beautiful sweetheart! ❤❤❤

[@kikidevine694]

She's so trusting, despite everything. I know she's hungry, but her tail wagging and she's still bouncing ❤❤❤❤

[@Recken1]

Thanks for everything you do! This girl needs all the help she can get. Such a sweetheart.

How did you send the money? I don’t see anywhere on this site that I can donate.

[@maryjenniferwalker477]

Thank you for helping too.

[@catherineengland1275]

She's a beautiful dog, her cries break my heart. I'll be watching her progress for sure.

[@user-cy3wj9uk5s]

Mel is so tender hearted. What a lovely lady.

[@leahnab9]

I wanted to let you and the staff know it’s not only dogs you’re helping. Watching you guys care for dogs that have been through so much helps me have hope. Thank you

[@marietheresa7866]

Beautiful post 🙏💜🙏💓🙏💜🙏💓🙏💜🙏💓🙏💜🙏💓🙏

[@Ciborium]

Just started watching. See that poor dog so emaciated made me sad. Her little cries while being scratched made my eyes tear up.

[@sabiner.8395]

Humans who mistreat animals don’t deserve these beautiful creatures! Thank you for your work

[@JaneLovett-m4i]

This baby girl just tore me down this ripped my heart out of my chest I can't understand how someone can let this happen to these fur babies. She's so beautiful and deserves so much love. I'd love to take all of them as I've got so much love to give. And I believe that dogs are the greatest creatures God gave us in this earth. I prefer to be around dogs rather than humans.

[@vickiewallace415]

Thanks! Please put this wherever you think is best!!

[@GretchenV95]

Seeing the horrible things some of these babies go through is heartbreaking enough. But for some reason, it feels 10,000 times more heartbreaking when they’re still so incredibly gentle and sweet regardless of what they’ve been through. She has every right to be distrustful and angry with humans for how she’s been treated, yet she’s the sweetest angel. 😢❤

[@bioticsla]

Dogs are unironically, unmetaphorical and truly angels in the most meaningful way possible

[@shirleycooleyga]

🙏🙏🙏 😪

[@jefferybraswell2295]

My Greta was born on the 4th of July, the only female in the litter, the only black pup and the smallest Her Mother refused to nurse her! My niece bottle fed her with goat milk for 5 weeks She is full blooded German Shepherd! When my brother called me and told me about her I said “she’s the one I want “ she is now 61/2yrs old and weighs 110lbs and sleeps by my bed EVERY night I Love This Girl we got her name off of Face Book Fraulien Greta no thing comes or go on this property without her permission 😢🙏🏼🤙🏻❤️😃 seeing this dog cry just breaks my heart please somebody adopt her I rescued my Greta and She has been rescuing me ever since I am 67 and live alone with Greta🤙🏻🙏🏼❤️

[@leybrabear]

110 lbs. is hefty for a female, my pure bred male Shepherd, Julius, from a home breeder, was also runt of litter, grew to 110 lbs. & had a head like a bull, was the dog 'love of my life,' lived to 13, back legs lost strength, but he managed when no one was looking to wobble himself behind the hedges & die. Heard my mom scream when she found him. It was his final act of being perfect. I was having a difficult time forcing myself to have him euthanized bc he was miserable w/ his legs. He did everything perfect his whole life, even 'spared' me having to make that choice in the end.

[@jefferybraswell2295]

She weighed 118lbs a year ago

[@elisanunezaguirre7944]

Soy española (Europa), no entiendo inglés, pero entiendo perfectamente lo que comunica este precioso ser. Está gritando: ¡necesito amor y atención!. Quien no sea capaz de conmoverse con su dulzura y necesidad de afecto, no se conmoverá con nada. Estoy segura de que encontrara una familia que la hará feliz. Merece serlo.

[@Enclave.]

It's remarkable how she's still so friendly and happy to see you even in that condition.

[@Joyexpanded]

You have been such an inspiration, Rocky! I live in Mexico and we don’t have many no-kill shelters. A friend of mine and I are starting a non-profit dog rescue and going to help with these street dogs get rehabilitated by working with an amazing trainer here and getting them adopted. 🥰🙏🏻

[@JudyChartrand-uv6oi]

That would be awesome. My ex husband was living in Mexico not long ago and he would make food to take to the beach to feed the stray dogs. If I had been there, they would have come home with us.

[@lisasimpsondietrick7160]

I asked my friends and family to contribute to a rescue in Cancun in lieu of gifts for me. I hope your friend gets a lot of support!

[@e.1766]

@Joyexpanded Please Post anything you do regarding shelter & rehab work so we can cheer you on & support your work🐾❤️👍

[@Spartacus45]

With my 12 year Armed Forces career and 18 years in the Prison Service I have seen and witnessed some terrible things, but I cannot understand how and why someone would let their dog get into this state. To be truthful it has bought a tear to my eye being the animal lover I am. What a beautiful German Shepherd she is and still so trusting and loving. I just hope she now gets an excellent forever home that she deserves, bless her!!

[@micheleotero4644]

Amen🙏

[@melrod4877]

She's terrified. Poor little Love. I've been a vet tech for decades, but I one day realized, by studying animal behavior I can save so many dogs. I support you! I wish I could just give her all the loves ❤️

[@tigger4000]

OMG @ 3:01 😢😢😢 Hear her little cry? She still trusts ❤️ She wants to be saved ❤️ She wants a friend ❤️ Bless you both! 🐕👨

Well done 👍

[@TetoGSD]

Thanks so much for everything you do, Rocky.. hoping for the best outcome for this sweet gentle soul.

[@robertsimmons2025]

Can you please give us a update about her and how she’s doing. And if she finds a new home. She deserves to be loved and taken care of. 🙏

[@flygirlfly]

It's strange how your cameras can pick up all the details: EXCEPT for Mel's wings 😇. She is a gift and blessing.

[@samiamisme]

Aw, I love that. It's beautiful. And I agree she is someone special.

[@thomasstevens9551]

Mel is absolutely an A#1 HERO and ANGEL. GOD BLESS HER FOR LITERALLY SAVING THESE DOGS LIVES! WE LOVE YOU AND GOD LOVES YOU MEL!!!!

[@ls-kk4pq]

Hearing her cry was heartbreaking but she’s in the best place she could ever be. Thank you Rocky.

[@OkayMaybe-vq4yr]

Hi Macy, you're such a good girl. It's not her fault. People have failed her. Love you, sweetheart. You'll get better. Love to all caring for her. ❤️

[@slchello1192]

My heart breaks so much for her. Thank you for giving her the love and attention she deserves. Hope she finds the loving home she deserves.

[@kathleencooney1518]

I’m sobbing as I hear her trying to tell her story. What a heartbreaking one. She’s quite a talker ! ❤

[@christinemaclennan2354]

Her tail immediately started to wag when you gave her the peanut butter cookie. You are a special person Rocky.

[@wictoriaojheden]

I can't believe that she is as sweet as she is, she is so beautiful. During the health check she was still wagging her tail. I would have taken her right away. I'm looking for a dog but it has to be from a shelter. Good luck puppy I so hope you will find a good home and never be hungry ever again ❤

[@Patricia-jj2pd]

This is painful to watch. God bless you for showing her love.

[@aprilstewart5929]

I just wanna make a lasagna for this dog and watch her eat it. I know that'd be bad- you have to carefully introduce food to an emaciated animal- but yeah....wanna hug her forever.

[@jeancaust9762]

From Australia. I was crying watching that beautiful German shepherd in such an awful condition. I do hope she gets a good home as she deserves it. Thank you you for doing the great work with these dogs. I am a dog lover and cannot understand how some people treat them so cruelty.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

Me too. Lots 😢 How can anybody starve a dog like that. That's awful and she's a beautiful dog. She deserves to be happy, not to cry.

[@Ladychry]

I lost my best friend six months ago, and would go without anything for him to have food and vet visits. Very big dog. I used to say I cannot understand how someone would do this to a dog. The fall of humanity or was it ever there. I hope she gets a home this one really got to me. I have no idea what time period. This happened if somebody can let me know And if she’s OK.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Thanks! This is rather heartbreaking. I don't understand how or why they end up like this.

[@rockykanaka]

Appreciate you friend. I agree really hard to watch. We had to cut big chunks of this video out because I was just sitting there without words. I am working on a plan though because the cool thing is we can help thanks to you and so many others.

[@madalynnehernandez8287]

This puppy girl breaks my heart. I wish I could take them all. God forgive those who hurt animals & children. They need love.

[@samcollage7682]

I'm so amazed that she was so gentle and non-reactive during her health check. Most dogs would have snapped or been fearful.

[@shimmerngspirit]

She's such a gem! Whoever adopts her is getting a really wonderful dog.

[@Retro_Iron]

Mel is an absolute angel and such a blessing to the animals she come into contact with. No doubt she’s probably heard this before but let her know every chance you get!

[@julieeaston7097]

I totally agree. An angel.

[@louisenicholas9104]

Mel’s grooming and love she gives the dogs is so uplifting to them. Even poor Macy looked so much better. God bless Mel. ❤️

[@pmzephyr22]

Rocky, this of all your videos hit my heart. i began helping with rescues of Spanish hunting dogs called Podencos. i went to Spain and brought back my first girl "Sara". She was emaciated like this sweet innocent. So much so that we fed her a good rebuilding diet but it took a long time for her to start showing improvement. She was rebuilding early organ damage before she could retain weight. Once that was progressing she shed a huge amount of hair because her body had been hanging on to whatever she had. As she became healthier she could finally get rid of her old hair to replace with new. And she transformed into a magnificent specimen. The sweetest natured girl but her body still thought it was desperately hungry. 8 years on, this has not changed. Food is her main preoccupation. iI is likely she will never recover from this. The most elegant, and affectionate dog. She demands lots of reassurance and love. When I saw this sweet girl and heard her cry it was like being stabbed. My Sara is with me still, along with two others Podencos, the joys of my life. This little angel crying out starving for food but also love and affection brought back all those memories. Thank you Rocky reminding me the value of this work.
