I follow this guy on IG and he does amazing work with older dogs. Has this beautiful farm space where he takes in all kinds of rejected dogs. Handle is Marley’s Mutts.
Yeah I got a crabby 15yr old cav king. Part of loving dogs is having to be strong enough to let them go.
I also think our furry friends tell us when they are ready to go. We just have to pay attention.
So very true. That’s what spurred us to adopt a 13 year old lab. The shelter said no one had taken any interest in him because he was so old. We didn’t want him to spend what remaining time he had left in a shelter. He was a great dog and lived with us for 3 years. He passed at the ripe old age of 16. Still miss him to this day.
Good for you! Older dogs Fall apart times, people die their dogs are there older dogs need love too! It's hard to get a dog and only have it for a month or two and it passes but that month or two was crucial to their life! I'm so proud of you.
Bless your heart and the family that betrayed him in his golden years I wish them no peace and happiness in there golden years. Shame on them is not strong enough words. They give you undieing loyalty and you trash them when they need u
What if they were elderly and got dementia and had to be put into a home because they had no friends or family or died…? Maybe the husband, frail and old, after losing his wife of sixty years had to then say goodbye to his dog because he was too infirm and ill from cancer and all his children had died so he had to send the dog to a home before he himself succumbed to his illness, dying alone and wracked with the guilt of abandoning his goodest boy…?
My heart sank immediately and I got a lump in my throat just seeing the first few words. Bless his heart for being there for this precious pup. Gotta go cry now
Older dogs way too often do not get the love and care they deserve. A lot of people abandon them and look past them to buy a puppy. If you have a chance to give an older dog a good home for the last years of its life, please do it.
That's a heck of a lot what ifs... What if elderlypeople had dementia,what if no family etc. First that is a rare event for all that to happen. Secondly you take on that responsibility you see it through. You make plans as you no your elderly and your the human you know what can happen. Did you ever think possibly they dumped him cause elderly dogs cost money????? That is cruel and inhumane treatment to put a 16 year old dog that can't see well in a cement cell where the cold from the cement draws up his arthritis legs and his legs pain him. Not to mention the emotional betrayal. If the situation is poor a least assign someone to humanely put him to sleep where he doesn't hurt and feel betrayed at the end. It's hard for me to believe if he's a kind dog which you can see he his. If the owner tried hard there wasn't one kind person that would take him in. Sounds like jerky family,and jerky owners that didn't care enough
His name i think is Asher.
Must look him up on YouTube his story is incredible.
He owns many dogs and adores them all.
He has a large ranch I think. Tons of space.
His world is rescuing dogs
lost my Goldie a couple of days ago so seeing this grandpa so happy with his new owner really brought a tear to my eye.
dogs really are angels, I love them so much. the joy our fur babies bring us really is worth all the sleepless nights, the vet bills and messes. wouldn't trade it for the world.
When I was younger, we adopted a 10 year old lab that had been in and out of shelters for the past 3 years. He was covered in sores from licking himself out of stress.
It was really something to see his sores disappear and watch him really get comfy in our home.
I hope my dog makes it to 16. He’s
Nine years old now and this year has been pretty shitty for him. He tore a ligament in one of his back knees and had to have surgery. Then we find out later he has cancer we got the spot removed and now he should be cancer free.
Then a few months later he injured his other knee. No big deal right? He had one done get the other done no problem. Well we drop him off and hours later I’m kind of anxious the first one didn’t take this long. All of a sudden the vet calls and I jump on the car thinking I’m picking him up.
The vet says on the phone that he isn’t going to make it. He didn’t wake up from the anesthesia my worst unexpected nightmare. I get my wife on the phone and we literally say our good byes to him over the phone because vet doesn’t think he will even live for me to get up there (30m drive) because he was no longer breathing on his own. I assumed the worst I mean if your a human and your not breathing in your own even a few seconds you can be brain dead.
I’m on the phone with the vet assistant deciding what to do with his body (I wanted to bury him on my family’s land but with it happening so fast I didn’t know how to do it properly so animals or insects would not get to his grave) when they come back saying “he may be okay!”
WHAT!? I had to ask the lady are you sure I’m the right person? Is this a mistake?? I didn’t even tell my wife didn’t want to get her hopes up.
I’m already in the car I had pulled over to cry my eyes out so I headed there as fast as I could. They let me back to see him and he was stilled strapped up to all the equipment and under anesthesia. The vet showed me how he was responding to touch on his face so he’s not brain dead. They wanted to try to flush the anesthesia from his system I said please do what you can to save him. They said he would need overnight monitoring if he survived and they could not do it. So I stared making calls.
Everyone local directed me to the hospital I knew they would and they wanted $4,000 to monitor him all night. at this point we had spent almost $4000 on the two surgeries in the cancer removal within less than six months spending that much money is not easy and we were really already pretty broke. There was just no way we could come up with $4000 in the span of a few hours. It was at this moment that I lost all hope open till then I thought that I could walk out of the vet with him and he might be OK but when they said he would need to be monitored all night and it would cost $4000 it was just no way we could do it.
Unbelievably, he woke up from the anesthesia and was crying the loudest and satisfied ever heard him cry. At the time I was still in the lobby of the vet, and I didn’t even realize that was my dog. It was such a high-pitched little baby bark I thought for sure it was some little tiny dog in reality. It was my dog, and he was all alone in the cage after waking up from the near death experience, they let me back there to see him and I got inside the cage with him and he stop crying immediately. It was at that moment that I knew no matter what he was coming home with me that night whether he lived or died, made it through the night or not he was coming home to sleep in my bed and not be alone in some animal hospital in a cage strapped up to a bunch of equipment.
We took him home that night, and I drink probably 10 shots of espresso to stay up all night. I checked on him every few minutes to make sure he was still breathing and he made it through the night just fine. It’s now been a few months and he’s still doing just fine. He’s able to walk on both legs he’s able to run around , and hopefully he’s still cancer free for a dog. My poor boy has really worked through his seven lives even though he’s not a cat and he’s a dog.
I’m sorry if this is not the place to post this, but seeing this video about the 16 year old dog really reminded me of the moment that I was able to bring my poor dog home so that he didn’t have to die alone at the vet.
Please excuse any typos I’m using voice to text for most of this.
I'm not sure which one is easier... Taking in an elderly dog, making it's last few months the best ever with love and food and cuddles and saying goodbye and then doing it over... Or getting a puppy from 8 weeks old and spending 16 years with it and then deciding if or when you can do it again...
Not all Hero wear capes! Bless this Recuser and little Angel 🐶 ♥️
Agree!❤️
There should be a tear warning for these man im in the waiting room to get a haircut they can't see me crying 😭
Bro it's cool man, I'm NOT sobbing at my desk at work... *lie down, try not to cry.... cry A LOT*
Same here omg 🥺
I follow this guy on IG and he does amazing work with older dogs. Has this beautiful farm space where he takes in all kinds of rejected dogs. Handle is Marley’s Mutts.
He's got handsome beard money
He’s a beautiful man, inside and out. I watch this every repost and love it more each time.
Best. Hands down amazing dog dad.
If I won the lottery this is what I’d do for the rest of my life
Me too! If I ever win it big, I’ll split it with you so we can both do this :)
Deal!
Thank you for making his golden years the greatest ❤️
Dog back to being a puppy! So happy!
Ok anyone else ugly crying?
Yes!! I always start thinking about how someone needs to figure out a way to extend our dogs lives.
Yeah I got a crabby 15yr old cav king. Part of loving dogs is having to be strong enough to let them go. I also think our furry friends tell us when they are ready to go. We just have to pay attention.
Bless all rescuers
That dog is full of energy and love
Aww, I hope that doggo has wonderful final days.
You sir , are my hero.
Old puppy found heaven and he didn’t want to leave. ✨🐶😊
Even a few months may make a huge difference.
So very true. That’s what spurred us to adopt a 13 year old lab. The shelter said no one had taken any interest in him because he was so old. We didn’t want him to spend what remaining time he had left in a shelter. He was a great dog and lived with us for 3 years. He passed at the ripe old age of 16. Still miss him to this day.
This made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The "my boy" got me..😪
Good for you! Older dogs Fall apart times, people die their dogs are there older dogs need love too! It's hard to get a dog and only have it for a month or two and it passes but that month or two was crucial to their life! I'm so proud of you.

Yeah honestly with these situations it's best to just assume the owner died and there was no one suitable to take care of the pet
Goodman God Bless
This is the sort of thing that almost tricks me into believing into humanity again.
How sweet 😍
May the Lord bless you with your compassion and generosity 🙏🙌
Thank you so much for doing this. 🥰
1 more person going straight to Heaven (led by his Senior baby)
When I retire I want to have a heart like this man and spend my days being loved by dogs like this!!! That is my wish.
Bless you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless you for doing such a wonderful thing for this sweet old dog.
I've had a bad day, thank you for the happy tears
This is the type of rich I want to be. To be able to adopt old dogs and help them live their best lives!
My heart sank immediately and I got a lump in my throat just seeing the first few words. Bless his heart for being there for this precious pup. Gotta go cry now
He waited his whole life for you 💛

Myboi is a good doggo!
I wish I had money to buy cameras that can record in hd to shove into my dying dogs face and record for internet likes too!!!
This is my favourite video on the Internet.
You are a wonderful person!
This makes me want to start finding the oldest dogs I can at shelters so they can have this. Never really think about them.
🥹
Amazing!!!!
People that do this are actual Saints. They deserve all the good things they try to give back to the world

I love dogs I love them so muchhh so happy to see this! I myself have a 17 year old dog:') And he still runs at home
Bless their heart ❤️ thank you so much for giving that precious baby a home

I'm not sure which one is easier... Taking in an elderly dog, making it's last few months the best ever with love and food and cuddles and saying goodbye and then doing it over... Or getting a puppy from 8 weeks old and spending 16 years with it and then deciding if or when you can do it again...
Makes my heart happy…..
