Transcript

00:00Are you having a nice first bath?

00:03Yeah, pretty skinny man.

00:05When we bathed him, I could feel every bone in his body.

00:09At first, he wasn't really eating.

00:14Hey, what are you doing?

00:17He was just sleeping all day long.

00:20I was like, okay, maybe he's just jet lagged. He's getting used to it.

00:23Hi, baby.

00:25But those concerns grew, like within a week.

00:30We took him to a vet. They tested him for things, and he came back negative for everything.

00:43He was still super lethargic.

00:47And then his first nosebleed happened.

00:52Shh, it's okay.

00:54We took him to another vet for some more testing, and they did a whole bunch of blood work.

00:59He was like, he tested positive for tick-borne disease, and we can treat it.

01:03And I was like, crying. I couldn't believe he was going to be okay.

01:08Literally, I haven't been able to get anybody to eat for like three days.

01:13And obviously, I'm super worried about him.

01:16And he just went over to his bowl and started eating on his own.

01:22Once he got better, it was like, oh, you have this whole personality that I didn't even know about.

01:26Woo!

01:29I didn't know what kind of dog Levi really was, aside from being like tired, sweet, and loving.

01:35He's also crazy and very high-energy.

01:41He loves to play with other dogs.

01:47Got your best friend. Okay, ready? Go say hi!

01:51Hi!

01:55Hi, Bubba.

01:57When his first snowfall hit, I have not seen him so frisky before in my life.

02:03We got to discover what snow was. That was his new favorite thing. I couldn't get him inside.

02:07Coming in? No, I'm not coming out.

02:11He could finally just like be this usky that he is and run through the snow, like full speed ahead, not being held back by being sick or tired.

02:22In the winter, I can just let him out the door and he'll come back in, you know, 30 minutes, an hour later.

02:29One day, Levi wouldn't come in, so I just, you know, post up where I can see him out the window.

02:33I just see him get up and his tail start wagging and I'm like, what? Like, what is going on?

02:37This little boy who lives upstairs, walk into our backyard and start like throwing snowballs for him and like laying down and getting kisses.

02:47Such like a wholesome, sweet Levi moment.

02:51Levi has been a ray of light for people. He can make anybody smile.

03:00Every time I spoil him, I almost feel like I'm trying to compensate for that terrible start that he had.

03:05I just want him to live the best life a dog can live.

03:21He's the best.
