00:00I just saw these eyes and I was like, oh, here we go.
00:02Brooklyn is used to seeing wild animals around her home,
00:06but one night, a mysterious pair of glowing eyes
00:10had her fearing the worst.
00:12I was like, oh my gosh, let me take my phone out
00:14in case I have to go to the hospital later
00:17and let the hospital staff know what bit me.
00:19And then she comes out from under my little table.
00:22Is that a dog?
00:24Is that a puppy?
00:26Brooklyn couldn't believe it really was a dog.
00:30She came straight up to me and she kind of knocked me off
00:33of my feet a little bit and I sat down
00:35and she crawled right into my lap
00:37and just wanted me to hold her.
00:41Oh my goodness, where did you come from?
00:47The dog was covered in dirt and fleas
00:50and looked underweight too.
00:52So Brooklyn took it in and fed it
00:54before looking for its owners.
00:56I figured that she probably belonged to someone
00:59that lived near me and so I immediately was just like,
01:03you know what, I'm not gonna bring her inside.
01:05When I went to work, she would stay outside.
01:07When we went to sleep, she would stay outside
01:08because I'm just thinking like,
01:10she's gonna wander back home at some point.
01:12And then like probably two, three weeks roll by
01:15and she's still outside and she's greeting me
01:17at my car every day.
01:18And she spent weeks asking around
01:21and posting on social media to see if anyone knew
01:23who the dog might belong to.
01:25I tried that avenue, I knocked on a couple of doors,
01:28like people that live near me and I was like,
01:31hey, do you know who this dog belongs to?
01:33But when no one came forward,
01:35she knew she had to take care of the sweet pup.
01:39And Brooklyn was heartbroken when she discovered
01:42why the dog might've been so shy.
01:44I was just kind of like rubbing,
01:46just sort of like on her chest
01:47and I felt like this little like scab
01:49and so I just kind of moved her hair out of the way
01:51and I just saw like this little bump
01:54and I was like, what is that?
01:55I just kind of picked at it and I pulled it.
01:57I was just holding this little metal BB in my hand
01:59that had come out of her chest.
02:01Somebody shot at this dog.
02:03It kind of made me mad
02:04because I was just like, who would do that?
02:06Who would shoot at a sweet little precious angel like this?
02:10And so I was like, okay, no, I'm your mama now.
02:12I'm your mama now.
02:13She named the dog Birdie
02:15and introduced her to her 10 year old twins
02:18and her dog Cash who all fell in love with her.
02:22They love going outside and playing with them
02:24and I have a trail right out here outside of my house
02:27and we go and we all go run
02:28and we ride bikes and stuff together
02:30and they just run and play.
02:32Like they've so taken to her.
02:34I wasn't expecting to find Birdie.
02:36Like she was completely like complete surprise to me.
02:40So I'm just gonna take it day by day
02:42and it's just gonna be a beautiful, wonderful life
02:45that I get to live and I get to be a part of.
02:47So wherever this journey takes us,
02:50man, I mean, I'm up for anything.
