00:00My mom, Nancy, is extremely afraid of dogs.
00:04When I was seven years old, one huge dog chased me and my sister.
00:11I was worried about her when she got the pippo.
00:22Two years ago, we adopted Ellie, a full American Pippo Terrier.
00:27Sophie is our long-term foster.
00:39My mom felt sad that I was paying so much for daycare,
00:43so she forced herself to get comfortable watching the dogs.
00:47This was her first time on her own.
00:49She was really going out of her comfort zone.
00:58To see that moment was heartwarming.
01:01I felt like she was coming around.
01:08They are not afraid of me and I'm not afraid of them anymore.
01:11Mom, you should kiss her.
01:13No!
01:15You meet one nice dog and it changes your perception on dogs as a whole.
01:20I'm so happy because I can come to see my daughter all the time.
01:25See what I got you?
01:28Hey!
01:30They gain five pounds after she watches them.
01:33They are my grandchildren now.
01:36Mom!
01:38Hey!
01:42Sophie!
01:45Here you go.
01:46Here you go.
