00:05All right, Brady, you ready?
00:07Yeah.
00:07Okay, pop your shirt off.
00:08Okay.
00:09Last week was the first game of the regular season,
00:12and I was feeling so ready and so sharp.
00:15And it all runs it again.
00:16Brady will be there.
00:17Here goes Brady to the 30.
00:19Big shirt comes down from behind.
00:21Why is Brady walking off?
00:23Sam?
00:24Your shoulder?
00:25Yeah, I'm up.
00:26I'm in so much pain.
00:28And then I go down with an injury, I'll be pissed off.
00:31It's not how I drew it up.
00:34Ah, it's still sore.
00:36Just tender to the touch.
00:38Yeah.
00:40And the needling should help with that.
00:43The timeline they're giving me is about six weeks.
00:45I'm going to beat those odds.
00:47I'm trying to do everything in my power to get healthy
00:50so that I'm back out in the field performing for my teammates.
00:54Oh, my gosh.
00:56I just checked the pet monitor,
00:58and Stella is trying to destroy the garage.
01:01She's trying to get out.
01:03Oh, no.
01:05I left like an hour ago, and that wall was completely gone.
01:08This recipe stuff, man, you can never have nice things.
01:23Stella, Stella, Stella.
01:26You owe us a bunch of money for the wall.
01:28Hey, you're destroying your house, Stella.
01:31Stella is our foster dog.
01:33Look at your puppies.
01:34They're almost escaping the pool.
01:36And she has had ten puppies.
01:38It's a lot.
01:39You've got to figure out a better setup for them.
01:42If I was in there locked in a garage, I'd probably run through the wall.
01:45You know what I mean?
01:45I'm like a little rat.
01:47That would take you, like, a year.
01:48It would take me maybe three runs.
01:51What?
01:51Let's say that.
01:52No chance.
01:53Three runs, and you're going to go through the garage?
01:55Yeah.
01:56Between those trees, so there's some shade.
01:58And they can just, like, chill out here.
02:01Yay!
02:03Look, it's outside.
02:06They're the cutest little things ever.
02:08They're the cutest little puppies.
02:09I love them.
02:11Six babies.
02:13But it's constant work.
02:15Why don't you feed themselves?
02:23Jack-Jack, come on, buddy.
02:25So little, hey?
02:27Little Jack-Jack is the runt of the litter.
02:30We'll give you your time after, little guy.
02:33Always kind of, like, struggling to keep up with the other puppies.
02:37Come on, baby.
02:39Come on, run-t.
02:41Here, look.
02:42Look.
02:42Alex is spending a ton of energy and time on Jack-Jack.
02:46You need to eat.
02:47Come on.
02:48There you go.
02:49Good boy.
02:51Like, I don't know if I know anyone else that has a bigger heart, you know?
02:54You've got to get big and strong.
02:55Like, the rest of them, they're so much bigger than you.
03:05Ready to roll?
03:09Another day, another rescue.
03:11Every happy ending for a dog makes us want to keep doing the work that we're doing, because
03:16we want to be able to give every dog the second chance at life.
03:19How are you feeling?
03:20Shoulder sore still.
03:21I know my body best, so I'm never going to jeopardize my football career to go on a rescue, but
03:27there's dogs that need us.
03:31This is the skinny mama.
03:33Her puppies were already picked up.
03:35Hi.
03:37She's beautiful.
03:39We're in Pegwa's First Nation, trying to capture these two dogs and bring them into care.
03:43Do we have stinky wet food?
03:45Yep, absolutely.
03:46I've got canned food here.
03:48They're getting pregnant.
03:49They're having litters.
03:51There's no way to control that if you can't catch them.
03:53So our only priority today is to get these two dogs.
03:57We'll probably have a few chances, hey, do you think?
04:00Well, as long as we can get her close enough, I don't think it'll be a problem.
04:03She seems very friendly.
04:04We're doing the rescue today with Carla from Winnipeg Pet Rescue and Barb from Manitoba Animal Alliance.
04:11Crystal, the woman that lives here, can she not get near it?
04:15No.
04:15These ones just stay outside all the time.
04:18There's different people that contact me.
04:20They need help with, like, a stray or their own animals.
04:23And I reach out to different rescues that may be able to help.
04:27Man, she's skittish.
04:29Crystal contacted us because these two dogs have been impossible to catch.
04:34They've been trying for over a year.
04:35Oh, you're so skinny.
04:37Oh, you're so skinny.
04:39We're just extremely concerned for the dog's well-being.
04:46I think if we can just get her eating, and then I can slip it over her.
04:50Here you go, Mama.
04:51Come on.
04:53You first?
04:54Okay.
04:55Good girl.
04:56As dog rescuers, we do have some tricks up our sleeve.
05:00Come here, Mama.
05:01Look.
05:01Look what I've got here.
05:02It's okay.
05:03I'm going to feed you.
05:05Typically, we'll start with trying to lure them with food.
05:07The stinkier, the better.
05:09We might need to do two slip leads, I'm thinking, and put food in the middle,
05:12and once they go, we'll have one chance to just rope them.
05:15Here you go, Mama.
05:18Here you go.
05:20That's good, eh?
05:25Come on back over here.
05:27I know.
05:29Clearly, we have our work cut out for us today.
05:32Do they go in the shed?
05:33Do they?
05:34Yeah.
05:35If we get them in the shed, we can block them in.
05:37Yeah, you could do that.
05:38Just to put the food in there.
05:40I mean, that would be ideal if they walk in there.
05:42If we can lure them into the shed and somehow get the shed door closed,
05:46then we should be good.
05:47Got to just dump a bunch of kibble in there.
05:50The shed is our last opportunity.
05:52Like, if we scare them, they're gone.
05:56Hey, baby.
05:57What's this?
05:58What's this?
06:01Come on.
06:02Perfect.
06:05Yeah, we got to just back away and let her go in.
06:07Go in.
06:09Nobody move.
06:15You can't be moving.
06:16Yeah, there's too many people here right now.
06:18Yeah.
06:18I'm telling you, when we leave, they're going to go in there and eat that food.
06:21Yeah, of course.
06:22What if this?
06:23You guys drive away.
06:24I'm going to wait behind the shed and...
06:27See if they go in.
06:27If they go in all the way, like, that's our last bet.
06:30That's a good idea.
06:31You know what?
06:32We should get a rope on the door so we can just pull it shut.
06:36If we use all these leashes that we brought, tie them to the doorknob,
06:40and I hide around the back of the shed, and then I just...
06:45Hopefully they'll just go in, eh?
06:47Yeah, they'll go in.
06:48I have one chance, and if it doesn't properly close...
06:52They're gone.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:00They're so close.
07:04Let's go!
07:06Woo!
07:06Way to go, Brady.
07:08They're both in there?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Oh, my gosh!
07:10Way to go, my boy.
07:12Yeah, buddy!
07:14Hey, the shoulder feels good.
07:16Let's go.
07:17Okay, now...
07:18So now what?
07:19What's the plan now?
07:20I'm going to squeeze in.
07:22Okay.
07:22All right, we got you.
07:24I'm behind you here, okay?
07:28I'll stay here.
07:29Stay right now.
07:31Yeah.
07:31No.
07:32You know what?
07:33Show them I might hurt you.
07:34Yeah, I'll run the next.
07:36Oh, son of a...
07:37I'll stop.
07:38This one's slippery.
07:39I think we let Brady try, because he's very, very fast.
07:44You know what?
07:45Give me the blanket.
07:45Watch the door.
07:46We got the door.
07:47We got the door.
07:50Oh, this is wild.
07:52Right there, right there.
07:55Okay, mama.
07:57Here we go.
07:58It's okay, buddy.
07:59Do you want me to try, Barb?
08:02There we go.
08:04Yes, yes, yes, yes.
08:05Yeah, we're good.
08:06Hey, just hold it.
08:07Yeah.
08:07Great job, Barb.
08:08Great job.
08:09Great job.
08:09Great job.
08:09Grab the towel.
08:11Grab it around the head.
08:12All right, here we go.
08:12The towel's probably our best friend on rescues.
08:15It kind of gives the dog some darkness and a space to just decompress.
08:19Let her settle.
08:20She's going to calm down.
08:22They're terrified.
08:23They're not in pain.
08:25They're scared.
08:27I need the crate.
08:28I need the crate.
08:28Here's the crate.
08:29Can you hide at the shelf?
08:31Can you hold the head, please?
08:32I'm going to carry you.
08:34We hate having to put a dog in that position, but we understand that after this, it will never
08:41experience any of this in its life ever again.
08:44You ready?
08:48That was too much.
08:50We've rescued the first dog.
08:52We're halfway there.
08:53Holy man.
09:03You okay?
09:04Good job.
09:05Okay.
09:05Good job.
09:06We got the first feral dog, so now we have to mentally prepare ourselves to get the second
09:12one.
09:12Okay.
09:13I'm going in for the next one, Bart.
09:15I'm coming in, Alex.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Is he behind there?
09:19Yeah.
09:19I can't even see him here.
09:21He's here.
09:22Okay.
09:23All we want to do is save them and give them a good life, and they just don't know any
09:26better
09:27yet.
09:27Well, they haven't had a good life, and they get scared.
09:30They don't know what's next.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Walking this way.
09:34Are you okay?
09:36Okay.
09:36Are we going in there?
09:37Yeah.
09:38How's it going in there?
09:39He's behind here.
09:41I'm going to come in here and just lure him towards you, okay?
09:44All right.
09:45Hey, you're okay.
09:47It's okay.
09:48It's okay.
09:49I got her.
09:50Yes, yes, yes.
09:51All right.
09:51Okay.
09:51She's going nuts.
09:53Be super careful.
09:53Brady, come.
09:55It's okay.
09:56Put the towel around the head.
09:58I got the neck.
09:59Yeah.
10:00Go.
10:00Good for you.
10:00Go.
10:01Okay.
10:02Okay, baby.
10:03Okay, baby.
10:03Stop her.
10:08Good job.
10:09Holy fudgesicle.
10:11Neither of us like seeing dogs in distress, so physically and mentally, it was a very tough
10:17rescue.
10:18This is the catch of the day.
10:20Yeah, definitely.
10:21I am so happy.
10:22Given the fact that they're both extremely feral and it's probably going to take them quite
10:27a while to come out of their shell, they will go to very experienced fosters and then they
10:32will get adopted once they're ready.
10:33Good work, you guys.
10:35Oh, that was awesome.
10:35Great teamwork right there.
10:37That was effort right there.
10:39Knowing that they're going to go to their forever home and thrive for the rest of their
10:42life, it's so rewarding.
10:44That was nuts.
10:46That's like football.
10:47When you score a touchdown and you celebrate with all your teammates, like, that feeling
10:51is one of the most incredible feelings in the world.
10:54That feels the same?
10:55Yeah.
10:56It gets so hard to get in that zone, like...
10:58I'm going to do it.
11:00Yeah, I mean...
11:01What do you think, Gunnar?
11:02I'm going to score a touchdown.
11:03There's no way, eh?
11:05I already got a touchdown, babe.
11:09Oh, nice.
11:16So, don't mind my hair right now.
11:19Things have been a little crazy over here with the puppies.
11:23Brady has been very, very busy with his rehab, so I have been putting in triple time taking
11:29carousel in the puppies and carousel in the puppies.
11:33With my work, it's just way too much.
11:38I'm going to have to throw this out and buy a new one, you guys.
11:41The puppies are in terror mode right now.
11:44We're weaning them off.
11:46We started...
11:47Well, I started mush yesterday, which I wish I would have waited for Brady.
11:51Sloppy joes.
11:53The mush definitely gets things flowing in there, and there's a lot of poo.
11:58There's so much poo.
11:59There's just so much.
12:01I'm, like, every two hours cleaning out their pen.
12:04And I'm like, have I showered?
12:05Why am I just crying for no reason?
12:08Like, I...
12:08My hair is insane.
12:09I feel insane.
12:12Yeah, so that's what's been going on over here.
12:17It's too much.
12:18The pups are old enough to be separated from Mama, so we're at the point now where we're
12:22going to send half of the litter to another foster.
12:25How are we going to decide which one she...
12:27See, it's going to be too hard.
12:28No, no.
12:28Don't even.
12:29No.
12:30It's already...
12:30The decision's been made.
12:31I haven't slept in three weeks.
12:33You, like, play with them, and it's so cute and so happy, and then I look like I've been
12:37through, like, an actual, like, torrential downpour storm, and then he comes home, and
12:41he's like, oh, this was easy.
12:44Okay, so then two of the brown ones.
12:46No, we need all the brown ones.
12:47Babe.
12:49No.
12:51We both work full-time.
12:53Our dogs are going kooky.
12:55I don't think our dogs are good.
13:00Little Jack-Jack.
13:01He needs so much care.
13:03So I think he'll stay here with Mama.
13:05You okay?
13:07Look at him.
13:09Back.
13:13You okay?
13:16What's he...
13:17What's he doing?
13:18It's like gasping for air.
13:26Can we rush him to the vet?
13:27All right, well, we'll just...
13:28We'll take it to the vet.
13:29How far is it?
13:3015 minutes.
13:32Look at his eyes, babe.
13:34They're, like, bulging.
13:36Yeah.
13:37He can't breathe, man.
13:38Yeah.
13:39Like, get there faster.
13:41It's okay, buddy.
13:42Hey, you're okay, sweetheart.
13:44Oh, it's okay, bud.
13:47Come on.
13:48Come on.
13:48Five more minutes.
13:49You got it.
13:53Is he dying?
13:55No.
14:03It's okay, buddy.
14:05It's okay.
14:05It's okay.
14:06It's okay.
14:16It's okay.
14:26Oh, man.
14:29Jack-Jack was gasping for air.
14:32We don't know much at this point.
14:34We're waiting to hear from the vet.
14:36I feel so bad.
14:39He's going to be fine.
14:42He's going to push through it.
14:46Oh, he is.
14:47Oh, you're feeling better?
14:48Yeah, he's feeling better.
14:49Really?
14:50Yeah.
14:51If you want to have a look.
14:52Yeah.
14:53Hi, buddy.
14:54Oh, you look better.
14:56You're really scared.
14:57Wow.
14:58He was waving his tail a minute.
15:00Hey, buddy.
15:02He looks better, right?
15:07Oh, thank God.
15:09Yeah.
15:10That's way better.
15:11Yeah.
15:12So, Phil, keep him on the oxygen.
15:14Okay.
15:14Until he's even more stable.
15:16Okay.
15:16Then we'll try to do the oxygen.
15:19They were able to stabilize him.
15:22He looks better.
15:23So, they're going to do an x-ray so that we can figure out what's causing this.
15:28The ups and downs of rescue.
15:30I'm not emotionally equipped for this.
15:36It's going to be fine.
15:39It's going to be fine.
15:46Things are not looking great.
15:47I'll show you.
15:48Okay.
15:52He's having the diaphragmatic herniation.
15:55So, all of his abdominal contents, they have moved to his chest.
16:00Right.
16:00Oh, my God.
16:01That's why it's just putting the pressure on the lines.
16:04So, you're making it hard to breathe.
16:05Exactly.
16:06That's what it is happening.
16:11So, what do you think?
16:26Anytime you need to make that decision, that call to put a dog to rest, it's never easy.
16:37Crushes you.
16:38Crushes you.
16:44No.
16:54Hey, buddy.
16:58I'm sorry, Jack.
17:16I'm never going to be ready, so, like, let me be there.
17:26I hate you for it.
17:29No.
17:31It's okay, buddy.
17:33I know.
17:34It's okay.
17:44No.
17:46No.
18:13Gone.
18:17Yep.
18:19Sorry, guys.
18:20Thank you for everything.
18:25I'm not a jerk, Jack.
18:27No.
18:29I love you, little buddy.
18:43Hi, you little babies.
18:45Come.
18:46Oh, there we go.
18:48Come on, Stella.
18:49Bring your babies.
18:52They are getting big, though.
18:54They are.
18:54R.I.P. Jack-Jack.
18:56Yeah, Jack-Jack.
18:58Losing dogs is a part of the rescue journey.
19:03You guys want to eat?
19:06After losing Jack-Jack, you know, we come home and we see the other puppies that still need
19:12us and need us and need care and love and need care and love, and you keep going for them.
19:18They're so cute.
19:19I love them so much.
19:21I love them so much.
19:21They're so cute.
19:21Now they have, like, little personalities.
19:23And they're starting to play.
19:24Yeah.
19:26Yeah.
19:26We did split the litter.
19:27One of the fosters ended up taking four of the puppies, and we have five.
19:32Oh, the baby.
19:34Oh, the baby.
19:36Oh, the babies.
19:39Every time you lose a dog, it takes a little piece of your heart.
19:42But every time you save one, it kind of fills it back up.
19:48Teddy, Teddy, Teddy.
19:49I'm excited to see how he's doing.
19:51When Alex and I rescue dogs, it's good to keep tabs and, like, see the life that they're
19:55living.
19:56He's probably double the size.
19:58Oh.
19:59Oh, my gosh.
20:00Teddy.
20:02So cute.
20:03We're here to see Teddy.
20:04You know, he's kind of in some rough shape when we first picked him up from the airports.
20:08Oh, your shoulder.
20:10His shoulder.
20:11Oh, yeah.
20:11Wow.
20:11Look at that.
20:13And he had a massive abscess.
20:16Oh.
20:17Oh.
20:17How are you?
20:18Good.
20:18How are you?
20:19How's he been?
20:20Good?
20:21He's so sweet.
20:22He's so sweet and cute.
20:24Lisa is fostering Teddy.
20:26Well, him with lots of love.
20:28Oh, we should keep him.
20:30She said that about every dog.
20:32I know.
20:32So do I.
20:33Every dog.
20:34And his sides look good.
20:36Yeah, I know.
20:36It's all healed up.
20:38I like the cat toys right now.
20:40I don't know about his size and speed.
20:42Oh, look at his little leg.
20:43Every day's personality is coming out more.
20:46He's just fun and playful.
20:48They're so forgiving of their circumstances, right?
20:51Forget it like that and they just move on.
20:53Once they have, like, love and safety and food and warmth, they're just like, eh.
20:58Yep.
20:59This is the why.
21:00This is the moment.
21:01Like, that it's just like, ugh, so good.
21:04The fun times of rescue.
21:06You're letting me bite you.
21:07Oh, this is fun.
21:08Yeah, bite his beard off.
21:10Do it.
21:11Aw, well, thanks for letting us come to see him.
21:13Absolutely.
21:13I'm glad you came.
21:14It's always so nice when we get to visit.
21:16See them again.
21:17See them again.
21:17I know.
21:18Yeah.
21:19It makes us feel good just to be, like, a small part of his journey.
21:21See you, buddy.
21:23See you, bud.
21:24Bye-bye.
21:25Aw, you're so cute.
21:28Such a little muffin.
21:30So cute.
21:31I know.
21:35Next time on Must Love Dogs.
21:38Oh, my God.
21:40I'm jacked up, ready to get back on the field.
21:43Go, baby, go, get it.
21:44Go, go, get it.
21:45Oh, my God.
21:46Stella, we're going to post your puppies for adoption.
21:49Should we take your picture and put you up for adoption, too?
21:52Every fiber of my body wants to keep this dog.
