00:00Find a seat!
00:04All right, I think that's everyone!
00:06Happy Tuesday, boys and girls!
00:08When Hope started dog walking years ago,
00:09she never expected her pack to grow this big.
00:12So she upgraded to a bus
00:13so that she could pick them up every single morning.
00:16I am an official dog walker, I guess you'd call me.
00:19Hi, Ziggy!
00:23Canine Convoy is kind of like a doggy daycare on wheels.
00:29I have a lot of doggy daycare rejects.
00:33They all have families and parents.
00:43My life involves dogs, no matter what I'm doing.
00:46Good morning, Oakley!
00:48Picking them up every morning is my favorite part of every day.
00:52Are you ready?
00:54They are over the moon excited.
01:01I can have anywhere from 22 to 28 dogs a day.
01:06Piper!
01:08I created our own private dog park.
01:11For two hours they can dig, they can run,
01:13they can literally do whatever they want.
01:16I let dogs be dogs.
01:19I let dogs be dogs.
01:23Then they all go back home for the day.
01:26So we like our snacks today.
01:29Indy.
01:31Okey-cokey.
01:33Zeppelin.
01:36Zeppelin is a little different than any other of my pack members.
01:41He is my official first client that I've ever had.
01:44One day we were just in our kitchen and we heard this blood-curdling squeal.
01:50I went outside instantly.
01:52And this German Shepherd was hit.
01:53I talked with his mom.
01:55I got my car and we rushed him to the vet.
01:58When he got home, he remembered exactly who I was.
02:00And ever since then, Zeppelin and I have just had that connection.
02:07This year will be three years that I've been doing this full time now.
02:11Good morning, Eddie.
02:13Hi.
02:14They've shaped me and changed me in ways.
02:17The dogs are like therapy to me.
02:19Come on.
02:20Come on.
02:21Just the fact that I can give them this release.
02:25They thrive in being around each other.
02:28I think we were here.
