00:00Are you a good boy?
00:01I met Bam just days after he arrived at the shelter as a stray.
00:06He stood at the front of his kennel with the biggest smile.
00:09When the dodo asked me to describe our first moments together,
00:12at first, all I could think of was his skinny little body covered in bite marks and scars.
00:17How his filed-down teeth meant he'd likely been a bait dog.
00:20But I was also so excited to share about how his demeanor suddenly changed as he melted into my arms
00:25and had completely won me over by the end of our first walk.
00:27Oh my god! I'm so happy!
00:31Then I learned he already had an approved adopter.
00:33Happy Thanksgiving, baby!
00:35And I couldn't stop worrying.
00:37Bait dogs are often taken because they're easy to exploit.
00:40You need more? You need more?
00:42Then, right before the holidays, I went back to the shelter to walk some dogs,
00:45and there he was, smiling at me again.
00:48His adopter never showed up.
00:50You guys are not ready for what I'm about to show you?
00:53This is Bam!
00:55Despite the blatant abuse, he is the sweetest boy.
00:59He is just pure magic.
01:00There's no other way to describe him.
01:02On the drive, he smiled the whole way.
01:04It was like he knew this time was different.
01:09Come on, Bam!
01:11Let's go!
01:11Let's go!
01:13He's like, what is this place?
01:18That night, he slept in a soft bed for the first time.
01:21He snored, he relaxed, and the next morning, he woke up smiling.
01:26He bonded instantly with our dog, and they became inseparable.
01:31I shared his story online, and within 24 hours, millions of people fell in love with him.
01:40One family stood out.
01:42They were surprising their kids with a rescue dog for Christmas.
01:45When they met Bam, it was love at first sight.
01:48He was adopted on the spot.
01:56Bam will never know a cage again.
01:58Never know cruelty again.
02:03He'll only know love.
02:05And that smile, it was always meant to be permanent.
02:09What are you doing?
02:12Do it again!
02:14Look at that sweet face.
