Transcript

00:00We've never seen a rescue this scared before.

00:03This is Sani.

00:04She's only a baby at 11 months old,

00:06and today we're going to do everything we can

00:08to help her find a little bit of confidence.

00:11And Sani is just one of many terrified dogs we're meeting today.

00:16Go on, it's okay, it's just a mother.

00:19Our goal is simple, to show them that not all humans are bad.

00:25We're visiting Dallas Animal Services,

00:27and the first dog we saw was this one.

00:30Her name is Giselle, and honestly, she chose us.

00:33Before we could even look around,

00:35how could we say no to spending time with her?

00:38One of the workers helped to take her out her kennel,

00:40and we couldn't believe her reaction when we sat down with her.

00:44Hello.

00:46Hi.

00:47Oh my goodness, you're happy.

00:49Hello.

00:51Hello.

00:52So Giselle is four years old.

00:54She came in as a stray,

00:55so sadly she was either dumped by the roadside,

00:58or she escaped and no one came to collect her.

01:00She was just the most loving, friendly dog,

01:02and it didn't take her long to show how happy she is to be out her kennel.

01:26Oh my gosh, she's so soppy.

01:33Oh my gosh, she's so soppy.

01:35It's honestly your loss, because just look at her.

01:39She's actually heartworm positive right now,

01:41so she shouldn't be going so crazy.

01:43Being from the UK, we're not actually that familiar with heartworm.

01:46This graph explains it.

01:48It's basically when a dog gets bit by a mosquito.

01:50She has had treatment though, and is currently spayed.

01:53She's now just waiting for someone to return all the love she has to give.

01:57I think someone could really love her.

01:59I know.

02:00Bless her.

02:00She's really soppy.

02:01Yeah.

02:01And she's got good energy.

02:03Giselle.

02:03And she's affectionate.

02:05She's what?

02:05She's getting bum scratches.

02:10That was a great start to our journey in the shelter,

02:13but this is where it got real.

02:14We were walking around meeting all the dogs,

02:17trying to choose who we wanted to spend time with,

02:19and honestly, it was just a bit too much.

02:22I keep having to take myself out,

02:24because I just need some time to compose myself.

02:27Something about the dogs here, you see, more sad, don't they?

02:33I don't know what it is.

02:35And it looks like there's more like shut down dogs here,

02:38and it's not easy to see.

02:40And the thing that I find hardest about being here

02:42is when we foster dogs,

02:44it's like we can put all of our time and energy into that one dog,

02:47and we can kind of feel like,

02:48well, we can try our best to turn that dog around,

02:50but here, there's just so many.

02:52It's like you see one,

02:54you kind of get attached because it looks sad.

02:56You just go to the next kennel opposite.

02:58You go to the next kennel next to it.

03:00It's like the same story again.

03:04Oh.

03:08But this wasn't about me.

03:10I picked myself up

03:11and went to meet this little baby called Sani.

03:14Sani is only 11 months old

03:16and again came in as a stray.

03:18She's only been at the shelter for a couple of days,

03:21so everything was new to her,

03:23and not surprisingly,

03:24the poor thing was absolutely terrified.

03:33We were trying to get her to the area

03:35we were just in with Giselle.

03:37It was about a 20 meter walk from where we are now,

03:40but this is the hardest 20 meters we've ever done with a dog.

03:44So we were doing everything in her own time,

03:47not forcing her to do anything.

03:48Obviously, we were just standing there filming her,

03:50so she was probably wondering,

03:52what are these weirdos doing?

03:53So I channeled my inner Rocky Kanaka

03:55and tried to introduce myself.

03:58I've got other ones.

04:06I got down to her level,

04:07offered up some treats,

04:09no eye contact,

04:10and let her meet me before I got to meet her.

04:12By the way, we're definitely no experts,

04:15just two people trying to help make a difference.

04:18We then tried to get her moving,

04:20but nothing.

04:21So I got down again

04:22and tried some positive reinforcement

04:24to help get her moving.

04:28Good girl.

04:31She managed to take a couple steps

04:33and then felt brave enough

04:35to really check us out.

04:40Oh, good girl.

04:43Good girl.

04:45Good girl.

04:46Hello.

04:47Oh, no.

04:49Oh, no.

04:50Oh, no.

04:51That's a softy little guy.

04:57She's got the cutest face.

05:00Good girl.

05:02We were trying to take things

05:04really slow and gentle with her,

05:05no sudden movements.

05:07It definitely helped her grow in confidence

05:09because she then started moving.

05:11She's like, yes, please.

05:12Oh, good girl.

05:14Do you want to come follow me for a treat?

05:16Come on then.

05:17Come on.

05:20You can do it.

05:21Good girl.

05:22Good girl.

05:23Good girl.

05:23Yes.

05:24Good girl.

05:27It's okay.

05:28Sorry.

05:30Hello.

05:31Good girl.

05:32What's on?

05:34She was the light behind me.

05:35Bless her.

05:36Come on.

05:37Come on.

05:38You could tell just how new

05:39she was to the shelter

05:41because she wanted to check out

05:42everything that was going on.

05:44We managed to get her around the corner,

05:46took everything super slow,

05:48and then when we were near the finish line,

05:50just hurried up into getting her outside,

05:53and when she got outside,

05:54we couldn't believe her reaction.

05:56Quickly.

05:58Come on.

05:58Good girl.

05:59Good girl.

06:00There you go.

06:02Good girl.

06:03Oh, look how happy she is now.

06:05Yeah.

06:07JJ, you need to take a look.

06:08Hello.

06:09Yeah.

06:10Come on.

06:10Let's take your things quite over one

06:12because it's noisy.

06:13Oh, look how much do that.

06:17She was just a completely different dog.

06:20It's like she was thanking us

06:21for getting her out of there.

06:23It honestly warms my heart

06:24being able to make a difference

06:25in such a small amount of time.

06:27We're usually foster dogs,

06:28and when we get back to the UK next week,

06:30we're going to be getting another foster.

06:33Her name is Bella,

06:34and if you want to be the first to see Bella,

06:36even before anyone on YouTube,

06:38then sign up to our email list.

06:40You'll also be the very first

06:41to know about our merch drop.

06:43Link is in a pinned comment down below.

06:45What's this?

06:46Oh, you in the pool?

06:47Go on, go on.

06:48Sani was so new to the shelter,

06:51she still had time for her owner

06:52to come and collect her.

06:54About a week has passed,

06:55and unfortunately,

06:56it seems like nobody came.

06:58I'm sure she'll grow in confidence

06:59as she spends a bit more time in the shelter,

07:01and hopefully we've helped her do that.

07:03We loved seeing her come out her shell.

07:05Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said

07:07about the next dog we met.

07:08Your turn.

07:12This is Freckles.

07:14She's been in the shelter

07:15for only about a week,

07:16and she was just so scared

07:18and shut down.

07:19Oh yeah,

07:20and there was a Malamute next to her.

07:21He was adorable

07:22and doing all the talking.

07:24Hello, Speaky Boy.

07:26You are huge.

07:30Alpha.

07:31Hello, Alpha.

07:33Are you a big boy?

07:35Our goal is to try and take Freckles out,

07:38but she was so scared,

07:39we had to be really careful with this one.

07:41This might be good just to get her comfortable.

07:43You don't like that one?

07:44Okay.

07:46You like that one?

07:49They don't like that.

07:51Whatever that is.

07:52We started off just by throwing some treats in there

07:55to try and help associate us

07:57with something positive.

07:58Let's try this one, okay?

08:00We're on a mission to help as many dogs as possible,

08:03just like Freckles.

08:04If you could subscribe to join our mission,

08:06that would be amazing.

08:11We were trying some different treats to feed her.

08:13She was stressed,

08:14so I wasn't that interested in them.

08:17I started feeding her and keeping my distance.

08:19You can see here,

08:21when I approached too quickly,

08:22she got a bit frightened,

08:24but was brave enough to come back

08:25pretty much straight away

08:26and even have a sniff of me.

08:34What's she doing?

08:36Sniffing.

08:36She's having a sniff.

08:37Oh, is she?

08:38Yeah.

08:43JJ,

08:45you're making her struggle.

08:47I even got to a point where I was able to hand feed her.

08:50I could tell she was definitely starting to warm up to us,

08:53but she would growl if you went to open her kennel door.

08:56So unfortunately,

08:56we weren't able to take her out.

08:58We didn't want to stress her out too much

09:00and also put any of the workers here in any danger.

09:03I honestly wish we had more time to spend with her,

09:06but hopefully even just this little encounter

09:08has helped her build some kind of confidence.

09:11Oh yeah,

09:12before we show you the next dog,

09:14we passed Sarnie again

09:14and we had to give her some treats.

09:17Gonna treat him?

09:19Here you go.

09:21Good girl.

09:24Hello.

09:26Yes.

09:26You're gonna be fine in here, okay?

09:28You got the cutest face.

09:31Here you come.

09:33This is Rosie

09:34and we're gonna be taking her on a doggy day out.

09:37And although it looks like she's a super confident and friendly girl,

09:40when we took her out,

09:41we saw just how shy she can be.

09:44Come on.

09:45It's okay.

09:46It's just a runner.

09:46Here.

09:48Oh my god.

09:49Oh, aren't you a little lover?

09:51She looks like a lad.

09:52She does,

09:53but she's like kind of small.

09:54Yeah.

09:55Oh, her face.

09:57Look at her little white toes.

10:00Oh my god, that is adorable.

10:04She had her adopt me vest on.

10:06She said one last goodbye to the staff

10:08and it was time to begin our journey.

10:11You fucking like sitting.

10:13See you now, man.

10:17She looks labbed like staff mix, don't you?

10:22We tried to see if she wanted a wee before going into the car,

10:25but nope.

10:26We then tried to get her into the car with a treat,

10:28but nope.

10:29So I had to pick her up to get her in.

10:31Can I pick you up?

10:33Good.

10:34Here, bubba.

10:34Good girl.

10:35Oh, look at her.

10:37She was the biggest stage one clinger in the car

10:40and then we arrived at our first of three stops.

10:44Come on, Rosie.

10:45Come on.

10:46It's a bit hot.

10:47It's okay.

10:47There you go.

10:48Good girl.

10:49Good girl.

10:51That was so majestic.

10:53So we're at the Katie Trail in Dallas.

10:55We thought this was going to be nice and easy

10:57because Rosie seemed so confident,

10:59but as soon as we went near a bunch of people,

11:01her confidence faded quickly.

11:04Come on, man.

11:05Come on.

11:06It's okay.

11:07It's just a runner.

11:07Here.

11:08Here.

11:09Come.

11:09Yes.

11:10Good girl.

11:11Come on, man.

11:11Pretty girl.

11:14Daisy, what's this?

11:14She's like friend.

11:15Daisy.

11:16Friend.

11:16What's this?

11:17Yeah.

11:18What's this?

11:18Oh, good girl.

11:20Oh.

11:23She's staring at everyone.

11:25Bless her.

11:26I think she probably thinks she's probably like in her room

11:28and she's watching everyone walk past.

11:31Good girl.

11:32Okay.

11:32It's okay.

11:33Good girl.

11:36Rosie was clearly quite uncomfortable in this situation,

11:39so we stopped off by a bench and let her just take everything in.

11:45We do this a lot with our fosters.

11:47When they seem overwhelmed,

11:49we just take them to the side so they have time to gauge the situation they were in

11:52instead of actually putting them in it yet.

11:54The shelter did mention that Rosie has separation anxiety.

11:58She came in as a stray.

12:00I'll be honest,

12:01we completely fell in love with her.

12:02She was just so affectionate

12:04and you could tell she already started seeing us as her protectors,

12:07even staying between the two of us for comfort at one point.

12:10Oh, there you go.

12:13Wedged in between.

12:15There, there you go.

12:19Is that nice, huh?

12:22Good girl.

12:23Let's try and walk.

12:24Let's see how she is.

12:26We were there for about 15 minutes

12:28and Rosie started showing signs of being more relaxed,

12:31so we tried walking again.

12:32I think she feels safer when she's walking in between us.

12:35Yeah, I think so.

12:36You can stay here if you want, Daisy.

12:38Rosie.

12:38We've been in America for three weeks now

12:41and met so many dogs.

12:42I'm terrible with names

12:43and I kept accidentally calling her Daisy,

12:45so warning,

12:46I do this a lot.

12:47Oops.

12:47Is that my doing a good job?

12:48Good girl.

12:50Oh, yes.

12:52Well done.

12:53That was good.

12:54Oh.

12:54Good girl.

12:57She would look up at us for encouragement

12:58and yeah, honestly,

13:00we just love this dog so much.

13:02Oh, well done.

13:03Rosie.

13:04Oh my God,

13:04I need some point in those.

13:05Come on, Rosie.

13:06Ruby.

13:07Well done.

13:08Yes, good job.

13:09She's already better with bikes.

13:11We would give us some positive reinforcement

13:13with some treats as we were walking too

13:15and she was really starting to get better.

13:18Come on, Brady.

13:18Oh.

13:19Good girl.

13:21Yes.

13:22Good girl.

13:23So her tail's come out a bit.

13:24Her body language looks a bit more open to everything.

13:27Now that she's seen everything,

13:29we're just kind of...

13:30Good girl.

13:30I'm right here.

13:31Good girl.

13:32Yes.

13:32We're kind of just walking along nice and confident.

13:35Come on.

13:36Giving her the confidence

13:37and she's doing really well.

13:39She's already coming out her shell a bit more.

13:41Good girl.

13:43Yeah.

13:44She looks up for a bit of reassurance.

13:46Good girl.

13:47But no more tucked tail.

13:49You're doing very good.

13:51Aren't you?

13:53She's like,

13:53I'm ready to explore now.

13:56Good girl.

13:58We even bumped into another dog

14:00on a doggie day out from the shelter.

14:02We then arrived at our second stop.

14:04We wanted to bring her along with us for a meal.

14:06Oh.

14:08Good girl.

14:10Good girl.

14:12There it is.

14:13Listen, follow in.

14:14Good girl.

14:15Come on then.

14:16We're just having her for a doggie day.

14:18Doggy day care.

14:20She's one.

14:25It was also time for her meal.

14:27And yes,

14:27we did wait a good half an hour

14:28until we fed her

14:29and then waited another good half an hour

14:31before we walked her again.

14:33The food came.

14:35Texas barbecue is amazing by the way.

14:37And Rosie was super chilled out.

14:39Happy to explore

14:40and of course,

14:41wanted fuss and attention.

14:42Oh.

14:43Oh my god.

14:47It's soppy food.

14:50So I just need a pet.

14:52Yeah, you're good girl.

14:55After the meal,

14:56we walked back

14:56and here she really showed

14:58how much confidence

14:59she has already grown

15:00in such a short space of time.

15:02Thank you so much.

15:06Come on then.

15:07Oh, silly girl.

15:10Come on then.

15:11Oh, silly girl.

15:13Oh.

15:15She likes it.

15:16She likes being pet on her walk.

15:17She's only...

15:18I think she's one?

15:19One?

15:19She's one, yeah.

15:20She's one.

15:21Hillary, you're going to be YouTube famous.

15:25Well done.

15:26Oh, I can't see through your hair.

15:28We got her in the car

15:29onto the next stop

15:30and then we arrived

15:31at Uptown Pup.

15:36Good girl.

15:38Good girl.

15:39Hello.

15:41She was amazing

15:42in the pet store.

15:43She got lots of attention

15:44from the staff

15:44and then we let her

15:45pick out some treats.

15:48Yeah.

15:49Oh.

15:51Yeah.

15:52Okay.

15:53Oh.

15:54Good girl.

15:56She's good with her food.

15:57Okay, we had to get her

15:58a new collar too.

16:00Oh, look at her.

16:01That is adorable.

16:03I think you get that.

16:04She also got some free treats

16:06for being such a good girl.

16:07Oh, thank you so much.

16:09She had such a good time.

16:11We got her lots of goodies

16:12and then we stopped off

16:14to our final stop

16:15to have a drink

16:15and let her enjoy

16:16some of her treats.

16:19Happy puppy day.

16:21Happy dog day.

16:22She's going to eat it there.

16:24Yum, yum.

16:25Of course it is.

16:26Look how happy she is.

16:27Happy puppy.

16:29Oh, let her down.

16:30She let her down.

16:31She wants to be hot.

16:36We had the best day

16:37ever with Rosie

16:39and she was absolutely

16:40exhausted, bless her.

16:42But now's the hard part

16:43having to take her back.

16:46We're just standing

16:47outside the shelter

16:48because we don't want

16:49to bring her back.

16:50I don't want to bring her back.

16:52She's so...

16:53Hello.

16:56Good girl.

16:57Right.

16:57We took her back in

16:58and not going to lie,

16:59we were really upset.

17:00We were actually thinking

17:01of ways to maybe

17:02bring her back to the UK.

17:04We actually came back

17:05to the shelter

17:05two days later

17:06to take her out again

17:07and guess what?

17:09She got adopted.

17:10It made us so happy

17:11to know that she ended up

17:12going to a home.

17:13Since we were already

17:14at the shelter,

17:15we just took another dog out.

17:17His name is Patch

17:18and yes,

17:19he just happens to look

17:20exactly like Rosie.

17:21Probably another staff lab mix.

17:23We took him on this

17:24amazing walk

17:25and okay,

17:26we fell in love with him too.

17:28We need to get out of here

17:29before we try and adopt

17:30every single dog in here.
