00:00This is our newly rescued puppies, Sandy and Pickle.

00:03When they first met our dogs, they were terrified.

00:11But will they all be friends after seven days?

00:14Well, the journey to hopefully get into this started on day one.

00:18Both Sandy and Pickle completely shut down when they first met our dogs.

00:23Kobe and Moki were really curious, but the rescues wanted nothing to do with them.

00:28Moki, ayy, ayy, Moki, no.

00:33Moki, come. Moki, come.

00:36Good girl.

00:44That's better.

00:47Moki, come. Good girl.

00:50Oh, you alright there, Pickle?

00:52Bit confused.

00:54Moki, nicely. Moki, nicely. Good girl.

01:00Moki, ayy, Moki. Moki, oh.

01:03It felt really tense between all the dogs, but there's always a secret trick we always have on standby.

01:10As soon as we brought the treats out, you could see Sandy was all of a sudden looking a bit

01:14more interested.

01:17Good girl.

01:18Moki, come.

01:19Moki, come.

01:20Moki, come.

01:21Moki, come.

01:22Oh, do you want some?

01:23Um, Pickle?

01:24Good boy.

01:26Oh, that's putting you out of the shell, hasn't it?

01:29I guess it doesn't matter if you're a dog or a person.

01:32Food can bring all of us together.

01:34We then decided to separate the dogs to give Sandy and Pickle some time to themselves.

01:39Hello, Pickle.

01:42Hello.

01:44Hello.

01:44Is it?

01:45Hello, Pickle.

01:46They came out their shell a lot more.

01:48I think it's just going to take time until they're comfortable with our dogs.

01:52When they tried to come back into the house, they were really unsure again.

01:56This is probably because Sandy was found in a cardboard box near rubbish bins in Belarus.

02:01She clearly has trust issues with other dogs.

02:04We then showed Sandy and Pickle where they'll be sleeping for the night.

02:09Pickle's chosen the bigger crate.

02:19She left with a good look at herself.

02:24They were both so tired.

02:26What a crazy first day that must have been for them.

02:28I thought it was time for bed.

02:31Oh my god, yes.

02:32We know how crazy you are.

02:41That's the high five.

02:42Pickle.

02:48Pickle.

02:49Pickle.

02:53Pickle.

02:57And then we noticed Sandy was looking bloated.

03:00We were a bit worried, but it's probably because of all the stress she's been through.

03:04So we spoke to the rescue who got her over here and made some morrow carrot soup for her.

03:08This would help settle her stomach.

03:11Yes.

03:13Good girl.

03:14We also offered some to Pickle, but she was also probably too stressed to eat.

03:20They finally settled for the night.

03:22I wonder if they'll be feeling any more confident in day two.

03:25Kobe and Moki were out on a walk, which gave these two some time to get more comfortable around us

03:29and the house.

03:38They were clearly feeling good, so then they came to wake Ella up.

03:47And then our two dogs came back.

03:56We let Kobe out first as he's more gentle, but Sandy still wasn't sure.

04:05It's okay.

04:08You can tell that Kobe really wanted to comfort Sandy.

04:11He was really patient with her and was trying his best to show her he's not a threat.

04:20After laying down, Sandy was still unsure, so I tried to act as a peacemaker.

04:25And when I petted the both of them, she felt comfortable enough to go up to him and sniff his

04:29butt.

04:37And now that Sandy and Pickle were slowly becoming more trusting of Kobe, there was still one hurdle.

04:43A one-year-old mini horse that gets a bit excited and reads the room wrong every now and then.

04:48But before we get into that, I wanted to tell you guys about something that I've never discussed on the

04:52internet before.

04:53And it ties in amazingly with the paid partner of today's video, BetterHelp.

04:57I've suffered with depression for years.

04:59At one point it got so bad, I was actually admitted into an acute day treatment centre to make sure

05:04I kept myself safe.

05:05My mental health can get really bad.

05:07I get really bad anxiety and don't like going into public places.

05:11And I can start to worry about literally anything and everything.

05:15Whilst having the dogs was a massive part of helping me get through my depression,

05:19the biggest difference I saw was actually when I started talking to a therapist.

05:22When we first started our therapy sessions, I found it pretty hard to open up.

05:26And in all honesty, pretty uncomfortable.

05:28It's never easy telling someone everything you're going through.

05:31But it wasn't long until my therapist started to help me understand why I was feeling the way I was

05:36feeling.

05:37And began to give me professional advice on how to deal with this.

05:40You falling asleep?

05:41And so when BetterHelp reached out to work with us, we were so excited.

05:45BetterHelp is a platform where therapists and people like yourself can communicate effectively and get the most out of therapy.

05:51It's really easy to get started with BetterHelp too.

05:54You just need to fill out a questionnaire and they'll match you with a suitable therapist.

05:59One of the best features about BetterHelp is that if the therapist doesn't feel like a right fit,

06:03you can easily switch to another one until you find someone that you really connect with.

06:07So if you're struggling right now and think you would like to give therapy a go, think about giving BetterHelp

06:12a try.

06:12You can use our link betterhelp.com forward slash the golden Kobe family and get 10% off your first

06:18month of therapy.

06:19And I'll put the link in the description as well.

06:22And now back to Moki, completely misreading the room.

06:25Moki, she's like staring so intensely at Paul.

06:28She wants to have a sniff.

06:31She's also got a workout.

06:35She's more than...

06:37She doesn't want to know.

06:48You're not doing anything wrong about you.

06:50You're just trying to say hi.

06:53But she is learning.

06:56Good girl.

06:58So Kobe and Moki fell asleep.

07:00Sandy and Pickle have somewhat of a newfound confidence,

07:03but they're a bit too scared to go past the open gate.

07:06So we opened the gate a bit more and tried to give them some confidence.

07:10They did manage to make it past the gate and we were so proud of them.

07:14They then continued to tiptoe around the sleeping dogs, which we found really funny.

07:24Pickle's in our own little world.

07:29Pickle had her harness on for the first time, so we were doing some reward training with them.

07:33They were both really smart and then we tried to teach Sandy to sit.

07:36Sit.

07:39Yes.

07:40Sit.

07:42Yes.

07:42And then all the dogs showed their first sign of bonding.

07:45Well done, Ella.

07:49Oh my god, look.

07:52Oh god, it's not for you, is it?

07:54Well done, Pickle.

07:55Oh, you're the bravest of them all.

07:57Haha.

08:02Oh, that was good.

08:03Did you see that?

08:04Yeah.

08:06Just gonna tell you off, Moki.

08:12This confidence definitely stayed with them, because in the morning of day 3, whilst Kobe and Moki were out, the

08:18dogs really started to show their true selves.

08:27Pickle's dominating her.

08:29He's like, listen mate.

08:31I'm the boss here.

08:34You want some?

08:35You want some?

08:36Yeah?

08:37True.

08:37I'll give it to you.

08:40Oh my god.

08:42Sandy, come back.

08:43Sandy, come on.

08:45Sandy.

08:47Sandy, come on.

08:49Good girl.

08:50Because of all the playing, the dogs absolutely hoovered their food down, and when Kobe and Moki came back, there

08:56was definitely a change.

08:58Come on then.

09:03Oh, brave girl.

09:05Come on.

09:06Come on.

09:07Come on.

09:08Brave girl.

09:09Well done.

09:16Moki.

09:26Good girl.

09:27Good girl.

09:28Doing very well.

09:30Well done.

09:31Well done.

09:32Things were looking up, but there was definitely more work to do.

09:39Moki, out.

09:41Moki, out.

09:44They're not all best friends yet, but in day four, things started to look a bit different.

09:50With the dogs getting more comfortable, we decided to take them on a walk.

09:54But we did keep Pickle in a carrier.

09:56She's still small and a bit more scared, so we wanted to ease her into things.

10:00This meant Sandy didn't have her playmate, so she was a bit unsure at first.

10:06But Kobe and Moki played to show her it's okay.

10:09Then Sandy started to gain some confidence.

10:12What?

10:13What?

10:14Yeah, what?

10:15I'm sorry.

10:16Good girl, Pickle.

10:18Good girl, Pickle.

10:20Done, Sandy.

10:20You're not scared.

10:21I'm excited.

10:27Careful, Sandy.

10:28Woo!

10:29Hello, Moki.

10:38How are you doing Pickle erasable on an airplane?

10:43Well done, Sandy.

10:45What are you doing?

10:49Oh, Sandy.

10:51Oh, good girl.

10:53Yeah, well done.

10:54Mum's going to clean that up, too.

10:56Pickle.

10:57Come on, Sandy.

11:09And when we got home, you could instantly see that was a massive bonding experience for all dogs.

11:15Yes, good dogs.

11:19Oh, Sandy.

11:21Give him Moki kisses.

11:23Oh, good dogs.

11:26This meant by day five, the dogs were starting to act like they've been here all their life.

11:31That was until we took them on their second walk in a little bit.

11:35Hello, Pickle.

11:39Hello, Pickle.

11:40Go on.

11:40Get up.

11:41Go on, Pickle.

11:42Get up.

11:42Go on, Pickle.

11:44Dogs.

11:45Dogs.

11:46Dogs.

11:48Oh, my God.

11:51Because Pickle felt so comfortable now, we thought this was the perfect time for her first walk.

11:56Pickle, come on.

11:57She was so brave from the very beginning, that was until Sandy and Pickle saw another dog for the first

12:02time.

12:07It's okay. It's okay.

12:10It was just an adorable car-moled dog. Pickle wasn't too bad, but you could tell Sandy was really unsure.

12:16We just hoped she didn't shut down again after.

12:27But, they continued their walk, which was really good, until we saw another dog.

12:32Hello.

12:34Yeah.

12:40Well done, Sandy.

12:45Sandy, come here. Sandy, who's this?

12:48Good job, yes.

12:50She did so much better. We were so proud of how they were all coming along.

12:54All the bonding on the walks, and Kobi and Moki showing them the outside is safe, has now meant that

12:59all dogs get along now.

13:02Moki, out. Moki, out.

13:05But, maybe not all dogs. Pickle still didn't like Moki.

13:08But, you won't believe what happens with these two in the next couple days.

13:13Moki didn't give up, though. She's a Doberman, and Dobies are really stubborn.

13:17She made it her mission to become best friends with Pickle.

13:20Moki, nicely.

13:22All of this playing and stimulation really tired out our dogs, and then, Ella found a way to help Moki

13:28bond with Pickle.

13:41And, of course, Kobi being the older and more calm dog, they were completely fine around him now.

13:46In day six, the dogs felt at home. They went absolutely nuts in the morning.

13:50Come on, then. Good morning, dogs.

13:53Okay, yeah. Very exciting.

13:56Sandy.

13:58Come on. Come on, dogs. Out.

14:00Come on.

14:01Come on, Moki.

14:04Come on.

14:05Yeah, hello, Kong.

14:06But, Pickle still did not like Moki.

14:08I'm very...

14:11So, Moki kept trying with her.

14:13This was her last ditched attempt to win over Pickle's heart.

14:17But when Moki realized Pickle's bite attempt towards her became more gentle,

14:21she knew it was only a matter of time before she had a new buddy for life.

14:49It's amazing that Pickle is able to trust again because she was left in a carrier near a rescue in

14:54Belarus.

14:55She's only around eight months old and already been through so much.

15:01Pickle is probably so loving now because she's subscribed to the channel.

15:05If you could too, that would be amazing.

15:08Moki, down.

15:09Good girl.

15:11Good girl, Moki. You're doing really well.

15:14And they end up playing all night together until day seven arrived.

15:20Kobe is not a morning dog and so he tells everyone off because he just wants to start his day

15:26in peace.

15:33Sandy decides she would like to play with Moki's toy but is still unsure how to ask Moki how to

15:38play together.

15:40Moki.

15:42Moki.

15:43Zina, look up.

15:48Over the next week, the dogs played and played.

15:51They really became a pack.

15:52But we are only fostering Sandy and Pickle.

15:55And I know they have formed an amazing bond with our two dogs.

15:58But if we were to keep them, we wouldn't have been able to help out our previous fosters.

16:02Rusa.

16:02Or Sheila.

16:03Or Zippy.

16:05This is always the hardest part.

16:07We vetted all potential new adopters and someone finally came to meet Pickle on day 14 of having her.

16:13Pickle was a little unsure at first.

16:15This is the first time someone new has come into the house.

16:19But it didn't take long for her to start warming up to her potential new family.

16:24They didn't want to be named so we're just going to be calling them the family.

16:27We somehow ended up forming like a comfort circle for Pickle.

16:30It was adorable and you could tell Pickle felt really safe and loved.

16:34The family went away and not surprisingly decided they wanted to adopt Pickle.

16:38We only had a few days left with her and this was really hard.

16:41By the way, if you're wondering who that massive new dog is, that's our latest foster.

16:45Be sure to subscribe to watch our future video on her.

16:48We make it our job to foster these pups and help them get their confidence back.

16:52But when they leave, it is really emotional.

16:54The family were a perfect match for Pickle.

16:57Very gentle and loving.

16:58And although this seems like this is the end for Pickle, this is actually just the start.

17:02She's come all the way from a rescue in Belarus to RPAC here in the UK.

17:06Learning to bond with a dog 10 times the size of her.

17:09And now finding her forever family.

17:11She is only 8 months old and she has her whole life ahead of her now.

17:16We are still looking for suitable adopters for Sandy.

17:18But for Pickle, this is goodbye for now.

17:21Thank you for being the bravest little dog we have ever had.

17:24We got some photos from her new family and they've said she's settling in really well.

17:28Which brings a happy tear to my eye.

17:30YouTube has chosen this video for you to watch next.

17:32So give it a tap or a click.

17:34Thanks for watching.

17:34Bye.
