00:00If I could describe Sachi's flying, I want to say euphoric.
00:07Sachi's ultimate pet routine includes flying across the house because he simply can't contain
00:13his joy and making sure everyone around him feels just as happy. Sachi went from being two hours
00:20away from euthanasia to quite literally soaring across his forever home within seconds of arriving.
00:27I was volunteering. So I saw him the very first day that he came in. It was heartbreaking
00:32to say that he was deaf. I already had a deaf dog at home, Nali. I was teaching him sign
00:40language.
00:41Our body became really strong at the shoulder. Then the day came when I got a phone call that
00:46he was going to be euthanized that day. And I just left work, got in my car, and went and
00:55got him.
00:58The minute we got home, it's like something clicked in him, but he just started, like, flying.
01:08Sachi's daily routine pretty much looks like cuddles with mom, flying. Cuddles with his siblings,
01:16flying, a nap, a nap, and more flying.
01:26Well, I pretty much rearranged our house around Sachi's flying.
01:32We've strategically moved furniture and added extra padding to it. Of course, he gets joint supplements.
01:40Our home really does cater to his flying, but I want him to be able to do what he loves
01:47for as long as he wants to.
01:49And his mom has fully embraced his shenanigans, taking things to a whole new level with costumes.
01:57When I pull out a costume and I fold it up, he's so excited.
02:10And is there any in particular that you think are extra iconic?
02:13I particularly think he loves the wings.
02:17What's this?
02:21Yes.
02:29We did Mario Brothers.
02:39While his antics undoubtedly make my day, as a pity mom, the impact of Sachi's videos go far beyond his
02:47flying.
02:47As a dedicated pity owner, we have to change that narrative.
02:51And if this is a little way that it can help.
02:56If you see this silly, smiling, flying dog, and he happens to be a pit bull,
03:02I would really like to be one tiny voice in changing that stigma.
03:08It's such a gift for me to see his face and how much joy it brings him in that he's
03:16so happy.
03:17And it never, ever gets old.
03:19But I won't talk like this either.
03:22I don't like this.
03:23Again, as an adult video, it can make us a good idea.
03:26We'll have to watch it.
03:27It can be like this, but hopefully it'll be better to find it.
03:29You can watch it again.
