Make Animal topia radio show something really Special and i'm
really looking forward to this. New journey so let me
tell you two quick stories about my own dogs and
my best friends before we wrap up this. ABBREVIATED episode
i grew up, loving animals and when my WIFE and
i finally bought, our home while she was thinking about,
school systems, paint colors, AND furniture i was thinking about
when can we go and adopt. A, dog well my
birthday rolled around and we were out looking for the
right dog. For us we searched the adoption websites and
went to some of the, adoption events but we just
couldn't find the right dog. For us until at, one event,
we noticed through all the chaos and people grabbing at,
different dogs there was this one particular dog perched peacefully
in a, woman's arms and this dog just seemed to be.
Observing everyone my wife commented, to me that's the type
of dog that. WE need i agreed and went to
the lady to ask what breed of dog it was
not realizing that this dog was in fact up. For
adoption as we started to talk about, the dog she
let the dog down to stretch. Its legs she told
me the horrible story that it occurred with. This dog
she told us that the dog had been thrown out
of a car at an outlet shopping center and left.
For dead some people had seen it happen and gotten the,
security guard who happened to be this. Lady's husband he
rescued the dog and helped care. For it she said
that they needed to adopt the dog out as they
had their own full house and this this dog needed some.
Special attention as SHE and i, WERE talking i noticed.
Something amazing the dog was slowly walking her way through
the group of people and heading straight for where my wife.
Was sitting she laid down near, my wife who was
looking at the other dogs that were up. For adoption
the dog then proceeded to crawl a few feet closer
every minute, or two until she finally put a pall
on my wife's lap and looked up to see if it.
Was okay my wife melted and, said yes and the
dog climbed into. Her lap the LADY and i looked at,
each OTHER and, i said we don't have to look for.
Our dog our dog just. Found us we all hugged
and she helped us through the rest of. THE paperwork
i was over the moon in love with his dog
before we even finished signing. The paperwork it was clear
this dog was a. Genius dog, after all she noticed
the SAME thing i did in just a. Few minutes
there was really something special about. My. Wife well we Named,
her sugar as all she wanted to do was be
in our laps and give us hugs. AND kisses a few,
weeks later in, a rainstorm my Wife and sugar went
out in the backyard So that sugar could go to
the bathroom one, last time, And unfortunately sugar's leg gave
away and it was. VERY severe i Scooped up sugar
and we drove to the VET as i sang to
keep her and my. Wife calm, once there the vet
assured us she would, be okay though she may lose.
Her leg we didn't really care. About that we only
cared that she. Would survive we would love her no. Matter,
what then in a, later conversation the vet told us
about a practicing vet that he knew who was a
local who might be able to craft a titanium leg.
FOR her i spoke to the vet and found Out
that sugar was a good candidate for, the operation so
we went ahead with. The surgery it, was successful and
after a few weeks of me carrying her around in
a baby carrier on, my chest she was healthy, and
HAPPY and i had established myself as the crazy dog
loving guy in. THE neighborhood i would go on business
appointments and walks with my dog and her, casted life
and people would. Just stare they would say, to me
do you carry around photos of your dog and your wallets?
As well that question would ignite my imagination in. Business
sense in the, near future as, YOU'VE heard I decided
i would open a photography business focused on, animal photography
with a desire to create creative heirloom portraits for. Pet
owners i'd create those scenes, and themes but instead, OF
children i would put animals into. The scene, You know
sugar doesn't like to be in too many of THE
scenes i create or the outfits, we USE and i
never force any animal to do something they don't want.
To Do but sugar inspired, me then and she inspires.
Me daily sugar is my best friend and has had
an amazingly positive impact in. My life she's a guardian for,
my family and she's gentle and playful. AS well i
share the Story of sugar with YOU as i want
you to know this show comes from. My heart it
is inspired by animals and cared for by. THIS human
i haven't shared the Story, of zoe my other, rescue
dog which is much funnier and involves me seven feet

love and Be lovedn she's so sweet and she really
is great around my. Young Daughters after, sugar healed my
WIFE and i decided that we wanted to adopt another
dog So that sugar would have a friend and a
sister to care for and. Play WITH so i contact
a few of the RESCUE agencies i knew and let
them know we were looking For, a Labrador, a retriever
Or A, german shepherd something in. That. Breed well one
of the rescue groups got back to me about a
litter of puppies that had been abandoned on one of
the most busy freeways In. Southern california we arranged for
her to bring the dogs over to meet and Play.
With Sugar so sugar could help choose who her new
family member. Would be We knew sugar had to be
the dominant dog and we wanted her to help pick that.
New dog so On, a sunday just after my WIFE
and i returned, from church the lady brought the puppies
over and we watched as they Played. With sugar it was.
So sweet they were Black Lab german shepherd mixes and just.
Incredibly adorable they all seemed to get along Well. With
sugar we noticed there was one dog who would run
back to us and kind of check in with us humans,
To say, i'm here so don't, go. Anywhere okay then
she'd hurry on back to. The group, you, know honestly
she was kind of the run of, the group a,
little clumsy but a whole lot. Of cute the lady
from the rescue asked us which one our family was going,
to Choose since sugar clearly loved, them all so, did
we and we really couldn't make. A DECISION then i
jokingly said to, my, wife well whichever one jumps in the,
pool first that's the one. We'll take so we had
this oversized pool in. Our BACKYARD but i certainly didn't
expect anyone to jump into the pool since it was
early spring and the water was about fifty. Eight, degrees
yet no SOONER had i said that than the little
clumsy dog with a white stripe down her belly who
checked in, with us lifted, her head ran over to,
the pool and jumped into the. Deep, end now being the,
FOOLISH husband i am dressed In my, sunday best, my,
dress shoes, dress clothes, check book, cell, phone. WALLET everything
i immediately sprang into action as both ladies yelled dog in.
THE water i sprinted and did My Best mark spitz
IMITATION as i dove into the freezing pool water and
swam over to the dog who was having no no
trouble dog paddling her. WAY, in, i however was not
so immune to the, cold WATER and i began to
do my best human booey IMITATION as i. Floated there
the ladies lifted the dog out of, the water while
showing no restraint and laughing. At me by, THE way
i started to make my way to the shallow end
while the, ladies laughed and this little dog stood there barking.
At me then the little dog looked over at me jumped,
in again swam back over to me and grabbed at.
My shirt, THIS time i scooped, her up looked at,
the LADIES and, i said we found. OUR dog i
thought this. Is. Great now i'm A CERTIFIED advance rescu,
scuba DIVER so i. LOVE swimming i love being in,
the WATER and i really wanted a dog that would
go swimming. With me, You know sugar didn't like the
water for. Obvious REASONS but, i thought here. We are

you know that was the Last time zoe we joyfully
jumped in. The pool that. Little stinker she's had my
number since. Day ONE sometimes i come home from WORK
and I find Sugar and zoe's sitting in the calm
