00:30These two dogs were out on the lake bed.

00:32It was bitterly cold.

00:34There's no food out there, and the rabbits all seem to disappear in the other life.

00:38And we have very, very high winds here.

00:40We used to have a saying in England, a lazy wind.

00:43They don't go around you, they go through you.

00:45They are bitterly cold.

00:47And the winters can be very harsh out here.

00:50♪♪

01:05They were in pretty poor condition.

01:07They wouldn't have gone much longer, I don't think.

01:09♪♪

01:14We took them a dog house.

01:15We took them blankets, food and water.

01:17Scotty even stayed out and made a bonfire so we could warm up rocks for them.

01:21And they used them.

01:22So it took a while, but we got them back here.

01:24Pretty much everything you could imagine that would be wrong with these dogs were.

01:27They had parasites, ear infections.

01:29They were severely malnourished.

01:31They were dirty.

01:32They had ticks.

01:34You're excited for ice, huh?

01:36We'll get you some water in a minute.

01:39Those very critical months where he was growing up and learning what the world is,

01:43when he was out there on the lake bed.

01:45He didn't know what treats were, what pets were.

01:49Everybody's scary to him.

01:51♪♪

01:58He discovered that blankets were actually kind of nice,

02:00and he was just rolling around in it.

02:02So it's great to see those moments of discovery with him,

02:04especially after seeing him come from not knowing what anything was.

02:07Yeah.

02:09What's up, Cyan?

02:11Looking cute, though.

02:12He's really a great dog.

02:15He prances when he sees you.

02:17He's wiggly.

02:18He does jazz hands is what I call him because he'll jump up,

02:20and he won't actually jump on you, but he does this thing and dances around you.

02:24He's like a big puppy still.

02:26He has that heart and that spirit,

02:28and it's just that you have to let him trust you before you get to see it.

02:34If he would show what we get to see when people come through,

02:37I have confidence that somebody would have been able to get past

02:41that he might need a little house training.

02:44Hunter is absolutely irrefutably a survivor.

02:47Holding back is just another fight.

02:50One day we'll get him to the other side of that, too.

02:53Hunter, there he is.

03:17Yeah.
