00:00 From the very first day I got Hippo as a foster,
00:02 I wanted to show people there's so many amazing dogs out there
00:15 who've been sitting in shelters,
00:21 waiting for someone to save them.
00:24 But what I wasn't expecting was that Hippo was about to save me.
00:36 Hippo bonded with my partner right away and followed him around everywhere.
00:52 He had a few medical issues we had to take care of.
01:01 He had a lot of firsts which were adorable to witness.
01:12 We taught him some stuff and once he was feeling better,
01:27 he started to find his voice.
01:34 I realized how truly weird he is.
01:50 I obviously became pretty obsessed.
02:00 About two months after we brought him home, my partner and I broke up.
02:12 Going through a breakup is a full-time job.
02:19 Truly, heartbreak is like all-consuming, right?
02:22 I don't know if I'm supposed to go to the grocery store or like be in a meeting.
02:26 I did a lot of soul-searching.
02:28 But Hippo helped me more than anything else.
02:33 He kept me present.
02:42 And eventually, I knew I was healing.
02:53 Somehow, before my eyes, Hippo had saved my life.
03:07 And even though the plan was to foster...
03:11 We both knew he was already home.
03:30 I believe this goofy house Hippo came into my life for a reason.
03:35 And I'm so grateful.
