00:00 - Oh, boy.
00:00 - I couldn't even believe what I was looking at.
00:02 This dog was clearly on the street, he was emaciated,
00:05 he was sick, he was only using two legs.
00:08 - Doesn't seem like it hurts him.
00:09 - No, he doesn't care.
00:11 - Doesn't care at all.
00:12 - He's so sweet.
00:13 I mean, what a sweetie.
00:16 The pit bulls are vicious.
00:18 - Yeah.
00:19 - The pit bulls were vicious.
00:21 - I'm Wendy Cummings, I'm a comedian,
00:24 and forever a foster mom.
00:27 - I'm Wendy Cummings.
00:28 - Forever a foster mom.
00:30 - Yes.
00:32 - Kaylee Cuoco sent me this link to this dog.
00:35 He was only using two legs.
00:37 And she's like, "We gotta do something."
00:40 I just saw an incredible spirit.
00:42 - Boy, let's get out of here, huh?
00:47 - That's my favorite thing to be able to say to a dog is,
00:50 "We'll take it from here."
00:51 - I can't believe how cute you are.
00:53 You wanna come up here, baby?
00:55 - The first time he came over,
00:56 his personality was like,
00:58 "Why is everyone so focused on these two legs?
01:01 "Why doesn't he feel sorry for me?
01:02 "Let's party."
01:02 - Hi, baby.
01:04 Oh, yeah, I got you now.
01:07 You're fine.
01:08 You're fine, I know.
01:11 I know.
01:11 - Aw, that was a little back leg.
01:15 - Clearly, he had been in some kind of accident
01:17 when he was a baby.
01:19 - Fix that, too.
01:20 - And then he was fighting so hard to walk
01:22 that his spine started accommodating it.
01:24 He was able to balance himself on two left legs.
01:28 Vets didn't even know what to say.
01:29 They were like, "I can't, there's nothing explains this."
01:32 Hey, buddy, buddy.
01:33 I don't think he had been in a house
01:34 with a lot of stairs before me.
01:36 Honey, honey.
01:37 Oh, my gosh, honey, honey.
01:39 I did stand there, waited patiently,
01:41 was ready to catch him if he fell,
01:43 but really wanted him to have faith in his body.
01:45 You wanna show everyone your new hip?
01:48 You got a new hip.
01:49 We had to get him a hip replacement surgery.
01:52 Thanks for my new hip, Kaylee.
01:54 Yeah, I'm still making her.
01:56 And the front paw, they thought, should be cut off.
02:00 And I was like, "I think he kinda uses it."
02:02 All we needed to do was get him to be able to lift it
02:05 just an inch so that it wouldn't drag on the ground.
02:08 Did I make you a little sleepy?
02:10 And I was like, "I just think he can do it."
02:11 I believe that he can, I believe that he wants to,
02:13 and I believe that he understands what the goal is.
02:16 Okay, so doing his physical therapy is not easy.
02:20 Sorry about the butthole.
02:22 'Cause he's so wily and wants to run around,
02:25 so I have to basically give him a treat
02:28 and then lay on him.
02:29 Things you do for love.
02:31 Where you going?
02:33 I'd watch him beat the odds every single day in front of me.
02:36 I saw this dog jump on beds, an impossible thing
02:39 he overcame on a daily basis.
02:42 Then he really did start to pull up that front paw.
02:46 It started to get higher and higher,
02:48 and he started building a little bit of muscle there,
02:50 and a little more, and a little more.
02:52 Magic Pony really taught me that there is an inexplicable,
02:57 invisible, magical element that can help us heal faster
03:02 and overcome obstacles that we never thought
03:04 were possible before.
03:05 He just taught me that it's time to enjoy your life.
03:09 Sorry guys, I'm very distracted.
03:11 I do have a foster dog who is very handicapped,
03:14 who just wants time.
03:16 He's so heavy.
03:17 Is this audio gonna be annoying with him panting?
03:19 - Yes. - Yeah.
03:21 He just wants a home.
03:22 That's all I want is love.
03:24 I fostered Magic Pony for about two years.
03:29 I was so attached to him.
03:30 I was hoping I'd be able to keep him forever,
03:32 but because I have three other dogs,
03:35 it was just unfair for me to not give him
03:37 the home that he deserved.
03:38 Is it your big day?
03:42 Get over here.
03:43 Is it your big day?
03:44 Are you so excited?
03:46 Oh my God, he's so excited.
03:47 When did you?
03:48 Bree, the reason I knew right away
03:50 that she was his forever mom
03:54 is that she didn't pity him.
03:56 She was so excited.
03:58 It was almost like they'd been together forever.
04:01 And then she walked out and he just followed her.
04:03 Like got in the car and that was it.
04:04 And it was like, oh yeah,
04:05 that's exactly how that was supposed to happen.
04:08 So I am about to see Magic Pony for the first time
04:12 in almost a year.
04:14 We didn't really have a proper goodbye
04:16 'cause I just knew I was gonna be too sad,
04:18 but Bree lives in San Diego
04:20 and I was down here performing, doing standup,
04:23 and I was like, can I see Magic?
04:26 I'm gonna cry, I already feel it.
04:27 I think the most emotional moment was just when,
04:32 before I saw him actually,
04:34 before he even knew I was there,
04:35 watching them walk up and seeing him,
04:38 how happy he was.
04:40 He just lives by the beach with Bree,
04:42 who loves him so much.
04:44 (waves crashing)
04:46 Hello!
04:48 (laughing)
04:51 Seeing him in his element,
04:53 his new life with his paw up high
04:55 and his body working.
04:57 No, I gotcha!
04:58 This is the life I would have given anything
05:02 to give to him, this exact life.
05:05 I gotcha boy!
05:06 Oh, the boy, the boy!
05:08 Honestly, there's just no better ending
05:09 to a story like that.
05:11 Pony boy, Magic Pony boy.
05:14 It's just nothing short of a miracle.
05:16 This is the best life I've ever seen.
05:20 See this foot.
05:21 Oh, his foot is completely healed!
05:27 (upbeat music)
05:29 (guitar strumming)
05:32 (upbeat music)
