00:00 Rogue came in to an emergency clinic around the driveway.
00:02 She lost her siblings and Rogue was also shot in the paw.
00:06 I'm Katie and this is Rogue's story for GeoBeats.
00:10 We were not looking for her,
00:11 but somehow the universe brought her to us.
00:14 Our little bulldog bonded with her
00:21 and before we knew it, we had two dogs.
00:23 Rogue's paw has healed completely.
00:26 It's amazing to see her run around
00:28 like it doesn't affect her at all.
00:29 What did I just walk in on?
00:31 No one claimed her.
00:32 I think it was like a homeless situation.
00:33 What were you doing?
00:34 She will have arthritis in the future,
00:36 but they literally healed her bones together.
00:39 So it's kind of amazing what the puppy body
00:41 and technology we have, medicine, can do.
00:43 She lives a very full life.
00:46 She loves to do anything and everything.
00:49 Who is it?
00:50 She does not want to be left at home.
00:51 The number one thing that people say about Rogue
00:55 is that she's beautiful, and she is,
00:57 but I also tell her she's very kind, smart,
00:59 and she can do anything she wants.
01:01 She knows how to open doors on her own, open windows.
01:07 She's very clever.
01:08 Too smart for her own good.
01:09 I have just sort of been a believer
01:16 that I don't choose a dog,
01:18 and I believe Rogue chose us.
01:20 She is very loving.
01:24 She'd look up at me.
01:25 She had those big little eyes,
01:27 and she would fall asleep right in my arm.
01:29 Sleepy girl.
01:33 After losing our little bulldog,
01:35 we thought Rogue would benefit from having a friend
01:38 to play with someone in the house,
01:39 to get her energy out, and to socialize her.
01:42 Stewie is our recent foster fail,
01:45 got transferred to the rescue near us.
01:48 He had, I think, three siblings,
01:49 and they all got adopted,
01:50 and we don't know why he didn't get adopted, actually.
01:52 As soon as Rogue saw Stewie, she was like,
01:54 "Yep, throw that one in the car.
01:55 "He's good to go."
01:56 She literally was just like,
01:58 "Welcome to our home.
01:59 "Isn't it the best?
02:00 "This is amazing.
02:01 "I'm so glad I get to share it with you."
02:03 She was so generous and really sweet,
02:05 and Stewie just soaked it all up.
02:07 They are the best part of our day.
02:09 Yesterday, they went to daycare,
02:10 and they were gone all day,
02:11 and we were sad.
02:12 We missed them, and they were just playing
02:14 with their other friends,
02:15 and we absolutely missed them.
02:16 And when we saw them, when we got home,
02:17 we were so excited.
02:18 It was just for a day.
02:20 It wasn't even overnight.
02:21 And we genuinely miss them,
02:22 because they bring that energy, that positivity,
02:25 that love, that life to the house.
02:27 They are what make us a family,
02:29 and we wouldn't have it any other way.
02:32 Rogue is very happy and smiles more now.
02:39 She's just more present and excited.
02:42 I think she really was sad
02:43 after losing her sister last year,
02:45 and having a brother really helps
02:47 bring out her personality.
