00:00 Hi, sweet girl.
00:01 Po was my 20-year-old rescue pity.
00:04 And Finn was found with about 35 other dogs
00:06 in a hoarding situation.
00:08 And Penny, she was a puppy when she was rescued.
00:12 They were just the dynamic trio.
00:14 Ready?
00:14 All three of them got along really well.
00:17 Po lasted nine years with us.
00:19 It was such a bright spot in our lives.
00:21 After we lost Po, Finn and Penny really
00:24 found comfort in one another.
00:28 Finn especially is just so devoted to Penny.
00:32 He looks to her for assurance.
00:34 He waits for her to get in the car.
00:35 He waits for her to go outside.
00:37 He wants to do everything with Penny.
00:39 And when they get in the car together, they snuggle up.
00:41 And they just really, I think, appreciate
00:43 what each other has to offer.
00:44 Pennies.
00:45 Please.
00:49 Penny.
00:52 They get a bunch of blankets in the backseat
00:54 just to make it as comfortable as possible for them.
00:56 And the second they get in that car,
00:57 they curl up into little balls and they rest on each other.
01:00 They're just so comfortable and at peace
01:01 being around one another.
01:03 Hi, sweetheart.
01:04 Your brother's an idiot.
01:05 We will be working during the day,
01:07 and we won't hear the dogs.
01:08 And we'll go into the master bedroom,
01:09 and they'll be curled up together on their couch.
01:13 I almost look at Penny as like Finn's therapy dog.
01:16 Penny is definitely the more confident of the two.
01:18 And I think Finn admires that about her.
01:20 And he looks to her for that because he doesn't maybe
01:22 have that much confidence.
01:23 You look so handsome.
01:26 But what he gives her in return is he saves
01:29 parts of his meals for her.
01:30 She is so food-driven.
01:32 I watch him, and he kind of pulls back from his food.
01:34 And she goes in and eats the rest of his food.
01:36 And he just lays there and kind of watches.
01:38 He's totally fine with it.
01:41 Finn is 14.
01:42 Penny's around 10 or 11 years.
01:44 You can't call Penny a bulldozer because she's
01:47 just so free spirit.
01:49 But she knows he's getting older,
01:51 and I do think she's gotten a little bit gentler with him.
01:53 And Finn is a very dapper old man.
01:55 I call him my superhero when I get an iced coffee.
01:58 He stands in the middle console of my car.
02:00 And I go to unwrap the straw.
02:02 And I hand it to him, and he pulls the wrapper off for me.
02:06 Thank you.
02:08 It's just something he's done for years now.
02:10 I don't know why, and I don't know how he figured this out.
02:12 But I tell him he's my superhero,
02:14 and he's very proud when he removes the wrapper for me.
02:16 Oh, thank you.
02:21 He's still just such a goofy--
02:23 like, a buffoon is such a good word to call it.
02:25 I mean that as a complete compliment.
02:28 Finn's bubble has always been really small,
02:30 and that's a trust thing, right?
02:31 There's likely no place he would rather be than with Penny.
02:34 When I take him for his therapy, when we come home,
02:37 they greet each other with just wagging tails,
02:39 and they're doing the sniff.
02:40 And I'm pretty sure they're telling each other
02:42 that they missed one another.
02:43 I look at Finn and Penny when they're cuddled up,
02:45 and I am just so grateful that they found safety and security.
