00:00Come on, come on, let's go.
00:04Pop-Tart was found as a tiny, terrified little thing.
00:06Come on, good girl.
00:08She wouldn't even walk.
00:09Come on, little girl.
00:10It was heartbreaking to watch.
00:12Good girl, yeah.
00:17Nice job, you got it.
00:20Good girl.
00:21Oh, no, no, no, no, not back up.
00:25You could tell that she really wanted to be loved,
00:27but she was just so scared to approach me.
00:30Oh, honey.
00:32I have two big dogs take a long time
00:34to make friends with other dogs, especially for my dog, Bub,
00:37who's had a lot of trauma with other dogs in his past.
00:39Oh, sweet, sweetie.
00:43So whenever we have fosters, I keep
00:45them completely separate from my dogs,
00:46just for everybody's safety.
00:49So I was shocked when Pop-Tart first
00:51started to get brave and come out of her crate.
00:54I would find her hiding in the room with my dogs
00:56while they were in their crate.
01:00Surprisingly, they didn't care at all.
01:03Normally, they would bark and act all scary.
01:05Oh, my goodness.
01:10But with Pop-Tart, they were completely calm.
01:18Bub let his guard down.
01:19I had to help her see that the world wasn't such a scary
01:21place.
01:22What's going on?
01:25I didn't want to rush things and go too fast.
01:27We took things slow.
01:31Oh, my goodness.
01:33We started to do pack walks together, where we
01:38would walk close to each other.
01:39Good job, you two.
01:45Once Pop-Tart started getting more comfortable
01:48and being around my dogs, she started opening up
01:49with people more, too.
01:55Oh.
02:04After about three weeks of this,
02:05I could just see something was different in Bub.
02:08His body language was loose.
02:09He was wagging his tail.
02:10Were you going to play, Bubba?
02:12Good job, you guys.
02:14Let the dogs drift a little bit closer together.
02:16Super sniff, Bubba.
02:17What do you think?
02:19Good boy.
02:21And then from that day on, it was instant best friend.
02:26Pop-Tart was so happy.
02:31It was just so amazing to watch my complicated little boy
02:34truly get to be just a carefree, fun-loving dog
02:37because of this tiny little stray
02:39that had come into our lives.
02:46She just turned into a little wild child.
02:56Come here.
02:56Come here.
02:58All she wanted to do was just be in my lap and give kisses
03:01and just express her happiness at this new life of hers.
03:07Little T-Rex.
03:11I was fully in love with Pop-Tart,
03:13but as a foster, I knew that my job
03:15was to help get her ready to find her forever home
03:17so then she could move on and I could be
03:19open to help other dogs in need.
03:21This is Pop-Tart.
03:22I cried like a baby when it was time
03:24to say goodbye to her.
03:31We knew she would thrive being with another dog that
03:33could help her confidence.
03:34She has a new pity sister that she's absolutely in love with.
03:38It makes me so happy to see her in a forever home.
03:41To see Pop-Tart from where she was in the beginning
03:43and then to see her now, it's just
03:45the best feeling in the world.
03:46Woof, woof, woof.
03:47Woof, woof, woof.
03:49Woof.
03:50Oh my goodness.
03:54What are you guys doing?
03:55Ha ha ha ha ha.
03:57Good boy.
03:58Ha ha ha ha ha.
