00:00He just looked like a bag of bones.
00:05When I saw him, I just wanted to help.
00:07All right, so there you can see how bad it is.
00:10I mean, he was 86 pounds, and he's supposed to be 160.
00:14Look at this beautiful guy.
00:17You ready to get out of here?
00:25When I first brought him in to start feeding him,
00:28we knew that it had to be something
00:30that would gain a lot of weight.
00:32So Goliath hasn't been eating for a long time.
00:35What do you think, buddy?
00:37He didn't want to eat.
00:38He had just been let down, so he needed someone to trust.
00:42He finally gave in.
00:44Good boy.
00:46As I would go to feed him, it'd be more about connecting with him
00:49and letting him know, I'm taking care of you.
00:52I can feel how stuck in his jowls.
00:55You big baby.
00:58He passed out.
01:00He had became attached with me.
01:02I became attached to him.
01:04That's a big alarm clock.
01:06Hi.
01:07Hi.
01:08I'm such a good boy.
01:09He became a big grandpa for all of my other rescue dogs coming in.
01:14Quality sniff today.
01:16He does his sniff approvals.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Good.
01:20There it is.
01:21He is the intro dog for everybody.
01:23Every puppy sleeps in his little crevices.
01:26He became the glue to the pack.
01:29Come on, big man.
01:31He started getting better.
01:33Goliath got to 160 pounds.
01:35He was looking really, really good.
01:37He shines when you get to see him look like a horse just gallivanting.
01:41It's pretty impressive.
01:45He always crosses his hands when he sleeps.
01:48Once Goliath recovered, I decided that I wanted to be the person to adopt him
01:52I could never imagine anybody ever letting him down ever again.
01:57Yeah.
01:59Good boy.
02:00He's now my dog, so he gets the ability and privilege to be very spoiled.
02:06If he wants mashed potatoes, he can have it.
02:08He gets whatever he wants in this lifetime.
02:12Goliath has lived the lifestyle of his name.
02:17He went on the Hallmark Rescue Dog Awards
02:20and ended up winning Best in Senior.
02:22That also led him to go on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
02:27Everybody loved him.
02:28Every time he'd walk in a room, he would just light it up.
02:31Here we are, yet again, trying to put my boot and clothes on.
02:36Not letting it happen.
02:38What?
02:40He's our BFG. He's our Big Friendly Goliath.
02:51Are you going to sit on your little...
02:52Oh! Hey! Oh!
02:54Puppy!
02:56Oh my god!
02:58You're sitting on her!
