00:00Hey, what you doing up there?
00:04Oh, I can't with this dog.
00:08I don't think I've gotten any alone time in the past year.
00:11And honestly, I prefer it that way.
00:13He follows us around everywhere.
00:15He always knows how to put a smile on my face,
00:17which is so valuable to me.
00:19I think he knows that I need this now more than ever.
00:23My son rescued Prince,
00:25and he's a constant reminder and representation
00:27of our son's love.
00:29About a year ago, my son was killed in a tragic accident.
00:35Prince has been, oh my gosh,
00:38literally my emotional support animal.
00:46There's a lot of times that I'll just hold him and cry,
00:50and he just takes it.
00:52Sometimes his little eyes will just look at me.
00:54He'll lick my face, lick my tears.
00:57I don't know, I kind of feel like maybe he knows,
01:00so he's very loving.
01:02When my son passed away,
01:04we had several people that gifted us blankets
01:07with his pictures on them.
01:10He'll hold on to them.
01:12He doesn't want to share them.
01:14I don't know if he can see it or what it is,
01:18but he'll wrap himself in them.
01:20When my son was around,
01:22he gave me the name of Granny.
01:25Everyone knows that these are like my grandbabies.
01:28One of the things that I have been trying to advocate
01:31is what happens to animals after their loved ones die.
01:35They're so used to this one person.
01:38And my son knew.
01:40He knows that we're doing what he would have done.
01:44I feel like it's taking in his kids.
01:46There was never a question about it.
01:49At first, he was very shy and nervous
01:53when we introduced him to our other dogs.
01:57Prince started coming out of his shell,
02:00and I think he started to realize,
02:02oh, that could be silly.
02:04We've gotten a lot closer.
02:07He's like a child.
02:09He steals everything.
02:11What are you doing?
02:13It could be a ball or a sock.
02:17He doesn't want to miss out on anything.
02:21Okay, thank you.
02:24He still is very clingy.
02:27There are times when I'm like, oh, a ball.
02:30Oh, thank you.
02:33But I do appreciate it.
02:35He's been a blessing to have during this time.
02:40Oh, my goodness.
02:42What are you doing?
02:46He's smiling like that.
02:48What are you doing?
02:52Oh, I missed you.
