00:00Hi, baby.
00:05Hi.
00:08Oh, honey.
00:11You have nowhere to go.
00:13We were prepared to jump in the water to get her.
00:17We're going to help you.
00:21Hi, pretty.
00:24Oh, sweet girl.
00:26Hello.
00:27Hello.
00:30We could tell that there was some obvious trauma.
00:32She didn't want to be in this situation.
00:34And the closer I got to her, even as slow as I was going,
00:37she was looking around, looking for her exit route.
00:43She wanted to go past me, but she was too scared to.
00:46I was saying out of my breath,
00:47please don't jump, please don't jump,
00:48because that water was really, really cold.
00:50It was very cold that day.
00:54Good girl.
00:55Good girl.
00:56Look, who is that?
00:57I wanted her to trust me, but there was no way she was going to.
01:00But in that moment, it was pretty much a life or death thing,
01:03because if she wouldn't have been on the dock where she was at that time,
01:06we would have never been able to catch her.
01:12Good girl.
01:14Look at Kevin.
01:17Nice.
01:20When I got close to her,
01:21I could see that she had one blue eye and one brown eye,
01:23and she was so pretty.
01:26She most likely lived her life outside,
01:28and her demeanor and behavior showed us that
01:31she hasn't had a whole lot of socialization.
01:33We brought her into our office,
01:34so we could look her over as best as we could without touching her.
01:42Kind of just let her hang out
01:44and get used to the shelter and people the first few days.
01:49Good girl.
01:51Good girl.
01:52We tried to use treats as a form to bond.
01:55We started just small, light touches,
01:58and if she didn't like it, we would stop.
02:00Mingo only started to come out of her shell
02:02when we started introducing her to other dogs.
02:06Ralphie was the first dog that Mingo got to meet.
02:09That was the first time we'd ever seen her raise her tail,
02:12perk her ears up because she was excited to see another dog.
02:15Good job.
02:18Mingo definitely needs a special family
02:20that has time and patience to work with her and show her love.
