Abandoned 1920s Department Store - Found Dog Inside 

The guy is getting pissed about them being concerned about the dog while storing the dog in a rotting asbestos-filled hellscape.

To be honest, dogs should not be in places like that, you definitely did the right thing.

"I come out my house" Mate... you have a house, don't lock your dogs in a "storage bin" if you have a better place.

I love it when people try to justify their actions based on how long they’ve been doing something. Like, just because you’ve been doing it so long doesn’t mean that it’s right.

Dan is such a good person. The minute he heard a dog was in trouble he showed up

Man, that guy at the end is cleary unwell if he thinks he's "selling clothes out of his storage unit".

Shout out to the boys for trying to help out some dogs. Hope the whole situation turned out alright.

Like other people in the comments, my absolute first thought as soon as you discovered a pit bull in an abandoned building was some kind of dog fighting angle. You lads did 100% completely the right thing.

"That's my storage bin" Yes, I too like to store my debris and dogs together in a structurally questionable building.

"They're my babies" Yeah, because people leave their babies in abandoned buildings. Good thing you called.

You're never too old to act like you're ringing someone up on the cash register.

Judging by the temper of that dog owner, you probably did a big favor to the animals

From a licensed veterinary technician thank you for saving those dogs. I can honestly think of 100 things that could’ve gone wrong with them being there.

Guy left the dogs in a asbestos moldy ridden building. You did the right thing.

Dan: That looks like the owner. Proper People: Nah, that's animal control. Dan: Hi, I'm the one that called it in. Owner: 😡

I worked as a cashier for four years at a retail store, and seeing those old registers was really awesome! They don’t compare to the beautiful and highly ornate antique cash registers that are 100+ years old, but they were still cool to see. 😁

"that's my baby" he says, about a dog he has locked in a building that's rotting away and covered in shit. i hope animal control took those dogs away from him.

I like how thoughtful they were not to stress the pigeons out

That dog wasn't shaking scared, he was wagging his cropped nub, he was actually happy to see you guys.

That poor dog, I hope he got to a better situation.

That dude doesn't deserve to have pets of any kind if he treats them like that

you did the right thing! you do NOT keep animals locked inside a building that could collapse any second!

very nice response to seeing the dog, not crowding it's space and recognizing scared dogs can react very quickly with "aggression". He's definitely a good boy dog. Those barks and growls are all fear and uncertainty based, not actual aggression. He's trying to be scary to avoid a fight. good of you to notice he wasn't actually that thin. underweight but not emaciated. I understand how hard it is to be homeless with pets. been there myself. but you did the right thing with the information you had. it's not your fault the system has failed homeless folk so completely and totally.

My favorite part is Bryan's utter innocent joy at finding the old-timey cash registers

It wouldn’t be a Proper People episode without random canines appearing.

28:50 "March 30, 1982". Crazy to think that paper has been in that machine for my entire life. I was born in '88. Not super young anymore. But every instance in my life I can think of, that paper was just there, on that old machine. Amazing.

That guy shouldn't have dogs. SMH

Damn, this literally hits close to home. I live a few miles away from the city, on the outskirts of Baltimore County. Baltimore (imo) is known for abandoned places in very poor condition. You always hear police sirens, car sirens, dogs, among other things. All common themes, including the abuse, neglect, and mistreatment of animals. Malnourished and nearly dead animals are common, along with homelessness of both man and animal. Its not Baltimore without the almost daily shootings and death and all the previously mentioned things. Shitty people who go WAY too far are common. And I get why most of the time. Now there are nice and beautiful places in Baltimore that do not have all this, but they're a longer drive and are harder to see from the perspective of a tourist. Thank you with all my heart for saving those babies. They came to you guys and you listened. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I love pitbulls and it kills me seeing them in such bad condition and from no fault of their own. They're my favorite breed (along with their mixes) and you have no idea how happy it makes me when I see someone save or help them! Thank you again

You guys did the right thing, he’s just mad and trying to justify his wrong-doings

okay but like i appreciate how they put " - Found Dog Inside" instead of something "OMG! YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS! WE FOUND A DEAD DOG?!? MUST WATCH" like other youtubers might

Sometimes I get scared for them but then I remember the fact that if they uploaded this they must be ok

While the doggos were probably well fed and waterted, you did the best thing you could given the information you had. I hope the owner manages to get them back and house them in a more suitable place.

I'm really glad you guys called animal control. I can imagine a lot of people just passing that poor dog (dogs) by. Good on you guys for caring.

You guys didn’t do anything wrong with the dogs, you were concerned and you did the right thing, you did a good job ^^

I used to love exploring abandoned buildings as a kid. The last time I did anything like this, a friend and I explored an old abandoned school in Knoxville, where we noticed a dog tied up on a short leash outside the building. We had no idea it was a guard dog, so we let it go. it just followed us around the building, until 40 mins later we had a shotgun in our face! Apparently we didn’t notice a trailer next to the school, where they had an on-site guard on duty ;) … With some tears and smooth talking, I was able to butter him up and stay out of trouble…he even invited us back to ride go-karts, lol. I don’t have the gonads to so this as an adult…too easy to get criminal trespass charges.

"Toothpaste Green" is actually called "seafoam green" and it was EVERYWHERE beginning in the late 40s/early 50s. I grew up with my grandparents in the 80s and saw so much stuff still lingering around from then. I kinda miss it.

“Dog Inside” brought out my curiosity real fast.

That crunch when you walk up stairs is equal parts satisfying and disgusting

42:53 Bro took the dog piss thing so personally he just came out and straight up called him fat lol

Everybody’s mentioning mold, asbestos, pigeon poop, broken glass, etc but I’m thinking about the elevator shafts. Good thing the dog didn’t get anywhere near the one of the elevators like at 10:24, could have fallen to its death. 😬

Don't know if you hear it often, but you guys genuinely have the best intro I've ever seen, awesome vibe. Really love your videos, keep em coming!

Having read the comments I see that some think this is likely a case of a person down on their luck taking care of three animals. People involved in animal rescue take a longer and harder look at the circumstances. Sometimes dogs are kept in out of the way places until they can be sold into dog fighting rings or they are used for breeding to sell online or on the street. Often times dogs stashed like this are used to promote an underground economy in dog fighting or selling puppies. Even street people take better care of their pets than this video suggested and I think the authorities will be able to determine the difference.

What I like about this channel is the music choice. I'm glad they didn't put hip hop, rap music, etc. like most other urbex channels do killing the vibes. This channel is great in keeping that particularly vibe

I really hope you guys aren't breathing in asbestos fibers. and you are heroes for helping that poor dog! 💖

This has to be the crunchiest building yet

You guys did the right thing alerting the authorities. I'd have done the exact same thing. I hope those dogs are in a much better living environment now. Broken glass asbestos etc etc in that building, no place to leave a animal locked up in. You guys likely saved those dogs from injury, sickness or worse. Stay safe out there.

"He looked like a good boy." ♥️😭♥️

That was a cool find! I’m glad you had concerns for the dogs. I agree when it looks unsafe the authorities need to decide I can also understand the comments that in a pound they may not get adopted so it’s a difficult situation for everyone involved. I though wouldn’t of went back and said “I was the one who called”. I have had dogs as pets all my life and they were all cared for. We had someone call and say we abused a dog and the animal enforcement showed up and took our dog, photographed the place we kept him. We only had him 3 weeks. Later it turned out the person who called knew who surrendered him and they wanted it and called in and lied. We were cleared 100% and the two things I remember was the supervisor saying the report stated we left the dog alone without shelter and food tied to a leash but they found him in our converted family room (was a garage) with plenty of food water a bed couch and central heating and cooling and in our fenced in yard there was no tie out. He didn’t need it. Plus they had us sit in a room brought him in and he immediately ran up to us and wanted to play. We got him back had him for many many years. The caller got fined and community service. Small town we learned the rest of the story and of who it was.

"He looked like a good boy" DAMN MICHAEL YOU JUST GONNA MAKE ME CRY IN THE CLUB LIKE THAT?? D:

We found them a mascot. We can name him “The Proper Dog”

10:01 That tripped me out for a second, because my mom used to be a model, and that looks just like her.

Wait so the dogs were saved then? The video just ended with no explenation on how it all ended =S

"In this episode, we're checking out two abandoned locations in Baltimore" You just described half of Baltimore.

The dog situation has something to do with dog fighting. I don't know what the guy who claimed to be their owner was up to, but nothing about what he said added up.

Dan is a good guy, all the guys did the right thing.

All those old cash registers are so neat. They need to be saved!!

Damn that is crazy. That dude is full of crap, that's an abandoned building.

These guys are such class acts. Young kids that are not only respectful of where they go, but also kind to a potentially scary dog.

You guys did the right thing in calling the authorities to rescue this pup. Whoever put him there... shame, shame on them!!

He said. “Church bells, car alarms, and people screaming.” 😂😂😂 bro. That’s Baltimore EVERYDAY pretty much. I lived here for 28 years.

*everyone freaking out about the dog* "Uh, so I lost my grip..." xD

Most people in abandoned buildings: "Let's smash some old stuff!" The Proper People: "ARE THOSE CASH REGISTERS?!?!"

You did the right thing with the dogs. If that man was concerned or cared for his dogs he wouldn't keep them in an abandoned building.

Thank you for helping this little guys

Dude's been squatting for so long he thinks he owns the building 🙄

Sadly, I'm thinking these were bait dogs for a dog fighting ring. They looked well fed and comfortable around people. The "owners" need to stash them away somewhere as they won't be noticed because they arent going to be alive much longer.

Good on you guys for saving those dogs!

Omg poor dogs💔😔 They deserve much better Thank you for stepping in

The owners of the Building started with Guttman's in about 1930 Then they merged Braggers to become Bragger Guttman's Then Bragger Guttman's went out of business. Epstien's a local discount store moved in. Then the last store to work in that building was a bargain basement super discount store named YOUNG WORLD that sold dismally cheap things for young people and babies. The Newish elevators were installed when Epstien's used the building. The reason the elevator doors do not work is the doors and the ornate brass cross hatched gates were powered by steam. Much of downtown buildings in Baltimore use steam for heating. The elevator doors in Bragger Guttmans used stream under pressure to automatically open and close the doors. This allowed for ladies to run the huge elevators. Lady elevator operators saved the discount store money since they could be paid far less than male elevator operators. Also lady elevator operators gave the discount department store a more upscale look. Hutzler's and Stewerts employed lady elevator operators to suggest an upscale shopping experience. This store was a time capsule even before it closed. The newest thing installed by bragger Guttman's was that tiny set of escalators that went from the first to the fourth floor if my memory serves. I'm over 60 years old, autistic and disabled so my memory could be slightly faulty.

The guy is getting mad yet hes letting dogs in a building like that its unsafe and not healthy for the dogs if he cant give them a proper home he shouldn’t be owning dogs, you did the right thing by calling animal control etc Edit: i see people saying the man may be homeless etc but that doesnt excuse the fact that the animals are in a unhealthy situation its sad to get rid of a beloved pet but if you can’t provide for yourself you shouldn’t own another living being who needs alot of needs as well Another thing is that they’re supposed to be Gaurd dogs but all they did was bark or walk away , where was the man if the “barks” were to alert him, the place probably has many entrances thus making the “gaurd” dogs useless and overall its still unhealthy and dangerous to keep a dog inside

Funny I feel old..I guess I am. I remember cash registers like that when I was a little guy, they sound so cool when your actually using them when they roll over. Yup the good ol manual days. And man those cashiers could make them sing! Awesome video guys!

@ 7:16, that skylight/window was amazing! That theater was probably really lovely in the beginning of it's life. I saw a great bittersweet documentary on Turner Classic Movies about the rise and fall of "movie houses" (theaters) in America, from their beginnings in the early 20th century, to their decline only a few decades later when television became huge in the 50's. It was very well done. They described how early movie theaters were designed to be as beautiful as possible, because they were all competing with eachother for business. They showed alot of old photography of what these buildings looked like in the past, visited some that still exist, some that have become other things, and even some that are still standing but have been abandoned and are decaying, much like your video. Old movie theaters were intended to be so grand that they would last for generations. So sad that so many have completely vanished, or left unloved to crumble away. Anyways, great video, as always!

I love the look of buildings that are in really really bad shape to the point where they really shouldn’t have electricity but yet they do lights on and everything with moulding wallpaper and decaying walls and collapsing ceilings all while the florescence are still flickering away

Just FYI: if those dogs belonged to a homeless man he would not have left them out of his sight unless he absolutely had to, for example if he had to go to the hospital and they didn't allow him to bring his dogs. Dogs are literally a homeless person's entire world and they will sacrifice literally everything to ensure their dogs want for nothing. A homeless person's dog(s) would be placid and/or playful, and either have an excellent attitude toward other humans or be so devoted to their humans that they cling to them at all times. I didn't see any of that behavior with that one dog you encountered or the other dogs that turned up once Animal Control came on the scene. Also, in Dan's video you see zero sign of any dogs so they couldn't have been there the two weeks prior that Dan had shot his own video of the abandoned building; the only thing that sounded even remotely like a dog was the squeaky sound of the gas valve in the basement area where he encountered the gas leak, nor did he remark about any dog feces (the only animal feces I think i spotted in said video was bird poop). You did the right thing in calling for Animal Welfare and I can only hope they placed those poor babies in better home environments. Even a homeless man would have been a better fit for those angels.

40:04 Reminds me of next Friday when Roach gave Chico that brownie...😂😂😂

i can’t believe he was trying to justify keeping them in those conditions. i’m glad you got them out of there.

Dude adding his 2 cents in at the end had me in tears 😭 he knows that guy would've kicked his ass if he said something to his face

He said these buildings are not abandoned? Reality check my dude... anyway, I came for the chilling chair but there was none in this episode so I stayed for the register. Love you guys for taking care of the dog(s) ♥

I am sooooo happy you called someone to rescue him/her

I'm so happy that you all reported it. Thank you for doing the right thing! It breaks my heart to see dogs living in that type of environment. I'm happy to know that they're safe now!

If that man REALLY cared about his dogs' well-being; he would be glad they are going to a place with food and clean water. What an idiot. Dogs walk barefoot, one shard of broken glass or rusty nail in the paw could be life threatening. What a selfish prick. I'm sorry idc if he tried to care for them. He was never fit to do so in the first place.

I couldn't help crying when you guys were feeding the dog. You could tell it was so happy to get some treats the way it wolfed those down. His bark and behavior indicates he is friendly, but obviously scared. I hope it and the other dogs are now in a safe, loving home and their "owner" gets some help. If he's been living on that block, in those kind of conditions for 24 years, that's incredibly sad.

How could you possibly not love that dog he was so

From one animal lover to another, you did the right thing saving those dogs! They should NOT have been in an abandoned building, period!

You guys picked your name so well. Thank you for being mindful of that pup while you were exploring and coming up with a plan to make sure it was well tended afterwards one way or another. Signed, thekid whose first job was for the humane society.

“Owner” of the dogs: shouting RU-vid subtitles: *MUSIC*

Dan Bell is genuinely the best

Seeing that scared but hopeful tail-wagging while he approached you almost made me cry man.

I love how he just shouted "Dumbass!" after they rolled away!

I like how Rambo in the back seat spoke up right as they drove off, lol.

I'm glad you guys did what you did for the dogs ❤❤

finds dog "idk guys I think we need an adult" calls Dan Ball

Bottom line is someone that truly cares about their dog does not get upset with someone else having concerns about why dogs are locked in a building. I hope so much someone went and helped the dogs. The proper people did nothing wrong.

Lmao the "owner" is so pissed

My dog that passed away about a year ago looked just like that dog! It definitely was friendly, just a little unsure probably. Breaks my heart....I'd do anything to have my big girl back, and this guy's just leaving 3 dogs alone! I hate how people don't care about pets!! Makes me mad. I bet that guy wouldn't want to be locked in an abandoned building unable to have fresh water, food or consistency in his life. Poor thing!

All of you are so cute, but the new guy seen at 34:53 is really cute. Would love to run across the three of you in an abandoned place 😊.

They said they were in Baltimore and I was like "Oh that reminds me of Dan Bell." Then Dan Bell immediately appears and I literally dropped a nuke on the like button.

I nearly fell off my chair when the guy claimed that this building that obviously is about to collapse on itself was used for storage. He's probably making that claim so he doesn't have to tend to it. I feel sorry for the dogs.

AH! I LOVE that Dan came back! He's such a cool guy. Probably super interesting to know. And he's got such a calm, collected, and in control manner about himself. I love it when he explores with y'all!

Any abuser will automatically justify anything no matter how awful and morally wrong it may be, to attempt in any way possible to lessen the consequences of their actions. No living creature deserves to live in those types of conditions ever. There is no reason or excuse in the world that will ever make that okay. Good job👍
