No one wanted this puppy. Then someone gave him a chance at life. 

Thank you so much for the love you guys. Happy dog = happy owner. We do it for each other. Give your dog the best life, and you in turn live your best life. Live every day with purpose. Love deeply and go see the world.

This brought a tear to my eye! I’m a 57 year old hardened, sarcastic, jaded man because of all the turmoil in the world over the last 3 years. I had a German Shepherd that looks just like Biggie. I had her 14 years. She died in my arms on April 7, 2010. A dogs love is priceless! I think of her and all of the dogs I lost over the years! I have 2 dogs cuddled up next to me as I write this comment.

Biggie is a GIANT. And it helps that he's got a terrific owner, too.

"If you give your dog the best life you can, in turn you have the best life that you can have as well." Wow, that's profound and so very true!

Dogs are proof God loves us.

You said, “ I wanna give him the best life I can.” You took the words right outa this dogs mouth. He wants to give you the best life he can. He’s a beautiful dog. Congratulations on being a successful human being. Bless you both.

Biggie has a better life than a lot of people, including me! Scott is an amazing dad to Biggie, who will give him unconditional love and life doesn't get any better than that. I'm glad Biggie grew into his ears! 🥰

I just lost my best friend Ruby(my dog) to cancer. Your story is beautiful. Everyone says she was so lucky because we gave her so much love and she had a wonderful life. But it so much goes both ways. She was our hiking buddy, camping and swimming buddy. Thanks for sharing your story. So happy to hear happy stories for puppies looking for love. Enjoy every moment.

Biggie was clearly a gift from God at a very sad time. Thanks for sharing him with us. 👍

Seriously, I don't know why, but this is one of the best, one of the most touching, dog vids I've ever seen. I just feel this one. Love it.

There is NO better way to end my RU-vid viewings for the night than with a happy dog story! BIGGIE, with the typical GSD head tilt, singing the song of his people at full voice and seeing him enjoying so many adventures with his loving dad has my feel-good barometer soaring. Thank you for giving BIGGIE the wonderful life he so richly deserves!

He's a goooooooooood boy!!! I miss my baby boy (Shepherd passed on years ago) our landLORD won't let me have a dog, you are blessed and thank for sharing this heartfelt union you have with him.

What a wonderful story!! Not only did you save him, he saved you!!! BFF!!❤️🐶😘

“If you give your dog the best life, you have the best life”. Brilliant statement and absolutely true!👍🏻

Dogs are sacred. We owe them the best we can find in ourselves. Having a dog and making that commitment helps us become our best selves.

Please keep him safe so he doesn’t end up in the ICU again. God bless you both ❤

"Give your dog the best life, and you in turn live your best life." How incredibly profound. Thank you for sharing.

Cats and dogs have such an ability to completely make life worth living. Wonderful companions and that reason to get up each morning. Love stories like this ❤️

Biggie is your "soul dog"! This pup was born to be yours! Blessings

Made me so happy. And I think he has the clue- not “getting a dog to make me happy “, but “making a dog happy”clears the depression. Making myself happy gives pleasure, but pleasure isn’t joy. It’s a superficial ‘hit’/drug. Joy is a deeper fulfilment. You’re not thinking about yourself. I’m beginning to learn this too. That was a great video.

That howl is everything! Awesome story, you and Biggie are why people should get a dog. You driving by that sign was fate. Something stronger than us had a plan for you two to unite.

You just made my Christmas Day, Biggie is beautiful, I love his ears & the way he howls & the way he looks @ you when you call him a Good Boy, you are giving him a fantastic life, unbelievable for all the activities you 2 do & the places you take him to, he has a better life than me, thank you for all the love you give Biggie. Estelle - Cape Town - South Africa ❤

Great catch runt of the littler and you took him in..I'm proud of ya...and he helps you with your depression too..another bonus...They say petting a dog takes 20 points off your blood pressure...You two just look happy and content..and I'm happy for you both..

I am a current dog owner myself, I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for him. I probably wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for him. Thank you for letting him be a dog and accepting him into your life. It was clearly meant to be.

These two were absolutely meant for each other. The love is pure. The bond is strong. By the way, I loved Biggie's ears. I had a dog once, Dave, with the cutest floppy ears but every time I tried to take his picture, his ears shot straight up. Now that he's gone, I have a collection of photos and in every one his beautiful floppy ears are standing at attention. Dave, I miss you buddy.

“If you give your dog the best life you can, then you in turn will have the best life as well” I 100% agree with this

Such a wonderful story. Thank you for your honesty about depression. Many people will find themselves in your story. Some may decide to get a pup, a dog, a cat - the connection can be like non we've experienced before like you & Biggie have. For some of us, our hearts have been lucky to share life with more than one dog. Best wishes to you & your buddy. May you enjoy more slopes, trails, swim, car rides, howls & visits to Granddad♡

Oh my goodness, how could anybody not want little Biggie with those adorable ears standing straight up! Awe how adorable you have adopted him into your life. Best wishes to Biggie and You! 🐾🐕❤ A bond that never grows old, only stronger! 😊

I suffer from dealing with depression, sometimes severe. Denying it until I am 56 years old, and the medication I now take helps, BUT... 8 months ago I adopted a 3 year old Dachsund from a rescue shelter. Little did I know, it was she who would rescue me! She has definitely become the largest part of my every day life, and the joy and contentment I feel from making her days the happiest days possible in turn makes my days happy. When I want to stay in bed and mope all day, Cannoli ain't having it! She allows me to sleep in until maybe 8 am then she is in my face, "Cmon Pop! Open the damned doors! Let's go outside. Cmon, cmon, cmon" She does her lil goofy happy Snoopy style dance, and I have no choice but start smiling, then laughing, sometimes hysterically. If I am sitting and staring ,listlessly, Cannoli magically senses it, and she will come over and start nudging me and putting her paws on my lap and looking at me with such intense love and concern, as soon as I pet her, her tail wags so viciously her whole butt shakes back and forth. She is not a lap dog, nor much of a cuddlebug, nor a licker, yet she has 10,000 ways to show me her pleasure and how much she loves me. I dunno what her 1st 3 years were like, but I have promised that the rest of her life will be pure joy and happiness. She seems to have promised me the same!

Anyone who's ever had a GSD puppy surely is as charmed as I was to see the segments showing The Ear Saga. I was thinking about these dogs this morning, about no matter how serious their jobs might be--police canine unit, drug sniffing, support animals--they never completely give up the goofy. I had one 60 years ago, and she still resides in my thoughts. They are such unique beings, and such marvelous friends.

Thank you so much for this video. You have made my entire day! There is nothing purer than the love of a dog. They love us unconditionally and make the bad stuff melt away. German Shepherds are wonderful friends. I had one growing up. Her name was Gretel, and she was my best friend. I'm so happy that Biggie is helping you with your depression. You, fellas, are a wonderful pair. You two are fantastic! Thanks for making my day!

I love most animals and even most humans :D But there's something special about German shepherds to me. They are just so real and present, always ready to work or play or just chill with you. Beautiful, smart and loving animal 🥰

I really appreciate a grown man talking about depression and how he copes. ❤

"if you give your dog the best life you can, in turn you have the best life that you can have, as well...." is so true. My most cherished memories are of taking my dogs out to places where they could run, explore, swim. Their happiness filled my heart like nothing else ever has.

This is the best friend ever, guaranteed. Thank you for saving him.

This is absolutely ... well, to say 'heartwarming' would be feeble. I need a fire-extinguisher trained on my heart region! Those smiles, that attitude, just the LOVE. Marvellous. Wishing them many years together.

Animals deserve nothing but happiness and safety. Seeing Biggie so happy almost made me cry.

Over the years I've adopted a number of rescue dogs and I've loved every one of them. Being a dog lover I understand where you're coming from 100%. A lot of people don't understand how our life revolves around our dogs, but people like you and I do. A big thumbs (paws) up for your video!

Animals really do bring so much love and happiness to your life. I think they are the only beings that love unconditionally and forever. I’m so glad you two found each other when it seems as both of you needed someone. Peace, fun, health and blessings to you both.

By exercising Biggie 2 hours a day is probably doing amazing things for your mental health. Exercising that much is so much more fun with a buddy! I found getting a cat that would be considered “special needs” because of her intense fear of people, and crocheting (after stopping for 10 years due to severe arthritis) has done more for my mental health than any prescription could.

I don't think I've ever seen a pair more suited to each other. I'm really happy for OP and his best friend Biggie!

I don't understand how nobody could want him. What a precious boy!!!🥰 Thank you so much for taking him

You’re twins, it was meant to be kismet 🐾 He’s so beautiful. You’re both blessed to have found one another, meant to be together.

Biggie is happiest wherever you are. If you were standing on the sun, he’d want to be beside you. That’s what’s so great about dogs as companions. They don’t have too many opinions, they are easily made happy. You’ll never have a more loyal friend. Congratulations. May you both enjoy a long and happy life together.

Thank you for saving this dog ❤️

I gotta say I felt that intense bond this man has with biggie like no other Geobeats episode. These two are definitely soulmates🐾

These two are obviously meant to be together! I just love this puppy's ears! It's absolutely gorgeous and it makes me happy to think he is going to have the best life possible!

My heart dropped when you said that he was in ICU. You both are blessed.Wishing a long life together.❤.

Dude! My heart is breaking! As a former Ski Patrol dog trainer, a former animal control officer, and an avid dog lover and trainer, …. YOU ROCK! I love who you are, love the love you gave to your dog, and I respect you as a dog lover and a person! More humans should learn from this experience! With all of my experience and knowledge, I respect dogs way more than I respect humans. Just say’n!

To the guy in the video, I'm so happy you found Biggie. I feel bad to hear that you are dealing with depression. I can see how it affects you. I'm happy to hear you are doing better with Biggie in your life. I understand the difficulty of depression. I have a dog, a rabbit, a cat & 3 kittens. My animal babies each saved me as I "rescued" them. They are so amazing! They continue to heal my soul.

He's precious. You have given him a great life. Shepherds are my favorite. Happy he gets to run free. You are a wonderful person. Both of you are lucky

oh my he looks like our boy Pancho, RIP. Lost him last year after 13 of the best years of our lives because we were determined to give him the best life ever. Love yours & Biggie's story - wishing you both your best life!

That dog's living a better life than me! Ha! Good for him

That dog jumping through the snow behind you was heartwarming. Every Dogg deserves to have a owner like this man! What a vibe,... love it!

Your smile is from ear to ear! No depression there! Beautiful story.

It is always amazing to me how important our animal angels are in our lives. Clearly this pup was a gift from Creator specially made for his person.

“Dogs live in the moment, they don’t think about the future, they don’t worry about the past.” 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Some of the best animals I've known were just lovable goofballs. Hopefully, they would describe ME the same way!

I love your story and your wonderful relationship with your sweet boy. I lost my wonderful dog in February to old age and I miss her terribly. Life has not been anywhere near as good without her. I hope you will have many years of joy with your dog!!

I haven’t even seen 1 min in. And who wouldn’t want this adorable woofie! We lost both of ours in the past few months. He’s adorable.

As an owner of a German shepherd as well, I can totally relate. Biggie is a gorgeous boy !!! So glad you decided to stop at that farm to get some puppy love. Animals are wonderful therapy. He looks to be completely at ease and knows he is loved deeply. Glad he is on the mend from his recent hospital stay. Enjoy a long and happy life together, you each deserve the other. He's a beautiful boy 💕🐕

The runts and oddballs are always my favorite. They are very appreciative and loyal! This video brought tears to my eyes seeing how enjoy this dog has. I just pray it will stay safe from avalanches. Thank you for rescuing him and thank you to everyone else who has ever rescued. I rescued several pets as well... But it turns out they rescued me!

I think this was the happiest doggie post I've seen. He is your best friend and you are his. Your bond is incredible. Always remember you're stronger than your depression and Biggie needs you as much as you need him.

What a heartwarming story that was! When you find that one pet in your life that you totally connect with, there’s just nothing better than that. I have that with my little parrot, and we have been together almost 33 years now. She’s a total sweetheart.

What an absolute darling Biggie is! He’s life is so enriched with his dad! More adventures to both of you. 🇦🇺

Oh those ears.....he's a beauty 💙🇬🇧

This made me cry I lost my Shepard and swore I wouldn’t have another because human hearts break. I now rescued 2 doggies that made my heart still grow. Animals are amazing ❤❤❤

You are the sweetest man alive and Biggie is the most beautiful son! Y'all make THE perfect pair and I hope you have many, many, many, happy, and precious years together!🥰💕

He looks so much like my nephew's dog Zeke...he had the floppy ears like Biggie til he grew into them. They are very intelligent. So glad you got him 😊

You two were made for each other. Thanks for sharing this wonderful relationship.

Biggie is a beautiful baby. The two of you belong together. Sweet Biggie.

Awe❤ we lost our 13.5 year old Swiss shepherd Klaus. He went everywhere with us. We were so so so sad for so long. We were going g to wait a year to get another dog but low and behold someone had an accidental litter they weren’t planning on and wha-la we got Carlos. He’s 15 weeks today and I now can’t see our lives without him. Great story! Love to hear these.

Biggie hit the jackpot with such an active owner! He seems like such a sweetheart ……with a LOT of energy.

What a wonderful dog and dad you are. That dog will love you forever ❤️ 💓 💙 💗

He was waiting for you. . .he called to you. So happy for both of you! 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

I’m close like that with my German Shepherd too! Amazing animals- they are❤

He’s beautiful. Get him some snow boots. You’ll be happy you did.

Your story made me cry..this world needs more ppl like you.

I love how amazing you two are together! This was meant to be! Enjoy your life together!!!!

First off , thank you for being the Dad that Biggie needed in his life . I'm a big dog lover and I wouldn't trade my Fur Babies for nothing and nobody . I'm 65 years young and I have two 5 year old Pitbulls and they keep me in good health and most people don't understand the bond that I have with my Fur Babies but I love them both and they both loves me unconditionally 🐾🐶🐾🐕🐾❤👵🏽

63 year old, veteran and consider myself to be hardened to the world. I found a rescue dog and we were together for 14 years. .. She died some months ago. I still cry. She was my heart and soul. I miss her so much.

My sister had a German Shepherd, and she wrote one of her bestsellers, "Quinky, Destiny Dog" and what you wrote about Biggie is so sweet! you might love the Quinky book!!!!!

Tears in the eyes time here! What a great guy he is, and his dog is awesome. How could anyone not fall in love with this gorgeous pooch?

What a gorgeous boy and his Dads a very handsome chap too. I do believe the universe knew you both needed someone special and it came together for you two to meet. I sincerely hope your depression is at bay and I wish you happiness as you and Biggie enjoy more and more adventures. Much love to you both. xxx

Great story! I had all kinds of dogs in the past 30 years and each one of them was special. Alain Delon said: "Dogs are like children who are just allowed to live 10 - 15 years". I think of my children who are not with me anymore and I miss all of them dearly. Love & peace.

He is a handsome, good boy. So are you. You both needed each other.

You have done a great job with your pooch. There is no denying the love you both have for each other. Wonderful video!!

Biggie is so cute! He somehow reminds me of a Husky with his howl, love of snow and activity level. Glad Biggie made it through his hospitalization. Biggie is a very good boy! 🥰❤️🐶❤️

Now there is one happy, handsome, energetic boy who is exactly where he belongs! ❤️

I grew up with Shepards and just lost my last baby a week ago yesterday, this made me so unbelievably sad AND happy at the same time

I’d be lost without my dogs! Bless you for loving him! It’s clear you two were meant for each other! 💜

Thank you, Biggie! And thanks to your Dad! Brought such a big old smile to my face!

I like the idea of using the needs of the dog to help recognize one’s own needs , he won life in that if he can give a dog an amazing life , he will be experience an amazing life right along with his pup

How could anybody not love a sweet dog?? Kids and dogs, gotta love em.

You are definitely the best dog dad ever. How I wish more owners were like you. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to help him find so much of himself. Total respect to you.!

I’m so glad you have Biggie! I have my own Biggie, named Cooper. I saw him at the local shelter after I made a donation. The minute I saw him I knew there was no way I could live without him. It had been nearly 5 years since I lost my Bear Bear and I didn’t think there was anyone who I could love as much. I was wrong. ❤

You are such a good man. Can you even imagine the joy you are giving to another sentient creature? The world would be a better place if it was filled with people like you.

I don't know where I'd be without my rescue Jack Russell Terrier/ Rat Terrier mix! His name is Colt and just hugging him makes me feel better! I suffer from depression as well. There's nothing like a loyal, loving dog. They love us no matter what

Every furry baby lover needs to experience a love and friendship. I had that kind of love with my Scruffy boy I lost him in 2020. ❤❤❤❤💋💋🐶thank you your story touches my heart and gave me memories 🥰

True love . My German shepherd passed away in 2012 but he lives in my heart until my end.i swear. This is the biggest love I knew in my life until now.
