@Courtlyn I still miss my cat. He found me as a tiny kitten with motor oil stainingvhis fur and fleas the size of watermelon seeds crawling on him when I was 19. And he lived to be 18. He was the coolest cat. He could talk. He said "mryeess" and "nnnnoooo" when he either wanted or didnt want something. One time I was at my dads house and I told him "lets go upstairs!" He goes "nnoooo!" and ran and hid under a table. My dad goes "did he just say no?!" I told myself I couldnt get another cat because I missed him so much. So I started fostering pit bulls. I ended up with one of my own, a sweet goofy girl I couldnt let go. Then a skinny feral kitten ended up hiding in my car one day when I had the window cracked while it was parked. And he came home with me too. Now my dog is becoming elderly. Ill miss her forever too someday. But, theres always room for one more love. Not as a replacement for the ones that are gone, but another unconditional friend. When my dog is gone, someday there'll be another goofy lightbulb headed pibble I cant send off to a forever family. Its the way it is. The curse of loving and being loved by beings with lives 10% of ours. Its worth the pain though.
*Lulu..my little #5 mix of fur...my best friend doggie of 20 (Yes 20) years.* *I picture her in Heaven with my Identical Twin Sister Jude..running and* *playing and snuggling again. She is one of the stars in my sky.*
What a great adoption story. I've said this so many times: it's so nice to see when it's obvious how much a pet is loved and cherished. I can tell, these 2 people are over the moon about Rudy. He's adorable, funny and looks like a little love bug.
I pray every day that these beautiful animals get adopted and loved, we always save rescues and we love them dearly, please help if you can, you won’t be sorry
Hank was looking out for his mama when he sent her to find Rudy. It’s helped to keep the memory of Hank alive and allowed her to share her heart with this precious pup. Her love and determination to figure out what Rudy needed to thrive is paying great rewards. Their bond is genuine and I couldn’t be happier for this loving boy and his family.💕🐾🐾
Topcat - what a lovely way to look at it! That Hank sent Rudy to his mom. There are very few things in the world more devastating than losing your beloved dog - isn't it?
My two girls are both turning 12 this year and I can already see them starting to slow down and I'm saddened by the thought of losing them. I'm glad to see that OP found Rudy to help her cope with the loss of her beloved Hank. I just hope when it's time for me to face that hardship that I too can find such a precious doggo as Rudy.
You can never replace the ones that leave us. But the hole in our hearts allow for more love to share and more memories to make and more love to give and receive. Every dog deserves a loving home and every loving home needs a dog.. ADOPT and save a life (might be your own)
Remember to pray for them, and give them good nutrition, vet care and appropriate exercise. You may be surprised and they could live longer than expected. ❤️🙏🏼✝️🐶
This entire vid touched me. The editing and music were perfect. Your voice is almost hypnotic. And Rudy.... and Hank..... You can tell by your story, and the glimpses of both you and your husband, that you are special people. Thank you from the PNW.
I lost my girl a little over a year ago, she'd be turning 12 this fall. She was 1000% my child and personal shadow. I miss her every day, but I'm visiting with the foster parents of a rescued 2 year old soot sprite of a dog this weekend. It'll definitely be bittersweet if this one comes home with me, but seeing this video has me feeling much more ready for a new best friend. 🙏💚
So sorry to hear about Hank he looked beautiful ❤️ but your new little guy is precious too, not only are you two helping him but I'm sure he's helping you both to deal with the sad loss of Hank.❤ Beautiful pictures and story thank you.😊
This is such a beautiful story though I am so sorry to hear of Hanks passing but I'm sure he knew Rudy was his wonderful replacement. And I am so glad mom did everything she could to bring Rudy back to being healthy again with help from dad. Rudy is so adorable and it really touched me when Rudy thought he did something wrong that he needed mom to hold his paw to reassure him that she loves him.
The space inside our hearts is limitless. Getting a new pet in no way takes the place of former ones; each new animal’s carves out its own niche. Personally I believe they are angels and on the day it’s my time to go, I will be suddenly surrounded with all my babies who will guide me on.
“You don’t have to fill those shoes. You have your own.” Brilliant! We have infinite room in our hearts for love! When you are ready and even when you don’t think you are! Well done! 💗💗💗
You have done the most amazing job with him! I can see his fur growing back in his face. Such a heartwarming story. Makes my heart melt. I wish you all the best!
Thank you for saving this beautiful innocent baby boy and for showing him what it is like to be loved and to have his very own forever home and family!!!!
When I first saw my foster to adopt I thought what am I getting into, but she put her head in my hand on the ride home and that was it!! Best thing I ever did!!
How cannot love Rudy, his personality, that 🥰 face..., Hank sent him to you because he don't wanted your sorrow, he wanted you and your husband smiling and laughing with a doggie who was needing love, a home. So sweet ❤
Been there, I lost one of my wonderful furry babies in 2019 and I'm still grieving. She was the sweetest, smartest dog I ever had. She was everything to me. Rudy came along at the right time, Hank sent him to you cos he wants you to love again and be happy ❤❤
Those people who abandoned this beautiful boy deserve terrible things in their lives. Abandoning this poor little guy. God bless this girl for saving him! You're doing a great thing for him and I wish u all the best with your new baby!
Awwww. I got Bella before I lost my Darcy. I knew what was coming and I needed a dog. I don’t know if I could without doing it that way. I always have a dog. Always. Both of them chose me. I loved Darcy with my whole heart, but I know myself too. So, now I have Bella and an 8 month old kitten named Scout. I got her for Bella. She’s a doll. Thank you for saving him. It looks like he saved you too!!
Hank is one lucky dog! Thank you for not only adopting him but making sure he's comfortable. So many animal owners don't seem to notice or care when their animal is relentlessly chewing on their paws or when they're clearly uncomfortable. The world needs more humans like you!
Rudy had me crying, such a delightful boy to add to your home. My rescue, mutt w/o a known breed is mow 4 yrs with us and his favorite place to be is in my lap which I am ok with. Shelter dogs savor the small gestures offered to them. Happy hugs for Rudy and you and your husband.....yeah, 3 months before we adopted , moose...I named him, i had lost my dog of 14 yrs and 10 months.....quite hard.
Rudy is such a sweetheart and so are his mom and dad. They didn't fold when the health problems presented. His mom did what she had to do to take care of him. And he rewarded her with love.
I love this so much. Thank you for giving him a chance and falling in love with him. He’s a special one just like Hank was but in their own way. May you have many great years together
STOP WORRYING. You and your partner are wonderful people who have put an animals needs before your own. And you are rewarded in such good ways. As is he. He is so cute and loving. Well done you for loving him so well.
Great job! My cane corso was the same, chewing his feet and his weight went up and down a lot, from 115 to 135, and back down. So I put him on an all raw meat diet; beef, chicken, lamb, turkey, and venison (thanks to hunters in the family), and he was completely cured. Now he's able tolerate a small amount of vegetables and fruits, he loves blueberries and raw green beans, and I give him additive-free homemade jerky as his treats. I weighed him this week and he's a ripped 157lbs of muscle, happy as can be, and loves to play and exercise.
That’s awesome!!!! Sounds like you give him lots of love, thanks for that. There are too many dogs abused and neglected, especially this breed. God bless
Maybe you want to check on the raw beans, as far as I know, raw beans contain a certain kind of poison which can be neutralized by cooking (boiling water, at least 10-15 minutes)
They are pure joy, pure love, pure life. Will love bullies forever. Every video I see instant love to every bully. God sent creatures. Love em endlessly.
When I watch these vids I'm usually just focused on the animal but I have to say that pup momma seems like a really sweet lady. They're both the stars of this happy ever after story. God bless you all. ❤
It is beautiful to see the bond that has formed between them despite the challenges they faced along the way. Rudy's resilience and Stephanie's dedication to his well-being are truly inspiring. Their story is a reminder of the transformative power of love and the joy that can come from giving a shelter pet a second chance at a happy life.
Pitties are an extraordinarily beautiful breed, as you and I clearly know. You are extraordinary human beings for loving your babies to the depths you do. Additionally, you rescued and adopted your babies, which speaks volumes about your character overall. Hank sent you to find Mr. Pepperoni. He wanted you to continue to keep your loving, beautiful heart open, to give another animal the awesome life you gave him, and to give you a buddy to be there for you in return. He knows he cannot be replaced, and that is not what anyone is doing when they open their heart to another animal after a precious piece of their heart leaves them for now. Your amazing baby would not want you to close off your loving heart to another baby who could be saved, loved, and given a wonderful life! Dogs and animals are perfect, which is why they are not able to stay as long as humans. We are supposed to learn how to be good, loving, and kind in our lives, but we are flawed and not as intelligent as we believe ourselves to be. This is not the case with dogs and other animals. Thus, they try to teach us everything they know, including the above-mentioned. But they have more important things to do and see, and so they must move on. Until one day we get to a place where we meet up again, only this time we get to stay with each other infinitely. Keep your hearts open, people. Go save a life; they will actually end up saving yours as a way of saying thank you. Thank you for being good human beings who love animals. May you all live an awesome life together with many blessings, much love, and laughter! 😁🤙🏽❤
❤❤❤❤❤ beautifully said. I miss my first girl so much. When I would put her to bed every night I would sing a lullaby to her. Since she passed not a night has gone by that I haven't sung the lullaby to her photo. I talk to her all the time, especially when I am out on hikes with my dog that came after her because they are the same places I went with her. And so I will talk to her and ask her if she remembers the day we saw this animal in that spot. Or if my dog is doing something hes not supposed to be doing I tell her to teach him to be a good boy (she ALWAYS listened). I know she is being cared for by my great grandpa, who was an animal whisperer until it is my time. ❤
@NightReporter You are a lovely human being. ❤❤❤❤ I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. But your sweet Angel sent you a buddy to be there for you in this realm, and you will definitely all be together again. Your precious baby created a guardian to help your heart, mind, and soul. Thank you for going out and finding the one your precious Angel sent. He worked very hard to make your guide and buddy specifically for you. Our babies love us as much as we do them, and we give each other so much love and happiness, whilst we are together here. We give one another a beautiful life together. They would never want us to close our hearts. Our hearts need to be more like their perfect hearts, open to giving, sharing, and receiving all love! You've found the guide your baby created for you; you're going to love them deeply with all of your heart and give them the best possible life! See, your baby taught you the most valuable of lessons. Animals are perfect like that. They don't need or want us to be perfect; they just want us to love as much as possible and to be good humans. We make things complicated; dogs and animals have their shit together. 😀 It's us humans who do not. There are some of us like yourself who are good humans; we try to do our best. Dogs and animals don't care about perfection. Only they can be perfect. But as long as we are always learning and genuinely loving other lives with an open heart, we are doing pretty well. They want us to love the ones they send us and give another baby a loving, happy life. They know we could never replace them, and that is not what we are trying to do. Dogs and animals are perfect. They know how to live a good life, to be good, and to love everything. That's why they don't have to live as long as we do. They are here to teach us how to love and be good; however, humans are not that bright. They teach us as much as they can in this realm, and then they must go on to bigger things for awhile, but they love us so much and they know we desperately want to be like them some day, so they keep creating and sending us teaching guides. It's a lot of hard work, yet they do it over and over again, so we have their guides to take us through this place until we all see each other again. They are all around us at all times. Every life that moves on remains around us. Lives are energy, and energy never dissipates. Never disappears. It only changes into different forms. Keep talking to your baby; they hear us just fine, they still love us, and they are still right beside you. That never changes. It will be this way until we are all together again. Be kind, continue with an open, loving heart, and be gentle with yourself, woman. Everything will be okay, just keep breathing. 🥰 You have love all around you! ❤❤❤
"Pitties" are filthy beasts that kill more people every year than all "real" dog breeds combined. The world would be a better place -- with more living and unmaimed kids -- if they were all exterminated.
Thank you for saving Rudy for the rest of his life and giving him a second chance of life now and a forever home now 💖💖💖💖 💖💖 sent from here to there now
Now that I've dried my eyes, this is one of another beautiful videos I've seen from geobeats! This woman and such a tender loving heart and expresses her feeling very well! I love how she loves him! He looks like an amazing guy and I love everything he does... he is absolutely adorable!
Rudy your Absolutely Beautiful ❤️. Thank you for loving him and giving him a second chance at a beautiful life with a loving family. May God bless you all.
This is a wonderful story; one of a grieving mom & dad who’d lost their beautiful Hank & then found this gorgeous, little soul, Rudy. You’ve both helped each other heal. Hank will always hold a special place in your heart & Rudy has brought his own unique joy. This breed of dog is woefully misunderstood. With the right care, consistency & training, I believe they’re some of the best companions on Earth. Much love to you both & Rudy. You’ve all got a very special relationship & Rudy is just blossoming under your wonderful care. Hugs & love to you all! 💕
I lost by dog February 9, 2023. She lived for 20 years and 9 days. I struggle everyday. I have a cat but he has never lived a day in his without our dog. She came from the streets became my service dog. She detected my seizures. Never growled at the kids...I want another. But I want to rescue. Thank you for taking this adorible pup in!❤
