The Surprising Reason his lil Face is Swollen 🥹 

Wow! Thank you to your friend for sending this to you and most of all thanks for helping little Wilber 🙏❤️

Thank you so much for helping this beautiful little guy. I'd have adopted him, but I'm in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Bless you for following up on him. You're very kind ♥️

@@rockykanaka I love what you do and have such respect and admiration for good shelters who save these beautiful animals. God Bless you and your team and all you do, so thankful wilbur was adopted! Keep up with the pupdates. We live in an area with a huge outbreak of stray and abandoned cats and no real help from the county due to lack of funds and rescues and volunteers. I pray this changes soon

God bless you earth angel ❤️💚💛 you saved that dog life🎉🎉🎉🎉

Blessings to you for starting the process of saving him ❤.

❤️❤️

Hip hip hooraaaaay!!🥳🎆🎉

YAY! thanks so much for posting this update ❤

Thank you Priscilla!!!

That is fabulous!

First, and yes

I can't believe I commented that fast. Is that even a real word oh well.

My heart melted 😢❤ I just want to snuggle him and never let go

Beyond adorable...

He's very cute. Poor boy. 😢💔 Is that a tumor? 😢💔 I'm so glad it's not a tumor but so sad to hear what it actually is. So upsetting that there are evil people out there who treat animals so cruelly.

Sick and mentally disturbed people are abusers

You are so right. No shortage of cowardly abusers in this world. But thank God for the people take these voiceless abused and give them the love they deserve

I totally agree,so sad.

Happy tails, Wilbur!"

Papillon was my guess too.

I thought the same thing, guys! ❤️

Exactly what I guess ❤

Springer Spaniel, Jack Russell would be my guess 😊

And everyone should have a Papillon. Mine doesn't bark when she gets excited- she sings.

I dont want his name to b Wilbur. Hes a pappillon , needs a French name: Pierre, Louis, Gaston, Ettienne, Jean paul

Be blest, Rocky☦️👩🏻‍🦳🐾🥰. Wilbur is a gem. Love him.

Yay he has been adopted! And his name is Wilbur - what an adorable loverboy!

💯 ♥🐾🐾♥

He is a precious puppy dog! He has a beautiful face and coat! I would love to be able to hold him and cuddle him and talk to him!

Oh absolutely I mean I’ve seen a video where a woman was petting this dog that was screaming bloody murder because it had been abused to the point where any slight touch would make it scream and after a while this dog was calmly laying in this woman’s arms and even talking about that video makes me sad and unbelievably angry

I literally just read a comment updating that he's been adopted! 🥰 Merry Christmas Wilbur!

He does look very spaniel-like and if he is that might go some way to explain it. Especially the smaller ones are often really lovely dogs who just thrive on affection. The main exception is cocker spaniels, which are *mostly* like that, but some have an extremely aggressive streak, I'm assuming from poor breeding for appearance rather than temperament. There's a reason toy spaniels are popular lap dogs!

@@littlebear274 He's got such spaniel features, but then those cute little Papillion ears so I don't know what he is, apart from adorable!

What is wrong that his face is swollen? Poor baby and he seems like such a happy boy

Rocky you are a treasure with a tender heart...so glad you have sweet Kelly to share your mission ❤ + ❤

Yes! I do not watch those kinds of videos. They leave me feeling awful about humanity.

So TRUE!!!!

I guess I can't help it, but when I watch these videos, the first thing I think of is how dysfunctional that family is and wonder whether it's the adults or children who are the abusers.

I watch ,because there is always a happy ending, when they show how healthy and loved they become..it’s the story how they found them and how they become healthy again. BUT I believe there are some stories that are NOT real. Like some Chanel’s finds this beautiful small little dog in a box, and they take it to the vet, and so on.. when I see videos like that, I don’t watch them, because I’m pretty sure people make the little dogs all dirty, take them home and bathe them…etc I don’t believe them, AND they always ask for money. The internet are full of not really good people, and they do anything to make money..I only donate if it’s a real thing, like this one here, hope for paw and another few ones that I watch 🐶🤎🦴🌹

Some of those animal abuse videos are by the people abusing the animals setting up the animal for youtube views so beware

Yes, I was struck by the fact that tail was wagging big time, even w/his situation & seemed so trusting?!

Papillons ears don’t look anything like that.

I'd love this dog, but am on the East Coast. He is one precious little guy! Perfect size, such pretty coloring and those eyes and EARS, so expressive.

He looks like a Papillon king Charles mix...so handsome.

@@CarolanneTitmus-Greeneyou’re right! I didn’t even think of King Charles or Cocker Spaniel.

Don’t let them have him back

I'm sure that was decided since hes been adopted in the 10 day hold. I'll bet its the animal control officer who saved him

My thoughts as well

Mine, too 100% What an adorable, sweet dog 💕

I was thinking papillon mix, too

Agree. How can anyone that’s around dogs like she is, just pop out with, ‘a shepherd mix???? Except he’s smaller.’ Hello? Head shaking how many dogs in shelters are so mis-marked for what they actually are. Giving ppl the wrong impressions & may be costing them a shot, b/c of them not wanting a ‘sheph Mix, or PB mix, or any bully mix for a dog. So many mis categorized. SMH I’m glad it was decided he was probably a spaniel mix, b/c that’s certainly what he is. I immediately thought King Cavalier mix. With a Papillon, is a good guess as to his mix. If he goes back to those abusers, that will be another crime against that poor, gentle & loving boy. How could that even be considered???🤮 I pray his problems are all treatable & he finds his safe, loving, forever family, soon. ♥

King Charles Spaniel

That could be right

Possibly a little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as well.

I have a papillon chihuahua mix and he looks just like him except the colors

@rockykanaka looks like a long-haired chihuahua.

@@theresamnsota3925 That’s what I said. KC & Papi mix!👍 Not even close to a shepherd mix that gal first blurted out.🙄

😢😢😢😢😢

We have a Wilbur in our family too. But we would never use zip ties on him. This little papillon mix deserves a wonderful new family.

I don’t understand how anyone can treat another living being line that. 😭 Why get a dog in the first place? Hope those people don’t have any other animals. 😨

I'm still in tears for this poor little boy. I'm so glad you updated the story and he was adopted. He deserves a good loving ❤️ home.

@@debbiekerr3989 Yes absolutely ❤️

I am so relieved to hear Wilbur has been rescued and adopted into a loving home. He is clearly such a wonderful little furbaby and I would adopt him in a heartbeat if I lived nearby.

I think it is very unfair of you to call those abusers "animals", much too kind.

Same 😢

I agree, why anger and not sorrow?

Crying. Know he is safe now.

No dog could be bad. They just want love

I’m so glad to know Wilbur has found a forever loving home. . He’s just a beautiful boy and he deserves a wonderful life.

​@@wholeshebang1 these are awesome news! A real life christmas story 🎉

My first kitty was abused. When love finally broke through the fear she was the most tolerant, polite baby I've ever met. (She hid during the daytime for the first month.) And dogs are faster to forgive than cats, imo!

@@wholeshebang1k

Do not the name Wilbur. I think an Irish or Scottish name such a Aidan, Connor, Colin, Tristan, Liam. All beautiful!

He is do cute im sitting here crying.

“Wilbur”-reminds of the tv show from my youth “Mr. Ed” the talking horse whose owner was Wilbur….🤷🏻‍♀️ Showing my age.

😂

2:49 2:51 hahahaha 🇦🇺

I was going to guess a collar was left on as he grew. This happens way too often and I just can’t understand how it can go unnoticed by owners! He is so adorable and deserves more attentive owners

@@Twitterpatedacre A zip tie is NEVER a good collar for a pup, no matter the age!

And I agree… a zip tie is never ever a good idea as a collar for ANY animal!

With that swelling, I immediately thought something extremely tight around his neck! A monsterous act!!!😢😢😢😢

This Christmas Wilbur gets the chance he deserves to be loved. That’s Christmas alright ❤

Me too, but let’s not forget the cats and kittens who have also been abused and tormented. They deserve hugs and love and feel safe. Abusers of all kinds make me sick.

Wilbur it’s a whole new journey buddy. Your loving home is waiting for you. ❤

Like *Asher House* in Oregon. Lee rescues and adopts dogs, cats, *llamas,* horses, pigs, and even a parrot (temporarily)! He has a massive, fenced-in property with fields and a river, where he takes the 90 or so dogs, of all abilities, for daily walks and a swim. His animals are so happy!

⁠@@wholeshebang1… I watch Lee’s videos, too. ☺️ He and Rocky are so uplifting after the nonsense on the “People channels” the last few days. I hope Wilbur gets medical help soon,so that he can find a new home full of love. ❤️🦴🐾🐾🥰

I agree, some people just don't deserve these beautiful animals. How could anyone not know better ?

How wonderful.

DFTBA, you sure didn't!

Wow! That's generous. It's nice you can afford to donate so much. On behalf of the little Wilburs out there, thank - you so much! :)

Yes thank you for helping him. May God bless you for your help.

Ditto!!

🙏🥰🙏

Oh no 😬 glad your pup recovered!

He looks like he has some Papillon in him, such a cutie.

Thank God your baby is well. Again ❤❤❤❤

Evidently you didn't watch the whole thing. People did this to her. She had a zip tie around her neck.

OP is talking about their dog, not Wilbur.
