Update: Lemon was adopted by a very loving family. See her appearance on eightWest here: woodtv.com/2016/03/29/meet-lem... Email any inquiries to: jennifer.collier@kentcountymi.gov Music written and performed by Jennifer Collier.
I will never understand how these abused and neglected dogs still have so much love and faith in people after all they've endured. How can you not respect these animals? We could learn something about forgiveness from them....
I am happy for Lemon fighting to live. Inspite of the challenges, Lemon fights because he or she knows that if they give up, they will miss out on life. Many people would put animals down in conditions such as these and worse conditions. Josie
True story my dog Xylah taught me how to not hold grudges. I'll scold her and she would come a kiss me after. She taught me that!!!!! Xylah. Will wait for me at the rainbow!!!!
I sure hope she got a great gnome! I’d take her in a heart beat. I love chihuahuas I have 4. I am stay at home 54 years old and if she still needs a home I’m it out daughter is a veterinarian here in our city she would have the best of the best!! Her spirit is alive!! I Love that!!
What a Fantastic home you would've been fur Lemon. I believe she found a home, not sure how shes living or what happen after? But, Your home would've been Perfect . yet there are millions who still Need homes. 💞
I no what you mean but her fighting spirit touched peoples hearts that way you and everybody else has fallen in love with her beautiful baby god bless her🙏🙏😇😇💙💞💕🌹💚
Did y'all know I was really crying but I pray because these people 🙏💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 these days don't work 😡😭😭 😭 and take care if it was mind I'll will tool good care of it I pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I cried like a little baby, it always amazes me how unconditional love animals have for others even though they've lived they're lives in agony. Anyone who hurts any living thing should be rot in hell! Thank you for sharing. I love you lemon!
Nancy Clinton. I just read your post and I am the one now who's crying like a baby, this is so sad and heartwarming at the same time, when you see her trying over and over to get on her legs while being emaciated is so touching. So happy to see her progress 😍
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 I had the opportunity to rescue two dogs that were left alone in a house for over 4 days and let me tell you this wasn't a celebration at all! So this is how it went down... I live 5 houses down from these poor dogs. One is a Chihuahua and the other is a golden Cocker spaniel! I walk my dogs everyday past this house and the dogs were 24/7 barking and I noticed that the owner still hadn't come home! So by day 3 I called the police, and trying to get them to remove the dogs was a fucking nightmare on it own! So day 4 early morning I'm on the phone telling them nobody has returned home and that the condition of the dogs wasn't so good! They were very sad and hungry and lonely too. My broken , BUT no later then 1 hour after getting off the phone with the police , they finally showed up and broke into the house and grabbed the dogs! OMFG .... the dogs were so weak they couldn't walk, they were both whimpering , but they're tails were wagging when they saw me,! Two cops carried them into they're cars and took them to the SPCA! Once they left with the dogs one of the other cops came and told me that I was a angel for not giving up on getting those dogs out of the house, because he said there wasn't any signs of food or water for them and even the bathroom door was locked and so was the pantry where the dogs food was kept! The dogs had tried to break that pantry door down to get to there food but they are were to weak ! I couldn't believe what I was hearing I cried like a little girl. Turns out that the owner was fined and banned from ever owning a another dog or any kind of house pet! She's fucking lucky I didn't give her a taste of what she had done to her dogs!
@@nancyclinton499 I am still baffled by human cruelty but I also thank God for people like you who have a heart of gold. I am so glad you didn't give up on those babies and they were rescued before it was too late. Do you know how they are doing now?
That little tail never stopped wagging, what an amazing little dog. Thanks too to the all the people who helped her, wonderful caring humans. I hope she is now in a forever home and doing great
I'm giving my dogs extra hugs and kisses all fur babies deserve love even guniea pigs I have one of those too he was on Craigslist bought for a child who quickly list interest and used to flick his nose I named him razzle after the drummer from Hanoi Rocks
A neighbor, a family member anyone just feed her, she really couldn't have eaten much. Give her water. Do something. Call someone. Ppl need to get involved and ppl need to be prosecuted for this and other abuses. GET INVOLVED. Write ur congress. We need to change animal abuse to a felony in all states. God bless and in God we trust. Love you Lemon. Lol what a name.
I think, they are the only breed of dog that truly show emotion with tears, they really "cry" - I babysat my sister's Chihuahua when he was perhaps 4 mo. old, and he cried for her almost the entire extended weekend, it was pathetic, it was so pathetic, i couldn't even be upset when he'd just poop right in the middle of the room, then - pee on my kids' toy box. lol (Of course I'd been told he was fully trained, when she returned she said "Oh I meant trained to go on pads behind the sofa"... thanks, I gladly would have bought pads! My dog, kept looking at the pooper like "what - are you doing"!!! I held the little dog almost the whole time he was with me because he just seems so lost (well, he WAS, he didn't know me at all before she dropped him off) :( poor pup!
I will always cherish this breed of dog. Hopefully when I get to that age. . I will be able to have my pet chihuahua in an old folks home. I will keep this family of male chi's breeding so I have the legacy of my Frisco dog with me.
Our small dog got ran over and our Pit saw my husband bury him. Poor Hailey Rose, still won't have too much to do with my husband. All living animals have the same needs and wants that we have, I do believe this.
I remember when I heard about this! The lady who rescued her also made this song, & was on a talk show! So she named her LEMON 🍋 I cried so hard then, & I cried even harder now! God bless u for being her 👼 angel
Mark Godfrey... I’m not sure what the name of that song is, but they also have a news clip about this. Just type in search bar: Meet Lemon, the luckiest dog in Michigan. This song touched me so much, bc my dog kinda looks like 🍋 sweet lil Lemon! so 😔 sad shes already passed. R.I.P. lil Lemon 🐾💕
This was heart wrenching to watch! Just kills me that humans can allow this to happen. What an amazing will to live and that tail going non stop! She is a blessing and thank God for the people who spent time helping her versus just deciding to put her to sleep. They are worth our time! ❤️
". What an amazing will to live and that tail going non stop! " Yes. I've been watching this all along. She is a wonderful angel. She has more souls than people.
Thank God to the people that helped her and other animals. Mahatma Gandhi said the moral progress of a Nation can be judged by how citizens treat animals. I'm judging by the news and say our country has a lot to learn
This video had me balling like a baby, I have two rescued chihuahuas and they were no where near in this terrible of shape. I love all dogs but Chi's have a special place in my heart reserved for their breed. God bless the rescuers of all furbabies. Cats dogs domestic or feral. They all need and deserve our love.
@@alisonlouise6406 I had 3 all at once , they were beautiful little babe's , no trouble , just the sweetest little things . My family all loved thm very much . It was so heart breaking when the died , like the end of the world . Moved on to Maltese terriers , loved them , love all dogs , would have many many dogs if I could . Xxxx
Omg I miss my munchkin sooo much! It's been two years and I still find my self on Chihuahua videos. Just to cry I think.... Miss you Jake. You gave me 15 wonderful years!
No matter what happens in a dog's life. They still love if they survive. People that do this to their pets, should never ever own another one and spend a long time behind bars.
@@alexiswaller3065 And sadly, tragically, some wouldn't, I hate to say! It gives me hope though that there are many people that do have a heart for other people and for animals for both are worthy of great love.
@@elizabethgunning6745 people can be so creul that's for sure my comment was meant to point out that animal abuse should be on the same crimnal level with harsh punishment
I read other comments and saw that she was adopted. I'm so happy for her! She seems like a wonderful little dog. I have six dogs, five of which I rescued in the last four years. I have a cat too :) I LOVE animals! And I love people who help animals.
OMG that little sweetie! I just can’t believe how bad this honey was! I pray for a full recovery! Thank you for all that you have done for this little angel 👼! I pray he finds the perfect forever home where they will treat him good.
(y do people abuese animals such as cats, dogs,cows...ect) well I've got the answer....God let Satan bring opposition to the world so that way there's good and EIVEL if God didn't let sasan bring opposition to the world well..........THERE WOULDN'T BE PEOPLE
+Stella Gillenwater I'm sorry Stella, but if there was a real God, like in the bible, he would be the most childish, petulant, vengeful, mean-minded sadistic being in all of existence. He has no need to "test" good or evil in humans, or angels or anyone. By the Bible's own definition, he is omniscient. He literally knows how everything turns out before he brings it into existence. Therefore, the ONLY REASON he could possibly bring all of the pain and suffering about, is so that he can watch like some sick fucking voyuer! He's a SADIST, he's a tight ass, HE's an ABSENTEE LANDLORD! If he did exist, I would do EVERYTHING IN MY POWER to knock him off his fucking ivory tower. I'd have a hell created for him that would IN ONE SECOUND, overshadow the agony of his he'll. I'd make it my BUSINESS to see to it that he was paid back a million fold for the suffering that he brought to creation!
Poor little darling I’m so glad there is still some people with a heart and that care they are so tiny and defenceless. I have taken in dogs before. It’s so good that the dog is getting love and attention God Bless her and the sweet people who cared for her.
As far as I know the only thing "Eye for an eye" means is to do unto someone the same as they did to something else. Is that not what it means? If so, that's a pretty HATEFUL way to life one's life, always perpetrating the same violence and hate upon other living things as was done to them. Sorry but people who think that way have the same mental illness as those who hurt animals.
I watch this so many times, first time had me teary eyes, bless her heart, I really pray someone as her and b very good to her, this shit makes me mad, got 2 little girls at home, love them to death, this world is so ugly sometimes, 2019
Jennifer, thank you for helping Lemon. she is a fighter, you can see it in her eyes. i hope she can find a loving forever home. may God's peace and love surround you.
Nope. you ain't alone in that. the tail wagging broke my heart... I two cats and three dogs have a good home, I spend time with them and I treasure them. I hope Lemon is doing okay, this dog deserves so much.
I am Thai and love dogs very much and Thailand has many problems with stray dogs and dogs that have been abused by all the news that I have found and found. I will feel depressed and depressed. I have been in love with the dog for a long time. Whenever I see a dog, I will look in my eyes and understand my feelings. Sometimes I see stray dogs. What I can do or have the opportunity to help is when there is food, then will be shared to the stray dogs. There are many survival in Thailand.❤️❤️🐶🐶
That's heartbreaking. My sincere thanks to everyone who worked to get this sweet dog better. I pray that a new wonderful, loving adoptive family will love away all the emotional scars. So this beautiful dog will have the life they deserve. God bless this sweet dog. ♥️♥️♥️
Sadly, we had a similar little furry. My daughter walked to school every day. And even at the start of the school year, it's extremely hot here in TX. She noticed a little dog just like this one hiding under a car. Trying to keep out of the direct heat. After coming by several days and the dog was still there, she coaxed it out. It had tar & oil all over it and was very emaciated. She brought the little dog home. She laid on the tile floor in the kitchen for a good long while. We hand fed her and gave her water. Being careful not to overfeed or allow her to drink too much. We then bathed her to get rid of the tar and oil. After the bath, she was exhausted and laid in my daughter's lap for a long time. We set her up in the kitchen so that she couldn't roam the house and was safe. We had a dog and several cats that we had already rescued. But they didn't have an issue with this scrawny little dog. My daughter spent a couple of weeks putting up signs in the neighborhood looking to see this little one had a home. No one called to claim her. So naturally, we took her in. She was a great companion for my mother who was sick and never really got over the death of my father. We named her Fey. And she lived with us for several years before succumbing to a heart condition on mother's day several years back. Seldom a day goes by that I don't remember that little face that met me at the back door after work. Or pestered to get onto my lap when I was trying to watch TV. She was a constant companion for mom until she passed away early 2000. It maddens me that someone had abused this little thing. Whenever we would get out a broom to sweep the kitchen, she would cower in a corner as if someone had beat her. It sickens me that folks don't want to take care of the creatures that the Good Lord gave us. They're like little furry angels. And they surely get into our hearts and we sorely feel the loss when they cross over the rainbow bridge. Her collar and tags are kept in a special place so as to not forget her.
I would of adopted her and given her a life fit for a Queen that she is!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking care of her!!! I will never forget her!!!!!
Where on earth was she that she ended up in such a mess. Intrigued to know how she was found. She has a beautiful spirit I hope she gets a loving home.
She was brought in as a stray. I live in this area so I'd read the story as it was happening. It was said that it was the owner who brought her in but didn't want to admit he was so he lied and claimed he 'found' her. I believe there was an investigation but this actually happened over two years ago. Lemon was adopted by a beautiful, loving family and knows nothing but love and being spoiled. 💗💗
@@sandimccarthy2067 It actually happened 4 years ago. A GoFundMe campaign was started in 2016 because her neurological problems got a lot worse and they needed money for her care. After that, there is nothing on her. I actually just sent a message to the shelter she was at (Kent County Animal Shelter) and to Jennifer Collier (who put this video on line). Hopefully, I'll get an answer about her wherabouts! :-)
I have a chihuahua named Tommy. It was difficult to watch this sweet little dog struggle to gain weight and strength to sit or stand. Glad she was found and received help to make her well enough to be fostered and finally adopted. Chihuahua's are extremely lovable little dogs. Unless you have owned one, you have no idea what you are missing. Hope Lemon has a great life in her new forever home.
Absolute precious baby! I am bawling profusely. I dunno how anyone can hurt an animal....Thanks for taking in this sweet precious angel! She deserves the best life ever!
You are so so right...people can be so heartless. Animals do not deserve this treatment. Thank goodness for those that see the sweetness and love that these beautiful and precious animals possess. Thanks to all that choose to protect and nurture our best friends. Lemon, I am so sorry that you had to go through this.... You are loved by many.
Omg what a beautiful lemon i ever had. Wagging tail all the time her body giving up life but the tail raise her up. Really im crying omg life is so beautiful and never hive up ...maybe that 525 dislike happy accident
❤️ poor little Lemon such a beautiful baby my boy fought the same way i fed him with a syringe people are aholes to hurt such defenseless little babies
Thank you so much for saving this precious dog and bringing him back from the brink of death. It is truly incredible how badly people can hurt an animal both emotional and physical . This little guy is so cute with that tail wiggling constantly.
If only I lived in a house, I'd pick you up, take you home & give you all the love & happiness in the world. Such a precious little soul. I hope God sends you to the perfect home where you will be happy & loved forever. ♥♥♥
Señores ustedes se merecen todo lo mejor del mundo por todo lo que hacen por estos animalitos. Dios los bendiga para que reciban mucha ayuda económica . Los quiero mucho 🙏😘❤️👏
Her heart is right in those big soft brown sweet eyes isn't it? I cannot picture the kind of person/damaged/monster that can hurt/neglect something so sweet this badly. She is wonderful, as are her rescuers and new family. I'd have taken her in a heartbeat! ALSO, the SONG is AMAZING!
Such a brave lil sweetheart... Omg I am still crying... I have no words.. Lemon.. U r a miracle, a true blessing... So glad that u r happy and healthy now. All I can say is I love u so so much .. I feel so blessed to know you..
Absolutely agree. I have been searching for it all over the internet . It took me a while to realise I stood a chance looking here. Thank God I did. A beautiful song. A beautiful voice.
Omg yay!!!! She’s walking!!! How can a little dog like this be a stray? She’s so little & helpless! Thank you so much for rescuing her just in time. You’ve given her so much love & dedication- you’re all her angels for helping her to have a life filled w/ happiness & love ♥️💯🐾🐾♥️‼️
Dear God, I pray I would have had half the emotional strength of this precious dog, if I were in a life or death situation. I’ve learned more life lessons from animals than I ever have from human beings.
