I picked this video because I love dogs and love seeing people help stray dogs!! You can write about your thoughts on the video, your own pets, or anything else related to it.

Aw that little puppy reminds me of my dog Luna. It's so amazing how animals can be so resilient. You can tell a huge difference from the dog at the beginning and the dog at the end. He went from being scared and shy to being happy and playful. Thanks Lauren!

This video was very cute!!! I love watching videos like this. It is so important that we do everything we can to help all stray animals. While I do not have any dogs, I love other dogs!!!! Both of my sisters have dogs and I always get more excited to see their dogs than I do them when they come visit.

This was so touching! These types of videos always make me happy. I personally do not have a dog, but I have always wanted one. I feel like dogs are some of the most loyal creatures, and I am always surprised by how smart they are. Thanks for sharing!

The dog in this video was really cute. I love videos of people helping dogs- I like to see the dogs' transformations into happy and healthy. These videos are both happy and sad, they are heartwarming. I like watching these and the military homecoming videos where soldiers surprise their family members :')

I have never had a dog, so I really don't know what that experience would be like. However, I think it would be fun to experience at some point in the future. It is great that people go out of their way to protect and provide animals with the necessities to live and with better living environments.

AWWW!!!! I love dogs so much. I have a 6 year old yellow lab named Boston and he is the cutest thing in the world. Dogs are the sweetest pets to have, all they want is love!! I feel as though dogs are the best pet because they will always be there for you no matter what situation. I would do anything for my dog, thank you for sharing this Lauren!!! <3

That's such a good video. I am glad that people actually came forward to rescue the dog. I thought it was interesting that the dog was friends with the cat. Usually dogs and cats hate each other.

Great choice, Lauren! We love happy endings!! I love seeing stray dogs being given new lives and how happier they become. I love seeing people run shelters that have happy, excited animals. Throughout the video I was thinking about my own dog, who my family adopted from a shelter in Mechanicsburg. We were as lucky to find him as he was to find us. Love you, Kato.

What a great video to share. I have always had dogs (or/and other pets) throughout my life and love the companionship they offer. Our current dog, Meadow, a yellow lab, is so friendly and happy that every time we see her, she shakes her entire body with joy. Pets are amazing because of their unconditional love. I am so glad that some helped out this homeless dog and offered him a home.

Aww I'm so glad this dog found a home and was not left on the streets. This was great to see people helping out where they can. I think if I found a stray dog on the street, I would want to help it too! This dog seemed really appreciative of this person, and I'm glad that he can have a happy home now.

This is such a cute video. Unfortunately though, I see a lot of these types of videos on Instagram and on tv. In this day, many people abandon their pets when they learn how much of a responsibility they are. Even worse, many dogs are abused by their owners. I hope in the future all pets and animals are given the respect they deserve.

I have seen some of those videos before where they rescue stray dogs and they are always heartwarming. I have two cats at home and both of them are great. They both really like people and are always happy to see me whenever I wake up or come home from school/work.

That dog was really cute. I mean, you can't go wrong with dogs in general, but this dog in particular was very very cute. What was really interesting is how he became so attached to the box. We don't know, but it could have been his home for months or maybe even years. I'm gld that he was able to finally find a home and a friend though. Dogs are in fact social animals, and starving them of contact with humans or other dogs can cause lasting damage to their mental state.
