My baby…the love of my life…who still has my heart 17 years after his passing…was in a cage trying to get my attention in a pet store in Arlington TX. As I walked away, my friend said, “He’s looking to see where you are going.” I asked to hold him, and the pet store employee told me, “A family brought him back. They say he doesn’t like people.” I remember thinking, “Well he seems to like ME.” He came home with me, and quickly became the love of my life. He was three months old when he chose me, and he passed in my arms at 16 and a half. Our bond was magical.
What a sweet story of your best friend. ❤
Bless your heart for protecting and caring for your pet until the end. Someday, you will be reunited.
I grew up in Arlington tx. Really weird I suddenly saw two mentions of Arlington today. Maybe it’s a sign
You will see each other in heaven
My husky chose me as well, out of the litter of six. The other five ignored me completely. When they choose you instead of the other way around, it can be an even stronger bond.
If you’re inclined to write off a dog as “too much work” after two days, you have no business seeking to adopt a pet in the first place.
It's better to return her than to try to make it work and neglect her and or treat her wrong or even abuse her. The previous adopters should just get a goldfish
@@lizxu322 I'd feel bad for that goldfish, too.
you said it.
@@lizxu322 I understand your train of thought but as a rescuer of COUNTLESS new family furries..don't adopt unless you are ALL in. Foster for a few day or donate your time at a rescue first . It's unfair to the pet you adopt to be shuffled around.
If you have a human child that’s a lot of work, you can have a dog that’s lots of work too!
I'm glad you kept her. She is already used to you guys and she loves you
Once she bonded with the husband, she became their dog. Giving her away would break her trust again.
My dog has been returned many times before I adopted him. The shelter wasn't seeking a family anymore when I got him. All of this happened just because he was shy and very scared of people, instead of being extrovert and cuddly. Now he's the most adorable and loving creature in the world 🥰
The darn cheek that the shelter wasn't seeking a family anymore. What then? Would he just have stayed there in isolation? Then at that point a decision should have been made to rather set his spirit free and have him to sleep. We are all pro life as far as possible, but what was more cruel???
Hard to fathom crazy people. Of course love and patience. We know this works out in the end. She's so adoreable.
God bless your beautiful family!!!
My previous dog at 3 1/2 years old had 3 homes plus the rescue center when I adopted her, I could not of got a better dog had I tried, she died when she was 12 in 2018, a few months later I adopted a 7 1/2 year old Husky who was a handful and nearly went back several times due to aggression issues, now she is a big soft dog
Thank you for sharing that 😊.
Shame on anyone who abuses dogs or any animals. Dogs are one of God's precious gifts to humanity.
Shame on anyone who dares to abuse.
What about cows, sheep , goats is god so inhumane that they aren't their precious gift
Kristi Noem disagrees. 😪
@@philpalmer4877 promise you not all republicans are like her she is a monster
What about leeches?
If you want a "work free" dog, buy a doll instead of a pet.
Chips deserves all the love! Thankfuly, she found in her foster, and now her oficial family, a place to be forever ❤️
People are different, just like dogs. They were just a poor match. Maybe a better screening process to determine suitability is needed.
Agreed!
Agreed
Exactly.
Or a pet rock
'Too much work'. That is so terrible to hear. Did they think a dog is a bloody toy or something? Thank GOODNESS you guys kept this lil girl. She seems like a real sweetie, from what I can see. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for being good people.
People dont realize it takes animals time to adjust to a new home and people. Dont give them back. Take time to let the dog adjust.. Be kind.
There's a reason when we say "you don't pick the dog, the dog picks you" and is so true. I have a little dog that fostered her during her pregnancy, the puppies were adopted, and somebody took her (the mom) for adoption, in less than a month she escaped from that house and came back to me. After that, I couldn't let her go with another human, and now she's with me.
Aww ☺️ nice 👍🏻 touching ♥️ story Angeles,thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing it & a happy 🙂 ending for you & your dog. 🐶 ❤
Good job foster Mom!!!! Foster fails are the best!!!
So proud of ya 😁
❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾
Show us a picture of her. What a cute story
Aww that's beautiful. Cling close to each other and have a long happy life together. 😍😍🥰🥰
This is why people should not just adopt on a whim if they are not ready to put in time to care for an animal.
You are absolutely right. Who knows what trauma this poor pup suffered and ANY dog or cat needs time to acclimate and adjust. I'm so happy she's with a loving, safe home. Sadly we live in such a disposable world. Don't like something, return it. Blessings to all who give of themselves selflessly to make a difference for these animals to be saved and loved. Love transforms us all.
I applaud you all. 👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🐾
Not just adoption either obviously, just getting an animal in general.
You are absolutely right. Ive fostered many, many dogs. When speaking with a potential adopter, I am as honest as possible about the dog, their quirks, strengths, things they need to work on etc.
I want to make sure the adopter and the dog fit well with each other. For instance, a dog like Chips would only go to a quiet household with people who are experienced working with fearful dogs and with reward based training backgrounds.
No younger kids, no busy lifestyle with people coming and going constantly and any other pets (sometimes another pet is the perfect thing to bring a fearful dog out of their shell) would have to be well matched personality wise.
Even then, sometimes I see people get starry eyed over a potential dog regardless of how well that dog would fit in their life, or they havent really any thought into the 10-15 year commitment of time, resources, and emotion owning a dog requires.
I so agree with your statement. Also, some people don't know the first thing about dogs & they go and adopt or worse purchase a dog for the status they can provide. However. They don't exercise, socialize or play with the dog or even clean up after the dog. Then they complain about the dog misbehaving when in fact, it is they who are failures for not providing the care that a dog needs.
@@childofcascadia First if all, bless you! I give you such love and support. This is a gift to all of us...a caring person who's in it for right reasons and caring. God bless you. We adopted two litter mates brothers. No one told us about this not even the breeders. So it's been a challenge with two pups and litter mates too. It has been life changing for us in the best way possible! These pups have brought us such love and devotion and smiles! No matter how many months of sleepless nights and carpet that looks like swiss cheese, we are so grateful for them. We had other dogs that were strays and it took months and months to them win them over to trust us. They were the best pets. They just needed love and care. Thank you again. You re an angel on this earth. All of you! Blessings!!
have a similar story. i grew up with dogs my whole life. when i moved out on my own i lived in apartments for several years and when i bought my first house, i wanted a dog. I waited 6 months after and adopted a shelter dog. i brought her home and she just could not adjust to being in a home. she only knew the shelter the first 6 months of her life. i took her back to the shelter and asked if she had been abused because she was literally afraid of everything. it was the worst feeling of my entire life leaving her there until i had to go back and give her a second chance. like it was god telling me i had to go back and try again. aside from getting married and having a son, bringing my future best friend back into my home was the best decision of my life. 11 years later and she is literally the best friend i ever had. god bless you if you took the time to read this and hope it inspires you to always be kind to animals and let them into your lives if you have the means.
God bless you for giving your pup a second chance. ❤❤❤❤
Yay for YOU! And, your kind heart, and listening to your intuition!! :) Blessings~
What did people do to her to make her feel so scared. Thank God for you!
Dogs are very special, precious souls. Idiots can really hurt them.
Dogs are disgusting
What about you eating Chicken and cow
Bless you for keeping her. Poor girl. I can’t imagine the trauma of being returned after only 2 days.
isn't it just like staying at a relative while you are on holidays though
@@rachebrother5349
Don’t ever adopt a rescue. SMH
@@misssophie7717 i won't, don't worry 😃
Awe that's so sad she must have been really confused. Hope she has a happy home and is loved every day.
@@rachebrother5349 I love your response! Apparently trying to diminish the “trauma” of the dog staying somewhere else for two days makes you unfit for the human race😂😂😂! Frankly, these days, I’d take that as a W!!
Shy and scared dogs are the most loyal loving dogs once they open up which means you've earned their trust.
Too much work? Disgusting. Thank you for adopting her, she's really a sweetheart.
That big fat "F" isn't for failure . It's for "F"abulous ,"F"antastic and most importantly "FAMILY " :)
I LOVED when she said that! If you want to fail at something, being a foster failure is the best type of failure in my books.
*BEST COMMENT*
🔥🔥🔥🔥❣️❣️❣️❣️
omg...im crying even more now..... aaawe FAMILY......
And Fate!
Not a failure. She ended up right where she was supposed to be. Such a sweet girl! Thank you for your patience, kindness and love!
Amen to that ! 😉
Thank you for adopting this precious girl Chips Ahoy! - what a great name 😆 I hope she has many happy years with you and your hubby!! 🥰🐕
Eeyup.
Lucky dog to have you!!!
They mean it in a good way. it's like going to an animal shelter and picking just one pet instead of picking like 5. Their job is to rehabilitate animals because it takes a lot of time and effort and bring them to a new home no matter how gut-wrenching it is but they fell in love and said screw it.
Thank you for giving her a home to put her at ease.
She is adorable. She knows the people who love her. The ones who thought of her as " too much work", did not deserve her.
Or any other pet, for that matter. I usually try to be understanding, but f them. I hope local fosters put them on a list of people not to be trusted.
@@susieusmaximus5330 That is an excellent idea. Totally agree with you.
So true. I established a dog rescue 20 plus yrs ago. I have had to bite my
tongue many times to keep from saying, "well, I have a nice STUFFED ANIMAL I can show you" to people who have come to look at our dogs who had that mindset.🙄😁
@@csf7773 Self- control is a good thing. I laughed at your stuffed animal line. Thanks for giving me a chuckle. Sometimes people look at a dog or any other animal as a toy. All pets need care, Food, medicine, affection, exercise, and understanding. Not all animals have the same temperament. Abandonment and abuse can be a factor. It takes time and patience to pull them through the trauma. Thanks 😊 again. 🌞
It's really not about that. Be thankful they recognized their limits instead of keeping the dog and messing it up...ending up hating it....having an adopted dog is different than starting from puppy. Each has their challenges. Not everyone is cut out for it...I guess I prefer to be thankful they recognized that in themselves.
She was returned because she belongs to YOUR family.
Your family is the very best choice for this wonderful and beautiful dog 💜💚💛💙🧡❤ Take good care of her and God bless!!!
Thank you!! For 2 days this Angel was miserable because you built her trust to give her away. I still would have pooped in your shoes!!!
I absolutely agree that adorable ❤🐕❤ belongs to your family. Bless your heart❤❤❤🐕❤❤
@@shirlepps4636 yeah I didn’t understand that at all. Then why adopt a rescue in the first place.
@@andrewjones2133
That part!
Couldn't have said it better myself! Well done!
The dog was neglected for a long time ,it shows in her behavior. Patience and understanding is the start to a trusting pet.
I love this!!!! My dog was my "failure" . I fostered her 11 years ago and after a year and a half of rehabilitating her I look back on how far she came. How far I came. Keeping her as my family was my BEST decision of my ENTIRE life. The end of this month we celebrate 11 years together. :)
My dog was returned before we got him. He had been in four other shelters before he got to ours. The guy said he only wanted to be outside and didn't want to spend time with his son. Seriously people, dogs aren't toys! Let them decide when it's time to come to you. We've had him for four years and he is the sweetest boy... loves every person and every dog he has ever met.
They should buy a soft toy! Dogs are sensitive and empathic, they need input, affection and love. It makes you wonder what sort of parents these people are to their children.
lots of people including dog owners seem to have absolutely no concept of respecting dogs, they just expect to be able to do whatever they feel like doing with a dog, and if the dog isn't happy about that, they think the dog is broken.
Some people are like that with children as well as pets. I've seen people have kids to fill some need or emotional hole for themselves and act like they are just excited to get some live doll to play with or something. Seriously do not have kids or pets if you are that selfish people! They both require a lot of work and patience and need to be respected as individual beings with their own emotions and needs.
Makes you wonder how the son was treating the dog if the dog (who now loves everyone) wouldn’t be around him.
" The guy said he only wanted to be outside and didn't want to spend time with his son." These are the very same people who will leave behind a dog or cat when they move because they think it is inconvenient to take them to the new place.
She’s absolutely gorgeous. She couldn’t have wished for a better family.
anyone else feel hungry
This was her foster family.
Or as they say ....a failed foster...
I I
A blessing in disguise for those people returning her……they clearly weren’t fit or worthy of having her!
I am so so happy, you gave her a forever home.
I wouldn’t say that’s a foster fail, I’d say that’s a foster success 💛
I agree!
She just needed time, it's no telling where she was rescued from and what they did to her. Thank god she was returned to you. Beautiful story 🙏🙏❤
Thank god she wasnt abandoned rather than returned hope she finds a better home that can give her time
These are the worst foster parents I've ever seen. This woman does not need to be fostering animals she's too bizarre. Plus who's going to want an animal that keeps stealing socks? I can't tell you how stupid you people look to the regular world
@@faithreturns333 shut up🤬 nobody likes creeps like you
@@faithreturns333 my cat used to steal socks lol I loved that^^ call me wierd but whenever I'd lose my socks and she wasnt around she find them when she came back and put em under my bed
@@faithreturns333 What a heartless, rude and toxic thing to say. Pouring all that bitter nasty rubbish into the world tends to flow back on you like sewage which is evidently already a thing with you.
This woman is a jewel. She is loving and that's why the dog trusted her. Lady, you are truly a wonderful person.
You are NOT a fail at all. You are a proud pet parent!! So glad you kept Chips.
Chips is just meant for her. Remember...they choose us. Not the other way around.
I totally agree with that statement. My sweet, sweet Trixie certainly chose me and it's been love between us ever since!!
I’m still salty about the puppy my family got for me, ending up liking my sister more. Sadly the apartment she lives in is not allowed to have dogs but the one I live in does, so the puppy lives with me but ADORES my sister (and I always have a doggy sitter on call if I’m out of town so win win)
"She was too much work."
Sounds like they're too lazy to own a pet.
I don't think so, After parting with her "family" she probably started to behave in the same way as at the beginning.She hid everywhere and she wasn't interested in any contact. Those people did the best thing they could for her.
@@beatapogorzelska1241 not giving Chips just 2 Days they DIDN’T do the Best they could!!!💯
Aye, those words shouldn't be in someone's vocabulary when adopting a pet. 😑
@@osamawilliams9042 They should have taken a dog from a shelter. Look at Takis shelter channel. The dogs there are really happy to be taken showing trust and love immediately.Technically the adopters took her from her family and they did the best returning her.
Sounds like they really didn't want her anything worth keeping is alot of work.
Chip Ahoy was destined to be girl. Thank you for loving and adopting this beautiful baby.
My cat was surrendered when she was 3 years old. She was returned to the shelter after a week because she was not used to dogs. Both of those homes were failures. Had her 3 years now, best pet I ever had. I ❤ her and she knows it.
Why people dislike these wholesome videos where people are saving LIVES is beyond me
Ikr!
maybe because of the socks part ? don't let dogs eat socks because they will eat them and then it's to the vet or death, happened to mine, pretty stupid part of the video
didn't dislike but that would be a reason
Biden voters
Why people still parrot this despite it clearly changing nothing is beyond me.
@@johnkonstantine9115 Dumpty voters.
Too much work? what did they think this was a goldfish, where you put food out twice a day. It's a dog, a pet that needs time and stimulation. Those people should never own pets. Glad to see the fosters adopt her
Fish aren't too much work? You've never had to maintain a tank have ya luv 😂 but absolutely agree, it's irresponsible to get any animal without doing research on the species and the individual your getting. All animals have special requirements and need love and attention x
@@flame-29936 I guess i must have written it wrong. Unlike Fish who just need some food and weekly cleaning. Dogs, birds, cats, and other more mobile animals around the house need a lot more attention and effort. You should either be fully devoted or have thoroughly researched before getting these types of pets. Each one is unique and has different needs. Some people amaze me at how incompetent they can be haha
@@flame-29936 Goldfish aren't really that much work. I didn't assume they meant some foreign tropical fish.
I so agree, I couldn't have said better
Some people "get" dogs. Some people don't. I've always been in the first group.
I raised many dogs from puppies but adopted Layla at a year and a half. Based on the paperwork this is her first real home. She had an intestinal parasite when I got her so after a week, I left her at the vet for some tests. She must have thought she'd been rejected again, after all the back room is full of kennels. She was very excited when I picked her up, but what really got to me was when we were home, she ran outside through the dog door, which I assumed meant she needed to pee. Instead, I watched her sprint to the end of the dog run and back in without stopping. The happiness in her eyes and overall excitement showed me how much it meant to her to finally have a home.
I adopted a colony cat, almost feral, from my local cat rescue. It took me a full month just to be able to look at her without her hiding behind the fish tank. Now, ten years later, she gives me the best head bumps and love bites. Don't give up on the difficult ones. They're worth it
On behalf of Chips Ahoy and all the other dogs who are frightened, have been neglected or abused, THANK YOU for sticking it out and giving them a chance to just be the beautiful, wonderful beings that they are!!!!
I’m glad they decided to keep her. Remember the three 3’s. 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to realize this might be forever, 3 months to feel like this is home. To return after 2 days those people don’t deserve a dog!
Some people like to think of themselves as animal lovers, but often that's only if the animal is attractive looking, a popular breed and easy to care for and young. When the animal is maybe not so cute, or has some issues, or is older...that's when the REAL animal lovers show up. Thank God for people like that!
Agree.
I think the same applies to ppl who think they love children.
As someone who's volunteered at a shelter for years, this is so true. We stopped putting the "desirable" animals (small, preferably young with no issues) on the website because they usually get adopted the same day anyway. It was causing issues with people getting angry when they came for the one puppy on the site only to find out he'd been adopted in under an hour. They'd walk out with nothing, won't even consider the others who had been there weeks or even months. Not because the long stays had any problems, but because 90% of the people are fighting (sometimes literally!) over 10% of the animals. Nobody cares about the rest 😢
Agreed
that's not a failure, that's a foster WIN! :D She's a beautiful girl with the exactly right family! :D
How could you deny those eyes! Thank you for keeping her!
I'm glad she was returned! Those people did not deserve her!! Now she & you both got what you deserved!!! Love!! Be Happy!
Nope! Sorry but if all one is willing to put in to a rescued pet is 2 days then they cop out then that tells me they are not legit pet people because even a dog raised from a new born pup is 11 to 15+ years of your time and effort. I have 3 dogs and all are rescued dogs when they were less than a year old. 1 is originally mine and the other two dogs I inherited by way of my brother's passing and my Mother's passing. I am single and hold a steady job from moving till evening and take all 3 dogs a good walk 4 to 6 days a week depending if the weather is good. I alone pay all their vet bills. It's a lot of work but I would never give them up because saying oh they are too much work. So from my point of view from a single Man with 3 dogs, if you're not willing to commit to a pet, then don't even consider it. Too many of my fellow Americans have become too darn selfish and physically lazy to put work in o a pet.
@@roberttimothy1338 very true. If you don’t want to put in the work, don’t adopt a dog.
"I've never been prouder to be a failure", that is the best thing I have ever said, especially because she gets Chips Ahoy. This is the sweetest story ever. I wish you and your family the absolute best.
And from me as well. Much love from Canada!
Lots of love and God bless from Australia🧡🧡🇦🇺❣️💚
So happy to see that you kept her. You are NOT a failure... you saved this dog's life. You are her angel!
Not a failure! You are Fantastic! Wishing you and your Family, including Chips, all the best from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤
Oh, SOOO happy you kept her! I was just crying and praying you'd keep her, cuz she not only wanted to stay with you both but she NEEDED to stay. She came to trust and love you as her family, her pack, and she wasn't ready to go elsewhere and be re-traumatized, etc. You did the right thing! Yay!!
She chose you not the other way around. She could only trust you guys so she chose you to be her forever home ❤
She is so adorable. I'm crying tears of joy that she was returned and you made her part of your family. God bless you.
When we adopted Jasper, at 10 months old, we were his _fourth_ try! I promised him we would never give up on him, no matter what. I swear, he must've thought to himself, "Challenge accepted!"🤣 But, he failed, and we won - he lived happily ever after with, with us. 🥰
R.I.P. Jasper! We'll forever love and miss you!
I'm Sorry 😔 for your Loss.
Keep his Memories ALIVE!!!!
You're not a failure. I give you an A+! Chips Ahoy was skittish in the beginning, but once he realized he was safe in your home, he came out of his shell. You were very patient with him which was what he needed. I'm so glad you adopted him and will provide him with the life and love he needs. ❤️
In the fostering circle, being a foster fail is a positive comment. It just means that you failed at placing them with someone else it doesn’t mean that you’re a failure. Very few fostering families don’t have at least one “failure” out of their time at fostering.
A "Foster Fail" is a good term, not a negative one. It means you failed at just being a foster family, but instead ended up loving the dog so much that you adopted it. It's a term of endearment, and one I'm always happy to hear.
Wow, imagine if my parents gave me this much attention as a child.
Glad this dog got the love deserved
Omg the look in her eyes breaks my heart, she's terrified. What has that poor baby been through? What sort of evil monster could hurt that precious baby?
She knew she was home and that’s why she probably was acting differently at the other home. It’s because she wanted to be returned to ‘her’ home! If failure is what you call love, then let’s all fail! ❤️
Exactly ! It took her so long to trust them & then to be with new people, she was probably so scared & confused
Yep she missed her mom and dad
Poor baby. Shuffled from one home to another. She just wanted the humans who saved her. ❤
She adopted you before you decided to keep her, especially the way she trailed after your husband. She decided you were her forever home before you knew it. So glad you kept her!
“She can have all the socks in the world that she wants.” That’s right!
That says all that needs to be said. They give us their hearts, there is nothing we shouldn't be willing to give them in return.
dogs seem to find socks oddly appealing ! Probably our smell, and easily attainable !.
No animal should ever have that expression in their eyes. She was haunted by what she's been through and yet finally, she had someone to trust and bond her up. Then they gave her to someone else. Happy she's happy and is back with the Foster family, but the thought of how the poor thing was feeling when she was with the other people, is heartbreaking.
I’m no vegetarian but your comment reminded me why I can’t eat mammals anymore, it’s that same scared look in the sheep and cow’s eyes. Birds, fish, that doesn’t seem to get to me.
@@admiralbeez8143 you should watch a video from a chicken slaughterhouse. That might change your mind. It's horrific
Exactly my point which I posted before I saw your comment!
Yes... correct...i absolutely agree...
This episode made me cry.. thank you for adapting her !
the best feeling is seeing how far they come when they start out like this. Our little girl was so scared, hid in the corner, wouldn't walk on our floor for months... we just gave her time and space. Even tho lots of things still scare her, we have just learned how to pivot and adjust. But she's just so full of love when she's at home where she is the most comfortable. People want this Instagramable dog and that just doesn't happen with adoption all the time. I am glad this dog ended up with people who cared enough to give Chips time and patience.
Chips Ahoy must have been severely abused by some rotten humans. He is blessed to have found such kind, loving and patient parents. Wishing you all many years of happiness together ❤️🙏❤️
yes, my sister in law adopted a severely abused Doxie and he tried to bite me but i saw his eyes he was in terror when he heard my deep voice so i thought he was abused by a guy who had a deep voice so i would change my voice around him and he and i were besties he passed about 2 1/2 years ago and i was very sad because he just needed a loving home ( my sister in law) and good friends like me i cried for days after he passed but i knew that he had a better life away from his abuser
Oh,thank goodness they adopted her!!!
God bless the poor dog got a real forever home, and not be return, it s so heartbreaking for the dog and people to see and read
I’m glad she is part of your family! Chips Ahoy you have a forever family!
"Brendan is a good man, giving Chips Ahoy extended body rubs."
🤭 awwwwwww
Brendan and Chips are BFFs
Maybe another name would have worked better. Ahoy is a signal word. Chips isn't a name either.
I'm so glad you kept her and gave her your forever home. She is a cute dog too, and so sweet.. Bless you for keeping her!
She's cute? I'm a minute and a half in and barely know what the dog even looks like. The foster mom is taking up 90% of the screen in almost every shot 🙄
You didn't FAIL, you helped Chips Ahoy OVERCOME YEARS of ABUSE!!! That my dear is an "A" in my book!! I'm so glad you've helped and adopted him, he's so happy to be ALIVE again!! Abusers are terrible people, and they will one day be judged from Our Heavenly Father!! ❤ Give a 💋to Chips Ahoy and a big hug Diana
So glad you kept him. Will make all the difference in the rest of his life! Thank you. ❤
Don't care about the other people who didn't want her...You have no idea how much I loooove you and your hubby for taking the time and patience needed to make that beautiful dog comfortable and for keeping her. Thank you for documenting this. This world NEEDS more people like you!!
💯% For sure Ron!!!
"We want to giver her our home." That's how true dog parents feel.
Dog is Always a dog nice to see that!
@@PhysicsOfParkour
Of course. It is a mentally retarded beggar, unable to survive on its own abilities, so it's totally relying on a human for everything.
But it doesn't beg for much. It only begs for its food for life, its home for life, its vets for life and your precious time for the rest of its life.
But it pays you back! When it sees its everything-provider it wags its tail and licks him...
And we have agreed to call this... "unconditional love"!
CONCLUSION: The I.Q of the dog "parents" is comparable to the I.Q of their "children", only a little more naive.
@@FoibosGr2 yup....its true.
@@FoibosGr2 you know ,honestly I'm not sure what you are trying to say. What do you mean by "mentally retarded beggar"? -_-!
@@ashotoftequila3426
1. About "beggar":
All its survival capabilities have been bred out during the ancient human project of domesticating the wolfs.
So, the dogs can only survive depending on human charity.
They beg the humans for food and all other essentials for surviving, because they could not survive without the human help.
2. About "mentally retarded".
The dog species came from ancient wolves after downgrade.
The today dog brain is 30% smaller than today wolf's. That's an average among all dog species.
Even a 6 month old wolf puppy easily outsmarts any adult dog on this planet.
So, dogs are mentally rearded compared to their ancestors.
If humans disappeared all other animals would be very happy but the dogs. The dogs would disappear 2-3 weeks after humans, when they would have consumed every human food leftovers. They can not hunt in order to survive. They lost this ability thousands years ago.
They are an incomplete species depending on other species (the human) for their survival.
I'm glad you kept chips ahoy
What a good girl !!! You gave her your time, patience and love and in return, she given you her love and loyalty. Want a great "FOSTER FAIL" ! !
I'm so glad she came back to you.
Sometimes you don't choose the home, sometimes they choose the home.
Very beautiful story for Chips
“She’s too much work,”
Well then you clearly didn’t deserve her then.
After 2 days! Like really think about that; it's crazy.
I suppose it could have been worse, if they had left her at a kill shelter instead

@@heyman6228 word salad, you're great at making those
I'm so happy they kept her, she didn't want any other home. I'm her heart and mind she was already home.
Thank you for adopting her she is a gem!
Everything happens for a reason that's why she's yours such a beautiful dog.
She is so cute. I’m actually glad the other person returned her. She needs, loves, and trusts you and your husband. She was meant to be yours. Thank you for not giving up on that sweet baby. Happy life to you all. 😁😘
Hey
Thank you and your husband sooooo much for adopting her!! As I began to watch the video my heart sank when I saw how scared she was. Turns out that a failed adoption was the best thing that could have happened. Love heals.
You did an excellent job on bringing out her personality. She’s adorable and you are blessed to have her. She’s totally safe and loved .
"Too much work?" All she needed was a little love and patience. So happy that she has a fabulous family now.
Many people get a dog when what they need is a house plant . Water it give it a little light and you can feel accomplished. An animal is not like that. They need you as much as you need them. Food, understanding, time, scratches on the belly and petting on the ears. Snuggles on the couch. If you're the type that thinks dogs or cats belong in one space of the house or outside, not on the furniture or you don't have the time to put into a pet . If you can't see yourself treating it like family, don't get an animal.
Yes, dogs with anxiety and other mental health issues are more work than healthy and happy dogs. Yes, they are too much work for some people. No, there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with someone who acknowledges that someone or something is too much work for them.
@@princezzpuffypants6287 Still, it shows that they didn't think about it enough. Adopting an animal, especially with special needs, is a big deal ! You have to think the impact on the dog to be return...
Thank God they took her once she was retuned.
after the bond with Braden I would have never let her go. Glad you kept her
"She can have all the socks she wants"... 😄.
And, finally, you both gave her your heart ❤.
I bet Chips Ahoy was ecstatic to be back with these wonderful people where she belong 😭❤🙏👍
New dogs take time! Our amazing rescue girl was sooo nervous, and followed me EVERYWHERE for days. I felt like I had a newborn baby. One day I just lay on the couch with her ALL DAY LONG. Wrapped in blankies. Like 16 hours. I watched movies, ordered all our Christmas gifts, and did email. She looked into my eyes the entire time. I spent a few more days like that with her, mostly on the couch. Being very still and giving her rubs when she would accept them. FINALLY she relaxed. She's been a fantastic dog for 5 years now, just the best little girl. They need time and devotion and a calm person to learn to rely on! Yaaye for Chips!!!
Successful soul union between human and dog. No failure here. Chips Ahoy is a great dog.
Watched 4 in a row now and am in a mess crying about how utterly cruel people can be. Thank god for all the saviours who come to their rescue. God bless them.🥰🥰🥰
You have have love unconditional
Don't cry I cried for weeks and am still crying your sweet
Glad it's not just me who's moved to tears ( & I'm 6'2" and built like a brick outhouse)
She had her problems from going from one owner to another so it wasn’t surprising that her new owners had some difficulty with her. I am glad that you decided to keep her. She’s a little angel at heart.
She couldn't have gotten a better, more caring family for here. God Bless you for your love.Thank God for your "failure" it brought her to the correct home. Yeah! For you.
They say God closes a door, but opens a window. (He always gives you a second chance.)
Totally agree! She shouldn't have been adopted out if she was only able to get adjusted to her husband. The pup wasn't ready for more change.
@@ifonlyicared This was my thought, too. They tried to adopt her out too soon. But I'm glad she has her forever home now, and with people she trusts.
@@carolney5511 No, it's people who gave Chips a second chance, not ''god''. Praise the real people who made effort to make her happy and safe.
I got a german shepherd when he was about 1 year old that had never been well socialized and he was that scared, always hiding or looking for a hiding place. I figured out that if I laid down flat on the floor, he would come over and let me talk to him and pet him. Soon he slept in the bed with me resting his enormous head on my chest, and loved spooning with me and my other gsd. He was the sweetest dog ever. I miss him so much.
You’re not a failure. You gave Chips Ahoy love, compassion and time to acclimate. Unlike some people who give up after 2 days? Two days is not enough for an animal with ptsd to settle. Your family did a wonderful job and thank you for keeping Chips Ahoy .
It’s so sad to watch, but the dodo usually always saves the animal! 💖
I'm so glad she was able to overcome her fears and enjoy the great life she deserves! I'm also very happy that the foster family decided to keep her. It must have been so traumatizing to that poor little dog to be rejected by a new family so quickly. She ended up in the right place!
finally getting her to trust someone and then giving her away is too sad. I’m so glad u kept her.
Anyone that gives up after two days should not have animals in their care.
How very self-righteous of you...
@@suneelj93 and she's correct.
They didn't try. It took me six and a half months to fully integrate my mom's new cat into her home. He kept attacking me, biting and scratching me to where he drew blood. And I wrestled his ass back whenever he came at me. And he's still with us, five years later, because WE TOOK THE FUCKING TIME with him. If you don't have time patience dedication understanding attention compassion and finances to truly care for an animal companion, then you shouldn't get one because you don't deserve one.
@@sersastark 💯
@@sersastark You took that other person's level of self-righteousness and turned it up to new heights LMAO
Not everybody has the wealth of knowledge you clearly possess nor the heart of a true saint. They should be ridiculed and told they don't deserve a pet.
High maintenance pets should only go to the worthy few that behave like you. The undeserving don't even get a lower maintenance pet to love, they get nothing in your world.
@@suneelj93 How ignorant of you.
I'm so glad this was a foster fail! She wouldn't open up to anyone else like she did the people that made time for her.
I adopted a senior dog (8 years) with a history of neglect and abuse. I've tried to show him that he is loved, he is safe, and he is home. It hurts my heart that someone hurt this gentle soul. Last night while I was scratching his head, he rolled on his back, showed me his belly, closed his eyes and feel asleep. We have some work to do, but I think we're getting there.
Dogs are really, really smart. Their hearts do get broken.
It's not a failure, but a success any time a dog gets a loving home.
Hey
You are right- The best Failure is a Foster Fail for a dog that needs so much love, care and attention. Chips got the home she so deserved the 2nd time around.
I have a Chips Ahoy and she is slowly coming out her shell. She's wonderful and has this sweet wonderful gentle personality. She's still a trash hound but now when I catch she just looks at instead of running away in fear. It's fun to watch her decide if she's going to get in the trash or not. All I have to do is say her name and she walks away. These Chips Ahoys are not too much work; they are so worth the wait! My Chips Ahoy loves the cats and sleeps with them in the same bed. She makes me smile so often.
Isn't it wonderful seeing them come out of their shell and learn to love and trust again? It's amazing what patience, love and understanding can do. The damage/trauma didn't happen in one day...they likely endured it for a while. The healing isn't going to happen in one day either. Bless you for being patient and understanding with your Chips Ahoy and giving her unconditional love and a happy home. Stories like this give me hope for humanity. 💕
