    Matilda’s message without saying a word, is that even though every single step is a struggle, being alive and feeling wanted is all the happiness she needs.

    Good grief. What an incredible human being. Such an example of a real man. His vulnerability and honesty is so damn refreshing. I already know how he feels about his dogs! He feels the same way I do about mine. They aren’t just animals; they are family. They are PART OF ME! Lee Asher…If I had millions of dollars…this is where I’d send it. You and your babies deserve the most incredible life together.

      Me too. I have two religious organizations I would give big money to. They are the real deal. I trust them both and you don't see them on TV. They are helping Christians all over the world and taking the "good news" all over the world.
      Also, I would bless "Best Friends" animal sanctuary in Utah and now, "The Asher House."
      I hope to see Lee Asher finish building his sanctuary and I would love to visit. I also hope I'm still around to see Lee find a great wife and life partner like Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter) was blessed with.

      100% agree with your lovely comment. It feels like Lee really really needed the catharsis that sweet Matilda facilitated……he’s had so much loss, and several pups one right behind the other too: Tony, Charles, Pom Poms❤️❤️❤️. I’m so glad he and Matilda found each other.

    As someone with cerebellar ataxia, I know how scary the world can be. I fall over at least three times a day, if I close my eyes I just drop like a stone. I have the staggering gait and have to explain that I have a brain tumour, I’m not drunk. Watching Matilda is like seeing myself the way other people might do. She might be wobbly in someone else’s eyes, but to me she’s just dancing to a different tune. I have oscillopsia and nystagmus so my eyeballs shake, inanimate objects spin ( table tops to busses ) and I’ve got chronic vertigo; it’s like being drunk on a Ferris wheel that’s on top of a merry go round that’s on a ferry boat.
    I will never be able to ride a horse again, ride a bike…I can’t even dance anymore. I used to do aerial hoops and pole dancing with inversions. That’s all gone. I can’t even dance on a flat surface. I went from being en pointe to having my wings clipped.
    Tilda ( one of my favourite names ) has more confidence than I do. She’s not embarrassed if she stumbles and falls, she gets back up. If Miss Matilda can do it, I can do it too. I might not be graceful as I once was, but maybe I can make something beautiful out of all of this. I’m going to have to remember to ask myself, What would Tilda do? And then do that.
    I wish you, the pack and Tilda all the love, joy and happiness in the world. I hope you dance like nobody’s watching, Tiny Dancer Tilda and maybe save a dance for me. 💕💕💕

Every time this video comes up, I will watch it and it always touches my heart. Thank you Lee, for adopting her. She is a ray of sunshine.🥰🥰🥰

    I understand you totally! I´m a64 yrs old know, and old outcast, still an outcast in many ways but adapting and camouflaging, may be accepting that all my life, due to many and weird circumstances, made me like that . Now I start understanding that my differences may be a blessing to me or to others. I have 7 dogs and 7 cats, they all came to me in different ways and they are my canine/feline family along with my two human children. Being different is painful, you always feel like you don´t belong, you feel abandoned and fragile, and I think dogs can sense that. They think, this human has felt so much pain, he/she is like me, I can trust him/her. YOU ARE GREAT, YOU ARE DIFFERENT, and see how that DIFFERENCE creates love and understanding. Because you are SPECIAL and DIFFERENT you create a wonderful environment of love for the dogs, and through these happy dogs and your videos you communicate how sensitive you are. NEVER, never minimize these feelings!! YOU ARE GREAT and nobody can deny that! Keep working, many dogs and many people need you. I´m sending you a big bear hug from Spain.

I love her so much and I’m so grateful to the rescue that found her and took her in. She was skin and bones and had parvo. They didn’t think she would survive but she fought through it. I totally believe she was meant to be my dog. ❤

    That face! Those expressive eyes! That cute, little body wiggling. Her short little legs are adorable. The way she looks when she's lying down with Lee seems like a "spiritual" connection. Can a dog be any more adorable?! She is having the time of her life with Lee and the pack.

I've always wanted to buy a big ranch so I could empty out all the animal shelters around me. Thank you for giving in to your HUGE heart. You can judge a person's character by their love, or lack of, for animals. I'm a huge lover of all animals. Stay strong and know how awesome you are. ❤️🙏❤️

    After Matilda's passing I decided to only adopt older or disabled babies. Chloe isn't disabled but she had a rough 9 years before she got to us. After being apart of our family for a year she doesn't need the meds the last foster family had her on and she loves being loved (she had trust issues when she got to us) and is just a big baby again ❤
