Good job Steve. Now my glasses are all fogged up and the rims are starting to rust.

[@omegazavaleta9138]

God Bless this young lady an her two special helpers. Three angels spreading love

[@1bls]

Great job! I served 8 years in the Marine Corps, but I didn’t sacrifice anything even close to what this young lady did. She had every right to give up, but found a reason not to. I had my adult children watch this so that they could see first hand, what an adult that they should emulate looks like.

Onion chopping bandits just ran through my house, I see......

[@jeffhur4066]

Jeff Glor and Steve Hartman always get that teary eyed look. Two men with good hearts.

[@deansapp4635]

Thank you for your service, Christy. You have a great heart

[@rhodachandler4277]

I fell the same about my doggo. Great story!

[@fiercefacts7191]

One of a billion reasons we should save all dogs, everywhere. They are not "It" they are He and She

[@SMcCaskill]

I can surely relate to the looks she gets from Moxie at times. I had a golden retriever service dog and at times Sadie would inflict her guilt trip looks on me. She was my best friend for 14 years and I miss her terribly.

[@ryansenft3315]

Moxie is the GOODEST GIRL!!

[@neiceadkins8277]

Beautiful story 🌹

[@prepayingskate]

I am good friends with them both

[@countroshculla]

Dogs are the best!

Amazing
Thank You Steve!

[@JustMe-hj8jq]

ALL dogs deserve so much more. The most remarkable animals above all. The dog's capacity to forgive humans that have brutally hurt them at times? And come back into a relationship with a human - and help or even save them. We don't deserve dogs, or they don't deserve humans.

[@rachelsimons5092]

Geeze louise. I'm sobbing. Good on them.

[@112101eh]

I’m not crying 😭 This is to adorable

[@baneherrera2270]

[@nobody-mq6qi]

Haha the presenter's eyes at the end though 😍

[@patminard2015]

What a wonderful story about three heroes. There are lessons abounding in this episode. I plan to research Vetra science to see if they have cat food. Thanks to them for their support of this military Veteran hero!

[@anonymerdan5954]

[@elizabethholis237]

We need a follow up!

[@gailthomas2631]

Steve. Tiny Tim, now Lucky. will be 3 years old soon. He's super. Need to do a follow up on them. 😉

[@heatherfeather5441]

$10,000 to amputate. Why didn’t a vet step up an do the right thing and perform the surgery for free?

[@muffs55mercury61]

Very true. Was thinking th very same thing!

[@tristanriley1694]

Wow

[@Sydstuhz]

Only reason I’m alive today is because of my childhood dog. Wow, I’m sobbing

[@smurfmaxineblue6833]

I have a pit and a coonhound/Mastiff. They're my children and I would go to the ends of the earth for those weirdos.
