    Hi! My friend came across this video last night and texted it to me. I was so pleased to see you visited Wilber (I only knew him as Draco). I was the one that found him as he wandered onto my front door back on 12/17. I was devastated when I found the zip tie around his neck and was so angry and extremely upset! He was the sweetest and I called LEAF everyday until I found out he was adopted. I was hoping to visit him when he was in better shape and have my daughter who was with me that awful day to see him when he wasn’t in so much pain. I was happy to hear he got adopted and was in a warm home for Christmas . Thank you for what you do! I’m sure he was so scared.

    One of the big differences between a Rocky video and other animal abuse videos is that Rocky also counsels us through the rage and sadness that flare in us over stories like these.

      I watch ,because there is always a happy ending, when they show how healthy and loved they become..it’s the story how they found them and how they become healthy again. BUT I believe there are some stories that are NOT real. Like some Chanel’s finds this beautiful small little dog in a box, and they take it to the vet, and so on.. when I see videos like that, I don’t watch them, because I’m pretty sure people make the little dogs all dirty, take them home and bathe them…etc I don’t believe them, AND they always ask for money. The internet are full of not really good people, and they do anything to make money..I only donate if it’s a real thing, like this one here, hope for paw and another few ones that I watch 🐶🤎🦴🌹

      He does look very spaniel-like and if he is that might go some way to explain it. Especially the smaller ones are often really lovely dogs who just thrive on affection. The main exception is cocker spaniels, which are *mostly* like that, but some have an extremely aggressive streak, I'm assuming from poor breeding for appearance rather than temperament. There's a reason toy spaniels are popular lap dogs!

      Agree. How can anyone that’s around dogs like she is, just pop out with, ‘a shepherd mix???? Except he’s smaller.’ Hello?
      Head shaking how many dogs in shelters are so mis-marked for what they actually are. Giving ppl the wrong impressions & may be costing them a shot, b/c of them not wanting a ‘sheph Mix, or PB mix, or any bully mix for a dog. So many mis categorized. SMH
      I’m glad it was decided he was probably a spaniel mix, b/c that’s certainly what he is.
      I immediately thought King Cavalier mix. With a Papillon, is a good guess as to his mix.
      If he goes back to those abusers, that will be another crime against that poor, gentle & loving boy.
      How could that even be considered???🤮
      I pray his problems are all treatable & he finds his safe, loving, forever family, soon. ♥

    I cannot stop crying about Wilbur and what those “animals” did to him. Just really sick people. No matter what their story is there no reason to hurt a poor innocent being who cannot even defend himself. Laws have to be stronger (if there even are laws) so that this never happens again. Rocky you are a Godsend for what you do for these dogs.
