00:00 They told us that his owner had been arrested and he had been stuck in a house for over a week.
00:06 Nobody knew he was there. He was really malnourished.
00:09 His brother was in good health and a humane society pulled his brother but not him.
00:17 He was older so they just assumed that he wasn't going to find a home.
00:21 I convinced my fiance to just go meet him.
00:28 When we got there, there was like all the kennels in the pound and he was the only dog laying there quiet, not barking, just super still.
00:35 I just couldn't stop crying.
00:36 A week later, we've picked him up.
00:38 When we brought him home, he left.
00:42 And then he woke up and was so excited like he had finally found his home.
00:47 My fiance Rob didn't want him because we already had two.
00:51 Now he carries him around like a baby.
00:53 They do piggyback rides and they're best friends.
00:55 I've never met a dog like him ever.
00:57 His personality is one of a kind.
00:59 When he doesn't get what he wants, he yells.
01:02 If I'm sitting in his spot on the couch, he'll sit on the floor and just like whine and he'll go on forever.
01:08 You can hear him from anywhere in the house.
01:12 If he wants to cuddle but nobody will pet him, he'll yell.
01:14 If he wants dinner, he'll sit on the floor and yell.
01:18 He acts like an old man.
01:20 He likes to sleep and he's the biggest cuddle bug ever.
01:25 He's very patient and gentle with kids.
01:27 Thor is like my son.
01:29 A lot of people see him and they immediately think he's like this aggressive, mean dog
01:32 when really he's the nicest dog you'll ever meet.
01:35 It's sad because when we go in public, other dogs will get pet.
01:38 We'll walk by him and he'll get sad and watch.
01:41 A lot of people question like what happened to his ears, why we did that and stuff like that.
01:52 I usually explain to people like we got him like that, we rescued him and he already had his ears cropped.
01:56 And it was a bad cropping.
01:58 I know that bad things did happen.
02:00 Like I know he was used for breeding constantly.
02:02 It's inspiring to see a life go through something that brutal and then be able to come out on the other side and trust and love people.
02:12 I love the way that he teaches people to love and he means the world to me.
02:19 I think it's important to adopt because there's a lot of amazing dogs like Thor out there that people miss out on.
02:24 People say when they look at Thor, "Wow, he's a tank."
02:28 And they say, "If I connect him to the house, he could pull it."
02:30 Or, "If I connect him to the car, he could pull it."
02:32 He is like my heart outside of my body.
02:35 And I genuinely feel like he's my baby, like a son.
02:39 I would tell Thor, "I'm sorry for the things he's been through."
02:42 And I will try my hardest to make the rest of his life as perfect as it can be.
