00:00One Sunday morning, I happened to walk my dog outside, and we just see this little furball.
00:06Immediately, my dad instincts just kicked in.
00:09I knew if I didn't do anything, he was going to die.
00:12When I found him, he barely fit on the palm of my hand.
00:15He was the run of the litter, and he was left behind.
00:19I really became his mom.
00:23He was so interested in everything. He was so curious about everything.
00:27He was hungry all the time. I tried to schedule it with my meals.
00:30We'd have breakfast together. We'd have lunch together. We did everything together.
00:34He was just happy to be around.
00:38Everyone in the gym was pumped.
00:41I would do pull-ups with him.
00:44I would have him on my stomach or on my lap while I'm bench pressing.
00:51He would actually do some of the exercises with me.
00:54It was both a combination of he just wanted to be involved and, oh, this is playtime.
01:00He's really adventurous, and he has a super bubbly personality.
01:08I think his curiosity really feeds into his adventurous side.
01:13He became my emotional support animal.
01:16Unofficially, he was teaching me how to love myself.
01:22It meant the world to me that he was there for me, and he just wanted me to be happy.
01:28He really changed my life when I needed someone the most.
01:31He was there for me, and I was there for him.
