The best thing about dogs is how they can make us better humans.

I found my dog skinny and abandoned. Nobody wanted her. She also saved my life 2 different times. Very loyal and smart. Awesome video.

She’s beautiful. It’s hard to believe that it was so difficult to find someone to adopt her.

when she visited him i started crying too. Omg.

Shelter dogs and stray dogs have been some of the best dogs I've ever had in my life they know that you're helping them. they build an incredibly strong connection with you .one of my dogs saved me from being attacked by another dog that broke through our chain link fence. Incredibly loyal and protective. She's a good girl and you're a sweet man.

Excuse me, THREE wonderful beings, including the lady who runs the shelter!

Dogs will Never forget the person who Saved them

I wish people would realize how smart and loyal dogs really are?

[marygonzales]

And some people think animals don't have feelings??? Seriously??? They should watch this a few times! I LOVE IT!

Dogs are better than humans. They are loyal and very protective. God bless you Sadie and Brian.

She’s a precious girl, it brings me to tears to hear that others rejected her, but yet she was able to save a human’s life.

Sadie deserves a whole box of doggie treats. 🐕

Ok, this made my cry. I can't imagine life without the love and affection of a dog.

Sadie is gorgeous and Brian is very lucky to be her pops. This breed is very intelligent and fiercely loyal.

I don’t understand why a German shepherd like Sadie and so intelligent and beautiful would end up in a animal shelter. So glad she got a home now!! ❤

The way the dog was so incredibly happy when he was coming out of the hospital - Sadie really loves her Daddy! Beautiful story.

[marionevans]

She was meant for him, his angle that's why no one else wanted her and she was not good for anyone else. She was saved for him to save him. Look at God.

Millions of dogs have saved human lives but not in so clear cut a manner. I can vouch for that.

I got my black German shepherd from a shelter in Texas, she had been abandoned twice. Her first adopter brought her back to the shelter because he couldn't handle the energy she had. It's been 4 years now and she never lets me out of her sight, has to be everywhere I am, and gets mad when I leave or defensive when people get close to me. Very loyal, smart and protective breed.

I have a rescue dog that was going to be euthanized and she came into my life just around the time my neurologist insisted that I get a therapy dog because of my seizures.
My little chihuahua will always get in my face when she notices that I am stressed out and calm me down and seizures have decreased quite a bit.
Having a therapy dog is truly an amazing experience!
