Honestly because even if the truck is lifted and the impact wasn’t right on him sort of if the Chevy has been built cheaply he more then likely wouldn’t have survived through that
I have not watched one of your videos till now... I am so touched by your video and your story it has brought tears to my eyes. You are very luck to be here today and your dog as well. I hope that this message gets out there as drinking and driving has been a serious problem. Thank you for your story.
I'm just giving you some info that you may not know. Not believing in God comes with a bad end fate. You should read the Bible thats why I said that. So you know more about your choices.
WOW Dude,yes the big Guy upstairs was definitely in your corner that night,I never watch these types of vids here,but im so glad i did,thank God you and Gunner are OK,I'm 52 and have had a dog my whole life ,so i know just how you feel,this whole tale was so heart touching and honest.You are a very inspiring young man with a good head on your shoulders,i honestly cant tell you enough how your story touched me,but i am very glad i watched this vid,i have never been through something so intense,but ive had my share over the years,keep sharing your message,and i'm glad your fan base got you to start wearing your seatbelt,i dont think you would be makings vids still if you hadnt.Take care and be safe--Semper Fi
Watched every sec. Lump in throat when talking about your dog. Only a dog owner would know the bond. Glad gunner was okay dude. Here in the UK that driver be locked up.
I appreciate what you said about drinking and drugs. I’m the out cast from everyone I know because I don’t drink. Everyone ask me why I’m the odd ball and don’t drink and it because it’s not my thing either brother. Good to know you survived that experience. Stay safe.
This just shows God’s greatness, a man named “Jesus” came to help you and you found your dog at a church, God is great to great and genuine people like you. 🙏🙏
Dam. This just popped up on my YT man this made me sad the whole time about gunner. I'm glad he was ok, I know it was a year that u did this video but thanks for your story.
Ryan, you will never know why; but you and Gunner had a angel watching over you both that night. As a police officer, I have seen people at their worst, you will return to normalcy in time. You are a inspiration to all of your followers and great role model. I greatly appreciate you making this video.
Some people don’t understand how much a dog can mean to a person. I would react the same way you did. My dog means everything to me. They would sacrifice their life 100x without thinking twice about it. They are loyal to the bone. We can’t turn our back on that. I respect how you’re able to tell your story. Truly amazing story and so glad you’re ok.
Joshua Muenchow I understand how much a dog can mean.A few days before my bday I lost my best friend to cancer.She was everything I ever wonted and she was the most sweet and loving dog.her name is Punahele it means sweet and loving.One night I lost everything she just went.I guess it was time for her to go.When she left everything in my life cane to a stop.I never felt So depressed in my life,I was just thinking about her going to a better place and ending her suffer of cancer.Now some kid my friends new what I was going through,They all have a pet as well and some have lost one of their friends.Ever sense her going life is not as easy.But I now she will always be with me, I mite not see her but I now she is there.
I'm in the hospital right now after I survived a blood clot in in my heart and my lung . Be very grateful for Everything 🙏 you are blessed to have in your life your not promised tomorrow and be happy everyday you wake up.
My cousin passed away from a drunk driver he was heading home from church on his motorcycle and a drunk driver hit him going 60 I’m glad your okay you definitely had a angel watching over you..
Look man, you and your dog were literally being protected by a guardian angel that night. The odds were stacked against you, a nascar driver has a better chance of living from a head on collision than you did rolling over in that truck. God kept you alive and unharmed that night for a sole purpose and that was to make this video and to spread the word to not drink and drive. It happens everyday and you were luckier then a lottery ticket winner. Keep praying to the skys man, who knows when it will pay off for you again.
Hey bro I know what it's like to have bad memories of a bad accident that you've been involved in, me and my mother were ran over by an 18 wheeler trailer, and by the grace of God we both survived, very long story like yours, but I completely understand what u meant by the long term affects of the situation,I can't go past any 18 wheeler without getting chills n flashbacks,so I totally understand bro,it gets slightly easier through time, but mine has never gone away completely and it's been 10 years now. But your story is definitely something I can understand n relate to bro. I'm glad u n ur dog made it out without any harm. God bless.
Hey brother dogs are family no matter what any body tells you dogs are the most loyal animals they will always remember you. #youareworthit love you keep up the good work
some states treat dogs like humans,and in the case of a car crash that kills a dog it counts a killing a human so vehicular man slaughter. every state should have a law like this
preston george if you have 4 seats in that truck do yourself a favor and just be the DD (designated driver) for everyone else I did that with my first car and I made a little cash on the side for taking them home if they had to go home that night
Dude, Im speechless, I do drive faster and doesn't wear the seatbelt but after this 49 min of your video, trust me i will wear it, glad your baby protected you and gunner. god bless you ma man, god was watching you for sure
It's always amazing to me how the right people just happen to come into your life right when you need them. Renews my faith. Good story man, glad you're all safe.
Great message behind this, very touching story! Brought tears to my eyes, glad you and your dog both got away unharmed and healthy. This story needs to be shared and this message has to be shared. Drinking and driving is a huge problem and awareness needs to be spread. God was watching over you
Put dog ok at the top of feed. That was all I cared about. Drunk hit my work truck at 60 + MPH our 45 MPH first thing I did was call my nabior to ask her to let my dog out cause I was going to be late. Dog and wife most important people to me.
damn i watched every second of this video, i dont ever watch whole videos if they’re 15mins or over. this was a real wake up call, i don’t ever wear my seatbelt because ive seen seatbelts kill people but im going to wear mine from now on. glad you’re ok man and if god is real he blessed you and may he continue blessing you.
Btw, can we just take a minute to cut out the mean comments. He said it was a wake up call. Whether he was right or not before, he knows now and that’s what matter. You people have no manners
Just came upon your channel, I’ve been watching Eddie for a while, and thank you for your story. I feel the same about my dog, he’s truly my best friend. I’m so glad you found your dog and your guardian angel was truly by both your sides that night. God bless and thank you for sharing!!!
Glad you and your pup are still around. I know the feeling of loosing your best friend. My chocolate lab Jazmin passed away this month. It's the worst feeling in the world. Coming home and not hearing her tail wagging, walking around and not hearing her foot steps follow me. It's an awkward feeling. Give your pup a hug for still being around.
BRYAN AGUILAR I miss coming home from school and having her come up to me and lick my hand and be really excited to see me then then roll over and make me rub her belly for like 5 minutes
i relate to this so hard man. had my dog since he was born all the way up until sophmore/junior year of high school and after he passed it just wasnt the same
I can relate on many levels, I lost both of mine in 2018. One tragically 5 days before his 2nd birthday and the other passed from cancer within a week of diagnosis at 10 years old.
I’m actually happy/sad at the same time that this is the first comment I saw that didn’t credit god to him and his dog being okay. We should give those engineers a pay raise right?
Isn't it amazing the guy who helped you out of the truck and stayed with you the whole time til u left for the hospital his name was JESUS,,just saying not preaching
holy smoke the dog was at a church and the guy with you was named Jesus... I am a believer but that like wow that's more proof that there is someone watching over us
@@184_EngineCo cmon man, if someone was really watching over us, wouldnt you think they would do something to prevent the event in the 1st place? these were just coincidences and thanks to the engineers that designed the car.
This video impacted me in a very different way. I’m glad you and your dog were okay. Thank you for the videos, and sharing your story. You motivate me more than you will ever know!
Justice was definitely not served. I’m glad to hear you and Gunner are okay. Finding him by a church was not luck but more of a sign. You truly were blessed that night and we are all here for you!
Holy crap man I'm 15 right now and me 6 other people were in a crazy car accident and the driver wasn't drinking or anything but all the passengers were we fortunately hit a tree in a corner at 70mph all of us had broken backs broken noses everything god was with me and my friends that night I will never forget January 3rd 2019. For anyone that reads this u are not promised another day so please dont take things for granted I'm glad u are okay bro, just watching this reminded me of that night that I will never forget and I dont think u will forget you're night either
This video emotionally overwhelmed me, bless your heart and your sweet boy gunner! You were protected that night, either by your truck and maybe something else bro, just bless you. 💜🤙🏻
I can Vouch With You On This About Wearing Your Seat belt, That Saved My life When I Fell Asleep And Rolled My truck About 4 or 5 Times. I did not have a scratch on me since i was asleep but if it wasnt for my seat belt id be six feet under. Aside from that if anyone is a dog owner and sees their dog as a family member then this story will probably have you tearing up cuz i know i was ! Glad you and Gunner Are Safe & Sound Man!
Dude this video speaks volumes especially being it's a true story about things that really happened man. And honestly I want to say that you for supporting all the first responders.
This hit close to home brotha. 92 , lifted 85 toyota show truck , triple roll bars. Got off edge of paved road and when we pulled back on the right rear was spinning much faster than the truck. It launched the truck up on 2 wheels. Looked over at my passenger who had no seat belt on. Yelled put your seat belt on NOW! . I drove nearly 1/8th mile on 2 wheels and set it back down safely or so I thought. Suddenly the right rear blew off the bead and instantly we turned sideways at 55mph. 8 hard barrel rolls . Barely a scratch but we survived. Sadly tradgedy hit me much earlier though March 04, 1988 changing my life forever. My family and I were hit head on by guy on meth on I-10 westbound. Mother killed instantly, sister died but was resuscitated, father ejected nearly died and I was battered and bruised. Never know what life throws at ya .Glad you are ok my friend . Much love & respect. 😎👊🏼
That's classic PTSD. Get some counseling, it helps. Trust me. Glad you're ok man and Gunnar also. I'm retired FDNY and have been in counseling on and off for 17 years. Don't be afraid to seek help. It's why people are there doing that for a living. Good luck man.
Ryan, I have been watching your channel for a little over a year and this video came up in my feed today from 4 years ago. Wow man. Glad you and the dog were ok in the end. I am a big advocate against drinking and driving as a volunteer firefighter. You brought me to tears with this video as I have had to pull lifeless bodies out of wreckage many times. It sticks no matter what we tell you. God bless bud.
Happy you’re okay bro! Been following you and they guys for a while and I am a GM man through and through! Bow ties till we die! Love on to you and gunner!!
I think you should do a shirt and maybe donate the proceeds to the two ladies company so that they can continue to help people in this situation. Just a suggestion. My dads a first responder and it really makes me happy to see your support for these men and women who don’t always get recognition for the things that they do.
Man I am glad that your okay! I know it has been over 2 years but I am glad your here today. God is really your buddy. I love your videos and if you weren't here today, I would be sad. God bless you.
You're amazingly well spoken man. This story had me on the edge of my seat, and on the edge of tears. Your bond with your dog, as well as the rest your family is obviously incredibly strong. Sometimes insane and terrible things bring out the best in each of us. I hope you are well and enjoying time with your loved ones. Bless
That drunk driver should've got a worse punishment than that. Here in Texas, he would've gotten 5 to 10 years in jail. Hopefully he won't kill anybody else. God was with you and gunner that night and he kept you two safe.
New subscriber to your channel man, Iv seen a bunch of your videos! great stuff... I seen this one and man oh, man man! The minute you brought up alcohol.... I knew! I just effen knew! You took me back to the night my coworker and friend was killed durning the night shift where we use to work, also by a drunk driver😔 no jail time for him, got away clean! Justice wasn’t made for our friend. I hope this video reaches out more people! super serious stuff man! Thanks for posting this video 🙏🏽.
My heart was touched... I know that it's been a year since u posted this but this is the first vid I've seen of urs and God bless u and ur dog bc u were very lucky... I will continue to watch ur vids and give love and support
so many variables that went perfectly that night. if that driver would’ve hit your tailgate, your dog might not have made it. you had your seatbelt on when you usually dont. literally everything went so right for you. that’s a miracle. that’s definitely god working. so glad you’re okay
I’m so glad you made it out alive literally you just popped on my recommended and I never would of thought this would teach me a life lesson god bless you
Hey man this has probably been said a thousand times but God was watching you that night and he has a plan for you man. Glad you and gunner are still with us man.
Quality video, very well worded. So thankful you and your dog pulled through, I really felt your pain there. My own Silverado got wrecked a few months back so I know the feeling of loss that goes with something like this. Really incredible that you walked away from it, I give huge props to Chevy as well, I feel so good to be driving another Silverado knowing me and my passenger walked away from my accident, and that you walked away from yours being as horrific as it was. Keep the content coming bro, you're clearly meant to do something amazing with your life.
😥 man this is really how I feel about my dog Pluto. He past away this year. I had him since I was 15. Didn't care what else happens our pets are always there and let us know its OK. This story makes me love how much my dog mean to me. He is the reason I'm going strong.
Thank you for sharing this traumatic experience. I'm glad you both are physically ok! This shows you what it means to be an American, how strangers in a time of crisis band together to help out to do whatever they can without asking questions. That is what America is all about.
Honestly I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, I’m not a long time sub this is the first video I’ve seen, but during the video I kept relating to different things through out and I realize how lucky I’ve gotten when it comes to making dumb decisions in life. So again I want to say thank you so much
This video has gave me a huge amount of respect for you. Not only did you handle the situation as best as possible but you never gave up on finding your dog like most people would. You have a huge heart and a great view on life. Anyone else would be so eaten by the anger that would come of this but you treat it with respect. Thank you for the story and thank you for the message!
I work as an EMT and sadly enough that’s how a lot of the drunk driving accidents go. So so sad. Also I got super uplifted by your story and how you persevered through the last year. About 3 weeks ago I got some health related news and doctors said I had a clot in my head that stretched from the back of my head almost to the front on the left side. Doctors don’t know why it was there because I hadn’t had anything traumatic happen and they were blown away that I could still function normally. Anyways I had to have brain surgery to remove the clot and now I’m on week 3 of recovery. This video was so well timed because I was feeling bummed tonight because the recovery has taken a step back I feel like. I’m having tingling down the right side of my body and it’s kinda getting me down because of the steps back. Thank you for sharing your story because it kind of reenergized me in a way.
This is my first time seeing this and all I can say is holy shit!! So glad you are ok Ryan and thank god for every one in your town helping you found your dog!!
Being 16 this has really opened my eyes as to why you should not drink and drive I’ve heard it way to many times someone says I’m fine I can drive and that night they go home and get into an accident this video not gunna lie made me shed a tear and very happy to hear you and your dog is okay thank you for the lesson and I’ll remember this one for a long time
I watch all of your videos but rarely comment. Thank you for sharing this with us. Glad you & Gunner are healthy. Best wishes from me, my wife, and my 6lb. pup Harvey Dent.
Just spotted this video after watching a plethora of your other vids. Brother, I'm glad you and your boy are alive and well. Thanks for sharing your story, so many people drink and drive and really never stop to see or hear the consequences of what could happen. Great content in your other builds, always upbeat and smiling. Love your slogan, WORKFORIT! That breaks down to a physical and mental aspect as you well know. Thank you again! Godspeed.
I can't even begin to relate. I watched every minute of this till I heard your dog was okay. You've lived one hell of a life between this and the ranch. But your character and the messages you spread, you're one hell of a man. Much love from the UK ❤️
As a FF/EMT I've been on a good many DUI bad wrecks. I cannot make a value judgment on driver that were drunk on jobs I've been on. I go thru the same thing you do with Flashbacks and PTSD. I'm now retired and still carry the pain.88,000 people are killed yearly in this country because of alcohol/that's all i'll say.....Take care and God Bless
Glad to hear you and gunner are ok and the entire time you was talking about gunner I was getting heavily emotional because you right there’s that bond between a guy and his dog
Glad your here bro. Great vlog, very relatable, great pitch, or message I should say. 100% support my prayers are with you and your family along with the other passengers
this is my first time seeing one of your videos. i know i am late but i am so glad you and your dog are okay! i think that this story needs to be shared to every person in the world to open their eyes on how important it is to be a responsible human being. i also agree with some of the comments i saw saying u should share this to high school students as they are becoming less and less responsible with their actions... this could really open up the eyes of those who choose to listen. God bless you and your family (including gunner), all the first responders, and our military! you are truly an inspiration to me and you are such a great guy.
holy shit man. I usually don't watch these long videos. but this had me hooked. justice was definitely not served. I am so glad you and your dog are okay. your dog had me worried the whole video. your a strong dude. keep your head up man. keep making your great videos.
Thank you for sharing this story...I am a nurse that works in the ICU and I have seen the bad in these situations but anyway...I recently subscribed to your channel and you truly have influenced me to achieve my dreams and I truly want to thank you for touching my life....I hope all is well and take care

You could totally go around to high schools and tell this story
Thomas Johnson THATS A GOOD IDEA For Health science classes
Thomas Johnson
Foreal inspiration also to keep teens aware of real life situations
Thomas Johnson I agree. It’s a miracle he’s alive. I haven’t been through the vide but 2 minutes and I’m very happy he survived that
Being a teenager in HS myself and seeing this video, it definitely would make an impact on us.
Thomas Johnson yes he should about how to drink then not drive and also how to drive responsibly
Remember... we are not promised tomorrow...
Never take ANYTHING for granted..
Very true
Dude you really just made my day, even though it’s night for me. Thx man
Amen
Very true
How the hell did you hold your tears telling the story bro?? I'm over here crying my eyes out cuz I'm a animal person

@@drakesweatman5332 yep
im a big dodge fan dont get me wrong but shout out to Chevy for making good quality vehicles that in turn, ended up saving this man's life
Honestly because even if the truck is lifted and the impact wasn’t right on him sort of if the Chevy has been built cheaply he more then likely wouldn’t have survived through that

Facts 💜❤
Dogs are incredible. They're only around for part of our lives, unfortunately....but we are their whole life.
some states treat dogs like humans,and in the case of a car crash that kills a dog it counts a killing a human so vehicular man slaughter.
every state should have a law like this
Damian Britton-Olson I agree they become family
Definitely needed to hear this being a 16 year old who likes to party and just got a truck. Thank you for this story and lesson.
preston george if you have 4 seats in that truck do yourself a favor and just be the DD (designated driver) for everyone else
I did that with my first car and I made a little cash on the side for taking them home if they had to go home that night
If you get drunk put the keys in the glove box get in the back seat and go to sleep or get. Someone to drive you
Good to take this to 💓, be safe
Aaron Fields or he could get drunk and go to bed
Best thing you can do give your keys to someone sober and say do not give these to no matter what
This accident is proof that trucks are safer than small cars
Jay Spitulski just got a miata.........
I think a miata is cool but hopefully you dont crash
I'm glad you found Gunner. That's a miraculous story.
Trucks are replaceable but your life isn’t. Always remember that. Keep your head up brother

So right my dog i need to know where he at all the time
Amen man
Sir we need more people like you the dog is more Important than the truck and the people who help thanks to all who helped
Just came upon your channel, I’ve been watching Eddie for a while, and thank you for your story. I feel the same about my dog, he’s truly my best friend. I’m so glad you found your dog and your guardian angel was truly by both your sides that night. God bless and thank you for sharing!!!
As soon as you said, “wait a sec, where’s my dog?” I completely lost it. 😩😩😩
When he said " something told me to turn around " ... tear drop. This room is dusty
Glad you and your pup are still around. I know the feeling of loosing your best friend. My chocolate lab Jazmin passed away this month. It's the worst feeling in the world. Coming home and not hearing her tail wagging, walking around and not hearing her foot steps follow me. It's an awkward feeling. Give your pup a hug for still being around.
BRYAN AGUILAR I know the feeling too my dog got ran over 5 months ago I'm still sad
BRYAN AGUILAR I miss coming home from school and having her come up to me and lick my hand and be really excited to see me then then roll over and make me rub her belly for like 5 minutes
i relate to this so hard man. had my dog since he was born all the way up until sophmore/junior year of high school and after he passed it just wasnt the same
I can relate on many levels, I lost both of mine in 2018. One tragically 5 days before his 2nd birthday and the other passed from cancer within a week of diagnosis at 10 years old.
I’m actually happy/sad at the same time that this is the first comment I saw that didn’t credit god to him and his dog being okay. We should give those engineers a pay raise right?
Didn’t think I would watch this whole thing but I did. God bless, glad you both are okay
Brandon Hill same here bro
God Was With You And Send Angel's To Protect You And Form Nothing To Hirt You......GodBless You!!!🙏🙏
Isn't it amazing the guy who helped you out of the truck and stayed with you the whole time til u left for the hospital his name was JESUS,,just saying not preaching
I dont believe, but thats one hell of a sign
No shit, I never even thought about that until now.
And gunner was found at a church !?
holy smoke the dog was at a church and the guy with you was named Jesus... I am a believer but that like wow that's more proof that there is someone watching over us
@@184_EngineCo cmon man, if someone was really watching over us, wouldnt you think they would do something to prevent the event in the 1st place? these were just coincidences and thanks to the engineers that designed the car.
watched every second, great video. glad you're okay, as well as gunner. love from texas my friend. god bless you and keep you safe
Blessed man... God definitely has a plan for you..🤙🏽
This video impacted me in a very different way. I’m glad you and your dog were okay. Thank you for the videos, and sharing your story. You motivate me more than you will ever know!
I don’t know if you are a Christian or anything but I am and I am telling you God was with you that day God Bless you
Agreed man^^^
Absolutely
Definitely. 🙏🏽
Facts
Very cool, Garrison. God bless.
Justice was definitely not served. I’m glad to hear you and Gunner are okay. Finding him by a church was not luck but more of a sign. You truly were blessed that night and we are all here for you!
Holy crap man I'm 15 right now and me 6 other people were in a crazy car accident and the driver wasn't drinking or anything but all the passengers were we fortunately hit a tree in a corner at 70mph all of us had broken backs broken noses everything god was with me and my friends that night I will never forget January 3rd 2019. For anyone that reads this u are not promised another day so please dont take things for granted I'm glad u are okay bro, just watching this reminded me of that night that I will never forget and I dont think u will forget you're night either
This video emotionally overwhelmed me, bless your heart and your sweet boy gunner! You were protected that night, either by your truck and maybe something else bro, just bless you. 💜🤙🏻
Not gonna lie that put a tear in my eye.
Damn dude, you are going to hear this a million times BUT I am glad you both are OK. Thank you very much for sharing your story with us.
I can Vouch With You On This About Wearing Your Seat belt, That Saved My life When I Fell Asleep And Rolled My truck About 4 or 5 Times. I did not have a scratch on me since i was asleep but if it wasnt for my seat belt id be six feet under. Aside from that if anyone is a dog owner and sees their dog as a family member then this story will probably have you tearing up cuz i know i was ! Glad you and Gunner Are Safe & Sound Man!
Dude this video speaks volumes especially being it's a true story about things that really happened man. And honestly I want to say that you for supporting all the first responders.
This hit close to home brotha. 92 , lifted 85 toyota show truck , triple roll bars. Got off edge of paved road and when we pulled back on the right rear was spinning much faster than the truck. It launched the truck up on 2 wheels. Looked over at my passenger who had no seat belt on. Yelled put your seat belt on NOW! . I drove nearly 1/8th mile on 2 wheels and set it back down safely or so I thought. Suddenly the right rear blew off the bead and instantly we turned sideways at 55mph. 8 hard barrel rolls . Barely a scratch but we survived. Sadly tradgedy hit me much earlier though March 04, 1988 changing my life forever. My family and I were hit head on by guy on meth on I-10 westbound. Mother killed instantly, sister died but was resuscitated, father ejected nearly died and I was battered and bruised. Never know what life throws at ya .Glad you are ok my friend . Much love & respect. 😎👊🏼
That's classic PTSD. Get some counseling, it helps. Trust me. Glad you're ok man and Gunnar also. I'm retired FDNY and have been in counseling on and off for 17 years. Don't be afraid to seek help. It's why people are there doing that for a living.
Good luck man.
Agreed! My husband is a first responder as well and they have therapies for helping with trauma that both he and I have benefitted from.
Ryan, I have been watching your channel for a little over a year and this video came up in my feed today from 4 years ago. Wow man. Glad you and the dog were ok in the end. I am a big advocate against drinking and driving as a volunteer firefighter. You brought me to tears with this video as I have had to pull lifeless bodies out of wreckage many times. It sticks no matter what we tell you. God bless bud.
Happy you’re okay bro! Been following you and they guys for a while and I am a GM man through and through! Bow ties till we die! Love on to you and gunner!!
I think you should do a shirt and maybe donate the proceeds to the two ladies company so that they can continue to help people in this situation. Just a suggestion. My dads a first responder and it really makes me happy to see your support for these men and women who don’t always get recognition for the things that they do.
I agree make something I’ll buy it.
I watched through the whole thing and you really put me in the situation. I am glad both you and your dog are doing good!
Man I am glad that your okay! I know it has been over 2 years but I am glad your here today. God is really your buddy. I love your videos and if you weren't here today, I would be sad. God bless you.
You're amazingly well spoken man. This story had me on the edge of my seat, and on the edge of tears. Your bond with your dog, as well as the rest your family is obviously incredibly strong. Sometimes insane and terrible things bring out the best in each of us. I hope you are well and enjoying time with your loved ones. Bless
That drunk driver should've got a worse punishment than that. Here in Texas, he would've gotten 5 to 10 years in jail. Hopefully he won't kill anybody else. God was with you and gunner that night and he kept you two safe.
Joe Meier if anyone was killed in Texas he would’ve gotten life it’s manslaughter
Joe Meier facts
This makes me like Chevrolet even more
Dodge chevy Ford Toyota...all have the same mass closely enough where would have had no effect
@@rekklesscc9204 lol not even close to same mass
AW Videos
I am a Ford guy by a lot but I feel the same way.
@@rekklesscc9204 Ford is made out of aluminium
@@meowfaceification they should sponsor him
this was very well worth watching, tomorrow is never promised. happy to hear you and gunner and doing well.
New subscriber to your channel man, Iv seen a bunch of your videos! great stuff...
I seen this one and man oh, man man! The minute you brought up alcohol.... I knew! I just effen knew!
You took me back to the night my coworker and friend was killed durning the night shift where we use to work, also by a drunk driver😔 no jail time for him, got away clean! Justice wasn’t made for our friend.
I hope this video reaches out more people! super serious stuff man!
Thanks for posting this video 🙏🏽.
Man these 46 min went away really fast I’m just happy that ur ok and ur dog to man
Wow man I just saw this video in my recommended so this is my first time watching you and I feel you man.
My heart was touched... I know that it's been a year since u posted this but this is the first vid I've seen of urs and God bless u and ur dog bc u were very lucky... I will continue to watch ur vids and give love and support
You can’t delete PTSD out of your memory.. I wish I could, but there are groups and online councillors that will help you deal with it :)
Dude this video is powerful. It was well worth staying up and now being tired for work in the morning.
so many variables that went perfectly that night. if that driver would’ve hit your tailgate, your dog might not have made it. you had your seatbelt on when you usually dont. literally everything went so right for you. that’s a miracle. that’s definitely god working. so glad you’re okay
This has been in my feed for like a year, I finally watched it, glad I did.
I’m so glad you made it out alive literally you just popped on my recommended and I never would of thought this would teach me a life lesson god bless you
Thank god you’re safe today
Hey man this has probably been said a thousand times but God was watching you that night and he has a plan for you man. Glad you and gunner are still with us man.
Quality video, very well worded. So thankful you and your dog pulled through, I really felt your pain there. My own Silverado got wrecked a few months back so I know the feeling of loss that goes with something like this. Really incredible that you walked away from it, I give huge props to Chevy as well, I feel so good to be driving another Silverado knowing me and my passenger walked away from my accident, and that you walked away from yours being as horrific as it was. Keep the content coming bro, you're clearly meant to do something amazing with your life.
😥 man this is really how I feel about my dog Pluto. He past away this year. I had him since I was 15. Didn't care what else happens our pets are always there and let us know its OK. This story makes me love how much my dog mean to me. He is the reason I'm going strong.
I remember seeing this on the news. Glad you were OK and that you found your pup.
Thank you for sharing this traumatic experience. I'm glad you both are physically ok!
This shows you what it means to be an American, how strangers in a time of crisis band together to help out to do whatever they can without asking questions. That is what America is all about.
Honestly I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, I’m not a long time sub this is the first video I’ve seen, but during the video I kept relating to different things through out and I realize how lucky I’ve gotten when it comes to making dumb decisions in life. So again I want to say thank you so much
This video has gave me a huge amount of respect for you. Not only did you handle the situation as best as possible but you never gave up on finding your dog like most people would. You have a huge heart and a great view on life. Anyone else would be so eaten by the anger that would come of this but you treat it with respect. Thank you for the story and thank you for the message!
I couldn't handle it wondering what happened to the pup, had to read through the comments, the suspense was killing me.
Nick Simerson same here
Nick Simerson I drive completely different with my pup in the car then I do with my self
Nick Simerson I thought about it but I stuck on the video
@@dill5500 same here man
Yep me too!!! After Ryan said he was ok I was worried about gunner
I work as an EMT and sadly enough that’s how a lot of the drunk driving accidents go. So so sad. Also I got super uplifted by your story and how you persevered through the last year. About 3 weeks ago I got some health related news and doctors said I had a clot in my head that stretched from the back of my head almost to the front on the left side. Doctors don’t know why it was there because I hadn’t had anything traumatic happen and they were blown away that I could still function normally. Anyways I had to have brain surgery to remove the clot and now I’m on week 3 of recovery. This video was so well timed because I was feeling bummed tonight because the recovery has taken a step back I feel like. I’m having tingling down the right side of my body and it’s kinda getting me down because of the steps back. Thank you for sharing your story because it kind of reenergized me in a way.
Future Firefighter hope you get better soon , from Texas
Slade Burks thanks from Oklahoma!
This is my first time seeing this and all I can say is holy shit!! So glad you are ok Ryan and thank god for every one in your town helping you found your dog!!
Wish I could like this video infinite times
It was a tear jerker
I’m thankful you and you dog are alive
Love the vids
Being 16 this has really opened my eyes as to why you should not drink and drive I’ve heard it way to many times someone says I’m fine I can drive and that night they go home and get into an accident this video not gunna lie made me shed a tear and very happy to hear you and your dog is okay thank you for the lesson and I’ll remember this one for a long time
Joshua Uba same bubba it makes me think that life is more then we think it is
I watch all of your videos but rarely comment. Thank you for sharing this with us. Glad you & Gunner are healthy. Best wishes from me, my wife, and my 6lb. pup Harvey Dent.
Just spotted this video after watching a plethora of your other vids. Brother, I'm glad you and your boy are alive and well. Thanks for sharing your story, so many people drink and drive and really never stop to see or hear the consequences of what could happen. Great content in your other builds, always upbeat and smiling. Love your slogan, WORKFORIT! That breaks down to a physical and mental aspect as you well know. Thank you again! Godspeed.
I can't even begin to relate. I watched every minute of this till I heard your dog was okay. You've lived one hell of a life between this and the ranch. But your character and the messages you spread, you're one hell of a man. Much love from the UK ❤️
As a FF/EMT I've been on a good many DUI bad wrecks. I cannot make a value judgment on driver that were drunk on jobs I've been on. I go thru the same thing you do with Flashbacks and PTSD. I'm now retired and still carry the pain.88,000 people are killed yearly in this country because of alcohol/that's all i'll say.....Take care and God Bless
Glad to hear you and gunner are ok and the entire time you was talking about gunner I was getting heavily emotional because you right there’s that bond between a guy and his dog
Glad your here bro. Great vlog, very relatable, great pitch, or message I should say. 100% support my prayers are with you and your family along with the other passengers
this is my first time seeing one of your videos. i know i am late but i am so glad you and your dog are okay! i think that this story needs to be shared to every person in the world to open their eyes on how important it is to be a responsible human being. i also agree with some of the comments i saw saying u should share this to high school students as they are becoming less and less responsible with their actions... this could really open up the eyes of those who choose to listen. God bless you and your family (including gunner), all the first responders, and our military! you are truly an inspiration to me and you are such a great guy.
Watched every single second, thank god you safe, take it easy man
holy shit man. I usually don't watch these long videos. but this had me hooked. justice was definitely not served. I am so glad you and your dog are okay. your dog had me worried the whole video. your a strong dude. keep your head up man. keep making your great videos.
Thank you for sharing this story...I am a nurse that works in the ICU and I have seen the bad in these situations but anyway...I recently subscribed to your channel and you truly have influenced me to achieve my dreams and I truly want to thank you for touching my life....I hope all is well and take care
Man when you said at the beginning of the video that your dog was in the back chills went down my spine
