@@valerielawhon9628 I have 4 brown cats, I did have another calico with brown on him but he got put down due to cancer :( they are rare unless they are tabby cats but mine are rescues (some of them from young kittens) and while we are on that subject I also have a very rare cat that I saved from someone's she'd when she was 5 weeks old and she was pure light grey with blonde spots and a stripe on her head
The Hippocratic oath is when doctors swear to do no harm, HIPAA is the health insurance portability and protection act which mandates protection of private health information (PHI)
I'm a dog trainer in training (weird I know) but I've trained over 5 show dogs. The reason Bear knows which floor to get off is your body language. Even if you aren't aware, your body makes adjustments and prepares to leave the elevator before the doors even open. Those slight things are indications for Bear to prepare for command (moving, walking, sitting, ect.) Your dog is very intuitive to you. It's actually a sign that he's constantly waiting for your cues.
9:47 I have friends who had a cat. It would come through the back door of their house, then go straight to the front door and scratch and meow until they let it out. They called it "Front World" and "Back World". There was no restriction between the two worlds once outside.
Bear probably can tell what the right floor is by smell. Dogs sense of smell is so good they can tell time with it, by tracking the dissipation of scents in their environment. I'd imagine every floor smells slightly different to a dog, because they smell so much more than we do.
That's just how it is with long coat dogs. Throwing it on the ground means stepping on it 2 minutes later. Throwing it behind the couch or bed's headboard is less likely to immediately backfire. I do it all the time. The vacuum doesn't care but my socks do.
When I got my dog from a rescue they let me “foster” her for a week before officially adopting her , which definitely let me see how much of an adjustment I would have to make in my life to add her into my daily routines that I had established before finding her.
I definitely think this is the best option! I volunteer at an animal shelter and we offer a "foster to adopt" program where you foster for a short period of time so you can get to know the dog and make sure they are a right fit before officially adopting them.
That's not a bad thing really..I often thought about getting a dog but what if i can't handle them?It would be good to have a tryout week or something and if all is fine and dandy then adopt for real,if not then sadly back to the pound.
I would like a "Day in the Life as Dr. Mike's Dog." I will not mind if it's a 16 minute video where 12 minutes is of him lying around, 3 minutes of him eating, and 1 minute of him playing fetch. All content is good content.
All of my rescues picked me. I went to the shelter and they sought me out. I know, it sounds weird, but that's how I knew. My recent cat, Khoshekh, was literally pawing at his container, wailing at me. Volunteer unlocked his crate and he immediately went right into my arms and purred. No struggle, no nothin'. It was like he knew I was his person.
Aww. Sounds like when I adopted my Katzchen. Wasn't looking to adopt as I was still grieving the loss of a kitty from two years prior, but I had to bring her home after she jumped into my arms to groom herself, then me, before falling asleep.
The fact that Bear can give Dr. Mike a high five without expecting a reward, meanwhile I give my dogs a high five and they won't stand more than 3 feet away from me till I give them a treat 😂
bear HAS to have a cat friend that looks similar to him , a brown cat and a brown dog are the key to happiness not only is bear going to be happy youre gonna be happy too :)
As someone who's had shelter dogs her entire life: A lot of good shelters and organizations will be happy to work with you in searching your next companion. I reach out to them, explain my situation and what I'm looking for in a dog (before I even go and see the dogs they have!) and then they will either suggest a dog who will match with what I've described or not. A lot of organizations also work with foster families and they can provide an even greater in-depth picture of their dog's personality. When you get a puppy from a breeder; even the best breeders in the world; you also wouldn't know what their personalities will be like, right? With shelter dogs, you will already get somewhat of an estimation like wether or not they are friendly with other dogs or if they have separation anxiety or if they have medical issues, etc. I would strongly advise everyone N O T to go and check out the dogs in their kennels beforehand. I really wouldn't. Why? Because it is a stressful environment for these dogs and they will absolutely not be acting the way they truly are. (Edit: Loudly barking dogs are likely just stressed out and so don't give a good first impression and are therefore not given a fair chance! After all, how many of you have fantastic family dogs who also bark at complete strangers approaching their territory when they're by themselves...?) Best to find a match by talking to the staff and ask if you can meet the dog in a separate room; as most shelters do have that option.
It depends on the dog. Once we went with my parents to adopt their dog, and we walked down the aisle of kennels. Every dog was loud and barking and moving around. Except one. My parents passed her up at first, but there was this one beagle just standing there calm as could be. So I told them hey check this out, a beagle who is calm with all this chaos going on??? We all know hounds like to bark and bay, but she just wasn’t, so I said maybe we should think about this one. We got the shelter staff to let us take her to the meeting room, and she hopped up on my sisters lap as if she said “I choose you guys. Let’s go!” So we adopted her and she was definitely the same calm dog her whole life. She even would walk past a bunch of dogs that would bark crazy at her and not even be bothered by it. Chilliest dog I’ve ever seen.
Yeah, but some people want a specific dog breed with a specific coat colour at a much younger age. Foster dogs definitely can't match up to that in those categories, that's why I get mine from a breeder
@@jamieever4046 Sure and that is a valid point and good, responsible breeders are an option for those people. (Though don't let coat colour determine your choice.) But it is worth knowing that purebred dogs do end up at shelters and that unwanted litters happen all the time. It if factually false to think that only old mutts end up at shelters. Every single dog breed also has a rehoming group somewhere (often online, too) which is worth reaching out to if you are indeed set on a specific breed of dog.
I have a rescue from Romania - he is such a cool, chill guy! I never want to buy from a breeder, there are just so many amazing dogs that need a home. One exception is my second dog, I got her from a farm after their dog accidentally got pregnant - so it was not intentional and I figured that is alright. I have to say that my rescue has a much more grateful personality, though. You can really feel the difference. I love both of them, but my rescue will always have an extra special place in my heart, especially knowing what he's been through.
To add to this: My personal preference has always been to skip the puppy-phase. While pups are cute; anyone who's ever had one knows how much work it is to take care of one. That is why, for my home situation, I like to get a dog who's already gone past that stage and with whom I can start working immediately and can already take out on very long walks; something you wouldn't be able to do with a pup. My grandparents, for instance, are too old to get a pup. They just want a nice dog they can pet whilst watching TV and go for walks around the block with. So for them, too, a slightly older dog is absolutely ideal.
that's actually because big dogs were seen as dangerous and bread to be docile and easily trainable. Little dogs however were really only bread for looks since no one really saw them as a threat, so they are mostly more like wild dogs at heart.
I agree. Cats are amazing. I’ve had much better luck with male cats than female cats. Truly brown cats are very rare but they do exist! Otherwise most black cats are actually brown in the sunlight! ❤️ Siberian, ragdoll, or York chocolate will probably look most like bear!
Tip: Ask to have a meet and greet with the dog. They’ll take you to a small caged area where you can get to know the dog and play with them. If you don’t think the dog fits your interests you can always ask to see another dog. This also applies to cats(at least where I live).
Congratulations on your new fur baby. He's adorable. Glad Bear gets along with Rib. I hope you have a good vacuum cleaner to pick up all that extra hair.
In terms of finding a rescue dog that suits your personality, honestly, you might be searching for a while, lol. I've had two rescue dogs separately, neither of them match my personality, and both are complete opposites of each other personality wise. I loved them both to death, they were unique in their own ways. The key is meeting the dog and seeing how they act and respond to you.
Another major thing I would suggest when looking to adopt is adopt a dog that's part of a rescue and lived with a foster for a number of months instead of from a shelter/kennel. My family adopted a rescue a year ago and she lived with a foster for almost a year (she gave birth to puppies and was raising them before being available for adoption). Because of this, the foster could tell potential adopters exactly what the dog's personality is like. Their quirks, if they like cuddling or if they're independent and good with dogs or kids etc
4:10 if you do get a cat, for Bear compatibility would be Siberian forest cats which are highly intelligent, have low dander quality (allergens are which can trigger are smaller with this breed) has a competitive fur coat (moulting happens twice a year) and according to pet food purveyor Purina's assessment: "Siberian cats have gentle, loving nature and well rounded personality. They adore children, -readily accept the other household pets - and get along great with the whole family. Giving them the ability to blend in and adapt to almost any family situation. Siberians have a DOG-like devotion and personality.' Sounds like a close match to me. Other breeds to consider are: * Norwegian forest cats (sweet, big, intelligent & hairy, they can be susceptible to heart & kidney diseases. These were so OG they were companions to Vikings and were enmeshed in folklore, two humongous ones pulling the Norse goddess of love Freya's chariot.) *Maine Coons (comes in a variety of colors, intelligent, looks intimidating, but are huge cuddly sweethearts, referred to commonly as gentle giants) *Turkish Angora ( there's a chocolate brown variety, they're remarkably intelligent, playful, good natured) When in doubt or just want to adopt not shop, a black cat should be considered (in spite of stigmas associated with them), as the preference for a possible brown cat expressed at 4:14 is inherent because most black cats are genetically tortoiseshell or mottled coats in disguise due to gene expression turning the coat visually black (Bombays are bred specifically to push only this gene expression). This also happens with big cats too, like panthers ( the Americas version is a black jaguar, whereas elsewhere, they're black leopards. You can tell which is which by their patterns, rosettes for jaguars, spots for leopards).
My dog Buddy (passed a couple years ago) had the same attitude as Bear. We ended up calling him a watermelon because he was just so mello and sweet. I think it's cause he felt safe and secure. Of course he also always loved to bark and howl when he got the chance to be "tough" 😂❤️ lots of love to Bear ❤️
When my parent's dog Tiny was alive (also a Newfie!) I used to tale naps as a toddler with my face buried in her fur. She'd lay on her side and wait for me to wake up so she could move 😂
I know for my family and I, when it comes to looking for rescue animals, we don't really go out actively looking for them- they seem to find us. Somehow when we have a space to fill in our house(or maybe need to make a space we didn't know we had), there's been a dog or cat looking for a home. And what's wonderful about rescue animals is that they are just so grateful to have a home, that they have always made the most loving pets. Sometimes they have problems because of past abuse or not being trained well as a puppy, but you get to work on it together and bond with them in the process. Plus you grow as a person too. So in my case it has been a total win-win. 😊
Bear is just to cute to be that big and well trained. A dog that’s heavier than me with perfect puppy eyes and the ability to just chill on your lap is perfect.
If Bear were any cuter I think I would die! I want to just lay down with him and snuggle into all that massive amount of fur. You know he's just so warm and cuddly!
The second you made the wiener dog joke mixed in with cardiomyopathy, You solidified my most affection and admiration for you. You’re the best, Dr. Mike. Absolutely adorable
7:33 fun fact- this is actually a service that takes- I can’t remember if it’s foster pets or pets in training or specifically goldens- but they pick them up in a bus at the home and they go to the beach for a day!!
Whether you get a bear cat or another dog, I'm just glad they'll get a loving home. It always makes me sad to think of how many animals there are without them. We recently took in a dog who was left behind by his owners. He's been too nervous to do anything but lay on his bed whenever he's not outside, but he's finally starting to move around. We're still trying to get him to not slump down and become non-reactive whenever we put a leash on him, but the progress we've made so far is encouraging.
9:50 I'm pretty sure dogs are able to sense the elevator car accelerate up/down, and thus understand the tiny room is just moving them from one spot to another in the same general area.
I love bear! He is so cute. And honestly, dogs help a lot when it comes to anxiety and stress. They can calm you down right away and you can tell them anything without fear of being judged. I love dogs so much. They truly are angels without wings
Dr. Mike, I know you’re not going to read this but I just need to tell you. I’m a 13 year old girl and I’ve wanted to be a vet since I was like 2. Ever since I’ve started watching your videos I’ve been inspired to continue to pursue my dream! I even debate sometimes becoming a people doctor instead. All I wanted to say is thank you! Keep being yourself because you because you inspire me and continue to do so. Have a great day!
i wanna be a people doctor too, a surgeon actually, im 15 and hope to become one of the best as well :) I hope it works out for you and that you can continue to pursue your dream. just study hard and youll do great!
I've been watching Dr.Mike since I was your age and I got inspired by him too, I'm going to my first year in med school next year! keep working hard and you'll do great!!!
That dog throwing up things also works for cats. I am a heavy sleeper, but any animal throwing up just snaps me back into reality and making sure they're not throwing up on the bed lol
My dogs tends to hide away if she's throwing up but I'm with you know the instant alarm thing. In the 5 seconds it takes my brain to confirm she's throwing up I'm out the bed and by her side 3 secs in🤣
With the cats oh yeah big time. Worse when you have several cats puking at the same time in different places and no matter what in the morning you always find a missing one by stepping in it. or when 2 cats fight for 'territory' on the bed with you sleeping on the bed. Let's just say the cats do nicely 'flying' off of the bed by which i mean i push them off the bed onto the floor to fight.
my dog doesn't eat the furniture, but we have never had a crate for her. We installed a gate on any room without a door, and when we're out or sleeping we would close all the rooms off except the landing. Slowly we would open the rooms up and she knew not to destroy stuff.
I'm a groomer and these were hysterical! You should check out Jaunceydev if you havent seen any of his videos. He acts like different dog breeds. Hes always spot on too. Also the one dog was a Borzoi.
Most of my friends don’t love dogs (or animals in general) like I do, so watching my comfort doctor react and being so cute and funny with these memes it really makes my day Thank you Dr Mike 🥹✨
Fun fact: If you rewatch the scene, one of the first things Jack tried to do was get on with her, and it started sinking, so he got off. It literally could not hold more than her. MAYBE a small child or early teen, but definitely not a full grown adult.
It had enough space for both of them and despite looking like it's going to tip/sink it'd stabilize once Jack was fully on board. Its been tested that a thing of wood with that size would've had enough buoyancy to float both of them if they put Rose's lifejacket underneath it. But people don't think straight in high stress life or death situations. Thats the only reason he had to die.
My grandmother raised dachshunds for 30 years. She had both standard and miniature breeds. So I grew up with so many of them. We had a pack of 26 puppies at one time. They were born within a week of each other. We lived on 110 acres, so We had plenty of space for them. I miss those days.. being tackled by 20+ Weiner dogs.
Hey Doctor Mike I have had three rescue dogs so far in my life. What you need to know is the situation that that dog has been through if you can. When you meet them in the shelter take Bear along with you to see how the dogs react, and remember all dogs can change. I have a dog that lived outside its entire life, but when I showed her love she did too.

apparently i did too because i've never even heard of a borzoi. i thought that was an afghan hound.
@@dietotakusimilar to an afghan but it's actually closer to a Russian wolfhound
lets get Bear a cat
The nicest phrase mentioning dogs I read some time ago and immediately loved it: Be the person your dog thinks you are!
Correction: be the person your dog knows you can be
The fact that Mike and Bear are technically namesakes in Russian is adorable
Bear is so big but is bark was so quiet and gentle

огоо, я русская, моего папу зовут Миша, но сама до твоей мысли я не додумалась😯

Bear=BIG TEDDY BEAR
That's why
Bear is one of if not the calmest big dogs I’ve ever seen. Always surprises me that the big dogs are calm and the little ones are yappy.
Little dogs have a napoleon complex
that's actually because big dogs were seen as dangerous and bread to be docile and easily trainable. Little dogs however were really only bread for looks since no one really saw them as a threat, so they are mostly more like wild dogs at heart.

Classifying a corgi as a chill dog is the most hilarious part of this video.
Honestly I think we need a cat version of Bear
I agree. Cats are amazing. I’ve had much better luck with male cats than female cats. Truly brown cats are very rare but they do exist! Otherwise most black cats are actually brown in the sunlight! ❤️ Siberian, ragdoll, or York chocolate will probably look most like bear!
Bear and care

Maine coons?! Lol

Bruh💀
Nice
Tip: Ask to have a meet and greet with the dog. They’ll take you to a small caged area where you can get to know the dog and play with them. If you don’t think the dog fits your interests you can always ask to see another dog. This also applies to cats(at least where I live).

Congratulations on your new fur baby. He's adorable. Glad Bear gets along with Rib. I hope you have a good vacuum cleaner to pick up all that extra hair.
His face when he heard Bear throwing up as his eyes were wide and mouth was open to just relaxed eyes and closed mouth. 😂😊❤

03:33 meanwhile me about to take another bite of my muffin 💀
In terms of finding a rescue dog that suits your personality, honestly, you might be searching for a while, lol. I've had two rescue dogs separately, neither of them match my personality, and both are complete opposites of each other personality wise. I loved them both to death, they were unique in their own ways. The key is meeting the dog and seeing how they act and respond to you.
this!!
Also, request a health check before adopting! I didn't and it was really hard to get medical help for my dog after.
Another major thing I would suggest when looking to adopt is adopt a dog that's part of a rescue and lived with a foster for a number of months instead of from a shelter/kennel.
My family adopted a rescue a year ago and she lived with a foster for almost a year (she gave birth to puppies and was raising them before being available for adoption). Because of this, the foster could tell potential adopters exactly what the dog's personality is like. Their quirks, if they like cuddling or if they're independent and good with dogs or kids etc
4:10 if you do get a cat, for Bear compatibility would be Siberian forest cats which are highly intelligent, have low dander quality (allergens are which can trigger are smaller with this breed) has a competitive fur coat (moulting happens twice a year) and according to pet food purveyor Purina's assessment:
"Siberian cats have gentle, loving nature and well rounded personality. They adore children, -readily accept the other household pets - and get along great with the whole family. Giving them the ability to blend in and adapt to almost any family situation. Siberians have a DOG-like devotion and personality.'
Sounds like a close match to me.
Other breeds to consider are:
* Norwegian forest cats (sweet, big, intelligent & hairy, they can be susceptible to heart & kidney diseases. These were so OG they were companions to Vikings and were enmeshed in folklore, two humongous ones pulling the Norse goddess of love Freya's chariot.)
*Maine Coons (comes in a variety of colors, intelligent, looks intimidating, but are huge cuddly sweethearts, referred to commonly as gentle giants)
*Turkish Angora ( there's a chocolate brown variety, they're remarkably intelligent, playful, good natured)
When in doubt or just want to adopt not shop, a black cat should be considered (in spite of stigmas associated with them), as the preference for a possible brown cat expressed at 4:14 is inherent because most black cats are genetically tortoiseshell or mottled coats in disguise due to gene expression turning the coat visually black (Bombays are bred specifically to push only this gene expression).
This also happens with big cats too, like panthers ( the Americas version is a black jaguar, whereas elsewhere, they're black leopards. You can tell which is which by their patterns, rosettes for jaguars, spots for leopards).
Such a good chill dog. Love you Bear!

“Do they make brown cats?”
Both captions: Yes… and also No.
Had a Newfie many years ago. Loved him so much. Such a great dog, and a best friend. I will never forget him.
3:22 Mike hyping bear about the chihuahua muffin made my day 😂😂❤
You are such a good dog owner! Bare is always so calm around you. I know the stress sighns of a dog and he shown ZERO from what I saw ❤❤❤❤
Mike shouting muffins are bad for you: You don't know how much cholesterol and fat there is in muffins!
Me about to get a muffin rn:
second thoughts?? 🤔
Lol
I would just get the muffin anyway
I like to make homemade muffins with something healthy in them.
*It's always a good day when Bear 🐻 makes an cameo* 😁😁😁
especially for the whole video!! :D
My dog Buddy (passed a couple years ago) had the same attitude as Bear. We ended up calling him a watermelon because he was just so mello and sweet. I think it's cause he felt safe and secure. Of course he also always loved to bark and howl when he got the chance to be "tough" 😂❤️ lots of love to Bear ❤️
I have two crazy adhd phycopath cats scarlet and king

Dr. Mike has such strong dad energy.
Perfect! A break from medical and more memes is perfect! Especially with bear!

I have the urge to just bury my face in Bear’s fur and hug him
Frankly, I’m allergic to dogs, but it’s the small price I can and *will* pay for love -

That's the best part of having big dogs. I literally can't live without them
Get toy poodle there hypoallergenic(allergy free poodle) and they are super small (3 inches to 7 inches so there great!!!!
When my parent's dog Tiny was alive (also a Newfie!) I used to tale naps as a toddler with my face buried in her fur. She'd lay on her side and wait for me to wake up so she could move 😂
@@nicoleb695 Well, looks like the tables have turned between you and your dog.
I know for my family and I, when it comes to looking for rescue animals, we don't really go out actively looking for them- they seem to find us. Somehow when we have a space to fill in our house(or maybe need to make a space we didn't know we had), there's been a dog or cat looking for a home. And what's wonderful about rescue animals is that they are just so grateful to have a home, that they have always made the most loving pets. Sometimes they have problems because of past abuse or not being trained well as a puppy, but you get to work on it together and bond with them in the process. Plus you grow as a person too. So in my case it has been a total win-win. 😊
Bear is just to cute to be that big and well trained. A dog that’s heavier than me with perfect puppy eyes and the ability to just chill on your lap is perfect.
If Bear were any cuter I think I would die! I want to just lay down with him and snuggle into all that massive amount of fur. You know he's just so warm and cuddly!
The second you made the wiener dog joke mixed in with cardiomyopathy, You solidified my most affection and admiration for you. You’re the best, Dr. Mike. Absolutely adorable
Omg i thought it was just me HAHAHAH
Funny how often Dr Mike picks something out of Bear's fur and throws it behind the couch
Bear is just a gentle giant, such a good boy 🥰

I love Bear’s little front mohawk fur on top of his head. So adorable! I would never get work done if Bear was around.
7:33 fun fact- this is actually a service that takes- I can’t remember if it’s foster pets or pets in training or specifically goldens- but they pick them up in a bus at the home and they go to the beach for a day!!
6:34 I wish this was the case with my dog. 😅 she is OBSESSED with her damn ball!
Whether you get a bear cat or another dog, I'm just glad they'll get a loving home. It always makes me sad to think of how many animals there are without them. We recently took in a dog who was left behind by his owners. He's been too nervous to do anything but lay on his bed whenever he's not outside, but he's finally starting to move around. We're still trying to get him to not slump down and become non-reactive whenever we put a leash on him, but the progress we've made so far is encouraging.
9:50 I'm pretty sure dogs are able to sense the elevator car accelerate up/down, and thus understand the tiny room is just moving them from one spot to another in the same general area.
Mike and Bear bonding moments are just the cutest thing ever.
I love seeing Bear! He is such a Good Doggo. ❤
I love bear! He is so cute. And honestly, dogs help a lot when it comes to anxiety and stress. They can calm you down right away and you can tell them anything without fear of being judged. I love dogs so much. They truly are angels without wings
I love how mike just turns into a child whenever bear is around
Dr. Mike, I know you’re not going to read this but I just need to tell you. I’m a 13 year old girl and I’ve wanted to be a vet since I was like 2. Ever since I’ve started watching your videos I’ve been inspired to continue to pursue my dream! I even debate sometimes becoming a people doctor instead. All I wanted to say is thank you! Keep being yourself because you because you inspire me and continue to do so. Have a great day!
i wanna be a people doctor too, a surgeon actually, im 15 and hope to become one of the best as well :) I hope it works out for you and that you can continue to pursue your dream. just study hard and youll do great!
AUSUM!!!!!!
Same her i wanna be a vet❤❤
I've been watching Dr.Mike since I was your age and I got inspired by him too, I'm going to my first year in med school next year! keep working hard and you'll do great!!!
@DoctorMike
That has got to be the most laid back dog I’ve ever seen !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike: let’s react to some dog memes and just have a good time with it, also Mike: finds slightest medical thing and says okay let me break this down🤣
That dog throwing up things also works for cats. I am a heavy sleeper, but any animal throwing up just snaps me back into reality and making sure they're not throwing up on the bed lol
My dogs tends to hide away if she's throwing up but I'm with you know the instant alarm thing. In the 5 seconds it takes my brain to confirm she's throwing up I'm out the bed and by her side 3 secs in🤣
Personally I just set my alarm for Death's cover of Painkiller (Judas Priest). Always gets me up
With the cats oh yeah big time. Worse when you have several cats puking at the same time in different places and no matter what in the morning you always find a missing one by stepping in it. or when 2 cats fight for 'territory' on the bed with you sleeping on the bed. Let's just say the cats do nicely 'flying' off of the bed by which i mean i push them off the bed onto the floor to fight.
Or the squirts of diarrhea...
For real. I can be passed out drunk, if I Hear my Cat heaving, I'm up
*1:30* *nostalgia hit so hard*
because it's been several years of watch doctor mike
my dog doesn't eat the furniture, but we have never had a crate for her. We installed a gate on any room without a door, and when we're out or sleeping we would close all the rooms off except the landing. Slowly we would open the rooms up and she knew not to destroy stuff.
4:09 as a cat person, i can say that i've never clicked a like button faster
I will join you on this crusade
I actually have a cat named Bear
He's a very lovey cat & very smart
Also very chill
But, is he brown?
4:40 Also, most kids they want to sleep. Once they go inside the room to sleep, they want to play outside. 😂😂
Exactly. I always say "My ESA dog needs an ESA dog" The separation anxiety in her is FR.
When you said « stick », my dog looked up at me, ears up and ready to go 😂! Proud dog mama of Hera the Malinois here🐕
I'm a groomer and these were hysterical! You should check out Jaunceydev if you havent seen any of his videos. He acts like different dog breeds. Hes always spot on too. Also the one dog was a Borzoi.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I love those vids as well!
@@spinynrmn7121 My favorite is when he acts like a robber and all of the different breeds when they break in 🤣
Most of my friends don’t love dogs (or animals in general) like I do, so watching my comfort doctor react and being so cute and funny with these memes it really makes my day
Thank you Dr Mike 🥹✨
Make new friends 😂

Fun fact: If you rewatch the scene, one of the first things Jack tried to do was get on with her, and it started sinking, so he got off. It literally could not hold more than her. MAYBE a small child or early teen, but definitely not a full grown adult.
It had enough space for both of them and despite looking like it's going to tip/sink it'd stabilize once Jack was fully on board.
Its been tested that a thing of wood with that size would've had enough buoyancy to float both of them if they put Rose's lifejacket underneath it.
But people don't think straight in high stress life or death situations. Thats the only reason he had to die.
My grandmother raised dachshunds for 30 years. She had both standard and miniature breeds. So I grew up with so many of them. We had a pack of 26 puppies at one time. They were born within a week of each other. We lived on 110 acres, so We had plenty of space for them. I miss those days.. being tackled by 20+ Weiner dogs.
Hey Doctor Mike I have had three rescue dogs so far in my life. What you need to know is the situation that that dog has been through if you can. When you meet them in the shelter take Bear along with you to see how the dogs react, and remember all dogs can change. I have a dog that lived outside its entire life, but when I showed her love she did too.
8:45 lol my cat when he vomits picks carpet to vomit on, even though the house is 50% carpet. If he's over tiles he'll walk onto the carpet before vomitting
My cat too
