Lovely. Our latest rescue is into his 7th month of heaven after appalling harm. He is thriving and brings us such joy. Adopt an older dog if you can. They are so worth the time and love

This video reminds me of my old rescue dog. She was very nervous and would not walk on a lease. But we took her to training. She was so nervous that she wouldn’t take a treat and was shaking in fear. But we took her twice a week to classes at our local pet story. It was amazing how well she over came her fear and started to learn the normal commands. She has bonded to me and is a playful loving dog who flows me around the house.

Oh a glimpse of heaven. Love, kindness, rescuing a poor dog and incorporating him into a great Family!!!! I love happy !

Thank you, beautiful people, for being so kind to him.

Sorry, but I just viewed this video today. He may be an older dog but there's no shortage off love. Thank you for adopting an older dog. They need to be loved too. They need to give that love back also. Iroh looks loved and spoiled rotten. Good for you Iroh!

Thank God for everyone who takes a shelter animal into their homes, especially the older ones. I would so love to have two of them but I have free flight birds

Hey everyone! I just wanted to tell you how much your support and comments mean to me. I never expected this video to reach so many people. You are all amazing, thank you so so much.

i have 6 rescues.......when each one came into my life/my home , once they got their tummy full they wanted sleep......sleeping soundly for a stray is dangerous.....always vigilant.......sometimes when my pups sleep, they must dream of "close calls"........their feet run and occasionally cry out as if in fear or pain.......they are safe in the house, or screened porch, fenced yard when they play outside......YOUR RESCUE IS A SWEETHEART.....God bless you......

And Thank YOU!

For a young, athletic couple to adopt a senior dog is commendable. Thank you!

Thank you for making a very old man happy and giving him a second chance in life bless you all

Not old at all. In fact, just perfect!

Age is just a number.

My neighbour took a small adult terrier dog from a rescue-shelter. I asked her how the new arrival was settling in. " when she arrived , she spent a few minutes inspecting the apartment " said my neighbour, " then jumped onto the sofa and looked at me as if to say ' and what time is dinner served in this establishment ?'

He is a lucky dog ,to have a forever home and loving owners . Wish there're more lucky stray dogs .

Thank you very much rescuers and the adopters for loving him so much.... God bless you all...

God bless you for adopting an older dog. I always do. Our Piper was 8 when we adopted her and now she is 15. She is a Jack Russell. She still has a lot of energy. We love her guts.

"Sadly, Iroh passed in March, he was my first dog and I still miss him terribly." My cat Gypsy, adopted when she was 10 y.o,, had to be put down in early September after a stroke or heart attack left her paralyzed. Like you missing your Iroh, I miss my Gypsy terribly. It wasn't until she was gone that I realized just what a big part of my life she'd become in the eight years I had her. No more waking up in the middle of the night and realizing she'd climbed into bed with me (a difficult task for an old, very arthritic cat) and I could see the silhouette of her ears in the dim light. No more having my face and temple carefully and thoroughly licked. No more anything at all. These animals have a way of insidiously insinuating themselves into our hearts. I still break down into tears over her death once in a while. You are right about the reasons in favor of adopting an older animal.

It always warms my heart when a graybeard finds a happy home. As someone who has taken in more than a few graybeard cats, it's my opinion that they are the most endearing and have the most character

I love this! We currently have 3 rescues. Our oldest is best guess 16 or so. A former puppy mill mum. Adopt an older dog, they may not be so cute but they won't eat your shoes either, and their devotion and love is endless.

What a beautiful video and tribute to your dog. My husband and I also adopt seniors and they have such wonderful souls. Bless you.

Thank you so much for adopting and loving Iroh. He is saying, "Thank you for adopting me and loving me!"

Aw am so glad for him he deserve it ❤️❤️❤️

How lovely ! There are senior animals waiting for a home, and are often overlooked. They have no less love to give, maybe more. I had a foster, but kept her and became a happy "foster fail". She was already trained to go outside to potty and ended being such a sweet, funny little love bug. Don't forget the oldie but goody dogs/cats who are waiting.

God bless you. He is a cutie

A very heartwarming video. Bless you for allowing him to grow old in the security of a comfortable, warm and loving home. This should be every dog's right.

Love in Christ always

He only needed to be loved by his family. Awesome

It was wonderful to see this older dog got a second chance in a loving family. God bless you and RIP Iroh.

I just saw this video today, and what you did was so compassionate and kind.What a great thing you did! You let this little soul know he mattered and was loved and his age didn't make a difference in any of that. God bless you.

You are such a loving and compassionate family. Lucky dog. Lucky you. When my precious cats pass from old age, it is my dream to adopt two old, shelter dogs that I know will be passed up by people because they will be perceived as not cute or too old. People don't know what they are missing. Well... maybe more veterinary bills but it's worth every penny.

We adopted a German Shepherd that lived on a chain for 7 1/2 yrs 24 -7. No more. He found a good home. We love older dogs.

We also adopted a 10 year old small dog when his owner passed away.Our boy lay beside his dead owner for 3 days until the body was found.At first he was wary of us,and would occasionally growl.Now he loves us very much,and is overjoyed living in his forever home.We recently went for a holiday at friends who live in a beautiful park like garden,we took our dog,and he had the best time ever!If you have thought of adopting a dog,please get an older one.Yes,you won't have them as long,but they will love you unconditionally,and they deserve to live out their lives in happiness.You won't regret it.

What a great video--very well done. Also, thank you for adopting an older dog and giving him a wonderufful home. I have adopted 3 older dogs, and it is so hard to lose them, but would not give up the memories for anything. My old dogs came from Old Dog Haven.

Reminds me of my "ole doggie" who lived to 18! We finally had to say good bye to her!

Thanks a lot to all rescuers of the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My 2 are now almost Seniors. I'm thankful for every animal I've taken in and Loved. They do give so much love and companionship oh yes! Lots of kisses. It takes a person with a big heart to rescue Seniors. Thank you.

I adopted an older Beagle/Jack Russell mix. I named him Tank as he was built like one :) I was told at the shelter he was between 8 and 10. Well I had him for nearly 8 years until, unfortunately, he started having grand mal seizures and there was nothing I or the vet could do so I had to do the right thing for him. That was just over a year ago and I miss him every day. Fortunately for me, I still have my 13 year old Jack Russell, whom I've had since he was 13 weeks old. Murphy is very healthy, active and happy and I hope to have him for many more years. For those of you who are thinking of adopting, please consider an older dog, they can be amazing.

Fantastic!!full of love.Beautiful sweet baby❤

Look at that! THANK U SO VERY MUCH 4 givn' a senior a chance! 😘

Thanks for saving a senior dog!! :-) They are so sweet and loving, i wish more people did!! He is a charmer with those floppy gourgeous ears

You folks rock!! Thank you for adopting an older dog. They often come with so many perks....house broken, no chewing, no jumping, etc. l am so sorry for your loss. You have the pleasure of knowing that he knew you loved him until the end. Without you he might not have had a great home and all the love he could ever ask for. Bless you.

Thank you for giving him a beautiful last year of his precious life.

Thank you for adopting and bringing happiness to an old dog. Young dogs are taken first but older dogs deserve as much love as the young ones....thank you again!!!

Bless him

Wow, Iroh was so lucky to be adopted by such a loving family. Thank you for making Iroh happy!

Senior pets have so much love to give, and bless all who think of them.. We did it, and were not sorry. Our elegant tuxedo...kitty gal Lexie died after a long life -- at fourteen!!

agree love to the dog and savers, God bless them all

God bless you!!! He is adorable!

This is such a well done video. I still miss a cat I had had for over 20 yrs from when he was 7 weeks old. Lost him 2 yrs and 4 Mos ago. I miss him more now, even tho I still have my 13 yr old cat and I adopted a cat from Egypt almost 2 Mos ago. I always had a dog and cat and I'd love to adopt a senior (like myself) that I can spoil and love. Your video makes me want to again, but I'm also in an apt and it would have to be a small dog that likes cats. You're great people to spread the message and, if I weren't worried about the walking and exercise part, I'd be looking for a pup now. My Dr says I need exercise for my heart and depression.... thank you for making me think again about a senior pupper! HAPPY 2018!

Iroh definitely looked like he fit right in as part of your family. Well done for adopting an older dog. Thanks for sharing your video.

He is precious!!

Older dogs are grateful and loving. 😇🐾🤗

Wonderful video

I volunteer at a rescue shelter and everyone wants a puppy. I always try to convince people to adopt the older dogs.

We recently adopted a rescue that looks like your older version......it was a few days and he is an addition i am glad we added, our dog passed in jan 2019 and we got him april 5, 2019......as the tears for our former doggie would not stop.......this one is such a sweetheart. Glad to have a dog in house again. Loved your video. Blessings

That little pooch is a Rock Star !!! So cute. Thank you for taking such good care of this wonderful old K-9. All the best and stay healthy.

How gracious of you to share Iroh's golden years. He's a lucky, handsome fella. You can tell he's happy.

Thanks for your kindness.

So sweet! I'm so glad you could adopt him and he can have such a loving life. That's what we've done with our dog and she'll soon be 5, after getting her when she was a baby. She was 1 of 8 girl in the litter and they're all around locally! She has Hips Dysplasia, so life is hurtful for her, but we give her pain med. and she has our whole farm to roam, and she loves it!!

bless your hearts. looks just like ours but taller. adopted ours at four years old. now she's 14. we will adopt an older dog when it's time. they are gifts from heaven and so very wise.

WOW amazing ..bless you kindhearted People..by loving and saving this innocent angel..

I don't think I can love you more than anyone. Thanks for adopting a older dog!

It was very nice of you to have adopted an old dog. You have a huge heart.

Awww bless you for making this wonderful pup live out his life as a loved dog in a loving family. All dogs deserve to be loved and live a good life but so many dogs don't it.

Thank you to the couple who adopted this adorable puppy !! Congrats !!

we have an eighteen year old little dog that we adopted when she was eleven. a very sweet girl.

Patrick You my friend are what HEROS are god bless you my friend

I adopted a 7 year old. Never regretted a single moment for the 11 years I had her. I still miss her 7 years later.

LOVE this video. What a wonderful family this little fellow found himself adopted into! Thanks for sharing his terrific story. No lives forever, but it's how that life is lived that counts.

People who adopt dogs and rescue animals to me or the top-tier of humanity at its best God bless you for pissing God's love off to your dog

RIP Iroh,Glad you had the time of your life with mom & dad.Kudos to mom & dad for enriching his life & their own with love!

Hope and pray Iroh and his family are doing well:) Precious Fur~Baby and very Sweet Fur~Owners! PLZ ADOPT older dogs.

Your kindness touched me!

5 years ago we adopted 2 Greyhound at a Greyhound Rescue event. We thought we only wanted one until we learned the 2 year old male that befriended us had a sister. Well, they only had each other at that point and we couldn't split up a family. Long story short, Brutus and Cruella are our kids, our '40 MPH couch potatoes' and they have two of the proudest dads on the planet!!! Your video of Iroh is awesome and we're sorry to learn of old puppy's death. At least he had love in the mean time!!
