Wally the Tibetan Mastiffs rescue story
Wally is a Tibetan mastiff that we found when we were on an adventure in China. We quite literally found him at the Great Wall and finally taking the time to tell the story start to finish on how he came to live with us here in the US.
You’ve probably seen a few of his viral videos over the past few years.
You can follow along and check in on Wall-E on all of his social medias (TikTok, KZread, Facebook, and Instagram @babywallybear)

You bought a house for him, you didn’t know it at the time and yet, somehow I like to think that Wally, trapped in that horrible cage was dreaming of a family and a home and the universe said “yup, we got this for you buddy!” ❤

Here from watching his groom on Girl With the Dogs. What a magnificent dog! How many things that had to fall into place for his life to be changed so completely amazes me! Amazing story!

I’m dog CRAZY, and just knowing his rescue story and how the stars aligned for EVERYTHING Wally makes me know dogs should run the world. Knowing he and family are in Massachusetts with ME gave me the chills! I grew up in Melrose and currently live on five glorious acres in Deerfield.

There is a saying "saving one dog may not save the world but for that one dog his world has been saved"..... You guys did that. And he's an amazing dog. Watching his groom just a few minutes ago and how calm and peaceful he was during the entire process just shows your dedication to him. Thank you, from one dog pawrent to another set of pawrents..... Ps... The bond is different and so are dogs, who are rescued. They know they were helped and show their appreciation in a different way.....
I saw that Wally got his first Tim Hortons. He's officially a honorary Canadian now 🇨🇦
I just watched Wally getting groomed and had to see more of this big handsome boy ❤❤ im so glad hes living a good life now 😁👍🇦🇺
So happy Wally found such an amazing forever home! His story had me tearing up. Taking on a the challenge of caring for a Tibetian Mastiff is no simple task, and you rose to the occasion beautifully. Wally is one lucky pup to have found such compassionate and dedicated rescuers. Your love and commitment are truly inspiring. Thank you for making a difference in Wally's life and reminding us of the power of kindness.
also here from Girl with the Dogs- hope things work out for y'all!
Love the story. You were able to fly dogs back with you. Rescue this dog by notifying the rescue group. Then adopted this dog and trained her. And she is wonderful with your babies. And the perfect name...Great Wall(y) of China. The best souvenir.
I’m not much of a dog person, but Wally would change my mind. I’ve had German shepherds most of my life until 2018 when I lost my bestest girl. She was my last, for now. My point is, I understand how delicate a double coat is for a large breed dog. While it’s hardy, it can be damaged so easily without even thinking, if someone who isn’t aware of it shaves it off. I’m glad you guys have a work around for Wally so he stays cool in the summer. So many people don’t realize that a dogs fur (double coated) keeps them warm in the winter and helps to cool them off in the summer, if it’s not damaged. Thank you for sharing him with us. Also, your video made me realize how long ago Covid came about. You guys were busy during that time. Two babies and a dog really puts the time into perspective when it feels like just yesterday we were all on lockdown and afraid. You have a beautiful family.

How can you say you are not much of a dog person, after this amazing comment, friend? You are. We all are, we just don’t know it. And cat people, and animal people in general. After all, we is animals too. Really nice comment, thank you for leaving it; you seem like a pretty special soul.
I just watched Wally's groom on girl with dogs. I just want to say thank you for being awesome and self sacrificing. You all are so cool.❤
You guys are an example to others - showing that it's never impossible to *do something* to help an animal in need. Language barrier, foreign country far away - but you didn't give up. Not on saving him, not on training him. Seeing him happy and so calm during his groom was wonderful. He behaves much more like a giant golden retriever than a feared guard dog despite what he went through which is a wonderful testament to the transforming power of unconditional,wise love. I wish all Your family the best of the best - I bet snuggling with him in heaven already ❤️

What a cool story! Thank you for rescuing him. He is beautiful.❤
Just watched the Girl with the Dogs video with Wally's haircut amazing how calm he seemed through that whole process a few times with the ears he was not happy it seemed but besides that very calm.
Thank you so much for helping this amazing Tibetan Mastiff. God bless you and you family.

Hi!! I came from Girl with the Dogs and I just had to run to your channel to check Wally's story. It brings tears to my eyes to know that he's being loved and taken care of by an amazing family. I can't wait to see more awesome videos and shorts ❤.
HEY BEAR! 😃 Such a majestic being.
I saw Wally getting groomed. What a sweet bear. You are kind to have rescued him. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you angels for saving and loving, gorgeous and desperate Wally, and congratulations on having your beautiful baby. You are all a wonderful family!!!
Just watched Wally's groom with Vanessa. God bless you guys. Even though the stars aligned, not everyone would have done all that you have. It is so obvious he is a healthy and happy boy now. Your daughters have the best nanny dog there could ever be. Can't wait to see more from you guys!
Loved watching Wally's groom...he was so patient and well behaved. Love the rescue story, and how he loves your children...❤❤
He is absolutely beautiful. God bless you for saving him.❤
Here after watching Wally's grooming vid! ❤
I just watched his grooming video, he's a sweetheart! I was amazed by how patient and gentle he was during the uncomfortable groom. The "flight buddy" program is a fantastic idea! What a great way to ship dogs to the USA, Canada, or other countries! If I ever travel to China, I will definitely volunteer to fly a dog to his new home! Thank you for saving him and giving him a second chance at life! ❤❤❤
Thats adorable, thankful that you got to save him, he is a massive ball of love you can tell, just finished the girl with dogs video and I hope he and the family can continue to stay healthy and happy
y'all are truly his angels. Thank you for giving him a dream life! what a gentle soul. and omg - that beautiful coat!!! I've had huskies but they're amateur hour compared to Wally. lol
Great story, your family and the groomer deserve great kudos for going the extra thousands of miles to provide him with his forever home. Please keep us posted on Wally's adventures and your family's amazing love for this beautiful beast. (I used beast affectionately)
wally is so precious 💝 watched his groom, what an adorable and well-mannered boy 🥹 so happy he is rescued and in good hands now
I love watching @GirlWithTheDogs, and I found your channel through her grooming of Wally. What a wonderful family story! I love dogs and I love the people who rescue and care about them. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with Wally. And your babies are darling. 🥰
What a rescue story. Saved in the nick of time!
I saw Wally's grooming session.... I've always loved big dogs. I would mush his face EVERYDAY!!!! It's hard for cold weather dogs during the summer... I noticed that even in Alaska.... THAT 1ST SNOWFALL IS THEIR HAPPY TIME LOL😊
Like a lot of others, I watched his groom and then came here. I absolutely love watching him just melt into the floor in the most lazy boy way lol. In his cage in China, he's always standing. He was probably in so much pain that he couldn't sit. Now he can be lazy and melt into the floor as much as he wants. You're helping him be comfortable physically and mentally. Wishing you many years of joy with your fur baby 🥰
*I can’t imagine the hoops these awesome ppl had to navigate to get this boy over to North America...you are true hero’s...you really are!*
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful rescue, so happy he has your family now.
Thank you so much for saving this sweetheart, he was meant for your family. I love that he'll live his best life now and be the best big brother to two sweet girls. What a fabulous family you have, sending all my love to fluffy Wally
Thank you for looking out for this good boi 😊
I watch Vanessa. She is a great groomer and person. Wally is adorable. Thank you for rescuing him.
Beautiful story, it was meant to be and now he has his forever home!
Watched his grooming by the master! She is outstanding in her care for all animals. Wally really showed her at her best. And he was such a gentle giant! This should be a movie. Such a touching story!❤🎉
I’m so glad that you have Wally in your lives! We have a rescue African mastiff who also was impacted a lot by Covid shutdowns. (She had just started being able to meet other dogs successfully, and then everything shit down, and now she’s just a cranky senior who adores the humans she spent time with during the pandemic, but wants everyone else to go away.) I think she and Wally would probably be kindred souls!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm a sucker for those storybook endings. My current dog is a Chow Chow. He is my 18th dog and my 5th Chow Chow in my 74 years. He was 3½ when I rescued him. He was the largest Chow Chow I have ever seen. He was skin and bones at 65 lb. He was shaved like a lion because his coat was matted. Now 5 years later he's 120 lb with a mane like a lion and a full-grown out coat. FYI: For people owning dogs with long thick hair it is important to provide the nutrients for hair growth. A supplement of cooked sweet potatoes is what is needed for a lustrous coat.
First learned of Wally on "Girl with the Dogs" Thank you so much for giving Wally his best life. He is beautiful ❤
Such a sad dog now in loving hands. Rescue is so important, not just for the dogs but humans too! Thank you for your efforts. Now he can live.
The level of malnourishment that this poor dog had to deal with is heartbreaking. Thank you for saving him and giving this wonderful baby the life he deserves.
Thank you for saving him! And glad he fits in so well with your family!
I just watched the grooming video! I'm so glad that you've got someone in your corner to help get Wally's coat to hopefully grow back to normal. I also can't believe you guys only live about an hour away from me- so it's like a local legend, living so nearby! I'm so glad you've saved him, and that he gets to live like a king for the rest of his life!
