Happy almost-end-of-the-week, animal lovers and friends. We don't know what you have planned for the weekend, but we have absolutely nothing planned. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nada. And we're loving it. That is, unless we happen to come across a puppy that needs our help, in which case we will have a lot to do and not much time to do it. We wouldn't say no to a new puppy, but since we already have two dogs, it might be a bit of a challenge.

However, when the Dog Distribution System starts talking, you listen. You can't ignore it. The wildlife photographer in this wholesome video listened to the DDS and it gifted him with a beautiful doggo and a happy family. What more can you ask for?

Upon finding the lost puppy while photographing in the mountains, he scooped the precious puppy right up and got him checked at the vet. He wanted to put him up for adoption, but his wife had other plans. Watch the whole heartwarming video below!

  • Oh, that poor little pupper! We can't when dogs look sad. We just can't. We have to swoop in and help them no matter what the cost. We're not sure what happened to this puppy and his siblings (or pawrents, for that matter), but all that matters now is that he has a family that loves him and a new pack to play with!

    He could barley walk and was covered in flies. I couldn't just leave him behind to di■.

  • We were the ones who forced our partner to let us adopt a dog. It was our partner's idea to adopt the second one. Obviously, we didn't say no. The more the merrier, we say!

    tylerbee_photography Not my typical post. This pup was on his last leg when I found him. I figured if we spent this much time and money to get him to this point we might as well keep him. We named him Lucky for good reason. And he is living his best life now.

    tylerbee_photography Since this video. reached so many people and many comments go unanswered here is a little more backstory and info. We ended up doing genetic testing about a month later and he is mostly Great Pyrenees. They are large guardian dogs that protect livestock. What I didn't show in the

    video as his siblings were already gone, he was the only survivor. They could have been from predators if mother wasn't around to protect them. There was a coyote about a 100 yards from him when I found him. So highly likely.

    I spent many days looking for the mother, owner, or any livestock in the area with no luck. Many times these guardian dogs live on the mountains and give birth on the mountain with little or no human interaction. The live stock could have been moved and the adult dogs moved with them without anyone even know if there were pups or where the pups

    letthemgrumble The second you were like "because I have 2 dogs", I thought, "No sir. You have 3 dogs. You just don't know it yet." Your wife knows what's up.
