Mo died in September 2023. Savvy is doing okay. 💔👍🏻
😢
😢😢😢noooo
I'm so sorry
I'm truly sorry for your loss. 😢 He was a beauty. ❤
Mo-bear 💔
Over feeding is as much animal cruelty as under feeding. Sadly many people see it as showing love, but in the long run they become big, thicc and sick.
They do the same with their kids, usually. My roommate in my younger days was the sweetest lady, whose sister and nephew lived just a few streets away. The nephew was at my home quite often. And my roomie would PLY him with sweets. This kid was 9 years old and weighed 205 pounds. He was practically force-fed junk food and fast food, because these two women grew up dirt-poor in the hills near Rogersville, Tennessee. The amazing thing is, he got up to close to 400# before HS Gradiation. But when he moved out of his mom’s house, he began losing weight. I saw him 10,12 years later, and he was a tall, handsome and well built young man. Not sure what the lesson is, but don’t feed your kid junk food every day. Of course a sweet is fine on occasion, as is fast food, but not DAILY!
Kinda like Americans, big, thicc, and sick. We are overfed my the industrial food complex.
In this case I wouldn’t call it being intentionally cruel. More like lack of education on the former owner’s part.
Kinda like whats happened to the North American Population 🤔...
My cat is a super chonk, diet food and no treats are not working. We both cry ourselves to sleep.
These raccoons needed all the help to lose weight!! Boy!! Did it EVER WORK!! They look completely different!! Just Adorable!! Very Precious!!😊
The gentleman with the geese on his deck narrates perfectly. Love his voice and tells his story. Hilarious!
and he is sad when they let them on the wild. poor dude
I love they way the babies swim in the food lol
@@ILoveNatureAndAnimals that was adorable! 🥰
The way that raccoon🦝SNATCHED that carrot🥕from the girl, IMMEDIATELY reminded me of those cute and funny Japanese coin banks where your press the button on them and they have a cat that peeks through the top and just snatches the coin into the coin bank🪙👛!!!!!
Being kind to animals is so important. Nothing is more important.
How about humanity being kind to one another? ✝️🙏
Thats gonna take more time.@peace-and-quiet
@@peace-and-quieta world without religion would be an actual heaven.
How about family
60% of humanity is evil. Animals don’t know evil. That’s the difference.
This lady is tops at rehabilitating animals. Enjoy her videos.
Great to see the guys celebrating saving the dolphin! I think if more people could experience the joy and contentment that accompanies wildlife rescue there might be more enthusiastic protection of our natural resources and beautiful planet!🌍🌎🌏
I love how disgusted Hillary is by the guy’s audacity to want to use his deck 😂
glad the cougar has the dog as a friend!! thank you to the lady that is caring for him!
Lol
That dog looks so uncomfortable. It’s not showing any signs at all of being happy to spend time with the cougar.
@@faioraIf the dog was uncomfortable,he won't be sitting like that. U can't make an animal sit calmly like that if he doesn't want to....they'll move away quickly.
@@user-ph7dp9rr5s you can absolutely get a dog to stay in an uncomfortable situation, or even a dangerous situation. If your dog loves and trusts you (and has a reasonable amount of training, so they can understand what you want) they may listen to you even when their life is threatened. Dogs are incredibly loyal and self sacrificing for those they care about.
"You need to go on a diet." Racoon: "I'm saving up for Winter hibernation." "It's Spring." Racoon: "Im getting a very early start on next winter, now pass the French fries."
"You can have sweet potato fries." Racoon: *flips table*
Those two were a couple of thunder chonks! They are adorable though. Animals are the best. I wouldn't want to live in a world without them.
So neat that you’ll hopefully have new generations of Canadian Geese taking over your deck and flower pot and raising their goslings. It’s not just a flower pot anymore but a special nest. Hope you get to enjoy new geese for years to come. You are the chosen one. Out of all the decks and all the flower pots yours was chosen.
That is a palatial racoon resort! Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Seeing that blind cougar made me sad. Im so glad hes living a great life but it just makes me sad.
Us humans have that natural response, but animals are much more resilient than us 😝 They mostly adapt really well because their survival instincts are so strong, but also because unlike humans, they don’t really dwell on what they’re missing out on ☺️ A friend’s cat had a brain tumour that caused him to go blind but luckily, the tumour was easily removed! He’s healthy now, but the blindness was permanent. At first, he was just learning to adjust but unlike humans (who would understandably be upset and overwhelmed at permanently losing their sight so quickly, getting distraught they’ll never see their kids smile again etc), he didn’t have the struggle of all that ☺️ My friend just had to think of different ways to play with him and help him use his hearing skills to navigate instead! He jumps into cardboard boxes, she softly taps or scratches different areas (like a little mouse haha), and he “pounces” 😝💖 He’s a happy boy and other than occasionally running into walls when he has the zoomies, he manages to have a content life with blindness, the same way he did when he could see 💖
There’s nothing more beautiful than working with animals. Bless you all for your care and love 💕 ❤
Those raccoons are adorbale! I really like that young lady. I think she has been on Dodo before.
YOU ma'am are the BEST HUMAN ever!!!
Reminds me of when I adopted my dog Georgie. He was 128lbs…his ideal weight was 70-75lbs. Hard work ahead for those raccoons, but they’re in good hands 💞
one of them died sadly :(
Keep them❤

A guy who calls himself the Raccoon Whisperer in Canada feeds wild ones - dozens of them - hot dogs and cookies. They're all this big and it's heartbreaking to see. He's got all these followers who decry anyone for even politely asking that they be given healthy fare. All animal lovers are not alike. ❤
So I’m subbed to his channel, I agree he should be giving them healthier foods, but I don’t remember them being as big as these two.
Jim definitely feeds them too much bad food. I leave dry cat food on my porch year round for my raccoons, and when they have their litters, I feed the little ones bread, grapes, and sunflower seeds. When they reach about 4-1/2 months old at the middle of August, they move on to find their own homes.
@@keyofallworlds7549 Yikes, I guess I exaggerated. It's kind of distressing to see when good food costs the same. I know they mean well, but his stubbornness is... just that. Take care ❤
Yeh. Boxes and boxes of broken biscuits. After a bazillion salty hotdogs. All I think of is the salt content. Then when I saw the biscuits I was horrified.
The Raccoon Whisperer sounds like a jerk. If he really cared he wouldn’t be feeding them junk.
I love to see people helping animals. Thanks.
They just want a burger! 😩
Amazing comment
😂😂

I want a burger 🍔
Damn, now i’m too…
What is even cooler about that dolphin rescue was the dolphin they saved was an incredibly rare and endangered Irrawaddy dolphin, with less than 100 individuals still populating the wild! Incredible!
Heartwarming stories compilation ❤❤❤
To see humans come together for the love of animals is just what I needed to see today , Thank you for all you do for these beautiful creatures..
I love this new compliation style, but it would be nice if all the stories were featured in the title or description
I love when everyone is involved in animal rescue... 12:38 thanks for everyone...
Even the animals are "heavy set" over there 😂
Goose Man. We love you. Thank you from the ❤ 🪿🦆
Thank you for saving those sweet raccoons lives. Getting healthier every day!🥰🥰
We have a grey Toulouse named Hats who like to nest and lay her eggs in one of my flower pots. She has tried other spots, but the flower pots remains her favorite.
I adore the bandits. They are so cute.
I love the compilation of different animal stories from different countries. It's nice to see that people all over the world try to help animals!
So many heroes in this world. Thank you for making this world a better place for all species. 💕
I hope their diet continues well and they become healthy and strong as they should be! Kudos to mama!
Thank you all you wonderful kind,caring people❤
Thank you for your kindness!!❤❤
What a handsome cougar. So glad you’re helping him live a good life and that you have a bond with him.
I love the longer videos and the animals in them ❤
😍🐶 LOVE IT!!!! Bless all the people who help these animals. With all the hate & craziness in the world, it truly gives me hope that there are still good ❤ people out there. God Bless from Georgia 🐾🐶🐾
Absolutely loving the longer compilations by The Dodo channel, and depicting the wonderful humans that are working tirelessly for the prevention of unnecessary cruelty, abuse and suffering of our beloved, animal kingdom members. And quite possibly, the best part about this entire video was at the very end, upon seeing the level of sheer joy and jubilation by so many of the natives, who are clearly determined to help their indigenous animal species of all kinds, safely make it in an increasingly hostile and rapidly shrinking world, that's relentlessly encroaching upon the natural habitat, and as a direct result, is exposing the animal kingdom to all manner of dangers and difficulties that requires as many good humans as is possible to continue with the miraculous rescues such as we watched in this video. ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness, I haven’t even finished watching, but the geese story was awesome. And so was the raccoons now onto the next. Thanks for sharing all these incredible beautiful stories.
As an Indonesian, I'm really proud for those people whose save the dolphin. May good karma always be with them
❤Thank You DODO,for always giving the Best Content,all of your Feed is #1❤
Very sweet stories ❤
Oh those little noises are adorable 🥰
Nooo big mo ❤❤🦝🦝 you will forever be remembered ❤
Aww stay dry goose...love love love the "Outsiders" reference♡
I totally want updates on all the cuties especially the squishy raccoons! ❤️❤️
Time to get in touch with the guy who gives hot dog sausages on his backyard deck 😂😂😂
I love my raccoons, they can be really funny, so chunky OMG! Sorry for your loss with Mo.. Its sad they just don't out live us!
I’m so glad people are starting to see raccoons as animals with precious lives and not as pests ! ❤
Thank you for the longer videos.
Beautiful cougar story!
Omg…such sweet stories ❤❤❤ those raccoons though…😂😂😂
Love all these videos.
You are still doing a great job !
Absolute units!
Oh my god....the Geese have taken over!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Those raccoons are so cute 🥰🥰🥰 and they have so much personality ! And the goose and chicks were adorable too, I didn’t realize there was more to this video than just the raccoons. Oo the cougar is very cute too!
Love these kinds of videos. Humans can be helpful and humane. 💕💕💕💕
What a beautiful video. I love these animals. ❤❤❤
Not gonna lie, I think it's so adorable how round and chunky they are, but the Medical Assistant in me is so glad and respect the sweet owner for helping them improve their overall health and weight.
thanks so much. i enjoyed watching your video
Great to see happy cougars, dolphins, geese and racoons ♥
❤❤
Fat and funny raccoons! Thank you for the video!
😂the geese are so funny❤😂😅😊 The raccoon story is bittersweet, i love it ❤ The blind cougar is special do me bc im dissabled too ❤ Dolphins are my favorite sea animal (with bush babies/lemures/cats tieing for land animals 😅)
❤️❤️❤️
So cute!
😅😅😅
Nice compilation, thanks Dodo. 👍💪✌
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏muchas bendiciones para el angelito inosente ❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Ironically, they were someone's pets and now they are someone else's pets
To the raccoon good job you weight loss. I hope you have a lot more adventures.
Raccoons amaze me how they get into small holes!😮❤
Amazing stories!!! Where I used to live at one time there was a raccoon and she was stealing the cat food I was putting out for the stray cats. She got pretty but at least these raccoons now have a place where they can do exercise and they have one another and their weight loss journey is magnificent. And the goose always coming back to the same flower pot and then having babies was so heartwarming. I have never heard a bird do that sound before it sounded like a cat hiss. The cougar was beautiful. I love all animals and the big cats always hold a special place in my heart. And the way that this woman respected the cougar not wanting to really make it a pad and play with it and put clothing on it and make it like a house cat but she respected the fact that this animal could not go back into the wild so she treated it respectfully while taking care of it and that's an important thing. And a big big thank you to all of those people who helped that dolphin. Care comes in all shapes and sizes and comes from old people's all over the world their compassion to save animals whether they have whiskers pause feathers or fins is truly amazing❤❤❤❤
Raccoons look like they put on weight fast, especially being fed high fat foods. If only people wouldn't just take in wild animals because they like them! Thankyou to the people that actually help animals, wild and domestic. Looks like these two are doing well ❤
Animals are amazing
I remember watching the First video! ❤ Also Rest In Peace Mo.. 🌷
💖💖💖
Hey Dodo, can you please make it clear in the title of the vids that they're compilations n not just a single vid. TYVM for all of your hard work with these animal vids
So awesome!!!!
The Racoon is so cute ❤❤
When people call them pests, I don't think you can call them illegal pets, but that person should have given them a better diet.
Thank you for the update, The Dodo..!! Hissing geese look funny on KZhead videos, but they sound menacing when you hear them right next to you. 🥶 There are videos of people who panic and run after an unexpected hissing geese encounter, and that's like giving them a green signal to attack you. Don't run. Don't even look at them, and just walk away. ❤
Love it! The racoons are cute!

Oh, I thought male cougars were a danger to cubs? Still, what a sweet fella!! I hope he gets the best life his caretaker can offer 💕

That size it's really insane, what a irresponsible are the owners, less food and more exercise
So cute
Wonderful work and love 💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹
Adroable & sweet ❤❤❤
I hope there are some compilations of dodo special video for days to come.
We need a word beyond chonker
Our high school had a pair of ducks that would nest in the courtyard every year. And every year we eagerly anticipated the day the biology teachers would round up the ducklings to relocate them to a nearby park with a pond. It was fairly hilarious.
Racoons gonna be like 'hey remember when i couldnt even get up on that stool?'
The first time I saw these guys (raccoons), I actually thought that they were wombats due to their body mass. Thank goodness they're in a safe place and can have a proper diet to get back into shape. Good luck, fellas.
