Life is ruff, not no more. - Theo 🐶
Love it 😂
@@PuddinsFabShop2puddin i've had a pit bull, there's nothing wrong with how he runs that's how they run ... it's the funniest thing they kinda scoot their butt under themselves ... i'm not saying there's NOTHING wrong with them but if that's your reason for thinking there is then don't be worried that's totally normal
@@Hard_Right 100% agree .
@hard_right ditto I have 2 females and they both do it as well hilarious
@@Hard_Right He might change a little bit as he get more comfortable and get his health sorted which seems to be going in the right direction, but yea i've got 2 pit mixes and they both do that unless they are REALLY trying to sprint
As a former Animal Control Officer, I can tell you that he most definitely was a bait dog! They are always tied with a tight rope/chain and not fed much. The weaker they are, the more attractive they are to the fighting dog. It's a disgusting practice by worthless people. Hot Rod prayed for him, and he was delivered to you to save. I'm confident he will get all the love, attention, and play he deserves. God Bless you all!
I have a rescue puppy that was a bait dog. They require a lot of attention. But they will reward you. You love them they will return it ten fold.
Terrible evil people out there. So glad Theo got out of where he was most likely abused. They have feelings just like us and deserve to be taken care of properly with tons of love.💕
I am 35 years old 6 foot 2 300 pounds of tattooed ex con and seeing him that way is making me cry, I absolutely hate ppl that mistreat dogs so ty so much for helping that poor dog.
I don't think there's a prosecutor in the land that would charge John Wick...
Me too.
I am everything you said but a ex con. I feel the same exact way.
I am a 2X convicted felon, and I feel the exact same way.
Amen brother. They have feelings just like we do so I’m constantly making sure our fur babies know they are very much loved and well cared for. They are such a blessing.
When my pit got snipped he slept for a week. It takes around 3 months for a rescue to realize he's got a forever home. Sending my prayers. Take your time. They're the best dogs ever.
Praise God, we pray Hotrod is not allergic to Theo, he's a beautiful dog, and you saved him from whatever bad life he's had. 🐕
I'm calling him Puddin' Pup.
Yasssss lol
Yeah I’m leaning towards that too lol, my son’s name is Theo.
Nice 😂 @@HayesTransport
@@GregoryJohnston77😂
BRAVO!!😂😂👏👏👏👏
You are going to be Swamped in dog treats & toys from the fans, for doing the right thing. Thank you for opening your heart & saving Theo from homelessness
You saved his life and he knows it. He’ll forever be thankful for you.
Dude, you're my hero for saving this beautiful pooch! He's such a sweet baby!
When dogs choose you and you show them kindness, they are the most loyal. Beautiful boy! Many blessings!
100 agree a dog that adopts you ...
That's one happy dog. You can tell he's thankful for saving him.
He will protection you and the girl with his life after you took him in. You have given the best gift a man could ever get. Congratulations my guy👍
YAY!! So happy to see puppy is staying!! As a veterinary professional, I’m a firm believer there’s no bad pit bulls, just bad pit bull owners! 🐶🐾❤

Pittys were called a "nanny dog" in late 1800's- early 1900's. They were used in that way for their loyalty. As long as you're willing to allow him to teach you while you're teaching him, all your questions about him will be answered. I think you've got yourself a damn good pup.
Nanny Dog, WRONG
@@NoWr2Runwhat’s so “wrong” about it?
@@NoWr2Run The term was never really widely used at any point in history but was occasionally hung on Staffordshire Terriers. The Pits as nanny dogs thing has mostly sprung up in recent history as people try to combat the negative image a lot of folks have with pits. I've owned several. A couple I'd never let off lead near another dog and one that couldn't have cared less if there was a dog right in front of him. All were good with children but one got temperamental as they (the children) became teens. Pitbulls are just like any other dog but have serious bite force - they're dangerous IF they bite but that can be said about many dogs. Each dog is an individual and needs to be taught and learned about to fully understand and bond with them. Nanny dogs, though? No. That's not really a broad historical thing applied to the breed.
@@kellyrjohnson7693 I've owned 3, like you said 2 of mine were fine but the one male not so much around other animals. Thanks for your WONDERFUL explanation, NOTHING LIKE THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF A DOG.
@@kellyrjohnson7693 good description. I've had a Walker that was meaner than any dog I've ever known but he loved & trusted me completely. He had had a rough life before I got him. He was a scarred up, block headed old coon hound who hated everyone but me. I adapted to that by walking him at night in the woods behind our house to minimize interactions with other people. He was fine unless someone approached me or him. I hated that I couldn't socialize him more but I had no choice but to protect him from himself. Despite his anti social behavior, I miss him dearly.
We only think we rescue them, they actually rescue us. I cannot love this video enough! The lord works in amazing ways he uses all of his creatures to do his work even an old dog. Great job Dad!
A dog is God's gift to us. They only give unconditional love. Thanks for the update on him. You and your family will never regret the day you found him.
Rescue dogs are the best dogs. Good to see one find a good home.
I have nine dogs and all are rescues..we worked rescue several years
How I get my cats, too. The ones that just wander up onto the porch are the best ones. When they finally realize they've found their forever home they just melt in your hands.
I love it when they get the zoomies. Especially when they've had a hard life before. It shows they're turning a corner from a hard road to a better road. My last 3 rescues were all pitties. Sweetest dogs I ever had, all three cuddle bugs that just want kisses and belly scratches. Best dogs I've ever had. My current is a pittie as well.
We rescued a girl Pitt, Princess, she was dumped at Animal Control with her babies. The babies got snapped up quickly, she was basically waiting to be cancelled. My friend took her daughter to get a dog, and Princess chose them to be her new family. Such a sweet doggie. Princess was already trained to shake, roll over, sit, so someone loved her at one time. That makes me sad they gave up on her. Now she has a new family, we all love her and she just needs to realize when she gets the zoomies its not ok to bounce off people to change your course of direction. A 50+ lb Pittie bouncing off your chest while you are calmly sitting on the couch is not ok. But she was running and smiling, so I coudn't get mad...I couldn't breahte for a minute either, but she didn't know. Very playful girl.
I love zooming zoomies that's when the are the happiest an want to show you their happy ❤❤❤❤
@@randylevesque1504gullible ass people
Amen! They are the sweetest and most loyal breed out there imho.
Hot Rod will hopefully be ok after Theo gets bathed. My family adopted a Piitty named Toby after his original owners surrendered him when their son developed allergies to him. When we first got Toby my younger daughter started to get stuffy and my skin itched a bit. Turns out he needs a bath once a week to keep the dander down, he smells better and no more allergies. Oatmeal shampoo is good for the skin and the medicated shampoo that has Chlorhexidine Gluconate is good for rash spots. Burt Wards Gentle Giants dog food also helped with us with the skin/dander issues. You're doing God's work saving that dog. ❤
Hey Puddin, I have a rescue Pitbull who was used for bait, we adopter her @ 4 months old, and shes now 11, shes just a great dog, we just love her to death. I think these guys know when they've been saved. Its a blessing that he found you and your family. That's the greatest save you've made in the many years I been watching you.
puddin finally found his version of duff
I was hoping he named him Fudd
@@kraigdunlap2882haha that would’ve been hilarious
I love this!
That snip snip will help with the wandering. Worked wonders for our fella. Will definitely pray for Hotrod to be alright with Theo.
Honestly don't think he will wonder off much anyways due to a good family life but the snip snip will help for sure
Hes barking now because he has a home to protect
Zoomies is a sign he is feeling more comfortable with you. Dogs like him find a family, not a family finds a dog. You are blessed to have been picked by him.
Get a wireless fence and walk him around so he knows his boundaries. A good dog is worth more than a gun. Good job Puddin!..😊
We've got an invisible fence for our Lab. He has crossed it once when he was a puppy and never again. Learned the boundaries very quickly,
@@Dan-il9rz The only problem with an Invisible fence is it lets other Dogs ect. into your yard.
I love dogs, but I've never seen one that can move 3000 FPS.
@@carbonfiber8071 I was going too go there but I figured my fence reply would piss somebody off ?
@@Dan-il9rzI've taught my black lab to sit with me by the door watching the world go by anything can go by and she stays they definitely know
STINKY DOGS NEED LOVE TOO. LOL
Praying for Hotrod she is not allergic. Prayers for Theo. He is a gift from God. Blessing to you and the family.
Lip licking is usually a sign of anxiety. Glad you are keeping him. Such a sweetie. 🩷
Hot rod got blessed when she thought for sure she was not getting a pup! I love all that you do puddin keep up the good work!
When he takes off and runs around in sprinting fashion, those are. called "zoomies" my pit mix does the same thing, like the rest of them. Also means he is super excited and feels comfortable around you as well. Man I love seeing when two souls meant to be together connect, absolutely a sign. That dog was meant for you and the family Puddin. The smile on your face when he plays is priceless brother. This brings more happiness to the channel. Thank you for spreading the good word on Pitties, so misunderstood/used. You showed him some love and he will absolutely protect you now, he has decided you are his human and will do whatever it takes to keep you safe. We 100% need Theo T-shirt.
yes zoomies
"Dad your taking about me"... yep you are hooked.... awesome video.... glad you found each other 😊
⭐️⭐️His back legs are fine... he's a bully they boot scoot. When they run!!!! Ok, this may have been said. We have A bully breed. They are the most special, amazing, loving, caring, protective bubbas....
He’s protecting his family, loyal, protective and loving. If you split the jobs up between your girls, feeding, walking, playing or grooming? He’ll soon love them because he will see them as the person who does that thing for him.
The Lord sent you an angel.Just love him because he loves you Good luck Mr. Puddins and family👍😁🇺🇲🐕🦴🐊🦩🍔
Brother that dog chose you. I’m sure he was guided your way. I’m sure you guys are more of a blessing to him than you will ever know. I can’t even imagine what that beautiful boy has seen in his life. Let’s hope hotrod isn’t allergic to him. ❤
There is no love stronger then the love between a man and the dog he didn't want... welcome Theodore! ❤
Love this! The reason he follows you around is that he is making sure he follows the alpha. From his point of view, he is seeking approval to join the pack. The alpha sets the rules and expectations. He is learning how to be in the pack and respects the alpha. Great way to be as a family dog
Dogs can tell if someone is a good person, and God gives us what we need most times ! Thanks for taking him in pits are great dogs it’s all on how they are raised sir God bless you
Hell be on a shirt before you know it!! Merch merch merch!!!!
Hey Puddin. When my children were little we had a half shepherd half black lab. He was a big baby just like Theo. He was so laid back that my daughter would actually dress him up with flip-flops between his toes and just goofy crap like that.And that poor guy stood there and just took it all. I never had to worry when I was on the road traveling with my job.Of leaving my wife and children home without me there. He proved more than once that, You didn't mess around with the family . So you sure do have there yourself a protector of your family. Good luck with the dog and I hope little hot rod doesn't have an allergy to him.
Just remember it takes 3 months for a dog to fully settle in and be comfortable, get ready for lots more happiness and playing :)
you save that dogs life? People will love you for that. You’re a good dude.
The greatest joy in life is being a Dog Owner!
I can't wait for a Theo sticker! I have 2 mastiffs and they love to lay around the house all day, They play hard for about 10-15 minutes and the are ready for 2 hour nap.
You can bet there will be a whole line of Theo merch coming.
You'll be loved more than ever by just that simple move, remember what DOG spelled backwards is.... Peace & Respect towards you & all of your family.....🐕👍✌️🤠
Im a huge PFS fan but even a bigger fan of people adopting animals. Wife and i couldn't have kids and been married going on 29 years. Through all those years we've adopted many rescue dogs. Those animals will love you back just as much as you and your family love them. You have a bad day something isn't going right in the shop go hangout with your dog he'll bring a smile back to your face.
When we adopted our dog, she had heartworm and after the treatments her personality changed for the better. It take a lot out of them being positive and being lethargic, after your done with the treatments you will have a fun dog for sure
I've rescued 2 female staffies in my time & I will say they costed a bit of money & alot of dedication but they both were the best & loyalist dogs I've ever had.They both loved kids & were smarter than most adults they just find you...by prayers or not they still find you.Theo is one of those dogs.greetings from sth Australia guys.🦘🐨🐪🪃👍
Though we have always had dogs I was, for a long time, a cat hater. Well, my wife of 36 years was born and raised in a home that always had house cats. After being married for a few years and successfully avoiding having cats in our house this old 1/2 dead stray hobbled up in the yard and twirled around my wife’s legs. Outwards I protested but inwardly I felt so bad for the pitiful little thing. Fast forward 21 years later and I’m standing beside a little pet cemetery on our farm burying that same cat. Our children grew up with her and she was the best companion that my wife ever had after my wife was in a horrific auto accident and couldn’t walk for a year. I believe with all my heart that God sent my wife that cat to help her through the most difficult time in her life. I blubbered like a baby when I buried the cat . The non believer would just chalk it up to coincidence but I don’t believe that was the case at all.
Not only was Hot Rods prayer answered, but great parenting by you and your wife let you open your heart and home to grow your family in a great way. Enjoy the love
🙏🏻🙏🏻for Hot Rod that she is not allergic 🐶 to Theo. Awesome video, Puddin'. I really enjoyed it. Have an awesome day.
You can't buy love, but you can rescue it! 🐶
Not going to lie, I was with hot rod. You needed a dog. Felt lonely in the shop by yourself. So her praying for one. And your heart going out to a stray with a rough life and all the girls loving him. Just made my heart swell with happiness. Video jas filled me with nothing but smiles. So happy for you all
I can't wait for the slow motion dog-washing videos with you in your jean short cut offs. lmao
😂
You got yourself a good family dog now. Mine was chained to a tree, skinny and living in the Georgia heat and rain with nothing but a small dog house for the first 1 1/2 years of his life. The neighbors told the rescue squad that the families son would hit the dog with sticks and throw rocks at him. Now he's spoiled rotten. Sleeps with me, is always wagging his tail and can't even let me poop without being there. Your vet is right, they are the best dogs ever. Bless you for doing the right thing and prayers that Hot Rod is not allergic.
All dogs are good dogs, as long as you treat them right. Dogs are not security systems. They become part of family. Sincerely, The ASPCA
He is protecting the family he won't let nothing happen and he chose you brother thanks for being there
A man who is kind to his wife and animals is a good man. With his boy parts disconnected and a good bath, after awhile the allergy stuff might subside with Hot Rod.
That makes me think they should ask about what kind of shampoo is going to be used. Shampoo (all soaps and fragrances) can cause allergic reactions in HUMANS.
Me and my wife took in a dog a few years back. The person we got her from said they couldn't take her to their new housing situation. So i wasn't exactly thrilled but i came home from work to the dog. tried not getting attached but the dog took to me quicker then i could get my boots off. So i fell in love with her almost instantly she was skin and bone and obviously ill after a vet check we got her meds and a month later not much improvement. They thought she needed fixed because of the issues female dogs can have causing issues. So we went to have her fixed to hopefully remedy the issue. Sadly, they opened her up and found lots of cancer that the previous owner had to have known she had major issues if he had her at the vet as much as he said he did. The worst part is i wasn't able to say goodbye to the sweet girl she never came out of anesthesia. But the part that i will always remember is how happy she seemed and all the love she gave me and the wife even in all that pain. I truly hope the last 2 months of her life were the best. Moral of the story is even beaten and neglected when you give them love and they give it back its a done deal. I hope the family loves and enjoys the ole boy for many many years to come.
Unconditional love. He definitely had a ruff start to life but not anymore. Love this 🤎
Praise God for hot rods answered pray....he looks like he's always been there....he completed your family and shop....love it!
Dogs are the best judge of character they will let you know .
Thank goodness he found your family, I just imagine how people could treat a dog like that. Well done to all of you for getting him treated and taking him in.
You saved that precious boy. That shows how genuine you are. Seeing that Good Boy get love and nurturing made my heart happy, Bud.
Theo is a good boy, and he is smart. The way I see most dogs, they give you unconditional love. God sent him to HotRod because she believes in Him, and Godalso has unconditonal love, He decided you all needed an angel to watch over HotRod and your whole family. There a a few dogs who are lost, just like a lot of humans, mostly due to bad training. I like that when you were checking his undercarraige for ticks, he just rolled over and enjoyed all the belly rubs and pets you were giving him. Puddin, you rescue, rebuild and rehabiitate cars and trucks for a living. Its not a huge step away from rescuing a dog who needs it. Besides, he returns it all and will also heal parts of your heart you didn't know needed it. I mean, you need a shop dog. Case in point, Mortske and Duff are quite the team. If a dog can love Mortske, that's a huge statement for Mortske and for Duff, Ole Mortske might have a soul inside there after all. All jokes aside, God sent Theo to sweet little HotRod and answered her prayers, all on an Easter Sunday. There is a beautiful statement in there and your family have been further blessed.
I can tell you from someone who took a stray in, you have found one that will be loyal. And that smile says it all. Glad he found you and your family.
He loves ya Puddin..My Uncle Bill, God rest his soul, told me if kids and dogs love ya you're a damn good man..i remember that and believe it.. You're a good man and Theo and the kids love you .. God bless
Congratulations Puddin. It took a long time but you’ve finally been adopted.
Mr. Theo's got it made in the shade now! Thanks for adopting him Puddin' & family!
My German Shepard showed up in a very similar manner as Theo. She weighed 40 pounds and had scars all over from abuse. Fast forward a year and she's 105 pounds, healthy and the best damn dog I've ever had.
Pits are one of the most friendly, loyal, family dogs you can have. Good on you for giving him a chance to have a better life.
I promise you will not regret keeping that dog. 9 years ago I too adopted a pitbull, he too came from a questionable first home, a drug dealers house in the neibourhood I lived in. He was being sought out by bylaw presumeably because the cops didnt want him in that house when they later raided it. He had been abused, and Iused to bring him rope toys to play with when he was in the small back yard of a townhome. He was apparently a poor drug house dog, I remember the owners saying he wsnt scary at all. He was a big beutiful pitbull/boxer mix in brindle. I tell you, that dog showed his intelligence almost immediately. He could even open locked doors and let himself out and did on occasion. In 9 years he was the most loyal family pet you could ever want. He was playful, and not once in 9 year did I wake up not bent over like a pretzel due to him having to sleep so close to me, right in the small of my back every single night. Sadly, fraido had to be put down this past fall, he had a massive lump from cancer that had shattered his femur in his hind leg.I've cried myself to sleep every night since. I promise that little pittie will defend your family and watch out for your kids every single day of his life.I've often thought to get naother just like the one I had, but with pitties being the subject of provincial bans in nearly every province in Canada, and me leaving the safe haven city I am in, it would not e fair to another when Ileave outof province in a year or two. I never considered owning a pittie ever, they were always the "big scary banned dogs". Having known theone I had, my heart breaks for him every single day.
Theo is a beautiful pity! They are typically very loyal and loving, but if they sense danger, they will protect your family to the death! Blessing for you and the family!
He will protect Hotrod with his life.
Theo adopted Puddin, the girls aren’t going to like that, so the Puddin family will be getting another dog soon. Gonna be a two dog family.
I’m not a huge fan of dogs either man but that story breaks my heart I’d be taking him in as well..he is gonna be a great addition to the family man happy yall are keeping him 😢
Welcome Theo 🐕 These types of dogs are very gentle, they are not aggressive, sometimes it is the bad education of their owners, they are loyal, affectionate and very playful.
❤What a beautiful boy❤ You’ll be taking him every where you but please use a leash when in town or by a road. Best with a harness he can’t escape from. Nice bed you got him.❤ Brings me to tears you saving him.❤
Thank you for giving Theo a home!
Thank you Mister Puddin man. I am a believrr too. That dog will become your best friend. Thank you. Tim from Ohio.
I find it highly appropriate that Theo has patina.
You’re a good man Mr. Puddin’. World needs more like you.
Puddin' Jacob, Thanks so much for your words to keep me inspired in my Nova projects. Hope He Stays with Yall for a Lifetime. 😊
I recently lost my stray jack russell terrier , my daughter found her more than 2 years ago , she was starving ,full of heart worms and fleas. We brought her to the vet and put her though the treatments and had 2 wonderful years with her. God I miss her . I wish you the best of luck with Theo and hope you get many years of joy with him.
I think Hot Rod knows how to play Dads heart strings. If I wanted a dog when I was a kid I would use the prayer story in a heart beat.
You'll love that dog. I had a brendel half pit half boxer that looked just like him. He played the same way. Very Boxer in his mannerisms. That dog was tough as nails and sweet as pie.
Poor boy has had a ruff life . Now he is livin the good life . Awesome to see
He could never have asked for a better family to save him. 🙂🙏🏼
Best thing is a fence. Keeps him in ur yard. Keeps unwanted animals out. Has a little expense, but it is worth it in the end.
I’m not tearing up, you are! Thank you for taking him in.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE NEW SHOP DOG. I have a 3 year old pitty and she is the sweetest dog I ever had.
God bless you for taking in Theo. As I'm writing this my Pitbull is sleeping next to me and also my Old English Bulldog who are both rescues. If you give Theo a teaspoon of Omega-3 fish oil on his food daily, his coat will have more shine and it will help moisturize his skin. If you can't find any omega-3 fish oil, you can feed him a couple of Omega-3 capsule supplements like you'd buy for yourself at the pharmacy. Another way to help his coat and skin is by occasionally feeding him a can of sardines. If you notice his skin is dry in some places, you can rub some coconut oil directly on him to moisturize his skin, also another option is putting a teaspoon in with his food. As for washing him, if you don't want to take him inside the house to wash him in the bathtub you could use a clean wheelbarrow as a bath tub. Dawn liquid dish soap, the one that is blue is mild enough to clean him without nasty chemical like the ones found in dog shampoo you can get at places like Walmart.
Has my little pittie for 13 years. She was the best dog I’ve ever had. She never harmed a soul. Never cared about any other dog. Rarely ever had to put her on a leash to walk her around anyone or anything. Always minded her own business. Once they choose you they become very loyal and will protect you with their life. And I would have done the same for her. Glad he found a good home.
That's a great dog! Isn't funny how sometimes you are chosen instead of the other way around?!
Dogs are great companions. Unconditional love...❤
The stafford terrier was originally bred for being nanny’s m. It’s the idiot humans that have made them a problem. Hope to see Theo as a regular feature.
My Porkchop does the same when he is around a cat, licking lips wagging, and (being i raised him to be vocal) whining. Porkchop likes to sniff them lick them and squish them lol. Best way to work with a dog around animals is to socialize them with the animal that is used to a dog. Keep Theo tight and let him meet a few animals that know how to socialize and test the waters slowly. But knowing you he will be fine. Might be a project but I know you all can do it!
Animals do pick their own masters
And animals start to look like their masters. Duff Dawg is not pleased.
The best kind of dog to have. He will remember your family's kindness, and will always be a loyal friend. So happy fpr everyone.
I had to put my 15 year old Boston Terrier to sleep today, so this was very rough to watch but much needed. Thank you so much Puddin.
Usually when Puddin talks about his family, he starts to tear up. But man, I'm over here tearing up thinking about my cat. She was a stray that I've been feeding for five years, but I already had a cat and they didn't get along so she stayed outside. She is a sweetheart and would always join me in the shop. My other cat passed away about a year ago, and I was heartbroken. But the stray girl could tell and she ran into my house a few days later and won't leave. They call it the cat distribution system, but it can work for dogs too.
Theo completes the new house/shop. A great addition to your family. AND God does answer a little girl’s prayers. Happy for Theo and a good doggie Dad.
