03x07 - My New Dog

[bunniefuu]

[Jordan] Today, my daughter Salish
will begin fostering an adorable dog.

The only problem is we had no idea

that Salish would fall in love with him
so quickly.

He's perfect.

The family who said they were gonna
take this dog is now not taking the dog.

So the dog no longer has a home.

And now I have to make
an impossible decision.

I don't know what I'm gonna do
if I can't keep Moo.

I don't know what to do.

[Jordan] To learn how this story ends,
we need to go back to when it started.

Lauren is on her way to the shelter
to pick up the dog,

and I've set up a blind baking challenge
with Salish.

She thinks we are just baking cookies,

but they're actually treats
for the new dog.

She's gonna wear
noise-cancelling headphones

so she can't hear anything.

I'm gonna wear a blindfold
so I can't see anything.

And we have to complete this recipe.

Jordan's at the house distracting Salish
while I go pick up the dog.

And then I'm going back to surprise her.

What's the surprise?

You have to complete
the mystery challenge to find out.

The first thing we'll have to do to make
these yummy dog treats is make the dough.

-Are you ready?
-Yes!

Find the oats and make oat flour.

I'm gonna crush the bananas.
No, don't touch anything!

We're supposed to work together.

-Is this where the bowl is? Oh!
-Dad, stop! Stop!

Okay, that was my bad.

I thought you put a bowl there.
What am I mashing?

Salish!

-Salish can't hear me, can she?
-[Ari] Nope.

Oh, this is so fun.

Salish is gonna be so surprised
when we get this dog.

The thing about fostering dogs
which is super cool

is you take a dog that needs a home
and you let 'em live with you

until they find a real home
for the rest of their lives.

-That's what we're gonna do today.
-What?

Nothing. I wasn't talking.

Okay.

This dog was found as a stray
after living on the street for months.

His fur was really matted,

and he had a bunch of wounds
on his legs and shoulder.

And he's really, really underweight.

They shaved him down, took off his mats,

cleaned up his wounds,
and he had two surgeries.

So I'm hoping he's feeling better now.

[Jordan] I hope this dog is healthy

and is able to have
a great week with Salish.

But right now, I'm a little concerned
with my own health, cooking with Salish.

All right, Dad, try this. Open your mouth.

Is it good?

-Is that pumpkin?
-Yeah, I don't know.

-What's the point of this?
-We're making a surprise mystery treat.

[Salish] These look disgusting.

They look disgusting,
but they're gonna be really good.

Ari, this is the most disgusting thing
I've ever eaten.

-[Ari] Looks nasty.
-Want to try it?

[yelling] Salish,
Ari said he wants to try it.

[Ari] No, no, I'm good, I'm good.

-Don't make me fire you.
-[Ari] Ooh. Ooh. Uh…

Use your hand to mix this in.

Oh! Oh!

Did we have to use hands for this, Salish?

Salish?

Say has been wanting a big dog forever.

[Salish] It's really hard
for the huskies to get adopted

because they're large dogs
and they have a lot of energy.

But come on, I just met him,
and he already wants to cuddle.

-Hudson, let's go get a dog.
-No.

-I guess we're getting a dog.
-No, no…

After a week, they will have
a family who can adopt him.

And that's the perfect amount of time

to see whether Salish is up
for caring for a big dog.

Boomer is staying at my parents' house,

so this will be the perfect opportunity

to shower this dog
with our full attention.

[Jordan] This is taking way too long.

If Lauren gets back
and these treats aren't baked,

then that will ruin the entire plan
to surprise Salish.

We need to switch so I can see again,
and we can get these treats in the oven.

-Take my blindfold.
-Okay.

Oh, wow! That's bright.

-You're welcome.
-Put your blindfold on.

We gotta keep going.

-Did I make it?
-That was really good.

You didn't even leave any shell.

We're here
at Sherman Oaks Veterinary Group.

They've been such a nice hospital
to work with, so let's go!

[Jordan] Lauren is about to meet the dog

we're surprising Salish with
for the next week.

[emotional music playing]

Hi!

Oh my gosh, he's so sweet.

Oh my gosh. Hi.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, he's such a sweet boy.

Know what would be so good
in a cookie? Carrots.

Oh, give me a carrot.

[Jordan] No, no, no…

[muffled] Did it go in the bowl?

Yeah. That's good. Just… That's fine.

We picked up the dog, and I really hope
that Jordan hasn't spoiled the surprise.

Salish and Hudson, and Jordan too,
are all gonna fall in love with him.

I just checked my messages.
Lauren's on her way. We gotta hurry up.

Okay, Salish. I think we're
pretty much ready to bake these.

-Gonna put them in the oven.
-Do you need help?

They're in.

We just got up to the house.
I'll bring the dog in to surprise Salish.

-Okay, we made these yummy cookies.
-[Salish] They look disgusting.

-Why don't we taste it?
-I'm not trying this.

I think that'll explain
what the surprise is.

Three, two, one.

See?

Did these taste like
something that a human would like?

I surely hope not.

These are actually dog treats.

-Why do we need dog treats?
-This is homemade treats for a dog.

-Can you show me what the surprise is?
-I think it's pretty obvious by now.

Take this treat and go outside,
because Mom is waiting with a new dog.

-She wants you to meet him.
-Wait, really?

She's excited to meet you.

-He's a foster dog.
-Oh, yeah, for sure.

That means we're just gonna
keep him for a little while,

and then he's going to an actual home.

[emotional music continues]

Hi!

[Jordan] I know I wasn't
super clear with Salish,

but the plan was to foster the dog
for one week

until his new family
could finalize the paperwork.

[Salish] Did you like it?

I think he liked it.

[Jordan] But I just got a very surprising
call from the shelter.

The family who said they were gonna take
this dog is now not taking the dog.

So the dog no longer has a home.

I don't think we're ready
for a second dog, a big one.

-What a good boy.
-[Jordan] Argh!

She's having so much fun with this dog.

[Lauren] Seems to love to…
to be with people.

If we got a second dog, Salish would
have to be the one in charge of that dog.

We just don't have time to do it.

And I don't know if she's ready
to take care of a 50-pound dog.

Can you go upstairs?

[Jordan] This is a massive twist.

We thought we would only
foster him for a week,

but now we have to decide
if we're keeping him forever.

This is actually so difficult,
because on one hand,

you can see how much
this dog trusts Salish completely.

-[Salish] Stay.
-[Lauren] It's different with a big dog!

[Jordan] But I'm just not sure she's ready
for such a big commitment.

[Salish] Sit.

[gasps] Good boy!

[Jordan] To test Salish
and her commitment to this dog,

Lauren and Salish
are going to the pet store,

and Salish will be responsible
for picking out everything the dog needs

while he stays with us for a week.

Lauren also can't help Salish.

Let's see if Salish can find everything
she needs to take care of this dog.

[Jordan] The things Salish needs to get
is a crate, bed, leash, harness,

dog tag, toys, a bowl, and a gate.

Let's see if she can figure it out.

Mom, this one's good, right?
Wanna tell me?

No? Okay.

I think we should get extra-large.

-What do you want? He keeps leaning on me.
-Aww.

Mom, please can he be Moo?
I just really wanna call him Moo.

-[Lauren] Okay.
-He's called Moo. Come here, Moo!

I just got a call from Lauren.
Salish is fully in love with this dog.

Has named him Moo?

Moo is a name she's been waiting for years
to give to her next dog,

and I think she thinks this is that dog.

[groans]

I'm actually at a crossroads here.

I thought we were making a really adorable
video about fostering a dog for a week.

Suddenly, we have to make this
decision about whether to keep him.

I know what Salish is gonna say,
but I don't know what I'm gonna wanna do.

Say goodnight!
Do you like this one? He's sitting on it.

Kind of need some help. Where is the cart?

-[Lauren] Salish!
-I feel like this is a good size. Right?

I found this, which is so cute,
and we're gonna engrave. M-O-O. Moo.

What's this? Oh, he likes it!

Look at how many cute things we got.
Ready?

We have to order the harness online.
But I got everything here we could get?

-Yes.
-Okay, let's go check out.

I learned how to wink. Ready?

[Ari] Okay, that was good.

-Thanks.
-[Ari] Yeah.

Come on, Moo.

I love dogs, but I think
what a lot of people don't realize

is how much responsibility they are,
especially a big one.

As the week went by,
Salish and Moo got even closer,

and she took him everywhere.

He's perfect, so we need to keep him.

She is having an amazing time
with Moo right now,

but it's summer,

and when school starts,

I'm not sure she'll actually have time
to take care of Moo.

I'd love for us to keep Moo,
but he just may be too much for us.

He's got a lot of energy
and he's very big.

Salish doesn't know yet that the family
that was going to adopt Moo dropped out,

so Moo could be ours forever.

Moo, come here.

Sit. Sit.

Look, look, look.

She's training him how to sit.

I want her to be happy. But I don't know
if we're ready to get a big dog.

It's a lot of work.

Here's the problem. Tomorrow,
we have to bring Moo back to the shelter.

Our fostering time is over

unless we decide
to adopt him by the end of the day.

I'm not ready to make that decision,

but I have to at least
tell her it's an option

'cause she's just fallen in love with him.

-Hey, little girl.
-Hi.

-Say, I have something to tell you.
-What?

-You know how we're fostering Moo?
-Yeah.

-And a family's gonna adopt him?
-Yeah.

Well, actually, that family doesn't want
to adopt him anymore.

-Wait, really?
-So he's actually available for adoption.

Wait, actually?

-Yes. They--
-Wait, really?

Yes, but, wait, wait, wait. But…
This is really hard for me.

I know that you're in love with him.
He's so sweet.

But I don't actually know
if we're ready to adopt another dog,

and especially such a big dog,
and I think…

He's gonna get a great home,
whether or not it's us.

-But I'm not sure it should be us.
-No, Dad, why?

-Tell me your concerns.
-Here's my issues.

You don't have enough time
to take care of him,

but we can't take care of a second dog,
so it would be on you.

Don't do that to me right now.

Oh my God.
Okay, this isn't helping me at all.

Big dogs are very expensive,
and they're hard to groom.

They make tons of messes.

I think maybe another family
would just have more time.

-And be able to do more.
-No! Dad, we need him.

-Wha… But I don't--
-No, no, Dad. Dad, Dad.

Just give me an hour, okay? An hour.
I'll figure everything out.

Come on, Moo.

-[clicking tongue] Moo!
-"Give me an hour"?

-What are you gonna do in an hour?
-[Salish] You'll see!

Guys, I'm not going to let him go.
Look at how cute he is.

All I need to do is convince my dad
that I can take care of Moo.

So my plan is I'm gonna do
a series of challenges to prove it.

I'm going to address each of his concerns,

and hopefully, that will be enough
to convince him to let us keep Moo.

Because if I don't by the end of the day,
we might lose Moo forever.

You don't think that I'm gonna be able
to take care of Moo before school, right?

-Right. I don't think so.
-Okay, now I'm gonna prove it to you.

And I'm gonna get ready for school
and walk him in 30 minutes.

-There's no way you can.
-I can, bro.

-It took you an hour to get ready bef--
-No, let me start.

-I can do it. It's fine.
-Okay.

All right, ready?
Three, two, one. Go, go, go.

Pfft.

First thing I do is wash my face.

She already wasted 40 seconds.

She's not able to do this in 30 minutes.

It took her an hour every morning
to get ready for school last year.

All right, come on, let's go, let's go.
I barely have any time.

How is she gonna do half the time
and add a dog to it?

The whole point I'm trying to make is
that Salish is too busy

to take care of a huge dog
every single day.

-Come on.
-I just don't think she's ready.

[Collin] There's no way
you do this in time.

-Oh my gosh, yes there is.
-[Collin gasps] Oh, hi, Moo.

I guess what Salish is going to do
is come up with challenges

to prove to me that she can handle
having Moo every day of her life.

That's awesome. I see
how committed she is to keeping Moo.

I'm still not convinced
that's gonna help me make a decision.

-[Collin] Say, hurry up!
-I'm trying.

-[Collin] What else do you have to do?
-So much! I have to do my makeup.

The rest of my skincare.
I have to do everything, Collin.

-[Collin] Say, we do not have time, dude.
-I'm aware.

[Jordan] She's back.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.
You're so distracted.

-No, I got it.
-Slowly getting…

But it's been four and a half minutes.

-Okay!
-All you've done is wash your face. Dude.

Doing the rest of my skincare now.

We all know that you're not gonna be able
to get yourself up earlier

and that you're gonna end up
having to do this all in 30 minutes.

-I know.
-Yet you're that slow with your skincare?

Yeah. Moo is trying to convince my dad.

-Look at… Okay, this is like…
-[Salish] Okay.

-[Jordan] This is…
-All right, I like, have no time.

What am I supposed to do with this?
Watch this, watch.

[chuckling]

Okay. No, everything's falling.

You don't have to wear makeup to school.

-Yes, I do. To school?
-You're wasting time.

-You'd rather do makeup than have a dog?
-No, but…

-That's the choice you're making.
-Where did the beauty blender go?

Dad, look how cute he is.
Let's just adopt him.

We… I… Argh!

How's my makeup look, Moo?

-I know, terrible, right?
-[whines]

You haven't even walked
or fed your dog yet, Say.

-Did I say your dog?
-Yeah.

-I mean Moo. I mean Moo.
-No.

-You haven't even walked or fed Moo yet.
-No, you mean my dog.

Let me lock in.

Should I start over?

[laughing] Oh my God. She's not…

You know what?
It looks terrible, but I think I'm fine.

-Let's go downstairs.
-Wait. Whoa, whoa!

-What about your outfit?
-I would wear this.

-You wouldn't wear that to school!
-Yes, I would.

-You just don't wanna spend time--
-I would!

Oh, no, no!

Come on, Moo.

I'll only give him a little bit
of dry food. We already fed him.

[Jordan] Salish is only pretending to do
her morning routine for the challenge.

She's not actually going
to school right now.

-[Collin] Have you made a lunch?
-Whatever. I gotta find breakfast.

I'm not gonna make breakfast today.

No, actually, I insist. You do not win
this challenge if you don't eat breakfast.

-Okay, okay.
-That's good parenting. Come on.

I know you haven't gone for a walk yet.
I get it.

I know you want to,
but Salish is kind of taking her time.

-I'm not taking my time.
-Just mango?

-Yeah, and it's--
-You call this breakfast?

If you have a dog and you're rushing,
everything else gets compromised.

-You're drinking out of a blender.
-Oh my gosh.

-You gotta walk Moo, Say.
-[Salish] Moo!

She has less than ten minutes
to get out the door for school

or she loses this first challenge.

You gotta go until he poops.

All right, go, Moo, go.
Come on, let's go, let's go.

We gotta convince my dad.

Salish isn't even back from the walk yet
and there's only 30 seconds left.

Oh my gosh, guys. Big dogs are
a lot faster, but come on, Moo.

Come on. Look.
Do you like this grass? Come on.

I gotta get out the door in a couple of
minutes, so we gotta start going home.

All right, Moo, come on.
Go to the bathroom. Let's just go.

Look, I don't want to seem like
I'm being super difficult.

It's just that we travel a lot.

We're able to bring Boomer,
'cause he's so small, on the plane.

If we travel with Moo,
we can't bring him on the plane,

which means we either
have to drive everywhere

or find a dog sitter to live here
and take care of him.

So there's just a lot of considerations
about having a super big dog.

Salish is very, very busy,
so her schedule's gonna be really hard.

And yet he's really sweet
and she loves him, so I'm absolutely torn.

I have to make a decision
by the end of the day.

Our foster term ends tonight.

Tomorrow, we're expected to bring him back
unless we wanna keep him.

So this decision is, like, a now thing.

Moo just used the bathroom.

I'm really hoping
this will convince my dad.

If not, I have a couple
more challenges, so let's go.

[Jordan] Hey, little girl. Argh!

Oh, okay, okay. He did his business.

-Okay, I gotta get my backpack.
-[Jordan] He's just waiting for her.

-It's here. Let's go.
-[Collin] Okay. Let's go.

Not even close.

-Bye, Moo, I love you. Can I go?
-Go ahead.

-Bye-bye!
-All right, bye!

-[Jordan] All right. See ya.
-[Salish] Bye!

That was awesome.

Parents, come on, are you with me here?

Like, it's important
to teach your kid responsibility

and to make them really understand
how much work it is

to have a dog
if they're taking care of them.

-Oh, you're back.
-[Salish] Mm-hm.

-So, how do you think you did?
-Really good.

Except you were ten minutes over.

Let's just do the next challenge.

It's even more important,
and I will for sure convince you.

Okay, let's see.

I am really impressed by how hard
Salish was trying in that challenge,

but she went way over time,

so I'm obviously still not convinced.

So you know how you were concerned
because how dogs are super expensive?

-And they have to be groomed?
-Yep.

-So I found this dog groomer place.
-[Jordan] Uh-huh.

And basically,
if I ever need money to pay for Moo,

I can just work here
and I'll learn how to groom him.

Okay. Let's see.

-Looks like he's ready to start.
-Yeah, I think so. Come on, Moo.

Dad, can you please carry Moo into there?

-Oh, you need me to carry him?
-Yeah.

When you have a big dog,
it's hard to carry them.

-Yeah.
-If you have to carry him…

-Okay, I get it.
-I'm gonna give you this one.

He's actually not that heavy now

because he didn't eat for months
on the street. Ugh.

Yeah, but we're gonna get him heavier
when we have him.

-We haven't decided we're having him.
-We have.

We haven't, actually!

Good boy.

And then you put a leash on him
so he doesn't get out of the tub.

Salish is gonna be a great mom one day.

She's got a lot of maternal instincts.
She's being very protective of him.

Moo, are you excited to meet Boomer?
You're gonna meet Boomie, your brother.

See, Dad, he loves this.
He's gonna be the best dog for us.

Get nice and sudsy.

See, Dad, this is awesome,

because then we can wash them together
and both have fun.

-Oh, like a bonding time.
-Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, but if we don't have Moo,
what, no more bonding?

-Then I hate you.
-[record scratch]

-Oh! Okay, that was pretty harsh.
-No bonding.

-They give you unconditional love.
-I know!

I know. He's just a huge dog.

-She has a lot of busy responsibilities.
-No, I don't. It's fine.

We're keeping him.

All right, we gotta dry him now.

Guys, my dad's not here right now,
but he has to let me keep Moo.

Oh my gosh, I cannot live without him.
He's so cute.

Honestly, she's doing a great job at this.

Look at how comfortable Moo is with her.

Like, it… Obviously, they're connected.

Obviously, they're bonding.
Obviously, he loves her.

But I don't necessarily know
if she has the time to take care of him.

That's my issue.

Salish is going to have to take
full responsibility for Moo

if she wants to keep him.

If I say no, it's gonna break my heart.

Dad, look, he's happy.
Doesn't he look good?

-Wow--
-[record scratch]

No, not my hair!

Cut, actually, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!

My mom is taking Moo to the vet
to get a couple of shots.

And while she's doing that,
I'm gonna try and convince my dad.

The next challenge is, you wanna make
sure I can keep the house clean, right?

Yeah, because you go
to school first thing,

then you go to gymnastics
after only 20 minutes' break.

There's no way you can clean a mess
if Moo makes one.

What if you go downstairs and make
the biggest mess that you can make,

and then I have 20 minutes to clean up?

I'll do this challenge, but I'm gonna hire

the world's strictest mom to come in
after you're done cleaning.

-To make sure you did it right.
-Okay.

I'm gonna hate doing this,
'cause I hate messes.

A dog could get into the laundry
and then dump it all over the place.

[lively music playing]

-[Collin] What was that?
-This might be harder than I thought.

Yah! So the scenario is
she comes home from school,

Moo has been left alone,
he's wrecked the house completely.

Salish has to clean it before gymnastics
and can't be late.

D'oh!

-[Collin] Was that glass?
-Collin, I might be cooked.

Tips this over.

Whoa. You know dogs do this.

Dog treats everywhere, right? Poop bags.

[Salish] I hate messes,
but if this is gonna convince my dad,

it's worth it to get Moo.

Oh.

All right. Let's go get Salish.

You have 20 minutes to clean it,
then the strictest parent comes.

-Yeah?
-Three, two, one, go!

-[record scratch]
-[Salish] Oh… my… gosh.

Let's go, let's go!

Waah!

She's lost 30 seconds just reacting to it.

I don't know what to do with this, Collin.

You have 19 minutes.
You're stepping all over the glass.

-Come on, Collin.
-No, no, no, no, no, no. no!

Nobody's helping you, Say.

I'm trying to make sure
that you can clean big messes.

I guarantee, at some point,
Moo's gonna make one.

Stop distracting me, Dad.

Moo wouldn't even do this.
This is so unrealistic.

I don't see it.

-[Collin] Do you know how to use a broom?
-You use it like this, don't you?

If she set up all these challenges
to convince me that she can handle Moo,

I love the initiative on that,
but she's not actually convincing me.

All right, I'm gonna fix these flowers.
Oh my…

-[screams] No!
-[Collin] Hey!

Like that, let's go.
Get the broom, get the broom.

I love that she's doing this and making
an effort, but she's running out of time.

Oh my gosh, dirty footprints.

-It never rains in LA, Dad.
-It rains sometimes.

How would Moo even get pizza out?

-You gotta clean the mess.
-Okay.

Perfect.

How are there so many clothes here?

Okay. It's good.

-[Collin] What if the strictest mom sees?
-She won't see it.

Five minutes!

Wow, this room actually looks pretty good.

The world's strictest mom could be here
any minute. I need to get this done.

Wait, Ari, she might do it.

Wait, she's cleaning
like she's crazy. How?

It took forever to clean up,
but I think I got it all.

I have to make a decision soon.
I don't know what to do.

It's such a huge commitment.
[sighs heavily]

That's good. All right.

Two minutes, Say!

I have one more thing that can maybe
convince him if this doesn't work,

but I really hope this works.

Nine, eight,

seven…

Time!

Impressive for 20 minutes.

I don't know if you cleaned it
as well as you need to have cleaned it.

We're gonna get the strictest parent
in here, and then see what they say.

Introducing world's strictest mom.

-[Salish] Hi!
-Hello.

Your job is to look
through the entire house

and let us know if there's anything
out of place, any dirt anywhere.

This woman is really particular.

[mom] This has not been fluffed.

This chair should be turned in.

Look at this carpet here.
There's a piece of filth.

She's strict.

Give me a break. I need to get this dog.
You have to be really nice, okay?

I'm here to do a job, not to be nice.

You mentioned a dog.
I seem to have found evidence of a bird.

This appears to be a feather.

I see moisture on the countertop.

-[Salish] A little moisture…
-Probably contains bacteria.

No bacteria, look.

-Doesn't taste like anything.
-[gasps dramatically]

Look what I found.

It's one popcorn kernel.
Here, can I have it?

Tastes totally normal,
that's how clean the floor is.

If this strict mom
gives her a failing grade,

then she's failed another challenge.

-What do I do?
-[Collin] Make her like you.

-Okay.
-[Collin] Gotta do something.

-Would you like a glass of water, perhaps?
-Mmph!

I don't trust the water here.

What is this?

Ow! I hurt myself on this glass.

-[Salish] It's a small piece of glass.
-[mom sighs]

There's this amazing dog
and I love him so much.

I'll do anything for you.
Please just be nice.

What is she whispering?

I can't have a dog
in a dangerous environment

with glass on the ground.

Look at this photo of him.

He's such an amazing dog.

-Under watered.
-It's not under watered.

[Salish] Oh, it is a little under watered.

You can't take care of a plant
and you wanna take care of an animal?

I can take care of animals.

This is like my baby.

You've probably had a dog before
and you probably love him or her.

And that kind of connection is so special,
and I really think I have that with Moo.

[mom] Hmm.

-What's… Since…
-Oh no, we don't have to talk about that.

Oh, we don't go look in there.
This is actually a fake door.

[suspenseful music playing]

I've made my full inspection.

The house is… clean.

Congratulations.

-Yes!
-[fanfare plays]

Whoo! Yes!

I'm not that strict.

That dog is super cute,
and I hope she gets to keep him.

Oh my gosh, I told you
I could clean the house in 20 minutes.

And that was a bigger mess
than Moo would ever make.

Okay, congratulations.

All right, Dad,
what is the final decision?

You have tonight to decide.
Please tell me.

-[sighs] Say, I'm sorry--
-Ah-ah-ah!

Don't decide. I have one more thing.
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

-What are we doing?
-I think I need five minutes to prepare.

-Can you go upstairs?
-Okay.

-Actually, all the way upstairs.
-Upstairs? Okay.

Ari, seriously, what's goin' on?
What's she doing?

-[Ari] What? I have no idea.
-You know.

-I'm gonna send a text quick. Hold on.
-[Ari] Okay.

-Collin. Collin, this is actually bad.
-[Collin] What?

Bro, California Doodle Rescue just posted
a picture of Moo on their Instagram,

and all the comments are like,
"Oh my gosh, I want to adopt him."

"Oh my gosh, he's so cute."

If I don't convince my dad to adopt Moo
right now, then we're gonna lose Moo.

This is so bad.

-[Collin] How good's your presentation?
-Pretty good.

All right, we gotta go now.
Dad, I'm ready!

-I'm here.
-Say, what's go…

Oh, I see.

-I love that photo of you guys.
-[Salish] All right.

-[Jordan] I see what you're doin'.
-[snaps fingers] Next slide.

-What? Oh, I see, okay.
-[Salish] Okay!

I have some questions for you.
Be honest.

-Ever feel like the house is too quiet?
-Yeah.

-Do you ever feel lonely?
-No.

Would it be nice for someone
to always be happy to see you?

I can answer this for you.

-Yes, because no one in this family is.
-Uh…

-Do you ever feel this family's too small?
-No, I think…

-When's the last time you made a friend?
-I make lots of friends, all the time.

Like, what's the last one's name?

Anas, five years ago.

[Salish] Did you answer yes
to every question?

-I didn't--
-[Salish] Of course you did, Dad.

I prepared something for you.

I'll be in charge
of every part of caring for him.

I will do everything I can.

When I get home from school,
I'll feed him a small dinner.

Mom will feed him
the rest of the dinner at night, right?

-Mmm.
-I'll feed him breakfast.

And walk him in the morning
and clean up after him.

I'm so excited to grow up with him.

I mean, I'm 15,
but I'll have him until I'm 18.

What? Eight… Hold on. Wait.

-You're leaving him with us…
-I meant--

-Oh, okay. I was about to--
-I'm bringing him to college too.

All the challenges in my life,
he'll be there next to me.

Imagine I go to college and I get a job,

he'll always be there with me,
and I'll always have him.

And he'll get to be the best friend
with Boomer.

If we don't adopt him, then, like,
what other dog are we gonna have?

He's perfect.

And you promised that
we would get a dog in September.

-I did?
-You did.

[chuckles] Okay.

[Salish] Now,
I want you to think about Moo.

He's been wandering on the streets alone
for months, scared.

He has no family, no home, no food.

He's been hungry. He's been tired.

Imagine what that
would feel like, to live like that.

And now he has a great home
with an amazing sister,

like, incredible sister, like…

She's like the top, best sister.

The dad is, like, fine,
but the sister, oh my gosh.

-He loves the sister.
-She's a good sister.

And then you just get ripped away
from them. How would you feel?

Dad, I've spent the whole week with Moo
and I know he's the perfect dog.

-I love him so much.
-I know.

So Dad, what do you say?

Look at that face with his toy.

Aw, look how cute he is. Come on, Dad.

And you've gotta kind of hurry up,

because they've already put him
on Instagram, if you don't know.

I do.

Okay, so?

[emotional music playing]

Okay, I'm gonna just tell you
this one thing, Say.

I've seen all your challenges.

I see all the effort,
the whole week you've put in.

I'm just saying,
you convinced me about 30 minutes ago.

I'm gonna send a text real quick.

I just got a text from Jordan


So we adopted him. He's ours.

I'm so excited to see Salish's face.
She's gonna be thrilled.

He's your dog.

-What? Yes, yes, yes!
-He is, yes.

-Really? Actually?
-Yes, and guess what?

He's outside waiting for you to come in.

-Really?
-Yes.

-Go get him!
-Moo!

-Ready? Go get your sister.
-Come on, Moo!

[joyful music playing]

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Hi.

I made a final decision
about 30 minutes ago,

but let's be honest,
I've known the whole week

because they're perfect for each other.

I mean, just look.

Hi, baby! [kisses]

Yeah, you're officially ours, Moo.

I can't wait to grow up with him.

[Jordan] And Boomer has a new best friend.
