That breeder really should be investigated. That’s two puppies he took to be put down for the same deformity, and presumably from the same parents. There’s something we’re not seeing going on here, not to mention immediately taking them to be put down is not a good indicator.

There are many, many bad sides to social media, but the fact that this family was able to achieve such wonderful results - in the face of so much negativity - through social media connections is SO very encouraging.

It sounds to me there’s a breeder out there that needs to be beat about the head and shoulders. Thank God there are people unlike the breeder who actually care for and love their animals and want to see them thrive regardless.

Who saw one of the dodos videos randomly and then completely got addicted?

I'm so glad that Forest got the medical attention he needed and that he has a sweet loving home. It's such a sweet heartfelt story that has happy ending to boot.

The fact that so many people came together to do everything possible for Forest just gives me some light and hope in us as people, what a beautiful baby and amazing people, I wish him (and everyone) Truly the best

So lucky his dad is strong enough to carry him everywhere

Isn’t anybody going to thank that great Vet? the only one willing to operate on Forrest? Thank you Doc👏👍....way to go Forrest , new Dad and fosters!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Am I the only one that thinks Forrest's ears are so cute? He's such a cutie! I'm so glad that a vet was found that could operate on him. Seeing such a cute and happy dog find a loving home and being surrounded by such good people is such a blessing. 💕

So many wonderful people came together to give Forrest the life he deserves. And it certainly helps that this big goofy and sweet dog was adopted by someone strong enough to carry him when needed! Wishing Tyler and Forrest many happy years and adventures together.💕

This could have also been a "Soul Mates" story, because each and every person and animal in this story were connected so well!

I screamed with laughter when you said: "Forrest is out of the woods." Think about it! What wonderful dogs Great Danes are!

Whenever I feel like being in need of heart warming videos...I just check out the latest posts of The Dodo!!!

Great Danes are gentle giants I have on myself and he is the best thing in the world

Adorable Forrest! The Veterinary school at OSU saved my Davis almost 20 years ago. Have you ever seen a 17 hands tall horse in a full body harness?

If you look hard enough, there's going to be that one vet that works miracles like the vet who treated Forrest and Lumen. Glad those two got their second chance at life!

As soon as I heard Lumen's name I remembered her. Hers was such a story of hope and love ❤️ It was so lovely that he got to stay with her and her incredible mums during his time in Oregon. That breeder should be banned from owning animals, especially from breeding them. The pups must come from the same mother and/or father (depends on which one carries the defective gene). Knowing what happened with Lumen, neither parent should have been breeding again! Much as I obviously support Forrest's right to life (and he's clearly landed squarely on those poor paws with such love around him), I don't believe he should have been conceived in the first place. I say this as someone with disabilities, some of which have genetic components. There are days when I wish _I_ had never been conceived. But at least I understand what's wrong with me. Please understand that all my anger is aimed at the breeder, not the parent dogs, and certainly not the pups or anyone who has anything to do with them! For them, I only have love and respect. As for Tyler, I'd say that he's a keeper! What a lovely guy, and he and Forrest are clearly made for each other 💕

Strive to treat animals and people the way you’d wanna be treated… these are the lives that need help the most, God bless this nice woman for taking Forest in

Not only did this dog find people who did what it took to get his feet operated on, then he found someone loved him so much that he adopted him. It’s wonderful that his new owner is strong enough to carry him when he needs too. Just all around a win/win/win.

This is an incredible story. One side wanted to be done with this little guys "issues", yet a whole world of better people chose otherwise. Tyler my man, you are a special dude. That bond between you two is amazing. Great Danes have such a short natural life, that I have no doubt you two will fulfill every single moment of happiness and love for each other !!

What a perfect name and little boy he is. You are a Saint for fostering and caring for this precious fur baby! ❤️

The "will & affection " is truly amazing with everyone involved !!

"NO ONE'S gonna LOVE HIM MORE THAN ME......" THAT pretty much QUALIFIES IT....DON'T YA THINK😂😂🐾💖 Great Danes are TOP DOG to me...love'em 🐾💖 Texas Nana 🤠 Psalm 91

🤧 aww he's such a gorgeous big boy, bless you all for helping him, get better and to get his forever home, great work done by all. Another great video thanks 💖😁

Such a beautiful dog .

Those ears… I can’t stop smiling 😁🥰💕

Ok…I sometimes cry watching these videos, but I had to rewind several times, cause I cried all the way thru. First sad tears, then happy tears. Gosh cannot believe the numbers of people involved with saving this beautiful dog! And that he ended up with THE BEST DAD ever! Like really a perfect match.

Great story. Like the lady said: "It takes a village." It just shows you what is possible when you get the right people together. They can overcome the impossible.

Bless your heart Stay safe and be Blessed

I'm so thrilled with the recovery and happy adoption. What gets me frustrated these stories is what happened with the people who caused the abuse and/or neglect so it doesn't happen again? Obviously there may be an issue with the breeders with having this outcome with 2 puppies of different litters. Have they been investigated or the vet working with them to prevent this in the future? Thank goodness the original vet found alternatives rather than euthanasia per breeder request. Anyone else get upset that this isn't being addressed in the videos? I want to know if justice was served!!

Great Danes are hands down the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dogs ever. My Duncan was my angel.

Schön das ihr de Hund 🐕 🐕 🐕 so toll aufgenommen habt er liebt das Leben 🐾🐾👍👍👍😍😍😍😍

You should have named him Clifford. Remember he was such a little puppy? and the little girl and her family loves him so much he became the world's biggest doggy..

7:08...he's just living the life of being an adorable puppy 😍

In this world of cruelty, I see this videoes to realise that there are still people who has soft heart for others...

This was definitely a special dog rescue and adoption!! First all: the time, money, and energy in fixing his medical problems...and second: finding a dude loving and big enough to care for and lug this giant dog around!!! Some special guardians angels were absolutely working overtime in this case!! Kudos to all!!!!!!

Smart, sneaky gal, gradually introducing this guy to his soul mate dog. They're both blessed to be together, dad and 🐶🐕 doggie💕

Great team work humans! This man who adopted is not only humble, let's be honest he's a big man, capable of carrying around a Great Dane puppy who's only getting larger by the day. How exciting to find a soft sandy surface for Forrest to successfully Run! Gonna have a great life now!

That big boy has some serious ears. :-) So glad someone took the time to solve his problem, find his sisters and give him a loving home! Major tail wags!!

THANK YOU for giving this BEAUTIFUL “BABY” boy a chance! And THANK YOU Tyler, for TAKING the chance and adopting him. It takes SPECIAL people to do GREAT AND WONDERFUL THINGS that MOST people wouldn’t. I believe that this was meant to happen, and MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL the people that have helped and made this happen! YOU’RE ALL ANGELS 👼 in my book!!

Love and respect to all who participated in Forrest’s recovery ❤️

Ahhhhh!!!! I love Forrest!! I’ve been following him on IG since the beginning. He is a precious boy ♥️♥️♥️

Well he's a fit, strong, playful personality and tall guy. So they all help to help carry and interact with Forest.

It's so wonderful to see many people put in their hearts and souls to help support this little guy. 💕 So much hope and lights still excited around the world. 🥰 Very happy for Forest to be back with his amazing furmom and even got an amazing furdad for himself! 🙌

My heart melted when she said they named him Forest. I'm super happy that social media was able to help the way it did! What a great ending to a sweet story!

I know the feeling when people come together. I have done rescues and so many adoption and stories like this BRINGS ME HAPPY TEARS ALL THE TIME. LOVE ❤️ TO THE NEW OWNER OF THIS NEW FUR BABY. BLESSINGS !!

What a WONDERFUL group of humans Forrest has !!

I love you all! Thank you for your kindness and generosity!!!!

This is one of those special rescue stories that will reduce you to tears...From happiness...God bless all the people in the world who rescue & care so very, very much about animals in need...Such an especially sweet & heartwarming story....

The fact that forest was not only able to get paws fixed and adopted is pretty special. Go live your best life Forrest!

Forest will have a wonderful life with his dedicated daddy 💖 Thank you everyone for fighting to save little darling Forest.

I got a 2.3 pound, 13 week old Black Lab mix. It's easier to say what wasn't wrong with him. After many, many months and many, many dollars, he was all in one piece. It was the best thing I ever did in my life, because he was the best dog anyone could ever ask for. Rescuing an animal with issues isn't hard, fixing them is a little hard, but what you get in return is something money can't buy. 10/10 would highly recommend!!

This made me smile!! Love his big floppy ears!! Glad he got the help he needed!!

Such a beautiful story! Very glad that Forrest came to a 360! If it wasn’t for the foster parents, he wouldn’t be here right now! I hope those vets that complained & tried to just put him down, watch this video! Way to go Forrest 👍🐾🐾🐶💗

Great Dane's are just fantastic, they don't realise their size. I have my 3rd rescue Dane, Jackson, he came to me at 3 years old with no training, socialisation or lead training. He was toilet trained and believe me that was a major bonus!! They tend to bond with the person that's with them the most and they're just couch potato's most of the time. Forest is just beautiful and so blessed to have been rescued by these incredible people who just want the best for him. My Jackson weighs 80kg now but he was only 65kg when he came to me. He's a big lad and I can see Forest is going to be the same. Jackson will be 7 this year and I love him so much, just like Tyler loves Forest. I wish them both a long and happy life together with love and blessings from Scotland.

You are special how you and Forrest love each other and how much you've helped him too. Very special you are.

Forest is so lucky to have so many people that care about him and help him to live his life to the fullest💜

God Bless Forrest, Lumane & EVERYONE Who helped rescue these sweet babies🙏❤️

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THAT POOR PUPPY! PERFECT HOME FOR HIM!!!!!!

If all dogs go to heaven, then I believe for an absolute certainty that their heaven is an off leash beach. Nowhere on earth have I seen a pup happier.

This just melted my heart. And the fact that Forrest got to find his sister. Wow. And everyone who came together for him. It’s just amazing of all the wonderful humans out there. And tyler you’re awesome. Just because that’s my sons name. Hahah no, for real, I love the bond you and Forrest share. Lb you really did a good thing, keeping Forrest alive and just everyone who helped Forrest safe, loved and out of pain the best he could be.

Hang in there Forrest. Just remember, God don't make no junk... Good Luck Buddy... We all love you & wish you the best....

“They’re both giant, goofy guys” I love it 😭❤️

That is such a AWESOME story!! I'm so grateful that we still hah he people in the world that will go above and beyond for special needs animals ❤🥰

I'll never understand why breeders that have these animals and the one's with deformities they will just up and make a choice to go put them down like they're nothing. It sickens me. Just to be honest here it is because they can't make money off of a animal that has a deformity. They have know use for it anymore. For one I think that all of them who do this should have their license taken away to be able to breed. Especially if all they're going to do is put down the animals that don't meet their criteria. It is so WRONG to do that and it will never be okay to do that in my mind. And I wish these vets would step up and say no we aren't going to put down these animals that you all decided to breed just to sell them for money. I just thank God that they're are people in this world like you all who will step up and say." Know I won't let this happen. And I'm going to take this animal and do whatever I can for it to be able to have a life and a happy healthy life of love. Those people who do that have my upmost respect, gratitude, and appreciation they are my Heroes to me. So thank you and thank you for sharing this story..

The vet and the ppl who adopted Lumen & Forrest are the best.

With all the heartache in the World I'm grateful for everyone involved in these videos. I'm welling up out of joy for Forrest.

What an amazing story.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were laws in place that breeders could not euthanize due to deformities and they had to pay to have them corrected. I bet breeders would think twice before they used these poor dogs as cash cows!

This one is for the GREATEST Vet who saved Forrest!!!!!!!! The very best Cheers!!!!!!!

God bless you baby I love you 😘❤️

These damn breeders have to be stopped. They're taking no responsibilities about what they're doing to poor dogs.

breeding should be banned

I hope the 3 of them are one big happy family still.

Bless you and those like you for caring.

Miracles happen. Lumen got that special love and she looks much better. Forest is also a miracle dog. Both dogs look much better and stronger. 🙂🌹👍🏻❤️

OMG YOUR LOVE IS EVERYTHING ! THANK YOU ALL THAT HELPED !

His EARS!!!! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE HIS EARS!!!
