I cried the whole video

My eyes are leaking. Not everyone can afford to love a pupster through heartworm treatment. She's the luckiest doggo ever. Thank you for your tireless dedication and generosity. She's grinning! And I bet she'll learn that Lester is the exception to most rules, absolutely nothing like the man or men that mistreated her. Great job, you two!

You can totally tell Christmas is feeling the love at the end. She's all smiles. Kudos to you Jami and Lester!

She's so happy. I love how abandoned animals get so much more happier than animals that always had a home. They're so grateful

God bless you both for saving these souls. It looks like Christmas was still a relatively new stray while Santa had seen harsher times and has been Chrissy’s protector all this time 😢

Sookie is looking down on you with loving approval, Jami. She couldn’t be happier that you’re welcoming Christmas into the family. I bet Sookie is telling her all about you and how lucky she is.

How lucky is Christmas to pick the right person. She will now have the best life ever. She is a survivor ❤️

Thank you Jami and Lester for saving Christmas. Hope you are able to save Santa too!

Lester, you surely love to hear about us ugly crying. This was so beautiful. All we need now is for the video of Santa being rescued and finding that forever home. Such a beautiful story I tell ya. ❤

A masterclass in video creation. The characters, setting, plot, conflict, resolution and the heartstrings. The editing! Gave me ALL the feels! This is how it’s done y’all. Thank you for saving this life and thank you for dropping this little piece of perfection into my Christmas morning Lester. Now…back you go for Santa. (No rest for the weary.)

Jami and Lester, I bet Sookie and Maggie are there saying great job mom and dad, love her as much as you loved us :)

Ain't no way Lester will be able to not fall for a smile like Christmas's!!!! She is such a sweetheart already.

So glad Jamie got her Christmas. When she told this story of her months ago it broke my heart. I really hope you are able to catch Santa and get him a good home. ❤️

i wasn’t emotional watching this video until jami said “thank you for picking me” then the tears started falling. dogs are such a blessing & they know when we need them the most. so excited to watch Christmas thrive with you guys

BEST CHRISTMAS STORY VIDEO EVER!! I ugly cried when Jami showed us Christmas’ name tag and made the announcement. The huge smile on Christmas’ face was priceless. 🥰🥲

I am so happy you guys finally got her! The black and white needs help also, when you drove away he was laying on his blanket like a king! King would be a great name for him! Go get him Jami please!. Lester will come around😁 Merry Christmas!

This warms my heart! She definitely chose Jami for sure! I'm so happy you were able to get her off the street and give her a forever home.

Good job, Lester. Best Christmas gift ever. I’m so proud of you both. Hope Santa gets help, too. 😊

Such a sweet video. You guys have a heart of gold. Welcome to the family Christmas. The ending made me cry, you were right Jami, that ending got me. Can't wait to see her blossom.

That face at the end...the face of a homeless dog that finally found her furever home! Priceless!

This was the sweetest thing ever. I knew when Lester was talking about re-homing her, that it wouldn't happen. I could see in Jamie's eyes that she had already fell in love with Christmas. Now if you two can save Santa and find him(?) a home. Merry Christmas!

I bawled like a child. This is the best ever rescue. I love you to the moon Jami! I have faith you’ll get Santa. Merry Christmas! I dig your shoes!

I don't even have words for how much I loved every bit of this video! If ever a dog could smile, it is Christmas! I hope Santa gets help too!

I have watched this video multiple times as it gives me the good feels and tears. You both have the biggest hearts. To the few Pee Pat’s who have criticized Jaime and Lester’s efforts to secure Santa, trapping even a loved and loose family dog is difficult because they’re scared and in fight or flight mode. A lot more difficult with a longtime stray/semi-feral dog who has been subjected to neglect and abuse. Be kind. ❤

It’s amazing how she went from this to climbing all over Lester.

This ”Christmas” story shows the heart of IMA Survivor sanctuary aka , Lester and Jami! So sweet! It’s a beautiful story and rescue. Jami you are very lucky to have a man with such a HUGE ♥️, and he is equally lucky to have you! ♥️♥️

Christmas is beautiful. Thank you Jami and Lester for saving her. Hopefully Santa can be caught and found a forever home. I think Christmas has found hers. ❤

Your killing me. Tears are pouring! Thank you Jamie for loving her. She is adorable. Now go get Santa please please please

You two are the most wonderful people, taking a poor dog off the streets and giving her a loving home. I am so happy this made me cry, thank you so much for your kindness ❤

Oh Christmas you adopted Jami- she's the best! Congratulations to the Morrow clan! 🐾🐾

I watched this Christmas Day. What a wonderful, wonderful Christmas present to all your viewers. Thank you Jamie and Lester for having hearts as big as Texas.

Those pups are bonded. They should never be separated. Ever.

My heart feels happy. Thank you Lester and Jami.

This ranks as one of your best videos! From homeless to a sanctuary ! Merry Christmas "Chrissy " and Santa !

Watched this on Facebook this morning and cried through the whole thing😭😭😭. What a precious gift for y’all and Christmas ❤. Hope and pray the other dog is rescued too🙏. Can’t wait to see her transformation and hopefully making friends with the other dogs.

I'm ugly crying now with a smile on my face! Bless you both Jamie & Lester. Christmas you picked the right humans. ❤

Truly beautiful, now back you go and get Santa, then it really will be a Christmas miracle. Fingers crossed he’s as friendly xx

Did you see that smile? God Bless Jami and Lester for changing Christmas’s life forever!! 24:23

Lester, Christmas is the best Christmas present ever! Welcome home, Christmas! I sure wish I could fly down there and help rescue Santa and the 3rd we didn't see. I'm tearing up here. I'm so happy for Jamie and Christmas. Happy for you too, Lester. You have proved to Chrisrmas that all men are not created equal. You are special, as we all have known for years. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 💜💜💜

She looks so relieved to be with her new family. She’s already at home with you all. ♥️♥️♥️

Just came home from a long, hard day at work and caught this video which made me cry like a baby. What a beautiful creature who just needs some love and care, which she's possibly never known before. Thank you Jami, for giving her a part of your heart and giving her hope💓 Now please go back for Santa, he's now alone ... #rescueisbest #adoptdontshop

❤️ this pup has been in Jami's mind foreverrrr....and thank you for trying to help the other as well 🎄

This was perfect! What a wonderful Christmas present! She is beautiful and now go get Santa! Love you guys!❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

And to see it now. Chrissy loves Lester so much. And mama Jami .

Look at that smile. She is very happy. Thank you. ❤️

The smile at the end is all you need to believe in Christmas miracles..

Thank you for taking care of her. Heartworm treatment is hard, but she's young and should do well.

Only a dog that has found its true home can smile like that 💞 God Bless you abundantly good people of the Christmas tribe ✝🙏🏽🌹

I feel so bad for that other dog now. I sure hope he’s okay without his friend. We need an update video on him.

I absolutely loved this ! I remember when Jami made a video about this dog, maybe almost a year ago?, and she had cried because she couldn't take take the dog home with her. I'm so glad you guys got her! Merry Christmas y'all 🎄⛄🦌

This here is EXACTLY why I've been following you guys, you all have huge hearts 💕 for animals and take the greatest care of them... Love you and all your fur babies and the feathered babies too 💕 ❤️ always watching all your videos from the Pearl of Africa, Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬 East Africa 🇮🇱🇺🇬

The black and white pup deserves care and love! There's people who can take care of the b/w dog!! He'll be terribly lonesome without Christmas!!

Lester I love how you always try to give presents that melt Jamie’s heart. Merry Christmas!

This was so beautiful. I also cried happy tears. What a wonderful story! Thank you both for the heart and love for fur babies of all shapes and sizes.

' We're not going to keep her', so glad to see how much her life has changed!

I ugly cried in joy and gratitude that you guys were able to rescue this beautiful girl. Jami your like me, and the moment you said “Thank you for choosing me” I knew you wouldn’t be able to let her go. Thank you for this beautiful video on Christmas day, it is truly an amazing gift for all of us survivors. I pray you can also soon rescue Santa. God bless you all and keep you safe ❤️🙏

Jami, I remember you telling the story of Christmas. I'm so very happy you got her and are giving her the very best home!! This story warmed my heart today 🐕🎁🎅💕

Thank you so much for the rescue. I’ve been doing rescues for years. It touches my heart that you both did this. I really appreciate you guys! And knowing you are keeping her, I am over the moon for that. I hope you get her friend😊

I held on to the end and started bawling. I love you two for rescuing her. She will be the best dog because of her gratutude for saving her. I know you wont give up on Santa. Thank you for making me believe in the kindness of others.

I love the fact Christmas has found her place to stay but I feel so bad for Santa who has lost his only companion and is now alone

Wow wow! It was so great to see that smile and the look in her eyes said everything! I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE ABLE TO SAVE SANTA!! 😔 😢

Merry Christmas, Christmas! I could have watched an hour more of this! Many blessings to all of you! 🥰🙏 Hopefully Santa and Charcoal get saved too!

You and Lester always pick the best names, what a tear jerking video. She is so sweet!

Perfect Christmas Story It is the true meaning of Christmas Thanks so much for sharing 😊

It’s so cute how Lester thinks that we are not keeping this dog

I cried ugly tears!! I hope to see a sequel about Santa. My heart aches for dogs who are abandoned like this. ❤ thanks for doing what you do!!

Such a heartwarming video! I see why Jami loves her, she's such a good baby who has had a hard life. Prayers that she and the other dogs become one big happy family. And prayers for Santa and that he is safe. Love you guys!

Thank you Lester for taking that dog off the street. I really get sad when people drop animals on the side of the road without a safe haven. Jamie you are an angel 😇

What a great Christmas Story! Her big ole smile at the end was amazing. She definitely chose Jami! I love happy endings! Merry Christmas to all of ISS! PS. Will there be a Santa story? He was precious too.

Lester and Jami she's a wonderful addition to the family so adorable 🥰🥰

Can we please have an update on this beautiful story. I'm so happy you kept her, you can see how much you love eachother ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I'm just now getting a chance to watch this. How sweet.

Now I’m crying, she looks like she is smiling, Lester can’t even help himself, he’s in love with her too! What ever came of her buddy? I guess I’ll find out sooner or later maybe, thank you guys so much for being who y’all are! Love y’all so much!!! 🥰🥰🐕

Oh gosh!!! I’m all teary!!! This is beautiful!!! Thank you for saving her!!!

Woke up to this video, and now going to bed with this video. I could watch it 100 more times. Rescued dogs are grateful dogs. Some just need time to settle and regain their peace so their hearts can trust again. Clearly, they've been failed by humans in the past, but they will learn to trust and accept love again. I'm praying "Santa" get his 2nd chance too with an amazing family. He's likely HW + too and the sooner he gets treatment, the better for him. Don't give up on him. 🥰

Omg that smile! The DoDo couldn’t do any better! Santa is so pretty I hope you find him too.

Awe Christmas, that smiles at the end is all that needs to be said. 🥰

I love how Christmas just took right to the bed, she went from homeless to the lap of luxury. What a beautiful thing, and a true Christmas story... I hope you can get Santa soon. Much Love

I believe that's the hardest I've ever cried and been happy 😭😢😃😀. There are truly angels among us. This is what Christmas is all about, God's saving grace

WELCOME HOME CHRISTMAS. AS I LAY HERE ON MY BED WATCHING THIS VIDEO I AM CRYING 😢 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING THIS PRECIOUS DOG.

I knew Jami wouldn't be able to give her up! God bless you for opening your heart and your home to Christmas. Now she'll be able to experience what real love feels like.

Jami & Lester Christmas is a beautiful dog. Jami she found her love for you. I cried when you said she was staying she belongs with a family who will love her unconditionally. Thank you guys for loving all the animals.🙏❤️

Her beautiful smile at the end says everything! Bless you 🙏🏼

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Santa and Christmas just won the lottery! God bless you! I can't stop the happy tears! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

This is beautiful ❤ I knew Christmas was going to stay ❤ I hope we get a video soon that you caught Santa. I know you guys won’t give up on him ❤

Sweet Christmas strikes me as very aware, smart, and incredibly loving!!! Thank you for saving her. I really hope you guys can rescue Santa. Thanks for this heartwarming hopefully, joyfully video! God bless and Merry Christmas to 2 of the biggest hearted people in our whole country.

Look at that happy happy grin She's so loves you guys

Hope her friend can be rescue and get a forever home. Trick we do is go to the dollar store buy one of the outdoor rug door mats and place it where it doesn't interfere with the cage. Good luck.

Christmas is a happy puppy. Look at that gorgeous smile. I hope you guys are able to capture and save her friend Santa. Thank you.❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾

This is the BEST Christmas story I’ve ever seen. Merry Christmas y’all

She's so beautiful, I totally understand why and how you feel in love with her Jami ❤✌️🦘

Lester you have the biggest heart and your love for Jami is so strong. What a wonderful "Christmas" gift! You made my Christmas so much better and I got goosebumps at the beginning when you said what your gift to Jami was. I was crying the rest of the way through the video. You and Jami are the best!!!!

I don’t know why I can’t stop crying. This warmed my heart so much. It’s like when you see those ASPCA videos, you see the animals are being rescued, but your heart still aches for what they went through. I hope you do rescue the other pup. You all are truly Angels. God bless all of you and welcome home little Christmas, welcome home.

Lester you went above and beyond for Jami!!! Christmas is a keeper and that smile she has at the end of the video is priceless ❤❤❤.

What a happy girl. Thank you for rescuing Christmas.

Look at that dog with the biggest smile ever.....❣️🥰

What a beautiful and huge smile Christmas has! 🎄 Merry Christmas to Everyone! 🎅

This was the best Christmas Story EVER! I didn't just cry tears of joy, I bawled and couldn't stop. Lester, you will never be able to top this Christmas gift for Jami. Merry Christmas and thanks for another rescue.

That big smile on her beautiful face god bless her 😍😍😍😍😍

Please give us an update on Santa. You could call a dog rescue to help capture Santa and give him the medical treatment he needs. So happy for Christmas!
