You are right!

Exactly.......I really don’t think he was all that nice because Lucy wasn’t excited to see him. I guess he might have a heart somewhere in there cuz he let her stay . I hope all the other dogs he probably has get rescued soon.

You go gurl! : )

@@siam5579 Maybe it was his (former owner's) heart; maybe Lee unconsciously assisted him in his choice-making. He would never say so, and if unconscious know so, but I've got a feeling....

I get you on that one. I have a guy that works for me that runs one, and I can't bare to hear him talk about. He's an otherwise great employee and it's a free country. I've just made it clear not something to be discussed on the job.

Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶

I really hate those cages. They’re often smaller than the space they’d get at the pound.

@@andicantu6490 She could hardly turn around in that cage. I couldn't leave without her, even though I wasn't sure before I went there to see about adopting her if I was even going to do it or not. Then I saw the cage and they even TOLD me she stayed in the cage all day except when they let her out to pee. I was sickened like you would be. I took her home right then.

This is what Lucy was communicating to her owner (at least in my viewpoint) she wanted to stay with Lee. Smart dog! : )

@@alifeintransition9782 And with Lee there as Alpha, she was heard!

Bev, you expressed my sentiments exactly....I actually felt sick to my stomach when Lee he said that the previous owner had contacted him. I was SO relieved when I heard the rest of the story. Bless both of their hearts!!! Thank you and be well, Bev!

I would have been tempted to say she had already been spayed and so not hood to him. If he was a good man you don't make dogs have puppies time after time, giving their bodies no time to heal or rest between pregnancies, they start them too young and make them continue until they are way past their time to stop. So pleased you have the lovely Lucy forever

@@mimi9.7.27 no way would i have given her back!

@@soniadowney7427 why?

@@bugisbonkers read the comments .enough said

@MG 83 good point. Let's home he garnished some understanding of what an animal is supposed to be. Free.

Yes that's what I was thinking maybe he will give some more up now knowing he's not treating them right

A heart? Look what that man did too Lucy. Do you not remember? I can't believe he had the tenacity to even contact Lee and Lee even allowing Him in his home.

Yes Sally....that man allowed his HEART to win.......on this occasion.....and allowed Lee to Keep Lucy for good. Thank God and Bless his heart EVERYDAY that he may continue to soften and grow in awareness and compassion for his dogs, so that he will stop treating them cruelly.

@@eg348 Is he going to shut down his puppy mill? Maybe you should do a follow up.

He couldn't have been too bad or he would have taken Lucy. I'm so thankful to him for blessing her and Lee by letting go. I chose to be like Lee and view this positively.

I agree with you 100%.

Lucy would have ran to him if he wasn’t that bad.

Hi Lety. I agree with you 100%. It took a lot of guts for him to go to Lee's home. I think Lee is too trusting, because he is such a nice guy. That man came off as nice and polite according to Lee, well, so did Ted Bundy. Most abusers and narcissists come off as charming and gentle. Remember Lee was so upset driving her he had to try to hide his emotions from Her? And he stated she had wounds on her head. Lucy was completely Spiritually broken. That man did that to her! I am not as nice as Lee when abuse is apparent, and I would not have been as nice as Lee. The guy actually should have had charges brought against him for abuse and neglect. Thankfully she is forever with Lee, as it should be. God bless. ~

@@picklesmom735 imo a person giving up their dog doesn't necessarily say they're good or bad. Lucy had a lot to say about it though!

She is beautiful

Elyse Rosenlof. How, did they get married ?

@@ac8907 Lucy is Lee’s daughter, not his wife! 😆

I felt so sad then to hear he has a wife. I actually breathed a sigh of relief, so I can still cling to my hope 😆 💕

😆

@@Curlysue713 Lucy is a dog people.

the world is lucky to have a guy like Lee.

❤️😊

Lucy is Very Fortunate to Have Lee And The Pack as Part of the Pack

I agree with you . I just want to cry for Lucy beautiful future...

We shouldn't give people the benefit of the doubt. The evidence was clear that the owner abused this dog. HE should actually be in jail and prevented from ever breeding again. My mom got a puppy from what she thought was a "reputable" breeder even though she had misgivings about the amount of space given to the animals. Low and behold, 5 years later, the "reputable" breeder" was shut down by the STATE (the story was all over the news) for hoarding animals and mistreating the dogs who were being bred. There's no good breeders.

Not really. That person is still a dog breeder and will continue to abuse the female dogs. He acted out of pure self interest.

I was trying to be positive

@@elizzy8754 I agree 100%. These people on this thread are bleeding hearts for this man that "Felt bad" for what he did. They are soooo damn naive. He will continue to breed the females, treat them like crap, and PROFIT off their puppies. Puppy Miller's have NO interest in comfort or care for the females, they are cash cows. It actually ticks me off these people here are gushing and awwing how Lee changed his heart. Makes me ill.

@@mouthymunchkin2243 Elizzy is being realistic. She is right. Breeders/Puppy Miller's treat the dogs like crap. Have you ever seen documentaries of Puppy Mills? It is like a concentration camp. These dogs are cash cows$$$ for them. Nothing more.

What an amazing ending for Lucy and Lee!!! And it's quite possible that the previous owner was truly touched by Lee's Love for Lucy and the Pack... It's very possible that Now, every time he looks at his own dogs, he will think of Lucy and Lee and Lee's Pack. It's highly likely, that the stark contrast in the level of Love, care, compassion and quality of life, will play on his mind and heart every single time he looks at his own dogs. And most likely, that guy has and will continue to be, changed, from meeting and spending time with Lee, seeing the immense change for the better in Lucy, and seeing the happiness of the entire Pack and realizing the immense, stark, black and white, day and night difference, that genuine Love, Care and Passion can make, to the Quality of Life and Happiness of Dogs. Yes, without doubt, that man is profoundly affected in a positive light and consciously and sub consciously, this Light will create deep and profound change. When you throw a stone into water - it creates ripples. Seeing the Light in another will spark the Light in you 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

I think she DID show emotion. I think she showed horror at his arrival and looked at Lee to save her - and the old owner actually saw it, recognised it - and had enough decency left within, to realise that Lucy hated the idea of going back, and leaving Lee. And unlike many puppy farmers, this man still had a little piece of soul that didn't value an animal by dollars they could produce, still living quietly in his heart. Sadly, he will probably replace her with a new puppy female goldie. But Lucy gets an early retirement in a dog paradise, where her only work, is enjoying herself.

@@georgielancaster1356 It's really easy to make assumptions at how bad someone may be, because it's often easier than facing or trying to learn the truth. We don't really know what went on with the previous owner and Lucy, for all we know the prior owner does love dogs, but just doesn't really know them as well as he may like or want to. I feel like Lee learned enough to be able to trust him to at least see Lucy. It's easy to want to help a dog that seems troubled. The prior owner may have had Lucy for a few years, I'm not sure but might have known she had issues but no idea how to help fix them. It's obvious he saw a completely new and different Lucy than the one he knew, and knew without a doubt that she not only needs to be with Lee, but deserves to be here, because she's happy here and that may have been something he never really got to see before.

Soooo happy for you and Lucy. you are the best! Stay strong and never change!. Be well the world needs you!

Heaven for dogs!

Perfect ending to Lucy's story!

He's a scumbag who abused her. And he's probably abusing more animals, since he calls himself a breeder. He needs a few years in jail and to be prohibited from going anywhere near any animal ever again.

Agreed

Lee is a bigger person than me because I don't think I could have been pleasant with someone who treated a dog like this.

@@gerardinecizmar I understand that but I'm sure that, in the moment, like Lee, you would do whatever was needed to get what was best for the dog. Honesty isn't always the best policy. Sometimes expediency has to supercede it and if it meant reigning in your feelings to do it I think that's what you would have done.

@@Russ_Keith What is best for the dog is Lee. I've seen too many animals treated like money making objects that live a horrible life. Therefore, I stand by my prior comment.

I'm going to share something I rarely share I have been abused it affects you physically and if you can recover from it physically if you are fortunate enough to you never recover from it spiritually mentally emotionally I'm thankful to God I was able to help myself that in itself was very tough you can become traumatized trapped in being sad someone so close to you like the skin on your body they could hurt you in such a way not even flinch about it I say this to you because I cannot even bear the pain of animals children that cannot help themselves situations such as this I'm so thankful to God LEE put himself in such a place to keep on fighting for Lucy no matter what he heard or saw in front of him A Close call INDEED but now its 4EVER OVER nothing but rainbows sunny skies happy hearts safety love peace for LucyDiamonds ln sky👍🐾

@Nk Hart🌸🌸🌸💛💛💛🌸🌸🌸😇😇😇

I also shed tears but the thing is, goodness does NOT always prevail in this life. What if the breeder had taken Lucy back? NO, just no; that would not be an option that I'd wager a dog's life on. I'm very relieved and happy it turned out good! It could very well have been the other way, no matter what we all wished for, is my point. Blessings to all the good folks who love and respect animals! Have a great day.👵😊💞🐕🐕

I cried too!!!

@@bethrichey3242 💞Anyone human would! Thank God there are good folks too who have a soft spot for the critters who also inhabit our planet!👵🙏😁💞👍

Poor Lucy...she was worried about going back to the horrible life she had before...Lee is an angel 😇❤️😍
