Mucker A Dog is not just a dog each and everyone of them have their own caricature that sets them apart. all of our dogs that we have lost are immortalised in art that we hang proudly on our farm walls. big up to you for what you're doing for the collies. stay strong my friend.

Good old boy - fair brought a tear to my eye. To be fair I prefer dogs to people.

Anyone who doesn't LOVE dogs I do NOT trust. You and Caroline have huge hearts and have given a creature who suffered a long time to have a good period and a happy period.

Never apologise for having a heart. After 40 years in rescue, I couldn't be as kind to the previous owners as you are. I doff my hat to you, Sir!

Having adopted a discarded hunting dog from Spain myself, I can relate so much to your feelings, Kurt. They are so grateful for our love and give so much back to us 😢 Thank you for the good memories about Bailey and for opening your feelings to us, which is not always obvious in this world. 🐕🍀❤️

I really wish, humans could learn to love their pet as much as they love us. Thank you for this story. Rest in Peace Bailey.

Until you have been there, will you know ! Dogs are mans best friend and can easily become your child amongst all your children.

Always hard loosing a dog, they much more than pets, theyre family, got 3 collies and one rescue, love all the work you do

No matter how many dogs you have in your life there is always one that rips your heart out God love you

Oh My! That was hard to watch, bless you for sharing Bailey's story with us,... R.I.P Bailey...xx

Tough to watch, never mind film. You do an amazing kind thing for these dogs. Bailey was lucky to have come to you and the others involved in the charity, its just a shame he didn't come to you without being dumped on the moors. you all made his last year on earth probably the happiest of his life.

You have a big heart man - wish more people did 👍

Thanks for telling us the story. I couldn't watch it without any tears, just as you couldn't tell us the story. Anyone who miss treats dogs deserves to rot in hell.

I have no words that can express how sad that was for bailey,typing this with tears in my eyes.what a fantastic thing you are doing for the collie rescues keep up the fantastic effort. RIP Bailey gone over the rainbow bridge.

Your a bloody good person mucker, thank you for telling us about Bailey God bless you ❤

Thank you for telling us the story about Bailey . Luckily he had a good final year and died loved well fed and well cared for. Hopefully that restored his faith in humans. 🙏

I remember Bailey coming into PPBC, what a special boy he was. I was proud to be part of admin for a few years and even prouder to have fostered and even adopted from PPBC ❤

Kurt, utmost respect for taking the time to tell Bailey’s story ! Absolutely heartbreaking but as you said his last year was probably his best ! Massive kudos to all involved to help him from his darkest hour to his best year ! Hardest days have been when I’ve lost my dogs ! Can’t think how hard it was for you to make this film.

As a dog lover I felt your emotion and how difficult it was for you to tell Bailey's story, a big well done for all you do for the charity.

Dam ya Lord Muck. Some bastard started cutting onions beside me now. Fair play to ya!

Well said mukker, you can judge people by how they treat animals. You are a top bloke and a true inspiration ❤️

Aw Mucker, I'm sitting in tears listening to Bailey's story. I have a Bailey here beside me, and she was found dumped on a grass verge along a country road when she was just a little pup. I rescued her, it's 8 years ago now and like you said she lets me know every day how much it meant to be rescued. A dog knows a good person and thanks for helping those dogs.

All the best, Kurt. We can see & hear how hard that was for you. 👍 He looked & sounded like a lovely old boy.

Thank you Lord Muck for sharing a very hard to tell story of a lucky dogs life, lucky to have wonderful people like yourself and those that helped him, Its hard to see a pet/friend/companion/buddy's life end. However you must feel good about being able to see that his last days were good ones. you are a very special Mucker. God bless you. an Oregon animal loving Mucker like yourself.

Fair play to you Sir .I'm bawling my eyes out here.Had lots of dogs and it was always hard to say goodbye to the most loyal companions.God Bless .

He was a one in a million special boy. As is Caroline. I’m proud to be part of the best rescue ever Well done Kurt. I cry everytime I pick the book up or see a memory of him ❤️🐾🌈🐾

Brought tears to my eyes for 2 reasons. First for Bailey, no dog or animal should have to suffer like that, good on you Mucker for the support you gave, to give Bailey a chance to be loved again, and enjoy the last year of his time here. Having lost my German Shepheard 2 months ago I know how hard this is for you even now. he was a rescue, never abused but loved, at 14 months they could not exercise him enough, so rehomed him, we had lost ours and fell in love with him. He spent 11 years at work with me in gardens (one 9acres) he was a clown, loving and so gentle with young kids, tennis ball mad, my customers loved him, even allowed him indoors. he too has left a large hole in my life. Keep up your great work for the collies.

I lost my wife 3/4/23 married 52 year's, we have had 13 dogs throughout that time,every time you loose one you say no more I'm not going through this again but if it weren't for my 2 healers I don't think I could take the pain of loosing the only thing that gave meaning to me at my age. My prayer is to outlive them to prevent them from going through what dogs like Bailey go through, I wish you well in your path, my wife and I were involved when younger with finding homes for unwanted animals from birds to horses and everything in between. You are a good man.

You've just ensured that Bailey won't be forgotten, he'll always be some where on the internet. It was obviously a hard tribute to film, so thank you, Caroline and the vets for giving Bailey a chance to feel some affection and love in his final year. God bless you.

Only just got round to watching this... knew it was going to be different to watch. Wow - very well told and fair play my friend. Great story and its great to know you & Caroline helped in the way you did. Let him love out a happy life in the end ❤

Kurt , I think I may know why you have a hard time talking about Bailey, it is because you have a big heart of gold towards dogs or any animal . As you were speaking of him , you brought tears to my eyes as I could feel the pain and anguish you were feeling. I have a soft spot for animals as well. Keep up the good work you are doing sir!

Bailey was obviously a very special dog. Good that people care for these wonderful creatures.

A real man shows his emotions. Be proud of yourself and everything you do. It means a lot to a lot of people and a lot of animals.

I didn’t expect to be wiping my eyes when I put this on. I applaud all the work you do for the dogs. 😢🐶❤🙏

I’ve seen a different side of you this evening Kurt, a softer more gentle understanding type of chap, and it’s excellent to see. Very genuine indeed. Credit to you sir. ✊👍🚜👏

Hard to watch but a lovely story, thanks for all you do for the dogs, RIP Bailey.

Your a good man for what you and the others do for the dogs.

I knew this was going to be a sad one so I had to wait almost a week to watch it. Thank you for telling us about Bailey. I can only imagine what would have been possible if he had been given a proper home instead of being abandoned. My great thanks to all and Caroline in particular for seeing that Bailey got a forever home. A world without animals would be a miserable place. They make us better humans.

Poor Bailey , they rely on us so much, their world is so small, their world is us. Thank you to everyone who made sure Bailey had comfort and a peaceful crossing.Love and peace at the end♥

Your a good man mucker there's some evil feckers out there rip Bailey do well mate n take care

What a touching story. No being should ever suffer like Bailey did but the harsh truth is that he was one of the lucky ones. Thank goodness there are some truly amazing people out there that without a thought put them selves out and take on these poor souls. Angels walk among us. Bailey's story is truly inspiring. Well done for getting through the video buddy, and it hurts because you care. Not something I'd normally watch but I'm so glad I did.

I feel your pain, last Monday we had too have our 18yr old terrier put too sleep. Single hardest thing I’ve ever had too do walking into the vets, held it together for my sister until I sat in the landrover. Feel your pain mucker

Evening mucker my dad always used to say a dog will only break your heart once and that when they die.

There is "this one Dog" for a lot of us.. that was special and near to our hearts neighborhood than others. I had a Bernese Mountain Dog..about 20 years ago..and the Cat that grew up with her. They were like Beavis and Butthead. Two Friends that I very much loved like nothing else! Still miss them little idiots!😔

Sounds like a wonderful dog and his contribution still goes on because of the affect he had.

You moved me to tears Mucker and I am not a dog person. Respect to you for having the guts to tell us about Bailey.

Thanks so much for this video all of our dogs were rescue dogs and were like a member of our family. Thanks again!

Watched with my own rescue dog sat next to me, nice to know there's still good people around. Thanks for the insight, very moving. ❤

Dogs are amazing, they never fail to forgive humans no matter what humans had done before to them

Bless you lord muck ! Countless collies around him and enjoying himself, it’s hard but think of the good times he was with you !!!!!

I think i cried nearly as much as you through that I'm holding little Bonnie Mae that bit tighter tonight.

That story would draw a tear from a stone 😢. Currently sitting in the tractor cab wiping tears away 😢

What an amazing, heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing with us.

Hats off to you Lord Muck, for managing to tell this story. Totally understand you doing it in segments. The story reduced me to tears too. I bought a few tickets. So Glad the money is going to such a genuine worthwhile cause.

you're one in a million . thanks for sharing . can't stand people who abandon dogs or any animal

My old 14 year old Staffordshire bull terrier passed away a year ago last Saturday. people say it’s only a dog. but quite simply my dogs are like my children / my best friend/ my side kick etc and with out them life is definitely not the same. a very empty emotional feeling when they’re not around. It just just sickens me the way some people treat and think about all animals

thank you so much for sharing this video i feel the same way about my last dog every time i think about him i get upset after 9 years. you are a star for all that you do for the dogs RIP BAILEY

God bless you and everyone involved with Bailey's rescue Mukka.Everyone who has ever owned an animal knows what its like when they leave you.Take care and a fabulous chatiry we support .....RIP Bailey x

LM Thanks for sharing your story about Bailey, in our house dogs held in high regard, lost a fair myself, I would love to get the book, our kids dogs, your a good man and Thank you for caring.

Well done mate. I lost my dog in a million last year after being poorly for 12 months. I have had lots of dogs on the farm over the years but Pig was my dog in a million and like all the others they always tell you when they are ready for rainbow bridge. I am a 50 year old man in floods of tears watching your vid. Really glad no one is here!🙂 exceptfor the collie pup sitting on my feet. I have got a painting of him on the side with his ashes and a cushion with his picture on that my family brought me when he died next to me which goes wherever I go. We took him to Cornwall last week when the kids treated me to a surprise weekend for my 50th. I love your vids and respect what you and all the others do for the dogs. Keep up the good work mate.❤

Awww, that’s a tough story to tell, I felt your tears Lord Muck. Rip Bailey ❤

Thanks for sharing this story with us. Not an easy thing to do, but it needed telling. Thank You.

Thank you for telling us the story it Bailey 💔 you truly are one of life’s good people 👍

Not going to lie I had a tear in my eye watching that. Wasn’t until I got my Beagle that I realised just how much they become part of our lives. He’s 13 now and it’s going to be hard to let him go when the time comes. Thanks to everyone that looks after dogs and give them the best life possible in their final days 👍🏻

Total and utter respect for you Kurt. You like all good dog keepers have a good heart. Good bless all our four legged friends ❤️❤️✊✊

Couldn’t help but watch this with a tear in my eye. Well done mucka for sharing this story with us. Over the years many dogs come and go, but there is always that one that leaves that lasting impression in our hearts. 👍🏼

RIP Bailey what a wonderful dog he sounded to be.

Sir I respect your honesty and dedication to the dogs keep up with the great work and content thanks for the story , their is no shame in grief of the loss of any animal family your a proud kind gentlemen

Well done mucker for telling Baileys story, that's hit me hard as iam sure many of us ole boys feel the same , Bless you mate,

Never anything worse then losing a dog, well done for sharing.

Good on you!. That was hard to watch, but it was obviously harder to make. That poor doglet had a loving, safe and happy last chapter thanks to a group of decent Human beings. Nice one!.

Always thought you were a dude...now we know you're a dude with a big heart...proud of what you do!

This story reduced me to tears. No dog should end up starving and ready to die. That last year was his retirement, a slice of heaven to make up for the bad period. You are a good man Lord Muck, a really good man.

Thanks Lord Muck, you have a lovely heart, RIP Bailey. Kind regards from NZ.

I recently had to say goodbye to my dogs because old age had finally caught up with them. My wife said no more pets but I don’t always listen to her. 😊

2 of the easiest ways to tell what kind of a person somebody is without even having to meet them. See how well they treat their animals and see how well animals treat them. I’m a firm believer animals are a better judge of human character than we ever will be.

Thanks for telling Baileys story. Fully understand how hard it was. So hard to understand when so many dogs are so much better than so many people. Thanks again for what your doing for collies.

Loosing a dog is like loosing one of the family I know have been through it and said never again but you do it anyway because they give you their loyalty

Sat here at 34 years old with my Cats like a blubbering mess. Love everything you do mate , ‘kin all of it.

Just watched the rest of the video, 😪😪 no words, except so happy that he found amazing loving people to spend time with before he passed, well done to you all,

We have had dogs all our lives so we feel your pain. His last year was happy for him.god bless you mucker.

Mr. Muck, thank you for the tough story. On Sept 11 2020 our black lab “Pitch” was born. He was a dog like I’ve never had the pleasure to spend time with…there have been many over my 60 years. He ran and bicycled with me daily for the past two years and was a huge inspiration for me. 2 weeks ago Pitch became quite sick, he received care at the University of Saskatchewan Vet Med College in Canada. He had an enlarged heart. Pitch passed away shortly after his sickness became apparent. I can’t begin to explain the heartbreak and sadness I feel. Thank you for caring for our canine companions.

What an amazing story and amazing people to give him that last year, some people can be so cruel but it's the Caroline's of this world that restore your faith in humanity. A hard watch but makes you realise why your so passionate about this charity. I have had 5 spaniels over the years fortunately still have two of them. I had to put down Gadget during the first lockdown he was the first dog my wife and I got together, I'd always wanted a black spaniel an amazing dog broke my heart

Kurt, I get how hard that must have been for you to film mucka, my last dog was a lab/collie cross and it broke me when I had to have her put to sleep, but she had 16 good years with us and wanted for nothing, we got her as a rescue from the RSPCA at 10 weeks old. Thank you for all that you do to help with your rescue colliies. Bailey had a good and well loved end to his life. RIP Bailey ❤

All respect to you Kurt I can imagine how hard that tale was hard to tell.I’ve had dogs all my life until 3 years ago I lost my golden retriever who was the cleverest,loyal dog we ever owned we lost her on her 13 birthday and still today I think of her every day.

lord muck my heaet gows out to you and baley sending all my love and condolances to you and the colleys and the charrtys out there god bless this made me cry big thanks from jonathan wheatley

Thanks for sharing Mucker. That wasn't easy for you. I went through something similar with a 9 month old Red Australian Cattle Dog who'd been left with a spiral fracture to his back left leg. No micro chip no collar. The Vet did everything he could for that Dog whatever he needed. He was 17 years old when he finally went. We gave him good life. My Mum died nearly 2 years ago, I've been left with her little dog Teddy a 16 year old shitzu cross he's slightly deaf and going blind but he'll be round till he's ready to go.

Well done my Heart goes out to you. Well done.

Beyond powerful Kurt, we can see how hard that was for you, and we hope you are ok chap. Not really any words to comfort or make you feel better, just know your supporters are here for you.

A very loving video , so so hard when a family member passes after not having a great past . I had a rescue German shepherd that was crated up to 12 hrs a day on a wire floor , not in good shape at all . But had a lovely 5 years with him . Still missed dearly 3 years on . Hats off to you mucker.

Thank You so very much.

Sounds like Caroline is doing a fantastic job I can see why you want to help her out so much keep up the good graft mucker

Don't ever apologize for a video like this. It goes to show us how human you are. Keep up the great work we really respect you and your intentions. Derek

Rip baily and we'll done everyone that helped him. I carnt believe someone would do this to a dog. Thanks for sharing mucka.

Mate, I knew straight away before I pressed play, chin up mate we all lose our friends along the way, God love em and God look after em for us, my thoughts are with you all, keep up the good work it makes a difference!

RIP Bailey well done to give a Bailey a good send of . Good luck with your raffle for the collie rescue .Good luck Mucker .you even made an old man cry . keep the video coming

Kurt thanks for telling the story. Hard one as we could tell when listening.

I'm sure Bailey's faith was restored in human nature after the good work everybody did for him.. all our pet's, although i call them family members that we've lost will be waiting for us.. well done Kurt👍

I can totally relate to what you are talking about. My sister runs a vet clinic here on our reservation and we operate it as a 501-3-C and rely on donations for meds for all the animals we see. We treat all animals and only have clinic one day a week because she is still working 2 jobs to pay for the bulk of the bills. I am disabled now but donate my time to the clinic scheduling appts and doing paperwork on clinic days. I am 3 weeks out of a total knee replacment and still trying to do clinic work. I am not walking yet and can't carry things yet but am trying.
