Hey Dodos! If you want to see more of Lee Asher and his rescues - check this out here: th-cam.com/video/9oxRajERmTM/w-d-xo.html
How do I become part of the ASHER house!???
Thanks for that info, The Dodo! I found Big Guy Littles World Sanctuary through your video of him some time back👍
I remember he did some videos for your channel, how come he stopped making new ones?
You are magical, Lee! I wish you could come to Maine and help me with my pibble.
No, thanks👎
He probably "didn't like men" because the men around him were treating him badly. Shockingly enough, how you treat an animal impacts its behavior.
Also, that guy is not a man, he’s a Sasquatch.
I'm pretty sure his previous owners were a bunch of dickheads.
Amen, you took the words right out of my mouth
Exactly.
@@tyrstark8673 Probably.
In many cases people don't begin To understand a dog's behavior or how they should be treated. Some idiots treat the dogs like humans (thinking they are being "loving") to the animals detriment.
Some of these nasty hefers are intimate with their dogs and that causes big problems for any man that comes around, not to mention the psychological impact on the dog.
This scenario is far to common but not talked about....like it's some anomaly 🙄
Big red flag for me some chick says "my dog doesn't like men"
🤔
"We've surrendered this dog because he's aggressive" - followed by 5 minutes of the friendliest, least aggressive marshmallow of a dog I've ever seen.
They probably wanted to put him down because of their awful "humanity"
I'm assuming they lied and didn't want him any longer for their own needs just glad he found his forever family
aggressive belly rubs, aggressive kisses and aggressive snuggling this dog is clearly a terror.
@@hannah1948 He is attempting death by smothering... in cuteness. You have no idea of the pure EVIL hidden within!
@@majorpwner241 feel the horror!!!!!
His old family must have treated him pretty badly. Rolling around on the floor with him was a winner! Great work loving this great dog. Good for you!
You are a beautiful man who has made a wonderful environment for these dogs.
badly not being leader, if human is weak dog takes leadership, and cause humans cant speak dog the trying to bite sounds bad
@@JouniKyyronen-nv1ep depends though. Every dog is different. Have to add in the situation and enviroment.
When you are told a dog is aggressive. Then that dog comes in unsure and submissive. Aggression is a symptom. So it's different when it's a first meeting with an unsecured dog.
The best time to show leadership is during meals and walks. Constantly correcting bad behaviors. Which he did in this video. The dog only needed a verbal warning to deescalate.
Showing strength when it matters the most.
It doesn't mean he was treated badly it just means he might have been a strong dog that needed a stronger leader
“The dog is aggressive”
*dog lets man grab his bottom jaw*
Dude did literally EVERYTHING you're not supposed to do to an Aggressive dog (on purpose I think...) I was cringing so hard.
@@AzazelTheFallen what are you talking about? Doing things like this makes the dog tolerant. He did an awesome job with this dog.
@@AzazelTheFallen well yes, but he only saw that in Hooch. So why say something like that? Hooches body language was calm and interested. I work with dogs, I read them everyday.
What on earth were they doing to the dog? he is an absolute sweet heart
@@the1andonlytitch Can be a very nervous/anxious couple that make the dog insecure and protective. There a lot of people that really should not own a dog. This guy is definitely not 1 of them.
Note from Brutus: thank you for surrendering me so I can find a normal family that sees how special I am.
Or: a special family that sees how normal I am. 🧡
This family is no where near normal, he is got a whole pack! And he knows exactly what he is doing, just perfect for dogs!
Maybe you don't know what he did
Karen Pokorny Yeah! you said it!
@@dradski1758 do you?
The importance of giving Brutus a new name like Hooch is understated.
His behavior is uncontrollable and aggressive!!!
His love is uncontrollable.
Be careful these dogs are dangerous they might steal your heart. 💗
Brutus loves that man. That dog really does he loves. That. Man❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love. Love
Dogs don't not like men; they don't like people that give off weird vibes and signals. The men he doesn't like are probably shady as hell.
jessicamarie Clever and full of love. Your comment is a gem!
Brutus is the most docile,loving well behaved "uncontrollable" dog I have ever seen.What was he doing to his previous owners? Loving them too much? Their loss is your gain my man,hope you guys have many happy years together.
He's so aggressive that he attacked him with kisses and gave up his most vulnerable position.
Those pit mixes can turn violet pretty quick. He’s probably back at the shelter now
@@houserental5424 that comment is kind of like your the party - pooper 💩 💩 💩 of the COMMENTS section..
WHY on earth do you feel the need to point something, like that out to everone at the end of the video??!..
XDD
@@Add_Account485 he wants attention and likes to troll, don't focus on those ppl cause you're giving them what they want
Scary, right?
"He is aggressive... and doesnt like men."
-instantaneously moves in for hugs and kisses and rolls on his side
Don’t care being pickup and having his jaw playfully hold and his able to share food with another dog. Yeah previous owner were probably super shitty or don’t know what’s normal or not and what’s aggressive really mean.
LOL!
i bet it was a relationship thing. either the dog goes or i go situation.
Yeah is a very submissive dog if I'm honest don't see him being agreesive what so ever even if they said he was I just don't see it happening I feel they just liked about ot to make it seem like they had a reason to get rid of him when they clearly didn't
They likely forgot to include....”doesn’t like men who mistreat him”.
All the dogs climbing on him and showing that pure affection at the end. If Heaven exists it’s gotta just be that ❤ so happy for Hooch!!
I wouldn't be surprised if God's plan for this guy's heaven is to literally just have a whole area just for him and his dogs.
It never gets old watching Lee do his beautiful thing ❤
I'm not keeping him,
I'm not keeping him,
I'm not keeping him.
Keeps him. What a legend!
I had to laugh when Lee said that😂. I knew then he was keeping him🐾
I was thinking "yeah RIGHT." the whole time. Brutus (excuse me, Hooch is his name now) found his home after that first hour with Asher and the poor human's in total denial!
Lee is the biggest foster fail on the planet.
I'm not keeping him, I'm not keeping him, I'm not keeping him. You sir are a big fat lier. I love your pack. Thank you for changing these animals lives. With very best wishes from Cumbria England.
As soon as Hooch melted into Lee on that first meeting, I knew it was over, he was keeping him lol
When you fail at fostering dogs so you keep them -
"Task failed successfully"
i'd definitely be a foster fail.
I'm such a failure.
I'm convinced I could never do it cause I would cry and want to keep them all
Thats the best failure a human can do! Its hard to fail and many cant do it but i really admire the ones who do i know i would fail miserably!
I mean everyone fails at something, why not fail at something you love!
I adore watching this man rescue dogs. Asher House is the best place for any rescue dog to land.
Lee’s word’s I’m not keeping him proved to be untrue. Lee, you and your staff are amazing
"We're surrendering Brutus because he's dangerous and we don't feel safe living with him"
Brutus: literally a gentle doggo who just wants love
I think Brutus was not safe around THEM
@@shirleyn546 Yeah, you've nailed it.
Most likely the owners were mean to him, or they simply made him uncomfortable.
@Aiyana Barnes dogs are not unpredictable. They mirror you. If you give them love, you will get love. If you hit them, they will not be gentle with you.
@Aiyana Barnes could be sounds, smells, other animals... anything.
"This dog is aggressive."
Dog:
If you friend me, I will aggressively reciprocate,
If you play with me, I will aggressively tail wag,
If you feed me, I will aggressively rejoice,
If you don't cuddle me, I will aggressively sulk.
Also Dog:
I will aggressively snuggle you and shower you in love
Aggressive cuddles....
Those are the BEST!
Love this! ❤
Dogs are aggressive when treated aggressively by their owners!
Cute
Dogs know who genuinely loves and cares for them.
This guy has such great intuition for dogs. "THis is how you let em know you're the strongest in the room" a subtle show of dominance done with love. It's literally AND figuratively "sweeping her off her feet". That desire to trust\surrender and be safe that makes for a good dog.
Why do people lie about the dog when they bring it to the shelter??? It only makes it that much harder for them to get a family! Thank you Lee for giving him an incredible home!
They probably were hurting the dog because no way he was aggressive without being provoked
I think they just wanted to have a reason besides just not wanting him. So they lied saying he was aggressive to feel better about bringing him back
Totally agree there with you.
Because they don't want to admit why the dog was probably acting "aggressively" ie most likely abusing him or treating him poorly
Maybe they didn't lie. Maybe the dog was aggressive towards the man in the household. Maybe the man in the household was abusing the people in the house and the dog was trying to protect them. If the dog was protecting the family members from someone it will do it all of the time not just when the person is being mean. Maybe they did the best thing for the dog and if the people are being abused they should leave as well.
Maybe that's why this dog was nice to this guy, this guy was not the one being abusive to the other members of its previous home.
What this video does show is that shelters should wipe the slate clean when they receive an animal then form their own opinion for each animal in their shelters. Shelters have no idea why a dog is deemed aggressive in their previous home. Previous owners will leave out the part about being abused by someone in the home, they can not admit to being abused because they are scared of what will happen when they get home.
Voiceover: "He is a very aggressive dog."
And in comes a big sweet overgrown puppy.
He was quoting the previous owners just in case you didn’t know
@@EliteNordicGarrison “He was left at the shelter by his owners with the following message”
Did you just not watch the first 30 seconds?
He was letting the man drag him and slide him on the ground, this big baby is nothing but sweetness
@@Zmargo702 Anecdotal story with zero evidence, it's been used many a time on this channel. I worked in a shelter, not once did that ever happen
@@josephstalin8933 r/wooosh
Thank you for taking a chance on Brutus. You're a super human that loves animals and the affection shown proves it.
P.S. thanks for renaming him to something more deserving. ❤️
❤❤❤👍🇭🇲💚💋🙏
Lee Asher, you are living my dream life. Saving all of the furbabies you can and giving them the love the deserve.
This guy’s personality is level 10 thousand.
Is this the same guy who had Tony the German Shepherd?
@@angeldennis7042 yes
@@angeldennis7042 I think there are multiple videos with this guy.
This guy should absolutely have his own tv show.
This is the first time I see someone write 10000 10 thousand, it's 5 am and I'm having an existential crisis
Every time he claims "I am not keeping him" I know he is keeping the dog. He has a heart of gold.
Yes he is really an animal lover ♥️♥️♥️
Should be ; he really is an animal lover 😁
Lol
Every time!!! LMAO
Heart of Gold indeed!!!!! Love it!!!!👍
Mr. Asher may the Lord always bless you, your staff, all of the beloved dogs and any other animals in your care as well anyone that reads this prayer. Amen. Big hugs to all!
“A very aggressive dog”
More like aggressively love-able!!!! I swear, that dog is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever seen!! 🥰🥰🥰
"Aggressive and doesn't like men. We don't feel safe in our own home"
Random strange man: hovers over, grabs side of face, puts face in face, maintains eye contact
Brutus: excited tail wagging and not one sign of tightening up as if to attack
It tells you everything you need to know about his previous situation.
The owners either were huge liars. Or were mistreating this huge baby, or Brutus was no longer convenient wanting to be rid of him. The ass hats also set him up to be put down based on allegations he was aggressive. Nothing I saw indicated any aggression.
@@autumninvirginia1229 They probably just didn't give him attention, worked alot. When they got home he'd get excited, jump on them - if they had kids then they'd probably be tossed around.
It's a big dog, it's easy to mistake excitement for aggression. But yeh no they shouldn't own any pets if they called him "aggressive".
Well maybe they returned him because they wanted a dog that protects the house not everyone wants a dog for love don’t forget dogs were made for protection back then now they are just for loving just cause you love when they jump on you and lick you and give you attention cause no one else’s will doesn’t mean some other person is looking to buy them for licks and love there have been times when a dog jumps on the owner for love but can hurt the owner and result in them thinking it could be violent you never know the full story. Enjoy your day
@@theworld1770 point taken but most dogs bark at strangers ect. They are a great alarm system but if the door or window is breached it is up to the human . Dogs at best only buy time.
brutus did not bark ONE time, he just gives kisses and wags his tail. such a gentleman. a distinguished one to be precise ☝🏻
Right? I wonder WTF was going on with the people who surrendered him? SO sad - BUT then he gets the best family
@@hiko73 I'd be willing to bet they were probably mean, either that or they just wanted an excuse to get rid of him because some people like to view the precious angels as a temp animal. It drives me up the wall.
His previous family must her been busy. Showing no love. Husband must have been demanding.
They may have made him nervous.
he also seems very rational. no stupid or strange behavior one bit, seems psychologically perfectly healthy, maybe their family wasn’t that bad. we don’t know the story
excuse me it's hooch now
This guy needs a TH-cam channel. I would love watching his journey, and how he takes care of that many dogs.
He does, it's called asher house
He does have one.
he is on fb too
The asher house on you tube
The Asher House has a lot of videos on TH-cam and has a FB page. He is the best and I have spent hours watching his videos.
Hooch is a perfect dog to live at a rescue. He can help the new dogs coming in to feel safe and balanced. The way he accepted that little Chihuahua was just beautiful. And he’s an alpha to all the other dogs, but still a beta compared to his human. Hooch is second-in-command. A steady and in control of himself second. Lovely.
I think Kai was barking only because he wanted to let Brutus know that he's not a chicken nugget.
lmao ...so true..small dog syndrome, If I bark loud, they'll think I'm Big ..hahahaha
Truth hahaha
I mean yeah that makes sense !! Gotta let em know!
LOL!! 😂
lol !!!
He’s not just well behaved, he’s very calm. Really makes you wonder what that family was doing to the poor boy, huh.
I was thinking that the husband might've been the "energetic" type of person, to it or perhaps to his wife or daughter, so the dog was just defensive against violence against itself or the women :/ 🤷♂️Buuuut assuming makes an ass out of me, soo, yeah, no clue ^^
My dog was rescued from a domestic violence situation. He was very paranoid that some strange man was going to hurt me. It was very difficult to work through that. If this is what happened with Brutus, it probably actually helped that he was rescued by a sweet, gentle man at a time when he didn’t have a woman or child to protect.
Probably just lied to get rid of the dog, I heard one "Excuse" was the dog didn't match the new decoration in the house, a 12 year old chihuahua I think it was. Some people just lie cos they don't want the dog anymore
@@blackcountryme wtf how can a shelter take in a dog because of this reason ?😕😕
@@user-kv6ty7ge8u Well, they don't, but then the owners lie and say the dog hates men or is aggressive (like in this video), aaand they have to. In short - humans suck sometimes.
Okay, easy to see that ending coming!! Love this guy's love for dogs, he is amazing!! I'm glad that Hooch found himself a better family and a better name! He is adorable!
You must be a very special man, to have so many dogs love you this much.
"they say he doesn't like men". Lee is no regular man, he's an angel
Lee has a heart that continues to expand.
We need more men, that are not afraid to show love to an animal!
I want a man like that!
Lee has natural beauty inside and outside❤️❤️❤️❣️That is rare❤️❤️❤️❣️
Head canon accepted
@@swissmaid Same.
Previous Owners: “Brutus is aggressive. Kai: "Hold my beer...."
That cracked me up.
😂 lol!
Lol I can see Kai doing that LOL.

Lol 😆
Hello Florence how are you doing today ?
Feb '24
Just love Lee so much. His confidence with the dogs is contagious. He's made the world better... along with everyone else who's good to animals.
Blessings to everyone ❤😊
He came right up to your face and gave kisses!!! That shows how sweet and NOT aggressive he is! 🥰🥺🥺
The family gave up the dog because of aggressive face licking, obviously.
“I’m not gonna keep him, I’m not gonna keep him...” Brutus had you at hello.
I had a friend back in my childhood, they had a senior dog that kept it's distance, slept all the time etc. Then when he passed, they got a puppy.
The puppy was amazing, but they were so used to their senior dog's behaviour, they viewed the puppy as a bad dog. The puppy grew up to be a normal dog, & they still hated him, kept him outside cause he wanted to greet people & play, cuddle on the furniture (my favorite part of having a dog)...
It was awful. Yelling at him for being a normal dog. They gave him away to another family member, a single lady in her 40s. When I found out, I was relieved when I talked to her, & she said she hated the way the poor dog was treated. She cuddled with the good little boy, spoiled him, took him everywhere with her...
That lady became a permanent dog lover, & I developed a crush on a much older woman haha... She's 65 now, & I still adore her & her house full of dogs😁💜🙋🐕🐕🐕
@@tobymcgroby8967 what a wonderful story thank you for sharing and god bless :D
@@m4mc294 just trying to rebalance the ratio of good stories vs bad stories. Tired of reading horrific comments.. Err, thank you lol
I think what Lee meant when he said "I'm not going to keep him" he actually meant I'm not going to keep his name Brutus, and thus changed it to Hooch 😀
He sure did!
The only reason they couldn’t handle him clearly wasn’t because of aggression but because of who they were.
Agree
Yep, he was with the wrong people. Bless his heart❤️
He was probably stuck in a small house with no human or dog company most of the time, and little exercise.
Probably, the previous owners were bullying Brutus ...
@@Bluejelly13 was thinking that too.
This cutie clearly got the wrong treatment. Such a wonderful heart. Nothing wrong with him at all. Happy to see PomPom again. Still love her. Anytime she shows up in a video, she makes me smile, so adorable. 16 and still going strong.
Sweet baby Pom Poms sadly passed. :( I still haven't watched the goodbye video because it'd hurt me too much right now.
@@SatieSatie Oh, no… that’s so sad to hear. Glad, she had a loving home and family and felt warm and held when she slept away. So sad they always go too soon. And we‘re never ever prepared to let them go.
This man is a angel for dogs. Thank you Lee for what you do. Be blessed
He lets a man straight pick him up like he’s a little puppy. Aggressive?! Naw. His behavior is absolutely uncontrollable. Just pure love and affection flowing out of him.
𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕!
@Dog Supremacy right?! We always had Chesapeakes growing up and getting them into the truck was always a chore because the second you slipped your arm under their belly they were having NONE OF IT. Like full on attack mode. Hooch looks like an absolute PRO.
@cqvio doli I understand why they were afraid.
Scared or not, that’s the owner’s issue to deal with. It’s not fair to take it out the dog. Maybe they were projecting their fears onto him: that he would become uncontrollable and aggressive. Or maybe they provoked him bc of their fears ("kill them before they kill me" kind of idea). Regardless, that’s the owner’s responsibility to deal with their fears, not the dog. The dog is essentially an innocent child.
@@Roselyroses wrong. you could have pefect owners and pit bulls could still snap at any second. they were BRED to be fighting dogs. i dont think pit/breeds owners understand this. its literally stamped into pitbulls DNA. them not fighting and biting other things is like telling a shark to eat only vegetables. i mean, their name is PITBULL. just think about that for a second.
“They said he doesn’t like men.”
No, he doesn’t like the man that owned him. He’s an obviously very very sweet dog. If he was aggressive toward his previous owners, that means they were treating him wrong.
That’s just a lie. They made all that crap up so they don’t come across as assholes for wanting to get rid of him. This happens a lot tbh.
@@brendanvannyss6612 finally Someone said it... The whole video i was yelling like "THEY LIEEEED FFS!"
I think what he did, by picking the dog up, was exactly right. He knows he’s safe, and he’s not the strong one.
.
@@brendanvannyss6612 I've actually had women at shelters tell me the exact same thing, it wasn't the previous owners that said "He doesn't like men" it was the women working there. I'm pretty sure they were just projecting their own misandry onto the dog as it took me all of 10 secs to get the dog to enjoy hanging out with me (a male) Dogs don't naturally suffer from prejudice, they work off of body language and how you treat them. (If you're nervous, they're nervous, if you're scared, they're scared, if you're welcoming and nice, they'll be welcoming and nice)
The change in his eyes from shelter to home is delightful to see. He's in doggy heaven with you!
I wonder what his previous family thinks when they see this. Clearly he didn't like THAT family. I'm just glad Hooch is finally in the perfect home with an amazing human and several other doggie friends!
This guy really understands dogs. Massive respect.
Yup. He gets it.
You have to follow Lee from The Asher House sanctuary. He's already had a number of Dodo videos - and he has his own channel. He' awesome. What a beautiful dog too. Bizarre that he was labeled aggressive. He's a total sweetheart!
This is Lee from The Asher House. I love him!! 💖
Yep, mad respect,, awesome dude
Facts
To think that this sweet dog didn't connect with anyone in his former house is sad. All he needed clearly was a good owner.
I agree. He wasn't a bad dog, he just had bad former guardians.
Word
I dont think he had bad owners per se. They wrote a letter and yes, a letter is no justification that they're good but it could just be that he didnt click with the previous owners for whatever reason(s). Maybe one person in the family treated him badly or maybe he was traumatized by something in the old home and associate it with bad/negative.
@@kobisjeruk I'll reserve judgemental feelings I have, but that kiddos body language speaks volumes. I work with abused dogs as a volunteer (adopted one too) and it's all about how you treat them and show them how you love them and will protect them and take care of them. My rescue was terrified of me when she first saw me, but once we went out on a walk together she changed completely. Within the first 48 hours she fell asleep with her head on my thigh, paws up in the air. Dogs are pretty good judges of character. They may show apprehension and fear with a new person, but once you let them approach you on their own terms, they are pretty darn perceptive of a person's intentions for the most part.
@@FWDSUXARSE It was the fear of the doorway for me. That brief moment of hesitance. My dog has some form of trauma (I think she might've lived in a cage her whole life before Hurricane Harvey liberated her), and years later, she's still a bit nervous around doors. Like she's afraid of what will come through them. And that moment where Hooch hesitated? I think he was afraid of the same thing.
You did it again Lee! We love you and your furry kids!!!
Lee is such a beautiful human being. His soul is pure and filled with love
I love how Dodo is acknowledging that there's no point hiding the fact that Lee is just going to adopt the animal, no matter the animal.
I've seen him successfully Foster and give away at least 2 dogs; I've seen him foster fail like 8 times.
Lee is awesome, I love when he foster fails, lol.
@@dspadi1017 that dogs great no way is that dog to aggressive
@@dspadi1017 Foster fails?
What an awesome human being,
His last owners did Brutus the biggest favour, because now he knows he’s got the best home ever. 🥰
Exactly!!!! He definitely won the pup lottery.
I know your joking, but don't disguise the fact that they abandoned brutus, and traumatized him.
@@Thughunter510 I don't think he was joking. Rather give a dog a better opportunity for a better home, than have him to stay, in an environment that was traumatizing.
People don't deserve dogs. They are way too pure for us.
My face hurts from smiling through the whole video. It was sooo good. 😊👍💕
Sometimes giving up a dog to give them even a slim chance at a better life is best. I used look after a beautiful border collie called Denver when his owner was no longer able. he was the friendliest sweetest dog I've ever known even if he was a big clumsy dumbass but we had to give him up when we went through some hard times. We just didn't have the time to look after a high maintenance dog and somtimes love isn't a good enough reason to keep an animal that you cannot provide for. I hope he's happy wherever he is now.
I'd like to say his foster dad is incredible. what a kind and gentle soul.
Thankfully now he’s in a home that understands dogs are not just for Christmas!! 😊👍
This is the guy who adopted that super over weight german shepherd and made him healthy and happy😌 he is an amazing person. He owns all rescues and dedicates his life to rescuing dogs.
The Asher House is the most amazing rescue! It keeps evolving and I’m loving it! ♥️
Same here lizardbreath
It’s Tony!
@@olivia3163 oh yeah it is
Ya you can see Tony in this vid when they are in the water
This guy is literally what all humans should strive to be like. A genuine hero
Definetly agree.
He is inspiring! I'll watch this video whenever I feel low about humankind.
I don't have money to live like this? This guy done this his whole life and probably struggled money wise but recently got famous enough for some sponcership + I could imagine he was a spokesman somehow. He's living his dream and not everybody is that lucky to do what you love. I don't get my pension paid out till i'm 82. I have to work this shitty job over 50 more years or till i'm dead. Not forced but again everybody is not that lucky
Agreed 💯
Thank you 😊...
Lee is the loveliest guy. The dogs love him so much, that says everything…. They trust him 100% ❤
They didn’t have to lie on that boi like that. He’s the man.
No, past owners, he likes men, he just didn't like YOU. Good for Brutus.
Spot on!
You mean HOOCH
YES
That’s probably not the case they just didn’t like him being super affectionate and took it as being hostile.
BINGO!!!! Love this comment!!!
"Aggressive"? "He doesn't like men" ? this same thing was said to me when I adopted my Cane Corso but she was all over me. She has always been a loving dog, but one day she met a guy at the park and became stand-offish and when he raised his voice at me about her, she became very protective. I've taken her to many places with tons of people and men she loved for hugs and belly rubs. I have a neighbor who she has been loving too but one day also got very protective of me, well turns out he had been drinking. Since then discovered anyone that been drinking she does not like. Did some research found the previous owner was an aggressive drunk and she was only getting in between him and family when he was drunk, all I can say 6 years later she still the same loves us and just keep away from heavy drinkers. And to the previous family, you got rid of the wrong animal.
That's a popular thing to say now.
Wow! Thanks for sharing that!
Yes they did
Same happened
Very attractive young woman came in with a beautiful male German shepherd that she raised from a pup
She brought him in because she said, and i quote, "My fiance and I were arguing and when he got in my face, my dog wedged himself between us and got in my fiance's face. So my fiance said I have to get rid of the dog...'
She told that story to four women and one man.
It was the MAN among us that clarified with this woman...
"So your fiance was in your FACE, your dog physically put himself between the two of you, to protect YOU, and you're surrendering the dog instead of breaking it off with your fiance???'
@@privateprivate5302 damn she didn't deserve him at all ! I'd definetly Broke Up with my Girlfriend if she would make me choose between Her and my Dog!
So what happend to that Dog ? Hope He ist fine :)
Best greetings From Germany :)
OMG, How Beautiful! I also wonder how many times such amazing Dogs have been put down due to misinformation or outright Lies from aggressive or abusive owners!
There is no one like LEE ASHER. HE IS THE BEST!!!😊
Amazing how he meets the dog. Everything he does is deliberate and sets the tone
Brutus was probably acting “aggressive” because there was really bad energy at his previous home. Dogs can sense it and he probably acted up because he didn’t feel safe. So happy he found a place where he’ll be loved. Happy for you Hooch!!!
yup
Truth! Animals can sense bad energy and dark people.
That's what I'm thinking. The man or men in that other house must have been doing something extremely negative, maybe trying to totally control him in an abusive way. Naming him Brutus gives you a hint. Maybe they wanted some kind of vicious pit bull and couldn't deal with having gotten a sweetheart instead.
The great thing is that Hooch didn't seem to have been damaged by it. Thank God.
And then the guy just fell head over heals in love with him. From the second he laid eyes on him. THAT was awesome.
Maybe Hooch just knew this person was out there that he needed to be with ❤😊
I have a friend who works at a no-kill county animal shelter. She told me that a lot of people who turn in animals just make up wild stuff about the animal they're dumping as some kind of justification for not keeping it. It could just be that the people who had him didn't want him and just lied.
@@r.mcbride2837 that’s kinda what I was thinking for sure, or he was destroying things because he wasn’t getting proper exercise and care and the owners blamed him for that also. Either way it wasn’t the dogs fault.
It really makes you wonder what was going on in that environment for an animal like this to behave aggressively, assuming that was even the case. Every living creature is capable of thriving with love and support.
It kinda feels like they didn't have a good excuse as to why they didn't want him, so they lied and to drill it in more they went over the top with the lie.
@@AeridisArt as in they wanted him put to sleep dead.
I have come across people who lied when they released a dog. Interesting the shelter did not immediately put him down...thankfully.
Makes me scared that there is a man in the house abusing a human, if the story was truthful.
Here's one possible scenario. Like all pitties/pittie mixes, Brutus was adorable as a puppy but as he grew, the owners sort of expected him to "raise himself". They did not train him and shape his behavior, and they gave him a scary name. I believe Brutus's owners were actually afraid of him, scared of his energy, and the dog, sensing abandonment, reacted.
Gives me piece knowing there’s still such amazing human beings in this world total respect lads
He's wondering about you rolling around on the floor. I hope his previous family gets to see just how sweet he is when he's loved!
I'm not sure what his previous owners did to him but he seem like a perfectly sweet and normal dog to me. People are idiots.
Probably the previous owner is a woman having one night stands with different men. Brutus instinctively defends Master. Hahahahahaha... Just a hypothesis lol
Probably a fake excuse.
Exactly. If what they said in their letter was true, & not just some BS in order to remove blame from themselves, that pup felt unsafe. Whether they hurt him intentionally, or not, something went awry.
Yes!!! Idiots!!
I agree
Sad, but at least his original family didn't just dump him off on a country road somewhere as some do. They left him where they knew he would be cared for, you have to give them that much. Not every dog is a good match for a family.
My ex bought two dogs. I didn't want a dog. As I had a busy life and I couldn't care for them. She had them for a week and Rocky got injured. 2 weeks later I took them to the RSPCA. They got rehomed after a few weeks/month's and they have forever homes. That was 2012.
I thought the same thing. At least they put him in a shelter where he can have a chance at a better life with a fit forever family. That's love.
Very true
No such thing as a bad dog! Just bad humans that happen to them! With the right love, care & attention all dogs are wonderful! Lee & his pack are proof of that! Those dogs are living their best happy life & it shows in the love they give Lee back!
Watching this video TOTALLY put me in a happy place. Thank you, Mr. Lee Asher and family, for being the best human beings and canines ever!! Love, peace and blessing to you and your pack!! ☺💖🙏
Just found out about Lee and have been binge watching all I can! It's all great emotionally which I didn't know I needed.
It warms my heart just knowing Lee Asher exists, making all these dogs who were "unwanted" wanted.
Same ❤️
I love this so much!!! I’m happy thank u
Man, it’s hard to believe that people this kind exist anymore.
That would be my dream! ❤️❤️❤️
It's SO BEAUTIFUL! Aren't dogs so trusting and why we must always protect them and watch over them. Beautiful human being and dogs!💗🐕💗
Thank you for taking him. Don't people realize when they surrender a dog and label him as aggressive it could be a death sentence? Especially when it's so not true in this case.
I think they did. They wrote a death sentence around his neck as one final act of inhumane monstrous abuse. Sociopaths. I wish they had been called out and banned from pet adoptions
@@Norinia I agree!!
@@unfailingcolt8928 l also agree but I think 🤔 they did it for some reason and maybe the guy hit him a few times and now the dog 🐕 would growl and bit him in self defense or they were just sick 🤢 in the head. I can't believe someone would want that friendly dog put down.
@@irenemarano8241 there’s some real nut jobs out there. He’s better off with Lee and his brood anyways. I love Lee and all he’s done for his pups.
@@unfailingcolt8928 You are right ,he is better off now.Yes, I am aware that we have nut 🥜 jobs amongst us, I have met quite a few.!!! Happy Holidays 🎆❤️🎆❤️🎆
thank you so much for taking him in..You could tell from the very start that was going to happen, he loved you right away
Beautiful man. Nothing is more attractive than seeing a man that not only loves animals, not only rescues animals BUT HAS A SANCTUARY!!!!!
Amazing!!
Precious baby Hooch!!! Im pretty such the previous owners made up all that bs about him, idk for what reason, maybe they thought they would get into trouble for surrendering him?
People sure are fucking stupid.
AMEN to that ! 😮
"He doesnt like men."
/Brutus immediately falls in love with Lee/
Trust your pets, they're an excellent judge of character.
Hmm. It’s possible that the owners had the dog around unsavory men, and instead of listening to the dog, they blamed him. That’s all they do in the note is blame the dog. I put the full blame on the owners. Animals are rarely at fault. Humans are to blame somehow or another when things go awry.
@@Roselyroses I agreed, a los of times my Chihuahua yalls to a friendly Lady who sometimes visit us and a jerk who stole money from us so trust me when I tell you they know others people intentions and energys
This is absolutely not true all the time lol. My dogs LOVED my step daughter's boyfriend and he ended up being complete trash.
(Edit, messed up a word)
@@sibyl4398 Good point. Dogs are terrible at judging people, but great at recognizing dog characters. I also notice that often bad humans somehow resonate with dogs. Dogs are most often crazy gullible and want to be led and loved. Bad people are often on a psycopathic scale - manipulative, charming, spends time becoming impressive. Domesticated dogs are easy prey to that.
@@sibyl4398 there is always two sides of a coin😌
There’s nothing wrong with this dog at all. He’s a very good dog. He’s so well behave, affectionate & gentle. His previous owners were the problem & the bad ones. They dont deserve to own a dog.
The problems walks at the end of the line in 99 % of the cases!
There’s no such thing as bad dogs, just bad owners.
How i judge dog is how I see the owner. If the owner doesn't look stable I know the dog is a problem because of it's owner. Some people just don't deserve dogs.
Sure don't. I was just saying that this boy didn't like THEM, not the other way around. He's just plain ADORABLE! 💓💓💓
He probably didn't like having to be the alpha in the old house. He was so comfortable falling in to the pack.
How can you not LOVE this man. His heart is always full
of love ❤❤❤❤❤
The world needs more humans like this guy! ❤❤❤
“It’s our pleasure”
Kai: “NOT MINE”
🤣
That little midget... XD
😂😂😂
it was always the smallest be having the biggest attitude 😂
Oh Boy! This dog's aggression is really high.Even his tail could knock the guy down!
😀
lol
@@Annie-ct1xb lmao
It's like the dog I got in the shelter.. mine is pretty nice too.. just not good with smaller dogs for first week or so.. after that mine was fine.. Their just playing which some people think is an aggressive dog.. they just need more attention and love that they've been wanting..
More likely he just had owners who couldn't be bothered to give him the attention and exercise he needed so he just got bored and into mischief. It happens a lot with people who want a pet but don't realize dogs need more than food, pats when you're home, and a house to lounge around.
Lee is one of a kind I hold this gentlemen with the highest esteem...bless you and bless all the furry pups you care for.
Hooch is an absolute darling! Best dog ever! I'm so glad his previous owners surrendered him to the shelter. Best thing they ever did for him. ❤❤❤❤❤
If there was a "happiest person in the world" index, this man is way up there.
We would all be, with that much love!😉
His behaviour is uncontrollable
Yes, his affection knows no bounds and cannot be controlled
I think some people say that so they look less like a pos
@@imatowel5930 the honest answer is just better tbh "we don't want him anymore or we can't take care of him" simple and understandable
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂❤️ for Hooch.
Omg. What a total Lurve Bug. Bet that doggie never had so much one on one love in his life. ! And he,s adoring every minute of it.
The Asher House is the best...so many rescues that have found their forever home because of him & his crew.... love the videos.
Hooch recognizes a Legend!! Love you Lee, keep doing what you do❤️❤️🦾🦾!!!
"I'm not keeping him." My dude, he has decided he's keeping you😀
omg yes!
This guy is awesome!!!
666 likes, lady wytch 👀🧙♀️
When will we humans learn, we're the pets!!!!
Omg, that's so true 😂
“He doesn’t like men, he must like my feminine side” 😂😂
This is a great story, I’m happy he got rid of his family that didn’t like him
😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How ignorant you can be, maybe family didn't knew how to handle dog, maybe they was behaving wrong and letting him be the alpha, maybe he didn't like kids, maybe there was only females in family and he indeed was alpha so he was aggressive to any man that approaches etc. Why you judge without knowing family or ex owner, without knowing whole situation?? Guy from video is professional and know very good what he is doing. You know that family did not like him, what ignorance! I gave away my dog years back, so he can have better life. I cried my eyes out for days, but it was best decision for him. So you gonna say I didn't liked him?
@@mikiknops9667 hello internet troll lol
If a dog lets a stranger pick him up within the first hours of meeting him, while the previous owners cited aggression, I promise you, that dog didn’t trust the previous owner. If a dog doesn’t trust you, you will see aggression.
clearly this dog did not trust the male (among other family members?) in the house and felt no one else in the pack could protect him from that person.
If a dog with this demeanor doesn’t trust a person, I’d trust the dog lol
How ignorant can you be to have a dog and not understand how to demonstrate pack dominance..? Regardless, this man didn’t need to exert dominance. He was just calm And welcoming. Basic body language when meeting a new dog.
I also foster and it’s easy to tell when dogs come from a home where they are not wanted/their needs are not met. Something happened to this poor dog and it wasn’t the dog’s fault.
Pack dominance typically looks like food dominance, protecting the kids from who they deem a threat to the pack’s safety, etc..
again, owner cited “male aggression” not child aggression (which derives from a lack of socialization).. clearly there’s no deep rooted aggression in this dog - he was unwanted and felt unprotected
If you can’t handle your dog, properly socialize or care enough to understand how to handle your dog, The dog was never truly a part of your family/pack and it’s best you put them in a situation where they’ll thrive.
I also never said “all ppl who give their dog away don’t like their dogs” did you watch the video or you just triggered?
@@abigailcoe3955 And again, not knowing whole situation you are drawing conclusions about family that did not want him or love him. My mother fostered more then 200 dogs till the day, we had my whole life at least 4 dogs in our house. Be smart enough not to draw conclusions from TH-cam tittles or one sided stories. I am sure you have heart on right place, just put the feeling on side and don't judge.
I could draw different conclusion, that owners of that dogs was females, and dog thought he is alpha in house because they didn't knew how to put him on his place. Whenever some man was with females who dogs thought he own, he was getting aggressive. Both of us could be right or wrong, but at least I don't draw conclusions about family not wanting him or not loving him. At least we agree that he is sweet dog.
@@mikiknops9667 no you just like calling people names 🙄😂
The thing is, people can learn how to interact with their dog. Clearly these ppl chose not to.
I’m the owner of two male bully breed dogs and constantly foster. I’ve never had that issue. So the generalization you’re making isn’t true. I made no generalization. I watched the video and I understand canine behavior.
There’s a reason this dog was “aggressive” with the ppl handling him prior. And I guarantee you, it was the humans fault. Not the dog’s fault.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who foster falls! 😂 So thankful for Lee and all the beautiful people who love dogs and gives them a chance at their best lives! We truly don't deserve dogs! ❤
Lee just has a way with animals. I think they just sense how much he cares.
There's just something so wholesome seeing a grown adult surrounded buy dogs and almost falling over in a Dogpile
Just seeing anyone surrounded by dogs that clearly love you is already wholesome. If not outright beautiful.
@@coroanmon10023 when my 3 dogs and 3 cats come to greet me at the door i would receive the pig pile welcome. there's no better welcome home in the world. all that love makes life worth living.
I loved that he got down on the ground and rolled around with him! Hooch is an amazing dog, and I knew it from the moment I saw him. They're going to enjoy each other for years to come!
Lee is awesome
We adopted an Alaskan Malamute that we were told was a noisy, bossy, misbehaved dog. We gave her a house, food, lots of love, the medical attention she desperately needed, a large fenced yard to play in, and a companion. She was the sweetest dog I've ever known!
Thank god there are people like you, to give these dogs a chance. Thank you. All the best from Scotland.
@SUFYB: Malamutes are gorgeous dogs!
She probably was neglected! Dogs need human closeness, not just a yard and food!
Strong evidence that fails are usually due to the adopters' inadequacy, not the dogs' behavior.
Lovely, Lovely person, You.
I adore Lee and The Asher House
I’m so glad to see that hooch is happy! And he’s not being beaten any longer! That was the problem with the other owners, even if he smelt something or looked at them wrong, they would hit him! Now he’s loved and very well taken care of. This is so beautiful!

What a surprise! 😂 This man is the BIGGEST foster failure ever. I know if I were a dog, I’d want to be one this mans failures too. 🥰
there’s NO way i’d be able to foster
There are some great people who foster quite a few animals, and do so year after year. Yet, in my experience most first time fosters end up as “failures” where the people end adopting the animal themselves. We fostered 10 dogs for the local humane society. They were all hard to give up, even though they went to good homes. We ended up keeping the last one and stopped fostering.
This guy has the biggest heart for doggies! He's so inspiring! I wish him & his dog family all the very best! God bless!
That guy is giving those dogs their best life. Most people can't give that much energy/time/money etc with one animal.
Best foster fail lol. Hooch definitely looks happy! (and terribly ferocious) 😂
@@kirstieb8025 Thank you for fostering! Impressive 1 it of ten record, that's hardcore!
Thank you Asher House.
