She didn't find Hippo, Hippo found her. And who is to say that one day when you wake up that something so beautiful will make your life complete.
Bingo.
They def add a sense of purpose to your life!
Very much agreed 💯
That’s a American Bully . That’s not a Pit Bull
❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊
That's not just a woman, that's Kelsey Darragh!! I've absolutely loved her since her Buzzfeed days :) I love how honest and vulnerable she's always been, and I'm so happy she and Hippo found each other 💕
I recognize her as well. She is awesome ^^
Yeah she a woman and being on buzz feed doesn't make her some sort of hero.
@@adrianfleming3437they just mean she’s not some random person, she has a pretty big following online
@@greenbeantm1096 doesn't matter man wow BuzzFeed the pits it's as bad as Murdoch. Her doing this doesn't achieve anything man expect she blowing her own ego around
Me too ❤👏👏👏👏👏
Please The Dodo, stop making me cry. I'm a grown man. These heartwarming videos make me melt like a 6 years old.
Me too ❤
I feel you there. These videos are good for the soul.
This hippo has an amazingly expressive face. Seeing those sad eyes when he was at the shelter, to such a joyful dog, how amazing. He truly has found the best human 💖
I CLICKED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT KELSEY FOR SOMETIME NOW!!! Hahaha I know she fosters dogs but I never imagined seeing her in The Dodo ♥
Kelsey Darragh from buzzfeed?? I thought I recognised her voice and face!
@Matticus Areias probably because she has said she’d cheat again if she had the chance.
@@beepboop4016 that video was from before they met and she and her partner had an open relationship so that wasn't the issue.
Does anyone remember her from tipsy bartending youtube videos? I’ve been a fan ever since.
They just did the same video last week!
Kelsey and Hippo! I'm so glad she adopted him. They were made for each other.
I hope she doesn't end up mauled to death by this ticking time bomb. There's a reason pit bulls are banned in countries such as the UK.
@@nomchompsky3012 oh gtfo of here negative nancy no one needs that bullshit right now
@@nomchompsky3012 says more about the country than the breed
@@nomchompsky3012 oh look another all-knowing troll
@@asheeshsinha2631 You're right. The fact the US doesn't ban pit bulls says a lot about their disregard for the sanctity of life, particularly the lives of children who are mauled to death by pit bulls - one of the most vicious, destructive breeds ever created.
I have a Pitt that is now 7 years old and is my ESA as he has been with me through the passing of my wife and mother within months of each other. Ko (my Pitt) has helped me through these hard times better than any ‘Hooman” could do.
I lost my wife after 17 year. The loss one way or the other is all consuming. My little dog Benny kept me sane.
I am very sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
Every animal comes into our lives for a reason. Love.
Yesssss, on my birthday, the day after a serious car accident, broken ribs & arm, face swollen...Even when my body aches, he cuddles up & won't leave my side, a blessing🐾🐾
My ex rescued a lot of animals while being an animal control officer aka "dog catcher". A couple were Staffordshire terroirs, and one was a red nose golden eye. She took to me and when we broke up, I gave my word to take care of her. She lived 16 years and helped me through some really bad times. These dogs have so much love and I appreciate all of them.
No it doesnt- animals dont feel love, love is a human emotion?
No it doesnt- animals dont feel love, love is a human emotion?
@@mariabria2671 Your ignorance is astounding. If you have ever been around a dog or cat you would know.
I remember seeing her on insta, and EVERYONE immediately said “That’s her baby, you need to foster fail him now.” You could just see the love. Two souls in need, bonded and found each other, now neither will ever be alone.
Also, pitties have the greatest oddball ways of sitting. They kind of dog in their own unique, and beautiful way 😂
God and Jesus love you
@Tom who pissed in you're cereal
@@tonyepic8 do you speak english idiot? 🤣🤣🤣
@Tom you think pits only dog that can maim or kill anyone?
@@tonyepic8 the dog in this video is not a pit bull
He was home the minute he saw you and vice versa. One of the best foster fails ever. HIPPO YOU ARE AWESOME! And you are both lucky to have each other! xoxo Thanks for sharing!
She’s so lucky to have Hippo
Kelsey??? Oh my gosh! I've wondered what happened to her! She was always my favorite from Buzz. So glad she is so happy with pibbles. ❤️ what a beautiful story
I think she works with the Try Guys now. She's in some of their podcasts/video.
@@gabbym333 she actually has her own channel and podcast. She just happens to appear in the Try Guys videos sometimes
@@MDev1997 She also wrote a book and I think is working on another one.
@@MDev1997 whats the name of the channel here please?
@@dmp1520 I think it's just under her name, Kelsey Darragh on TH-cam. Her Podcast is probably linked with her personal channel
When a human tells you he/she’ll love you forever, you’re never sure these words are true and sincere. When an animal offers you his love, it’s eternal and unconditional. You are a very lucky woman! ❤
i am sure that when she soul searched after the breakup, she concluded it was all her partners fault.
@Hilde D I agree with everything you wrote!
@@aSSGoblin1488 Lol. Yep. Covert Narc. I spotted it right away
💯
You couldn't have said it better. And this is a wonderful love story.
Thanks so much for helping/saving that sweet guy Hippo. Nothing better than seeing happy and playful and healthy dog-friends!
So happy you kept Hippo 🦛 cute name by the way. He’s in the right place. ❤🐶🌟
Bless his heart what a doll
Just another reason why dogs are soooo amazing! 🐾💖🐾💖
Yes..dogs are very special❤️❤️😭😭😭😭
Pinsch Runner, I couldn't agree more
@Margie Smith 😂 . You don’t even know what a pit is. Because that’s not a pit bull
@@rawjan39 it is. It's one of the breeds in the pittbull category.
@@butteryfriedwizard2219 The only and real pit bull is the APBT . That’s a American bully . The American bully is not a pit bull . The AMERICAN bully never was placed in the Pit
Showing us what honest, unconditional love is all about. Good boy Hippo.❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾
Hippo makes the world a better place because of your beautiful heart! His heat beats with yours!
I lost a child and if it wasn’t for my dog, I would have never made it through! Thank you Barney!
I am so sorry for you. We lost my little sister over 60 years ago. My dad was in Army at time after 2 wars and losing her he adopted and loved our strays. His way of atonement, I guess, My mom , hard to say. I don’t think she lost much of her ability to cope with life. Please try your best to cope with it and reach out to others if that will help you. You’ll be in my prayers.
Same here. I lost my wife in January. God, and my fur family are my support group.
Condolences for your loss.
❤️🙏
Yup!
OMG he is so adorable 🥰 Just full of pure genuine love ❤️
Love or life?
Great name, too.
Since the first time I had a pittie, I've never been interested in any other breed. Their love knows no bounds and they are so empathetic to their family. They know when you are hurting and what you need to feel better. They have the sweetest smiles, and they have the best smushy faces EVER!
I adopted a GSD who's name is King. I was told not to adopt him since he's too, 'aggressive' but in reality he was just scared. It took a month for him to eventually open up to me but now, 6 months later he's the happiest gsd in the world. Honestly when he laid his head on my lap my brain just shut down and I wanted to cry in pure joy.
Hey....that's Kelsey Darragh and Hippo. Loved seeing them after so long ♥
who is she, if i may ask?
@@LisaMarie-rh5yn She used to work for Buzzfeed and now is an author, influencer in some movies etc. Shes a pretty cool down to earth human.
What a perfect name for a perfect puppy.
Especially when she referred to him as a "House Hippo," at the end.
You are meant for each other ! Continue to be a blessing to each other . ❤❤❤
What a touching story U saved Hippo and he turned around and saved U what a blessing
Who cannot love this guy? He's so adorable!💜
I know. But I'm wondering why he left her, maybe because she referred to him as her "partner". Lol
@@yoursportsnow9729 you sound stupid
@@lenalouwho4100 you're probably just mad because the joke hit a nerve, it's ok someone will love you. Lol
@@yoursportsnow9729 you sound pretty mad on a dodo video lol.
@@nayel6382 that's the go to when do t have anything to say, call the other person mad. Lol. How an I mad when you guys are the one's who can't take a joke? Lol you tried though bless your heart.
I saw the thumbnail with Kelsey and Hippo and already knew this was a foster fail video. What a perfect dog for her ❤️
They never lie to you, they never betray you, they never leave you. A dog really is a woman's best friend!
So glad people like her advocate for animals that need loving forever homes❤️
I watched this entire story unfold on Tik Tok from the very beginning. Hippo and Kelsey are just AMAZING and so full of love.
I did too! It was fun to watch! I need to go check her account out again, she hasnt shown up on my fyp in a while.
When I went to the pound I was looking for a small dog which didn’t cast!!! However……..there I fell in love with a 5yr old 40kg golden Labrador ❤ She really rescued me, gave me the courage to leave an abusive relationship and was there when both my parents died giving me the strength to carry on with life! She (and her 1yr old brother) is the love of my life, my world, my everything 🥰🥰
Sometimes the animal you want isn't the one you need or needs you.
I've always been drawn to the ones other people don't want myself. Don't know what I'd do without my cats to take care of. They're my near constant companions.
Had 2 literally from birth & they're very bonded to one another too. They get to into grooming wars on who's grooming who. It's hilarious!
Plus I took in a senior kitty that used to belong to a friend when his humans needed to give him up.
I just had to let the universe know I'd only consider a third cat if it was very special kitty & orange. Got me a Tigger for my 40th birthday. Best present ever. Especially now that the other two are accepting him finally. Kinda packed in bed though.
When a heart has found the true reflection of love 🐾
The two seconds of video when he sits in the shelter and looks at the camera...instant tears in my eyes
Me too. Such longing for love.💖
Love this story. For me - I have an obsessive, anxious, overbearing, little pittie girl who was on the brink of death when I rescued her. She is so demanding of attention that I figured I was just destined to be single for the rest of my life, as I did not believe that I would ever be able to find a man who would willing/able to tolerate her. And then I met a man who fell madly in love...with my dog. And we're all living happily ever after.
hahahaha. starcrossed love.
I love this! 🥰
This video never gets old. Dogs truly are angels.
I lost my partner a year ago and i've taken her little doggo under my wing and he's like my son i never had. I never had any kids but he is like my little boy. He truly has saved my life after her passing. If it wasn't for him i would not be sitting here today. 🐶🐶🐶
Sending you love ❤
I’m sorry for your lost. He is your fur baby. Glad you 2 have each other
❤️🤗
I'm so sorry for your loss.
💕💕💕💕
Dogs and their love are so pure!
When a dog tells you that he or she loves you, it's so overwhelming. The little booty shake, the wagging tail, the eyes. I am so jealous. What a lovely dog ♥️
Dogs adopted from shelters and other bad situations are so grateful. They truly appreciate being saved, and they show it! 🙂 Great video 👍
I always wondered if animals in shelters have an idea that they are holding..it bothers me sometime
Yes, i saw the difference with those who were born here and those who i picked up at the shelter🥰
Ah... Yes... Of course! Adopting! Is this the reason why an adopted Pit Bull in Tennessee, LITERALLY THIS WEDNESDAY, killed a 2 year old toddler and a 5 month old baby?! Or why LITERALLY LAST MONTH in Staten Island, a two year old girl, a 13 year old boy and a 19 year old girl, were all brutally mauled by Pit Bulls?! Or maybe even ALSO LAST MONTH, why an 11 year old boy in Maraval, was killed by a Pit Bull?! Or guess what?! Is that why ALSO LAST MONTH, yet another 11 year old, an 11 year old girl in Vistabella, was also mauled to death by a Pit Bull?! Oh but wait... There's more! Is that also why, AGAIN LAST MONTH, a 2 year old boy in Killeen was also mauled to death by a Pit Bull?! Or maybe is that why that 1 year old toddler in Noida, was killed, mauled and had his intestines pulled out all over the street by stray Pit Bulls, ALSO LAST MONTH?! Hmm... I guess ''Pitties'' really are loving nanny dogs with over 55% of the 4,6 million reported dog bites each year (in U.S alone!), 73% of all reported dog attacks (in U.S alone!) and for over 65% of all lethal attacks (in U.S alone!) from 2010 to 2020! I GUESS WE SHOULD ALL ADOPT ONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
@@nogerboher5266 ever thought of why pit bulls are victim of this?
Gang use them, teach them to attack ,to protect their maffia asses.
They use the dog to create fear!
The dog isnt the problem, the owner is.
If you dont see that, shut the fck up
@@jasmijnariel I don't think I've read anything dumber than this on this website.
It's incredible how we can still have such kind people.... God bless you!
This was so beautiful it made me cry. Kelsey and Hippo always take care of each other.
Kelsey! She's always in so much physical pain & seeing her heartbroken was rough. Yay Hippo!
why is everyone saying this? does she constantly talk about her suffering or something?
There are A LOT of pit bulls that murder women and children. Look in the news, every week, women , old people, children gets killed by pit bulls. You are very foolish to raise a pit bull.
@@elduderino7767 she kinda documents her chronical pain and shares advice about how she handles it. She doesn't always talk about it, especially on social media, but she does podcast and wrote a book even, if I'm not wrong. It's just her journey, etc.
@@elduderino7767 people write about their illnesses and experience all the time , Carrie Fisher wrote a book about her struggles being Bipolar , it's called Postcards from the Edge, it was also made into a movie.
"I realized how truly weird he was". Says you, lady. Hippo's personality shines!
Being weird isn’t a bad thing
Since when is being weird a negative thing?
Also cheating on your boyfriend should void your rights to get in front of the camera and complain when he leaves. 🤷♂️
I believe she used the word "weird" in a personality-positive way.
@@brightbite we saying she weird cuz she brags about cheating and how she’d do it again in a heart beat. God bless ned cheating cuz he brought that video back up
something about foster fail videos will always warm my heart in particular pittie and staffy ones idk why
I love a good foster fail story. So happy Kelsey kept Hippo. She is perfect for him, and he is perfect for her! ❤💕❤
Why fail? It looks like she realized it was her partner whom she just wanted to foster and was ready to pass on 😉
@@HelenaBKay "Foster Fail" is the term lovingly used to describe when someone who is temporarily fostering an animal decides to keep said animal instead. Because they "Failed" at fostering(which, by definition, is supposed to be temporary).
@@Tensen01 I am not lacking knowledge, but you lack the ability to read. Or to understand a humorous comment...
If you need a mood lift this morning, Hippo and his forever Mama will do it! Thank you for giving this amazing boy a new happy, full-of-love life!
Love the cute name!!!!! Bless you for adopting him!!🐾🐾♥️♥️
This was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. This is what my dog does for me. All of a sudden, with them by your side, the day becomes brighter and easier to bear with every cute look they give you and every snuggle you share.
Coming home is the best part cause they are so excited to see u
I just lost my dog 4 days ago and Hippo reminds me so much of my boy and how he helped me💜🥺 this video warmed my heart
I'm sorry for your loss, I can relate...I'm still struggling with my loss of my boy Deacon a couple of years ago.
So sorry for your loss
Beautiful story Hippo
Im very sorry for your loss
God bless
Un abbraccio 💛
Glad you have him, he’s adorable!
i am very glad that you had this adorable animal; god bless the both of you xoxoxoxoxoxo
He has the biggest, brightest spirit. I absolutely adore him. So cute, smart, friendly. I couldn’t give him up. No way!
Sorry about your breakup. You are a beautiful young lady inside and out. Thank you for sharing sweet Hippo with us!
Oh my… this precious boy is amazing. Isn’t it a miracle when you realize that the pup you adopt becomes the one joy that gets you thru difficult times. This happened to me.. I know what a miracle this is. Good for you and Hippo.. I hope you are happy, content and in love.
That’s a great little happy video, and Hippo really did grow to be an adorable dog. Happiness to them both!❤
Oh he's absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ what a cutie. Well done you guys,that's true love right there!!
Ohhhh my fluff, I'm so in love with him 😍 I'm a senior widow with a 7 year old pitsky named Amazing Grace. She too has been such an amazing blessing and I thank God everyday for entrusting her to me. God bless all the furbabies and those who love them 👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
Amén ❤🙏🏻👑💕♥️🐶♥️🐶
BEAUTIFUL ! So happy for you - God bless 💖
It's truly heartbreaking thinking of so many little Hippos in cages, waiting to be rescued and loved the way they deserve... but also, soooo heartwarming to see him happy with his new mom
🥺
Your so called hippos are the dogs that kill most humans every year
@@stfu747 that might be true, but you honestly believe the problem comes from the dog breed, and not the lack of proper education and care from the owner ?
Kris is tan because she is from Nicuruagua.
I wish I had a nice home
There are A LOT of pit bulls that murder women and children. Look in the news, every week, women , old people, children gets killed by pit bulls. You are very foolish to raise a pit bull.
Looks like she found the right relationship for herself, one where everything is always on her terms.
@@archie15900 Wow, it sounds like I struck a nerve!
@@jbtechcon7434 BWAHAH! Yes it did.
What an incredibly sweet sweet doggo...:)
He has melted my heart 💜 beautiful 😍
I might not know the contents of their breakup, but I know for a fact that dogs are way more loyal than people. Glad Hippo was there and they saved each other
yep. look at the colour of her hair. huge red flag.
I know the context. I saw everything I needed to know he was dealing with a Covert Narc
Thank you for spreading love.
So glad she kept him. He chose her and she is his. I have a 6 year old rescue pit that is the most loving, gentle dog I've ever had.
If you’re gonna fail at something, a foster fail is definitely the way to go.
U^ェ^U💜
Is it really a failure? I mean, both sides win, right?

@@MegaForrestgump it’s meant as a term of endearment.
@@bear1245 I know. I was a foster fail with a pup years ago. He loved everybody.
So very true
Oh how I wish all animals in the shelters could be loved like this and have a family that loves them like she loves him
This story made me smile, feel good and my eyes teared up a little. Thank you for sharing
Maybe share it with your partner
I have said this before and I will say it again. When we rescue them they will always rescue us 🇺🇸 ❤
100% I have rescued two dogs in my life. One I had for 15 years. I loved her soooo much and Bella rescued me everyday of her life with love and excersice. She gave me a routine. When she passed. I nearly died of sadness. I really did. I rescued Henry. My heart was still broken, but so was Henry's. He was thrown from a car in Ga. He still hates cars. For the first few weeks I woke up crying missing my Bella. Henry was always there performing silly dog tricks to make me laugh. I did laugh. 9 months later my heart is heals and Henry doesn't perform silly morning dog tricks. He sleeps in. I think, he believes his job is done. He can sleep now and wait for his daily walk, rub and love. Plus his baked chicken dinners. Dogs rescue us if we let em. We must remember to walk our dogs every single day, rain or shine. It is what they need most.
What an amazing love story between two beautiful souls.
So happy for you and Hippo, he's a very lucky boy. Many happy days to come!
He was made by people to look menacing, but he is an adorable bundle of love. 💞💞💞
Nobody made him look menacing and if that's how u see pit bulls then you're extremely ignorant
I have two rescues myself you're an amazing person for reaching out to him you will always be loved and wanted as long as you have one of them in your life
If you pause the video right at the start? The dog is staring at the same thing i am.
For me? The ta-ta's are perfection.
Dogs are angels. We got our Dane Rosie 2 months before my mom died. I dont know how I would have made it through all the nonsense without her. We lost Ro this year and my heart is completly shattered.
I’m so sorry. One day another will come into your heart. It won’t be like your loved one but one that fits you.
So sorry for your loss 💔🙏😞
When I lost my dog I swore I couldn't bear that heartbreak again, but she left such a huge hole in my life that I now have another rescue, totally different personality from my last pooch but he lights up my days too. Where would we be without them?
Pitties are very loving. Congratulations on rescuing each other!
Gorgeous girl with kind heart😳😄
How wonderfully beautiful you are together, I just feel love up behind the screen.
He is wonderful, you're both lucky to have each other.
Dude I'm so Happy Kelsey rescued him she's such a wonderful person and lovely for what she's doing
He is perfect! Such beautiful story! Sending all the love & happiness to you both ❤
What a beautiful name and a beautiful relationship😘
I adopted 2 dogs in 2008 and they were my first step out of deep depression. The trajectory of my life changed because of 2 little shelter dogs. ❤️💕
Absolutely precious boy 💗💗
Love both of these guys they’re perfect for each other.
I absolutely love 💕 stories like this. I could never tire of hearing how puppies and dogs have had such wonderful impacts of peoples lives and I believe that it benefits both equally.
This was such a lovely story, he's the cutest little chonk. It's also really nice to see Kelsey doing so well after all this time. I'm so sorry about the breakup, but she truly looks like she's healthy and thriving regardless and that makes my heart so full. I'm happy they found each other. ❤
I’m so glad she kept him. He’s such a sweet boy.
Pits absolutely have the cutest faces and smiles.
Thank you for saving Hippo!
This video made me laugh and cry all at the same time!! I LOVE Hippo and your relationship! I’m so glad he stayed with you!!!! 🥰
What a magnificent baby ❤️ I am so happy that y'all have each other.
Dogs gove unconditional love😊so beautiful.
🤧 aww he's so gorgeous. And yes a dog can get you throw any of life's challenges, great video thanks 💖😁
Through
He's adorable , he's an awesome dog , how can't you love that face ❤️
His has the sweetest face that would melt any heart. She found the best man for her life.
Hello how are you doing today and how was your night?
People who foster care these beautiful souls are super heroes. I would never be able to foster care I will get attached from the first time I lay my eyes on them and letting them go would be heartbreaking 💔 and I am not good at goodbyes 😢
We found our angel 11 years ago.
She saved me too. Went through very difficult time in life and she pulled me through . She too had health issues but was a real spirit and personality .
Our little pug managed to get to 1 day before her 11th birthday then she grew her wings and went to the rainbow Bridge. It totally broke us , I immediately went into several health issues and honestly felt like she's broken my heart. Thankfully my partner pulled me along until I could start to feel again.
I'll always miss our baby .
Love them whilst you can as much as you can they're sent here to save us and make us stronger.
Rip to all our angels that came here to work on us , they're irreplaceable .
So happy for you and hippo. Glad your enjoying each other 🥰
"HIPPO" is the PERFECT NAME for this angel-dog!
