I have brain development damage and act like a child sometimes due to it but I'm very smart mentally, just not physically. So I appreciate the love given. We're not broken, we're just needing a little extra care.
♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖
Came to the comments to say this. TBI makes me clumsy and a little emotional, but other than that we're just people ❤
OMG!! Not broken at all, actually some of the most amazing humans on this earth.
❤❤🫠🫠
Feel free to not respond but I'm interestd, what happened and what specifically do you mean by "act like a child" and how do you know you're smart?
@@chrissanchez1771 Involuntary age regression randomly happens and I have had an advanced college level in everything but math due to dyscalculia since I was thirteen.
as a guy with a brain damage (I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I'm fine so no need to be worried haha) I feel this dog on a spiritual level. I would do so much for this dog
Dogs are so cathartic. My mom has MS and her dog calms her so much. Even though he can be a little jerk sometimes 😂
Same after brain surgeries, glad more appreciate our differences!
This comment pulled on my heart strings! 🥹
I just came back to this comment and holy moly. thanks so much for the support!
@@TheSwedishDoc ❤
I think we could all benefit from the same “No think. Just vibe.” energy that Mr. Trooper has.
“I’m just happy to be here”
as an akbash owner i was blown away by his temperament, happy hoodies off to these wonderful owners for loving and raising such an amazing dog
More often than not, love is all it takes! Well said my friend :)
How is it like to have akbash? I've been interested on them for a while, but I doubt I could ever get one. First I need sheep lol.
I have two Akbash Pyrenees mix. They are strong-willed, loyal, and loving dogs. That said, we had to move from a rural community with lots of acreage to a smaller place with only 5 acres. I would not recommend seeking out owning these dogs unless you have a large, fenced in property, with neighbors who can’t hear the barking. With neighbors close by, 5 acres is not enough. I have tried everything, and it has been a struggle. Nevertheless, I will never choose to separate from them.
@@ithewho6603 the last reply definitely has some great points and it’s important to know this breed is a working dog who needs stimulation/work/exercise everyday. they are independent but when they choose to love its endless cuddles and kisses. training them is a task and a half since they have their own idea of how stuff should be run. if this is your first dog do not get an akbash, and if you have had ones before definitely try to have experience with working breeds because these dogs do not take a holiday off. that being said when they are well trained and worked daily they are absolute sweet hearts and lovers all the way.
I got a brain damaged 11 week old Great Dane here who is always stumbling and falling. Also he is blind in his left eye but he is just so damn cute and happy. Unfortunately he has at the moment a 3 year life expectancy so I decided to let him live it to the fullest.
And you're wonderful for giving him the love and care he needs. Thank you! 🙏
❤
Thank you for giving your sweet boy a warm, loving, safe home and a family to call his own.
Some people would euthanize them
❤❤❤
I remember when a friend of ours who has a dog rescue brought a 12 week old puppy who had brain damage from birth and couldn't walk properly or hear over to our house to socialize with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Brodie. Brodie realized right away that there was something seriously wrong with the puppy and he just layed down on the grass and let the puppy climb all over him. The puppy followed him around for the rest of the day like he was his mother. I have never been so proud of my Brodie for giving the puppy one of the happiness of his life!
Lots of love to dear Brodie! ❤
I’m gonna cry, Brodie is too good for this world!
We rescued an abused dog. It was soon obvious that he had brain damage. He was such an amazing dog. We’d often wonder “If it weren’t for the horrible people that did those things to him, how much more amazing would he have been?” So smart. So sweet. Loved snuggling.
As a person with a developmental disability, I can feel this dog on a personal level and love them so much.
This dog is a they them?
@@maxb306 Are you getting offended over my default response to call everything a them?
@@NoctisTheBogWitch Such a snowflake am i right lmaoo
@@NoctisTheBogWitchdon’t worry about people like that - they don’t seem too happy
Bless those who gave him extra love and care!! We need more people on this earth willing to care for disabled dogs 🥺
Yep one of my dogs went blind and she’s adjusted very well .. Ruby Ann is still a happy wagging tail pup.
They would be the same that wouldn't care for a disabled human
@AdrianAlvarez2340 True. That's why it would be your responsibility to find a place for them where they gonna be taken care of. Never just leave them, never abandon them. That would be just evil.
I adopted a rescue little cavapoo and I never knew about her main disability. The rescue centre wasn't aware as she was only there a short time. She was born without a tail and has issues with her anal glands. Her malformed spine requires pain killers every day to live a good life. I paid alot of money to get her xrayed and was quite shocked to see her mangled vertebre. Yes she costs me alot in vets fees and insurance but she gives me lots of love in return. I spent many years looking after my poorly old uncle after his wife died, so to me showing compassion is no different towards humans or animals.
If only people would do the same for babies in the uterus and children.
I love how this "brain-damaged" dog is better behaved than most of the "normal" dogs!
I agree, and he's absolutely beautiful...
When you're living the "no thoughts, head empty" meme, there's nothing to distract you from doing what you're told.
It's obvious why: he was treated well by his owners. Thumbs up for raising such a good floofy boy!
I loved how in the shower when she was working on his backside he had his paws on the wall. Like Here better access my friend.
Well yeah - he’s not too smart for his own good like say your average poodle.
At the same time it’s easier to groom an a puppy than a full grown dog that hasn’t been groomed, trained, and properly socialized.
Trooper = what a fitting name. He's a solider battling through his disability.
Idk...seems like he's just a derp and his owners made up some bs because they're insecure and embarrassed. How is he disabled? Literally ZERO signs, the eyes are fine, literally nothing wrong with them.
Attention seeking owners with fake stories lying to gain artificial sympathy. Gross.
A amazing how gross people will lie to get a free grooming on sympathy tokens. Abhorrent. Dog is fine. Owners lie.
@@i-love-comountains3850You don't even know the dog. You're judging him and the owners based off a 6 minute video.
@@i-love-comountains3850Fun fact: Vets exist, as well as brain screenings
@@i-love-comountains3850 you can clearly see that one ear is damaged. probably because of that attack that got him disability. f u
his droopy eyes, his one floppy ear, the head tilt, it says it all. he has got to be one of the sweetest dogs on the planet.
Well if he’s a forever puppy he’s already better behaved than 99% of the huskies on this channel. He did so well for the groom!
Whenever I hear "husky," I automatically flex my right hand. My son-in-law's husky crushed it when I picked him up from the groomer a few years ago. I'd trade him for Trooper in a split second.
He's a forever puppy with experience
As much as huskies are a handful. They are worth every minute and wouldn't trade mine for anything.
@@dominicharvey6048I know exactly what you mean, I wish I still had mine, Luna would've been 13 this December.
I watch you trim the nails all the time. Please wear some safety glasses.
Who kept watching this video, besides me, and thought “this dog is far better behaved than most dogs without any brain damage? “… He seemed so tranquil and just happy to be looked after. Gratefully, even.
I honestly thought that he looked like he was enjoying a day at the spa, and how lucky dogs were to get groomed with full body care every 6 weeks. Well, if they have good groomers they're lucky. I know every dog I've ever bathed has felt better after just a bath. As a former animal tech that's hundreds of baths. He definitely lives in the moment and is just a sweet, beautiful and happy dog. Nice job, Vanessa!🥰
❤❤
Some big dogs like the attention. My cousin personally grooms his St. Bernard and the dog does a happy dance each time. If you say the word "Groom" his eyes light up.
He's better behaved than both of my dogs.
i mean, a behaved puppy is so much more common than a behaved older dog. just seems like when they grow up, they learn that they can get away with things, and that they are a grown dog who either has the speed and bite to push you around. or the bulky muscle mass
EVERYTIME you mention giving your time and talent grooming for free,
it brings tears to my eyes. I am in a delicate mental state right now and my age is looking to a day when I depart this world. I bemoan many of the things happening in the world and particularly my beloved country. I sometimes feel that the bad and evil are winning the struggle for the soul of my nation. But then you come along, sharing your good fortune with the free grooms and I am heartened knowing that there are good souls still around to do the right thing and spread charity. Thank you so much for just you being you. May God bless and continue making me cry. They are good tears.
Many hugs my dear. Keeping you in my thoughts.
It's amazing how a person can go from a "Down Day", and cheer up right after watching these.
hey, I hope you are doing better. hang in there! ❤
I hope you are okay ❤
I share your concern about our country and, consequently, our world. I also share being uplifted by GWTD’s videos. Peace to you, my fellow traveler through life.❤️
looking at him or his eyes i couldnt tell a single thing was wrong. hes alert and paying attention to every detail. hes so cute and extremely well behaved.
He just seems like a normal dog to me
@@Jackadiah very same
Forever a puppy in the brain.
@@goatfather5711 yes i understood that to be the case but by which she could tell is what got me.
@@Jackadiah The nose deformation was a giveaway for me. I wonder if it underdeveloped because of facial trauma, or brain trauma. Very peculiar
My dog had a similar issue. Puppy brain forever due to disability. He made it to 19 before he passed a few weeks ago. He was a puppy to the end and its so nice to see others out there taking care of dogs like this so well. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. 19 is a great age to live to for a dog. Clearly your dog was well loved and well taken care of before he crossed the rainbow bridge. 💖
@@trishpipkins thank you so much. ❤️ My other dog is 22 and I hope he stays with me a little while longer!
@@foxxxygMy God, that's a long time. Are they related?
@@TsukiNaito1 they are not actually haha! Both were "foster fails". The one that passed was a very disabled rat terrier from poor backyard breeding and the 22 year old is a Chihuahua terrier mix that looks like he's probably got one or two more prominent breeds in there. He was a runt found in a dumpster in California 😭
@@foxxxyg Wow! Crazy they've lived so long!
Everyone who watches your channel watches it with a big smile on their faces.
So agree.
Agreed
Definitely
And a few tears.
And sometimes with a tear in my eye and imaginary fur in my nose.
One of my sweet kitties suffered brain damage as a kitten. He is the most wonderful companion-intuitive, loving-he’s the joy of our home. I’m so grateful for him.
Me had a puppy that suffered similar damage from an adult dog biting his head. Unfortunately, he did not recover. He spent months convalescing. It is so good to see a better outcome for Trooper.
Aw that's really sad
So sorry for your loss.😢😢😢
Trooper is insanely adorable. All that floof and his sweet temperament despite his brain damage makes him a delightful dog. His owners have done a great job raising him.
He is adorable. (The flying floof less so.)
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist OFF TOPIC SPAM!
He’s amazing! So cute & sweet tempered.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist im a christian but this is absolutely FOUL.
how are you spamming about being not selfish yet trying to distract people from what they're enjoying?
Indeed! Such a fine young man!
As a disabled person, I love disabled animals. It’s hard for them but they get through it, they’re the best
That is a fantastic username.
They can teach us. They accept their disability and don't eat their heart out over it.
as a disabled person, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
@@kirstencorby8465 I once had a cat whose both front legs had been amputated. She was able to jump from the floor to the kitchen counter, then on to the top of the refer!
She didn't know she was different. We didn't see the point in telling her.
As a fellow disabled person, IKR!! They’re precious.😊
You’re killing me with this cuteness. This baby went through a lot. He’s a survivor and his little droopy ear is so charming. Thank you again for choosing to care and help so many doggos (whether they’re super hardcore or super chill). Much love from Montreal ❤️🫶

Hi from Alberta!
This made me miss my baby girl… she was never quite right from the day we got her. She never really grew up mentally, but we didn’t know what was wrong exactly. She was like a puppy until the day she passed. Luckily she was small like one too. She always just had these big dopey happy eyes and a bounce in her step.
MY PREVIOUS DOG WAS THE SAME! Thank you so much for bringing back the memories. Roxy was a gold Lab/Lab retriever mix, and absolutely mental. Not a single thing was right with her and I'm certain that she had some kind of mental disability, and she was just so precious. Yes, she literally ate our kitchen floor once, and devoured several years' Christmas gifts, she was a complete menace, but she was so cute and so full of love. Her eyes were always so round and dopey and silly. She lived to about twelve until she had to be put to sleep, but never once stopped behaving like a puppy, not even when the arthritis started getting to her. God, I miss her stupid face.
"without looking at his eyes, I would have never known he had a disability"
He: 👁️👅👁️
😂😂 The timing of that shot was too perfect. He's adorable and SO well behaved.
The video was at 3:11 when I read your comment - look at that 👁️👅👁️!
Yes! Haha I giggled
😂😂😂😂
The shot wasn’t well-timed, dialogue was edited over it.
@@FaxanaduJohn lmfao. They obviously don’t think it was all done in real time 😂 “the timing of that shot” makes sense because the shot was edited in at the perfect time.
I feel bad for him but hes a good boy and I'm sure has loving parents.
don't feel bad for him. it's not like he's crippled or anything. just a bit different. and that's okay!
He doesnt know life any different. I have a dog with a double enucleation and people feel bad for her, but shes been blind since before she was a year old, now she just isnt in pain anymore. She gets on beautifully
@@moppupawshis brain is literally crippled
Nothing to feel bad for maybe except being attacked as a puppy. Brain damage even in humans isn’t always „tragic” to the person who has it, it’s usually other people who make a bigger deal of it than it is
He’s got that look in his face that says I’m here but afk , still one awesome dog .
I had a kitty who had gotten a head injury as a kitten. He had a forever twisted to the side head (like the old RCA mascot dog), which is a sign that a cat has neurological damage, and he got tired more quickly than other kitties. Other than that, he was fine, and was super sweet. Our Forever Kitten.
We named him Sir Frank, after Sir Frank Williams, which seemed apt.
He’s just chilling. I love him
Edit: I just realized one of his ears stands up all the time and the other is floppy and that makes him so perfect
I know, I know, it kills me.
I have a forever baby cat. While many people overlook these pets, they are amazingly wonderful, kind, and lovable. Please take a moment to visit the less than "perfect" ones if you're thinking of adopting.
Same with disabled humans
@skootergirl22 I am a differently abled human. I don't see myself or my cat as not able to do things. We just do things differently.
He doesn't know he's 'disabled.' He only knows he is loved. As it should be.
You are so great.
@@nancymcneill872 This is a beautiful comment, Nancy!
That shot of him in the end drooling and staring at nothing was just gold
"you can hardly tell he's not all there" But really, this guy is so precious. So sweet and fluffy
His head is all elevator music and nothing else
My cat is also brain damaged and his favorite hobby is staring at absolutely nothing but when you look at him, you can see his couple of brain cells bouncing around his skull like a good game of pong. Haha. I would be absolutely lost without him and his goofy self.
@@1PrayerWarrior4 I describe my two dogs as sharing two brain cells and they're both competing for third place. How can an animal be so intelligent and yet so stupid, I ask myself every time the big one is herself.
@@altheaabrahamsen1975 this made me laugh. 😂😂 I can totally agree. I have a one year old cat that is apparently hogging all the brain cells.
...a moment of silence, for the fallen fur. 🤣🤣🤣 You always make me smile!
Trooper is such a beautiful, snuggly looking dog! In his after he looks so majestic and his coat is like a big fluffy cloud! He seems like such a gentle giant.
It's a miracle he is so happy after that trauma. Not an ounce of fear. 10/10 on the good boy scale.
It’s not emotional trauma it’s physical trauma. So there wouldn’t be fear associated since it was an injury while he was still a puppy
The dogs disability is man made, if the dog was fed naturally on RAW, 60% animal + 40% vegetal, and nothing else given, then the disability would end under 2-3 weeks.
Ofc after a couple diarrhea days, the time for the dog to cleanse its body out of bad food.
@@David.124 by that logic humans can't become traumatized if they are physically abused during childhood
@@matildas3177 No what I’m saying is that Vanessa is talking about Physical trauma, like if something hits your leg and you need physical therapy. She’s not talking mental/emotional trauma, which would cause fear. She also said he experienced it at 2 weeks old, equivalent to 3 and a half months for a human, puppies don’t have memories at that age yet (not until they’re 8 weeks). Trauma is a versatile word
@@matildas3177 Yeah, it happens when someone misunderstands the logic and tries to apply it to everything. This is a dog, not a human being. It has zero relation in this case. Your logic, is faulty because you don't get the logic.
Adore this boy!! We also had a dog, a dachshund, who suffered brain damage and was a forever puppy. In his case it was a hypoxic brain injury as a result of anaphylactic shock due to being allergic to the leptospirosis vaccine - we did not know then that this is a known issue with dachshunds. We were able to limit his seizures with lifestyle and medication, and ended up having him for almost 17 years. He was forever 10 weeks old, could be challenging to manage, and was 💯 % worth it.
Had never heard of doxies being sensitive to leptospirosis vaccine, that's great info, thank you.
Same happened with my dachshund.
I had a dachshund for about 2 years as a child. I had no idea something like that was a risk. I wonder if he ever got or went on to get that vaccine after his early life with us.
Just to clarify, while dachshunds have a higher risk than most other breeds of having a reaction to the leptospirosis vaccine, the risk is still very low, and the risk of a severe reaction like my little fellow had is even lower than that. Always talk to your vet, and determine the leptospirosis exposure risk for your area and lifestyle before making a decision about whether or not to get the vaccine, which is optional. Leptospirosis is a curable bacterial disease, if it’s caught before it does organ damage.
@@jenniferlandry5767 Correct. It took about three years for our dog to come out of it. About the time it takes for the vaccines to run their course. Oftentimes it is the combo of giving too many vaccines at once. I found a Veterinarian who knew how to handle it and pace the vaccines.
"His before and after are what dreams are made of, or potentially clouds." Beautiful and poetic!
4:11 the way that he tilts his head, looks in the camera and winks!!🤩
He's so well behaved for his groom! I love cloud dogs. :) Also, as a physically disabled guy, I appreciate your emphasis that he's just as valuable as anyone else. You're a great person and it shows in your videos.
Totally agree! I’m also physically disabled, so this video really made me smile.
Me three! ❤
Love to you all! ❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
He is so beautiful! He gets 10 stars for being so well behaved. He honestly seems like a normal mature dog only better mannered! ❤
And with sincere kindness in the gaze ❤❤❤
You can instantly tell theres something off and that hes not all there due to his eyes, stop lying

He’s a beautiful dog and it breaks my heart that he was attacked when he was such a wee baby. Bless the family that took him home, cared for him and gave him all their love.
His parents are hero’s! I love that they think of him as a furever puppy. It helps when you are still picking up accidents. I have one too. She is 6 and we still have “puppy” issues.
Thank you for all that you do for your "furever pup" 💕 We need more people in this world prepared to show love, patience, empathy, compassion, and kindness to those who find things more of a struggle.
Please give the pupster a big snuggle from me 🐾💖 x
Well, if they think about it in the way of "if we give him away, what would happen to him with somebody else"
My 17,16 and 10 have accidents. Especially the 17 and 16. I'm just telling myself the man will be getting me hardwood floors soon. 😂😂
To the people who took Trooper in, you are everything that is right in this world. He's such a beautiful sweet dog.
I wish he had a channel and more explanation he seems adorable and happy and sweet
@@Pita_Leela I agree. I'd love to learn more
For a forever puppers, he is insanely well behaved! You've continued the trend of having breeds I've never even heard of lately! And this fl00fy land cloud is gorgeous!
What a sweetheart! You can see him zone out or maybe disassociate some times and then come back with new wonder at what's going on. I love him! And I'm so glad you can help people like his family!
When you said "Forever Puppy", I immediately thought of Clyde, a Japanese Chin that my wife had rescued from an illegal breeder who had mild seizures and a wierd quirks and really did odd things puppies would do since he seemed to have mental issues we assume because of bad breeding and his early living conditions. He was our "forever puppy" until he passed of old age heart issues. And we think about him often.
Bless your sweet boy 💖 Thank you and your wife for saving him, loving him, and sharing his story.
Even looking at his eyes, you can’t totally tell anything’s off about him. He just looks like a big sweet boy ❤
Same. I guess if it was my job to be around dogs all the time, I'd be able to pick up on whatever subtle differences she's seeing, but to me, I just see a normal dog.
I totally agree.
He also has a droopy right ear, although it's not that uncommon, it gives him an asymmetrical face which might make him look a bit weird and angle his face more.
Exactly what I thought! I would have just thought, there's another goofy dog.
The end of the video when he's outside he looks so majestic! Is there any way to get the tear stains off of a white coat? I'd love to have a white dog except for that, seems like a full time job to keep any tear stains from appearing.
You can tell his family is so gentle and good with him, he’s so well behaved and fully trusting, better behaved than most chihuahuas lol. Trooper is one of my favorite dogs you’ve done. The whole forever puppy thing warms my heart to be honest. Also his derpy face is too precious.
Hey now, I have 2 chihuahuas and let me just tell you-
You are absolutely correct. They are a nightmare lol. In fact, I even named one Cujo 😂
Would be interesting to know what difficulties he has because of it, he's clearly a good boy.

@@TheBaroness I wouldn't say so...
@@TheBaronessNo not for people omg
......??
One of my cats has probable brain damage and she is the sweetest thing. The vets all love her when she has to go in because she has such a good temperament. She can’t jump on stuff either because she’s half blind and lacks depth perception.
I work with troop and his brother Zero! Awesome guy. Love seeing him enjoy the groomers this much.
For all the comments wondering about behaviour and what not.
Troop is always with his brother so he is usually playing follow the leader. He’s more tolerant of other dogs than his brother and has lots of buddies. He is an adult dog working with the rational of a puppy. Does it taste good? Does it look fun? I do that. Yes he’s a space cadet but we wouldn’t have him any other way.
As long as he's healthy, and doesn't seem to be in any pain he's living a great doggy life. He's a big, beautiful canine. 🐕👍🏻😊
Indeed. I'd imagine he can't be let off leash in public in case he runs away, and has to be put in a safe environment at night to stop him chewing things, as he'll have learning difficulties. But that's not a terrible issue. I'd also imagine he poops and pees on the floor a lot etc though.
As a person with brain damage (almost died of meningitis at the age of 25), I can truly appreciate the hidden nature of this magnificent dog. Most people can’t see how much damage my brain suffered in 2010. It makes me both lucky and unlucky.
But omg this dog is a gem 💎 ❤
I hope people show you the compassion you deserve ❤ and I hope you show yourself that same compassion
How does the affect you, if you don't mind me asking
@@cianbroderick7733 loads of ways. Simple things like chronic pain, less strength and lost function in my right side. The more complex things is not being able to recognise faces, memory loss, confusion, inability to find my way. There’s so much because meningitis can cause enormous damage.
How does it affect you
Thanks for sharing!❤❤❤✌🏻
Miss groomer, you are so gentle yet give a thoroughly complete shampoo and cut to all the furry pups in your care. Trooper was quite accepting for the services provided. What a sweet dog.even though he had a rough start. Bless them. They live for today, the moment. Thanks for the love ❤️
Despite the brain damage, all of our dogs are forever puppies.
Watching this transfomation, that puppy did absolutely amazing for temperment and patience while getting his spa day!
And thank you so very much for being able to afford to do these cleanings out of love for the animals and your kind hearted generosity!
"Despite the brain damage, all of our dogs are forever puppies."
No they are not. And should never be seen nor treated as such.
He’s like a cotton candy machine. Bless this lover. 🎉
so floofy! would love to cuddle! ❤
I was thinking the same thing, cotton candy floss.
Blessings to the people who rescued him and let him grow into such a beautiful good boi.
and to whoever placed him in such a good home! placing such a young puppy esp one w disabilities had to have been scary af, i imagine they’d be happy to see how well he’s doing now 🫶🏻
6:09 that headtilt was so adorable. he's such a good boy.
There was another grooming channel that was getting really popular a few years ago. People would say they were too rough, etc. After watching you I see exactly what they meant.
You do such an amazing job and are SO patient. If we were in your area I’d 1000% want you to groom our Shih Tzu’s.
Do you know what they call a Shih Tzu crossed with a Bull Terrier?
@@alexsetterington3142what? A bull-shit lol
Bless you 🧻
For his disability, he was one of the top, well behaved dogs I’ve seen on your table! He looked fabulous after! What a great job, Vanessa!
I see nothing wrong with this dog. He's well behaved, happy, and a lot of extra fur to go around. I'm amazed at your knowledge, experience, and skill with these big breeds. I love the videos, and I'm learning a lot as well. A win for everybody!
You can tell from the shape of his face and eyes that he has brain damage. The damage to the brain also tends to come along with damage to the facial structure. He does seem well behaved though, but with brain damaged dogs they can often be even more unpredictable than normal dogs, it depends on exactly what is damaged.
Yea I don't see any thing that would make think he wasn't normal.
@@bigredc222 Look at the way his eye sockets aren't aligned properly, his brain case is too small for the general size of him, and the way when he looks around that his eyes do not coordinate and that he never properly focuses on anything.
@@jimmydesouza4375 I guess I didn't look very close, just looking at the thumbnail his eyes don't match. it's nice he's got a home where he's loved.
@@jimmydesouza4375all my dogs must be brain damaged if thats your evidence
That's so sad he was hurt at a younger age. That's why he's a "trooper" so cute, I'm happy someone gave him a chance..❤
I would die for him 10 times over
My baby, he is so precious. As long as he is not agony from the brain damage, he has quality of life. He is so sweet and mellow.
He really was so calm and was a good fluffy boy.
He was a sweetheart! I feel a slight kinship, all of my disabilities are invisible too.
What a sweet, beautiful, well-behaved doggie. Love ❤️ him!
He genuinely brought a tear to my eye. I have a daughter with neurological issues and seeing a wonderful fur angel like him being loved as he deserves genuinely touched me. Unfortunately us humans don't always even treat our own humans with challenges the way they deserve so it's just wonderful what you're doing. He reminds me of my daughters service dog (RIP Tony the Pony aka Polar Bear). Pure angel. May you be blessed ❤
You're Troopers Mama? Please give him plenty of love and kisses from me ❤
From what I understand, Trooper's brain is closer in development to a puppy than another 3 year old dog his age. The trauma caused issues with the brain's maturity and development milestones. He's still been able to learn and be trained (as puppies can be trained) but has the skills and maturity closer to something like a well-trained 1 year old dog. Is this true?
The owners are good at training dogs for certain, glad he found such a good home ❤️
From a development standpoint what sort of milestones have been or would be trickier for him to reach given his brain damage? Would it be balance oriented, or self discipline related?
@@ChandlerFaye The main difference between an adult dog and a puppy is that puppies want to play all the time and have difficulty switching from playtime to work mode. Their patience and attention spans are thinner and they’re generally more impulsive, just like the comparison between a human adult and a human child. Which can make cementing training a lot harder. They’re also emotionally needy and cannot be left alone for more than an hour or two, simply because they as little babies aren’t able to reason that their people will come back, it’s not the end of the world if they’re left alone, and they will ultimately be fine because they can take care of themselves. This lack of internal independence means they’re more prone to being frightened by everyday things. Puppies can be desensitized and socialized to deal with this, but they can also regress a lot easier than an adult dog, and generally when a dog grows up they grow out of fearful behavior and learn to trust their owners in new situations if socialized and desensitized correctly.
If I had to guess, training a forever puppy means needing an infinite amount of time and patience.
My beautiful cousin got a tbi at 21 when his car was hit by a drunk driver. He's lived with it for 40 years. It affects his motor skills but not his mind. He's a genius. He's a trooper too! I love this dog! ❤
I love when dogs have one ear up and one ear floppy. So cute 🥺
We took in my brother’s dog for her retirement. She has kidney disease, arthritis, and cancer. Every day with her is a blessing and I absolutely love being her bonus mom ❤
The dogs disability is man made, if the dog was fed naturally on RAW, 60% animal + 40% vegetal, and nothing else given, then the disability would end under 2-3 weeks.
Ofc after a couple diarrhea days, the time for the dog to cleanse its body out of bad food.
Every time she says, "I hope you enjoyed..." out loud I always respond, "I did". My husband just laughs at me.
He looks absolutely gorgeous!!! Talk about a natural born model. That was quite the transformation. He completely changed colors.
He's a very well behaved forever puppy. I expected a lot of wriggling and whining but he was very placid. Good boy! (P.S. You did a marvellous job, as ever!)
I work with him at a dog care occasionally. His brother is his protector so Trooper is a chill guy.
I have a neurologically impaired kitty, and he is the sweetest boy. None of the vets are quite sure what's wrong, but he has a fantastic life with the help of medication and patience ❤
He looks like a perfectly normal dog until you look into his eyes and he looks back at you like: 👁️👄👁️
I love that little guy!
What a sweet dog.
Thank you so much for helping me rein in my toxic obsession with true crime by giving me this relaxing, satisfying, and wholesome content to watch instead. I'm a dog trainer and dogs are life but after training all day, it's nice to watch something about dogs that isn't what I do all day.. you also help me become a better groomer for my dogs and my clients!!
You might appreciate Kimbyrleigha. I personally also have a soft spot for Noor.
Yep same here 😂 needed a break but my brain keeps going back for more
@@bigasspockets why is it so addictive?!?
I have started to put in some boundaries when it comes to true crime too. It definitely can be addictive but lot of it can be exploitative or unethical so I don't really want to support channels like that (important they are respectful towards victims and families and don't speculate all kinds of ridiculous theories about on going cases and specially accuse likely innocent people) or affect your mental health negatively if you're not in a good place.
@@teijaflink2226 I know!! I completely agree 👍 but it feels like that's the majority of what YT has to offer!! More content like this please!
Trooper has done brilliantly well for his 1st grooming session. I have give credit to Trooper's owners for taking good care of Trooper and training him to be well-behaved even if he is suffering from brain damage.
You mentioned his eyes. They look human with the emotion in them
Trooper is the most beautiful, sweet baby! Thank you so much for being so wonderful to him. His sweet little face made me tear up. He's precious.
Thanks for highlighting this boy. We had a cat that was "challenged" when I was toung. One of his quirks was that when you were on the phone he'd see no one else in the room and be sure you were talking to him. At which point he'd join the conversation. His mother had been a purebred siamese and he had good lungs. Ad to this my fiance had Sprint and at that time about half our conversations would have an echo effect, some calls were a mess!! That was almost 40 years ago.
Loved both those males so very much. The cat died at 19, and I lost my husband last year.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm happy to hear you've had a life full of love 💕 sending you a big, big hug
Ditto...x
Yeah, same. I'm sorry for your losses, but I'm happy you have those memories. ❤️
Yes, a "forever puppy" dog can be a challenge. We had one growing up, she was violently shaken by a larger dog that got into our yard. Such a good boy!
You had a winter blizzard when you were blow drying the sweetie pie. He seemed to love the dryer. 😊
What a wonderful dog and as a disabled person, it makes me love him more. Good dog.
❤ "his fur is what dreams are made of... ...or potentially clouds." That's so perfect. 😂❤
Trooper is such a sweetheart. He’s patient and trusting and absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad he’s had a loving family to take care of him. 🤍🤍🤍
yes, he deserved no less. A big lovely boy.
This is so sweet! I started watching your channel to learn how to groom my cat with cerebellar hypoplasia (he's wobbly and can't groom himself at all), so I love seeing representation of disabled pets in loving homes!
I've actually decided he's perfect and that nothing is better than him 👑
Kudos to Trooper’s family for insuring that this magnificent cloud gets to live his best life surrounded by love and care. He was such a good boy for you. I hope we get to see this luxurious cloud again.
Good boy, Trooper!
Hello...?
He is so beautiful. And the "forever puppy" made me cry a little, because anybody who has had a puppy misses the "puppy moments" sometimes. Thank God for the people who love this sweet dog.
I had a kitten w cerebral palsey.
Lived to be 15.
Most Wonderful kitty.
I miss her😢
His one lil uppy ear has me in tears! What a sweetie ❤
I just cried a river. Thank you for being gentle and kind. Big hug Trooper
I feel like the world has hardened me so much over my 60 years, but Trooper just hit me in the feels. Really made me miss my little JR named Holly. (we got her at Christmas) She wasn't brain-damaged, just retarded. We were a perfect match.
Like she said his disability doesn't make him less loved thank you Vanessa you are so kind
What a sweet dog. He is beautiful and so glad he survived the dog attack when he was wee little. So nice to have good forever homeowners who bottle fed him.
He is the most human looking dog I have ever seen!❤ to clarify, I don’t mean a dog that looks like a human in a dog suit I mean a dog wearing a human suit underneath its eyes at the same time being dumb and dog like🎉☺️ so precious and adorable. It’s the human eyes for me.😍
New puppy to start my day! It’s a shame he got attacked though :((
That is very Sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢 He is soooo cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a sweetheart, and that furnado was really satisfying to watch.
If by satisfying, you meant itchy and sneezy from imaginary fur, you are correct.
@@ronjones-6977 honey, I don’t have to clean it up or live with it. I loved it.
He looks normal, acts normal and he is lovely. I wish I have a doggie like him in my life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He's definitely a slow moving cloud! What a big baby♥
Trooper looked like a supermodel during the slo-mo hair dry! So glad he wasn’t euthanized. For being puppy like, he was very well mannered.
