@tekkchick - It's in the title and in the comments that he's a pit mix. He's half pit and half lab. And yep he was overweight when my sister inherited him back in 2006 when this video was taken. Within a couple months she had his weight down. Anyway the point of my video was to show how loyal and loving these dogs can be with the right owners. Peace out.
i seen that and i wanted to cry i thought that was so special that dogs like that can do that i know when my mom was alive my pit use to be there for her to and use to pull her around her chair and lay on her lap and by her side when she passed so i know how special these dogs can be with people
Your Momma is with my Momma in heaven now with all sorts of animals to cuddle! Sorry for your loss, though. It looks like your doggy was a greath therapist to your Momma!
Cute video. Dogs have the power to bring out the best from people.
I love waking up to my wiggly butt pit bull and enjoy our walks in the morning. People great my dog just to see her cute smile and the wagging butt. They make the best therapy dogs.
Thank you for your kind words. It's so important to give alzheimers patients attention when they need it. My Mother was one of the few at the facility who lost the ability to form legible words so even though she couldn't carry on a conversation, SHE thought her responses were coming out clear.
It's been over 6 months that I have been without a Mother and I can't tell you all how hard it has been even though I'm an adult. Still very difficult for me to watch this video without tears streaming down my face but I am thankful I shot the footage. You all have been so supportive and again I don't know what I would have done without that. Hugz to all.
Thank you for your comments. The song does make it sad and actually very difficult for me to watch but I am glad I have this video of her. We miss my Mother very much.
I'm sad to announce that my Mother Jackie (woman in the video) passed away on July 6th, 2009 at 77 years old, after a decade plus battle with Alzheimers. I'd like to thank you all for the kind comments and supportive pm's. It has been a long and difficult road and we miss her terribly. Thanks again to all of you. Peace.
still interested in your mother.........she has touched my heart and I can not seem to forget her face........she is as my mother, sick with the disease and loving her dog....she is loving in my prayers.
That was a beautiful and very touching video. Thank you for being such a great pit owner, and a great daughter. Love your mom; she's the only one you'll ever get. Love your pit; he loves you more than life itself.
BLESS you for sharing this wonderful video and for showing the softer loving side of this incredible breed and as a vet tech thank you for cutting down on his groceries!!
Great Video, shows these dogs for the wonderful canine friends they truly are. Our dog Glory served four generations, including my dad who had Alzheimers. She was such a blessing to us and everyone in the family. They get such a undeserved bad rap.
Yes he is a loveball. My sister "inherited" him from our uncle who passed away in Jan 2006. My uncle's gf was supposed to take the dog but my sister offered because the gf had a small house and too many dogs already. Now Lido and my sister are inseparable. Fate is a funny thing. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. :-)
I work in the memory impaired unit at an assisted living facility, where I spend my days taking care of 21 residents that suffer from Alzheimers. It must be a full time job for u having ur mom at home with u.
It was a full time job for my brother and I for 9 years. Since Feb 23, 2007 our Mom has been living in an alzheimers facility. We visit every day and bring the dogs sometimes. While she has declined a lot since this video, she still responds to the dogs.
It's great that u visit her everyday. So many of my residents never get a single visit. We are their family. Stay strong, u are in my prayers. I wish u the best of luck. Take good care my friend:-)
My father has M.S. and alzheimers. He dosent have any animals with him (my parents are seperated) and I can tell that he is depressed. He can't work anymore so he stays at home and most likely if he gets a big country dog, it will help him keep busy. Its not that they cure you completely, they just keep you company to reduce the chances of becoming depressed.
Awesome! I have a black Lab named Sophie that I too take to visit my grammy who has Alzheimers at her facility. My Grammy just lights up when Sophie comes in, as do the other patients there. Sophie just wanders around saying "Hi" to everyone and eventually comes back to find me when she's done. Pets are wonderful therapy! Keep it up!
My "Pit" Mac used to go and visit my Dad and others in a Nursing home.He went in with his "grin" and most residents were grinning by the time he left.
wonderful video!! I work with alzheimers pts. and they respond to children and pets when nothing else can reach them. Your Mom looks very, very happy! Your doing a wonderful job! God bless
found this vid by accident looking up vids on pitt legislation. It is a great example of what this wonderful breed can be. Everyone please check with your local SPCA and keep UTD on whether or not your local reps are trying to legislate pitts out of existence. Get involved. Also, support legislation that bans chaining dogs and punishes irresponsible owners. You can do a lot by these simple steps.
How incredibly sweet...thank you for showing that wonderful footage of such a beautiful moment your mom experienced with you and the pup. Why I love Eden Alternative LTC homes.
What a wonderful video! I have a great pit bull named Mindy, and her obedience trainer nearly begged me to put her through therapy training. After seeing this video, I think I've made my decision to do it. Look how happy the dog and your mom are! Now I'm all warm and fuzzy inside!
If they will allow me in with the camera, I'm going to shoot a video with him at the facility interacting with some of the residents there so watch for that.
thanx for posting this....u made me cry. I have worked w/Alzheimer's patients & the joy in your mom's eyes is just priceless...she looks so happy. :o) These animals are so capable of love...all they need is a chance to show it...and someone who cares.
animals are the best doctors ! please exquse my bad english , i `m german . best wishes to the grandmother and her family and much power for them . the very lovely dogy is one of my favorites doggys WORLDWIDE!i sit here at 8 o clock in the mornig watch the video and cry like a litle girl .
I hope a copy of this video has been seen by your senators and such with a note dmanding an end to BSL for the sake of these beautiful, loved therapy dogs and much loved pets. And a Big Thanks to you for sharing it with us.
As an owner of 2 Bully breeds, thanks for a "positive" story on the breed. Sorry it was under such bad circumstances for you though. Thanks again, too bad more people aren't informed.
this really mad me cry happy tears also sad as i can relate to why u have posted it i have a pitbull and among young people who jus want dem to fight pitbulls my dog is luvin to everyone i hope ure mum feels comfortable and she seems very wif ure dog aww so happy for u xx
Louise felt a lot of tension late into her Alzheimer's because she was nervous about trying to keep up with conversations with people. She felt more relaxed and happy with our dog.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It touched me deeply. I wish you and your family that you share many more of those precious moments and that this dog brings brightness into your home for a long time.
This video was so touching! My grandmother is in the later stages of Alzheimers as well and I came across this video and had to send it out to the entire fam. All of us got a good cry out of it. I truly believe in a dog's ability to comfort. Thanks for providing this clip!
dlor99 thank you for the really nice comment. The thing about this is, I didn't post it to get on the news or tv, or become famous. My reasons for posting this all revolve around showing the public how gentle and loving these dogs really can be..and also to show how much of a positive influence animals can be for a person with alzheimers - and other illnesses too. thanks again for the very thoughtful comment. It means mroe to me than you know. :-)
WOW...wow. i've seen a lot of different kinds of videos on youttube (sadly), but this is one of the most unique, original, touching, real, artistic, and yet simple videos out there. seriously. don't know what else to say besides that i'm going to save it as one of my favs. i love pitbulls too.
I thought this was a very sweet video. My grandmother also has alzheimers, the thing is she hates dogs *no offense to any dog lovers* it made my heart warm and my eyes water. thanks for this sweet video.
That music fits in that vid perfectly..i think same way..dogs r a great help with Alzheimer patients..i have seen personaly that effect on a Alzheimer patient..
My mom also has Alzheimer's. What a crummy disease! Interestingly enough, they never forget the Love! Kids also, make them happy! I love your dog! What a big sweet pup! Take care, and just love her!
Thanks for all the nice comments and also concern for the dog. My sister inherited this pit from our uncle who passed away in Jan/2006. The dog weighed in at 112 lbs at the time but I'm happy to report that he has lost 17 lbs since. Deb has him on a Vet supervised diet and exercise regimen. My Mom really does light up when my sister visits with the dog every saturday. Thanks again for all the comments and private messages. Much appreciated! Michele
I like the choice of tune - one of my favs. My Nan had Alzheimers for some time and she passed away just over a year ago - it's a sad disease and it's important to cherish the good memories you have, this def. looks like one.
My Jack russell terrier used to get up and sleep with my father after I went to work, I never knew he did that until my father told me just before he died when I brought all my dogs in to visit him in the VA hospital and therapy dogs. To know that even in the mists of Alzheimer's disease, the love of a dog can break through and bring a beautific smile to one's face. All creatures great and small, God bless them
trm82 - yes the dog was overweight when my sister got him recently. He is on a diet and exercise program under the supervision of Debbie's vet. Thanks for the concern.
I have just watched this video 4 times,and there is something about the dog,your mum and the music that brings a tear to my eye-and I'm a hard man.
When the refrain'all we are is dust in the wind'is playing the second time, and the dog leans back his head and licks your mum's face causing her to laugh in delight-I dunno,it's like I can sense something very Sacred.The grace of God,hidden in the beauty and simplicity of the moment.
i posted a comment basically TRYING to say what you said but you said it much better. i too, watched it atleast 4 times. what a piece of art. somehow, i really hope this video gets across to more and more viewers.
I liked your choice of music. He looks like a gentle dog. We are so lucky to have our creatures while they are with us. I enjoyed watching your mom be so happy with Lido.
even though i don't know your mother, it was good to see her smile like that. These are the videos you look back on and say "damn, those were good times."
Thank you for the nice comments everyone. This dog is so obedient and gentle, I wouldn't hesitate to take him if my sister couldn't keep him anymore. He's a gentle giant for sure.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us Michele. As difficult as times can be, it's wonderful that you can see your mom at ease and happy. Dogs are wonderful! *hugs to you, your mom and family*
Have to drop by to hear your mom's chuckle once again. I know where you heart is....

I thought this was a very sweet video. My grandmother also has alzheimers, the thing is she hates dogs *no offense to any dog lovers* it made my heart warm and my eyes water. thanks for this sweet video.

I like the choice of tune - one of my favs. My Nan had Alzheimers for some time and she passed away just over a year ago - it's a sad disease and it's important to cherish the good memories you have, this def. looks like one.

My Jack russell terrier used to get up and sleep with my father after I went to work, I never knew he did that until my father told me just before he died when I brought all my dogs in to visit him in the VA hospital and therapy dogs. To know that even in the mists of Alzheimer's disease, the love of a dog can break through and bring a beautific smile to one's face. All creatures great and small, God bless them

I have just watched this video 4 times,and there is something about the dog,your mum and the music that brings a tear to my eye-and I'm a hard man.
When the refrain'all we are is dust in the wind'is playing the second time, and the dog leans back his head and licks your mum's face causing her to laugh in delight-I dunno,it's like I can sense something very Sacred.The grace of God,hidden in the beauty and simplicity of the moment.
Great vid!Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful to see what the dog is doing for your Mom, but what about your responsibility to the dog? The dog is at least 60 lbs overweight.

I liked your choice of music. He looks like a gentle dog. We are so lucky to have our creatures while they are with us. I enjoyed watching your mom be so happy with Lido.

even though i don't know your mother, it was good to see her smile like that. These are the videos you look back on and say "damn, those were good times."

that was beautiful... Pit Bulls can be such sweet dogs if they are raised properly. This dog is such a teddy bear.

Thank you for the nice comments everyone. This dog is so obedient and gentle, I wouldn't hesitate to take him if my sister couldn't keep him anymore. He's a gentle giant for sure.
sporty04 5 years ago
Thank you, and thank you for being so good to your mum. Not easy being a caregiver, society doesn't recognise how hard it is. Lovely dog!

He may be a 110lb pitbull, but I don't think anybody told him.

This is very touching...should be shown to those who think pit bulls should no longer be bred.
Your mother is beautiful!
