I think that’s so awesome that horse owners are willing to loan their horses out for cases like Brûlée

Digby is a prime example of why socialisation and de-sensitisation training and exposure is key when you get a puppy/young dog. It doesn’t matter how much you show them love or how kind you are, if you don’t expose them to everything in the environment around them as young as possible, what you end up with is a dog like digby, a dog that has anxiety around other dogs and people that has developed into fearful aggression that is so bad he has to be muzzled in public so he can’t bite anyone when he lashes out. So remember when you bring a new fur baby into your family, SOCIALISATION and DE=SENSITISATION is KEY to a HAPPY and WELL BALANCED dog.

The only major injury I've sustained as my years as a vet nurse was a bite from a rottie. Do I blame the dog? No, even as my face was bleeding I was asking if the dog was okay and checking on him. He was an old boy that was painful because of aggressive bone cancer. I believe no dog is inherently evil. It's either in training, or lack of training. It's always circumstantial, in my opinion.

The smartest thing he did was to not make eye contact. We need to all remember that. Never, ever, ever make eye contact with a predator. They interpret that as aggression.

I love how he handled Digby. Like seriously, you could see the pain in him and him tossing the cloth away was funny-

Brûlée is the most beautiful foal. His story breaks my heart. I can’t imagine only being three days old and having lost my mum 💔

Boris is adorable, and his owner/guardian is amazing for all she's done for him. I do feel sorry for Digby. I've had two male Rotties (at the same time). One weighed 120 pounds, the other weighed 110. Both went through behavioral training when they were young. One vet told me I had the most well-behaved Rottie he'd ever treated. I can't begin to imagine the level of anxiety that poor dog must be constantly going through whenever he goes out. Despite his years, I hope the family can find a way to socialize him so that everyone is happy.

I got so emotional with Cleo's story. How everyone showed up to that competition to support her and her owners.

“You’re the perfect vet” oh even I teared up. That’s so sweet!😢

Dr. Scott: A lot of your viewers do think you are special! You love all animals regardless of the circumstances. Bravo to you, sir!

Treating Digby was so kind and responsible. Too bad the family didn't get help to socialize him properly.

Cleo is just an exceptional dog. I can see why Kevin & Fiona tried everything to help her. It’s awesome she improved enough to go to fly ball. She obviously loves it & quality of life is everything. What a wonderful dog, owners & vet! 💕

Yes, Amy... yelling "DIGBY NO" every few seconds but then petting the dog to reinforce the behaviour is very smart.

Oh man, I feel so much for Digby. I know how it feels to be scared of and lash out at people trying to help you. I'm glad Scott undertook the challenge of helping him.

Doctor Scott is a total hero with how patient he is with dogs and cats that are aggressive and out of control. Bravo! I was happy that Brulee was able to find a surrogate mom, who totally saved his life and is teaching him how to be a healthy boy. I was so heartbroken for Cleo, but the double dosage is maintaining her health, even if she is not totally cured. She is able to live a normal life, and is back to playing her favorite sport. Thanks Doctor Lisa for giving her family hope.

That story about the foal made me smile yes it was sad at first but seeing them together in the end was beautiful and heartwarming

That was so sweet that mare taking in that foal. It made my eyes water because horses know when something is wrong with their foals and they don’t always take in other foals but that mare was so sweet.

1. I'm glad those two horses were able to come together and give each other what they needed. 2. Digby thanks for treating him and taking the time. This is why it is so important to socialize your dog with people and other dogs when they are puppies. 3. I'm so happy the dog with a cleft palette got it fixed. I love how his one fang sticks out and makes him look tough even though he is a giant love bug. 4. Cleo I'm sorry she got the bad fungal infection. It's a fluke and it sucks. I am really delighted that she is stable with her medication and is able to be a healthy and happy dog. The smiles on all of these pets are worth it.

My bulldog Oskar is like Digby. I rescued him. He came from an abusive home. He's a complete sweetheart at home but the vet calls him Hannibal. I've been working with him a lot and he's slowly getting better at the vet. It's wonderful to have a vet willing to work with an aggressive dog. Oskar is just afraid.

What a gorgeous mare for loving the little foal. And the owner of the mare is such a good person for helping out. They look so cute together, what a sweet little foal.

The little baby foal was doing a little happy dance while he was suckling and that's literally the cutest thing I've ever seen

I'm so glad the disease improved enough for Cleo to go back to playing flyball! When the blood test results came back the same, I said "It's not your fault!" out loud when Lisa apologized for it to Fiona and Kevin! Diseases in the brain are always nasty, even the minor ones!

The Rottweiler owner needs to stop praising him for his behavior. I've been a dog trainer for years and this is just wrong dog behavior 101! Hes just protecting his loved ones. Scott would have been better off without them in the room. Great job Scott you're an awesome perfect vet!

Can't keep my eyes dry watching these. All the Bondi vets are wonderful, their compassion and empathy is tangible.

What a sweet little guy Brulee' is. It's wonderful that ranchers are almost always willing to help each other this way 🥰 🐎

Dr. Scott is such a wonderful Vet with a beautiful soul. He loves all animals nomatter what & always gives each case 100%! He is so very speacial indeed, even if he doesn't agree that he is 🥰

Digby reminds me of a dog I trained. It's always bard to see a dog so scared be so misunderstood. If i was in australia id work through his fear and reactivity because if nothing is done it just worsens his fear and anxiety

I had a Rotty mix about the same size but taller. He had every good experience as a pup from socializing to new adventures and at home he was my funny goofball (as Rotties are). It was like a switch flipped and he became just like that boy. I'm so happy that Dr Scott took the chance and gave this dog the help. Amazing.

$20 for a kiss?? SIGN ME UP In all seriousness this channel is so heartwarming. Seeing the vets genuinely try their best to give those animals the best chance they can get, it's just incredible. Keep it coming vets! ❤

You can see how much digby loved his owners he didnt once try agro at them And maybe he was trying to protect them but atleast they met scott and he never gave up on him😊

I love how Dr Lisa talks to the dog about what she’s doing. I believe animals understand much more than we think they do. Plus having that calming tone when they’re in a strange place is probably very comforting.

God Bless you Scott for helping animals that others won't help. ❤

Digby reminds me of my girl Ruby, she was so loving and amazing with people she knew. But sadly was petrified of strangers and small dogs. We socialised her and did everything we could but she was just always scared. She died 2 years ago I miss her every day.

As a teenager, we had a Rottie. We also fostered Rotties. I was a very active part of their training and rehabilitation. It was a lot of fun for me. All of them were successfully adopted by families. Our Rottie was 3 time obedience champion in our province. Good girl, but didn't like any men outside of our family. Not super aggressive, just hackles up and growly. Never snapped, but we were careful. Not sure why she started, but it was only 2 years before she passed away from cancer of the brain, so it was just 2 years that we had to be a little more cautious. Miss my Rottie. 💔

I feel horrible for Digby it's genuinely not his fault. It's his owners fault, if things make you angry than you should have been a good owner to begin with. Take care of your animals like you would children. They need to be taught. Not just thrown into the world

Digby reminds me of my relatively recently adopted cat. She is a rescue who has spent the early stages of her life in the street, so she hasn't been properly socialized. Difference is I adopted her as an adult cat and she doesn't trust me yet, so taking her to see a vet is actually quite the issue because she gets aggressive out of fear of people and defends herself with all her might. I've recently had to take her to get checked because she was not eating normally. Vets had to sedate her and they told me she was very hard to sedate, they told me they thought she was down once and she jumped up like Digby did so they had to give her more sedatives. They found out what was the issue and we might have to have her teeth removed, but she's actually healthy otherwise. I've also made some progress trying to befriend her, I think I might actually get her to trust me fully in the future :)

Boris's story reminds me of Chou Chou the cat from The Kitten Lady... I love how cleft pallets are not always a death sentence for animals nowadays, but it is always immensely sad to see animals born with such deadly deformities and put down before it can be treated. If it can be treated they deserve a chance!

I just about burst into tears when Brulee started to suckle 😭

I really wish there was a bit more of an update on some of these cases like Digby & how he along with some of the other pets are getting on 6 months to a year down the road. 🙂

13:30 “i was trying to have a little cry by myself but that’s alright” HAH

Way to go Lisa ,watching Cleo compete gives hope .You are A number One!!!You teach us never give up.🥇

Digby does have aggression issues but he is a soul that deserves to be treated with love and attention just like you gave him. You are AMAZING and thank you for treating all animals that need your help.

Dr. Scott’s genuine reaction when Amy said you are perfect was everything ❤️❤️❤️

Holy cow, Boris. I can't even. What an incredible boy 😭

Huge respect for SASH for always giving it a try and never giving up! Vets like these make new procedures possible for others ☺️ I bet their motto is "challenge accepted" 😃

Seeing people understand dogs like Digby makes me so happy. He's just an example of incorrect socialisation. But his owners recognized that and put steps in place to not only keep other dogs and people safe, but to keep Digby safe as well. Seeing that kind of understanding keeps my faith in humanity alive. As few threads holding it aloft as there are xDDD

I literally started crying when the little foal started nursing off the Foster Mom. It was Amazing!😂❤

he is so cute and adorable I hope he gets better 🐴🐎💗

I literally want to be a vet when I grow up

I had to laugh when digby jumped out of his sedation hysterical

Rottweilers are one of the best guardian dogs for a reason 😅

What an amazing mare to take these little one on like her own!

Cutest horse I’ve ever seen, looks so pure and angelic

Wow this is great watching another mommy accepting another baby . So cute even animals r great accepting. Great vet solving such a difficult task. Thanks doc. God bless all involved in this.

I had a pure bred rhottie when i was just a baby, and she was just the most lovable dog i could ever remember! I wanna get one eventually in the future and prove that not all big dogs are aggressive!!

Thank you very much Dr.Scott for raising funds for Cleo. I hope Cleo is doing well. My love and support to darling cleo

What a beautiful golden foal!! I read years ago a story of an orphan mustang foal, and a mare who lost her foal. The people crushed Myrtle leaves and rubbed them all over the foal and then the mare's nose. And the mare accepted the foal because the foal smelled like what she was smelling, the Myrtle leaves. I'm so happy they found a mare so easily.

This video has changed my entire view on aggressive dogs. I remember being told that it’s about safety of humans. While this is true, I now know that seeing this aggression is potentially a small side of the normal behaviour of these dogs. If we break this down step by step. We start to think more about triggers and how to manage it. In Digbys case, we see that it’s foreign contact and uncomfortable environments so we know the root cause. This can be applied to other dogs and hopefully something can be done to help improve the aggression of these animals. I think this is honestly the first time that I almost fell to tears after hearing that this animal, despite its aggression, had been told he should be put down. That makes me feel really guilty and I hope others can be transformed in the way I have been. Dogs are man’s best friend. The definition of being a friend is to be there through the toughest times regardless of what is thrown at you. I think this is a prime example of where dogs just really need that friend to get them through. Sending prayers for Digby and hoping that he can be helped to change.

Honestly I love that Scott was so willing to treat digbee dogs are not always aggressive just for a reason there’s always a Dipset reason for the aggression and in this case Digby has severe social anxiety he’s terrified of people he doesn’t know and situation’s that he’s not comfortable and my mom has a dog who has a very similar fear but she may not react as aggressively as Digby does but she does bark and lunch people need to understand that dogs are not aggressive just because there’s always a reason for the aggression and most of the time that a reason is fear dogs who are fearfully aggressive are only aggressive trying to protect themselves because they are terrified

😢I wish you all the best To all the angels😢

Surprised not a lot talked about Boris. My heart is for that little guy so brave.!!!

My first dog was like this, a rescue staffie. it was horrendous no vets wanted to touch him. But with me he was adorable and so loving it was heartbreaking to see how his behaviour switched

I have a chi mix that is very aggressive to others but is really a sweetheart to me. She has made a couple of friends but it takes time.

As a foster parent to oh so many beautiful creatures, a scared dog, IS NOT an aggressive animal.

Hats off to all those vets out there who will do anything for their patients no matter how dangerous it is 👍👍👍

Scott is so amazing

Beautiful story about the horses. Magnificent animals. Thank you to all for helping these two lovely horses.

My favorite veterinarian was Deira Hall in Sandlake Michigan. She passed away recently from cancer. She saved two of our dogs and been through a couple of very sad episodes. She was beyond gentle and loving. I will miss her immensely. My new vet is cold and aloof. I love all of Bondi's doctors. And nurses!

It’s incredible to watch these guys work. They have such love and patience for the animal. They an be feeding a baby kangaroo who has lost his mom, or treating a cranky Tasmanian devil, they are gentle and kind, never hurried and the animals respond positively.. I often watch puppies with cleft lip and cleft palate who are saved from certain death by knowledgeable, committed people.

Absolutely fantastic that you treated Digby! You knew not to have eye contact and took so much time with him. I’m so glad that he only had a lymphoma and not cancer! I lost my first Rottie, my child replacement, to oestescarcoma which totally broke my heart ❤️. Also I couldn’t raise the money for treatment which they told me possibly would not work as it was so far along.

As soon as she whickered, I knew they were golden.

Everytime he barks and he goes to get hugs from his guardians. And they give it.

BEING A VET IS A GOD GIVEN TALENT.. TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE ON PETS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...A GODD GIVEN TALENT FOR SURE

Sending love and appreciation to these vets! Thank you!

I can see his love for all of the animals that come to him. I could see Digby's sweetness to and from his ladylike. People just need to keep their nasty comments to themselves, ask themselves if they would put their own dog down just because the animal was afraid or in a situation that they have not been in regularly.

We have had 3 rottweilers and they have all been lovers, but our Male Rot did get aggressive. They all had to be the ones to accept others, then they were friends for life.

Great work Scott you are a perfect vet 💕🐾🐾❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾

I have seen the story of the little foal and the mare several times; cry each time.

The towel toss with Digby! You are heaven sent literally i am at a loss. You are truly the perfect vet. Thank God for you man!!!

I have a dog identical to this dog. I know how these two feel. My girl is very protective of my grandkids and is so respectful of them. She has never been abused, but is a rescue I've had since 5 weeks of age. Great job to Scott for taking the time to spend letting the dog relax. My vet is very much the same

I've never seen underwear used as a blindfold for horses before. Useful in a pinch I guess. Lol

I love how grateful Digbys owners were. They know of the issues with their dog and make sure it’s safe to take him out in the world but they still knew it’s a big ask for a vet to treat a dog like him. But they say he’s sweet at home and you could see that he was willing to let his guard down with the vet as well. A downright evil or aggressive dog wouldn’t have done that. I’m glad they took so much time with him and were able to help him

With Digby, aren't they "praising" him for his behavior by saying it's ok, and petting him? Such a beautiful dog.

I have dogs just like Digby. She is just as big in size with an even bigger heart. One may say that desensitization and training always make the difference. Well, after many trainers, schools, techniques, just to begin with, she just ended up being a fearful dog. Great with us at home and immediate family, terrified and aggressive outside of that safety zone. So, we decided to stop terrifying her with all those tries once a specialist said-it’s just the way she’s wired and don’t listen to anyone else whom think they have the answer or an opinion. So that’s what we did. She has one vet that after years, although she wears a mouth guard she finally doesn’t snap and lunge. Dr Lewis is just like Scott. They are animal lovers and too humble to bask in the “thankyous”. Well, we’re forever grateful to non-judgmental Vets and their staff as well as other humans who either understand or just simply do not judge. Just one of the many reasons I enjoy these episodes!

It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm sitting here just crying my eyes out watching this! Absolutely amazing! I think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! The love and bond between Bruleé and his new mom is so beautiful! And the fact that these horse owners are willing to do this for each other and loan out their horses for the well-being of other horses is just a testament to the love that we have for the horses as well!

What a sweet boy that little pit bull is and his mommy is an Angel!

This show is so Incredible, I want to be a vet when I'm older. Thank you!!!!

I am crying i love horses and i can watch this without tears

So uplifting and emotional that this little foal found a surrogate Mare.

She is so right,you are perfect. Congrats for you Scott.🥇

I love watching this show all the time

Horses are said to be very intelligent. Even though they cannot speak the language of others, they can remember people who treat them kindly, and once they have established a trusting relationship with them, they will show rich expressions. They are also good at remembering people's faces. Since their eyesight is only 0.6 times better than humans, they use their ears to grasp what is going on around them. Therefore, don't suddenly make loud noises or startle them when they are close to you. Horses have very well-developed ears, as they can hear ultrasonic waves and other sounds that humans cannot. Horses express their emotions by moving their ears. Their field of vision is quite wide, allowing them to see around 350 degrees. Since they are herbivores, their eyes are able to see at a wide angle in order to escape predators. Horses also have a highly developed sense of smell. They can recognize people by their scent, and once they get to know you, they will happily approach you. It is said that horses sleep onl🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐴🐎🐴🐎🐎🐴🐴🐎🐴

As a horse woman, I appreciate the story of the orphan and the foster mom. What a sweet story! Thank you for sharing.

Please tell Emma (friend) awesome that she made the effort to see Susie! I’m sure it helps to know so many people care about her! Huge hugs and love!

Scott is the kind of Vet I want/would want for my dogs!

Bully breeds have so much love to give. So glad she can chill with her buddy.

Scott, you are wonderful, to take care of the scary dog. Thank you for being a good person with KIND HEART

Awesome Dr Scott you're an angel ❤

I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say I was watching you with the Rottweiler. You did very well. I’ve had the privilege owning many powerful breeds🐕 ❤ we raise Dobermans for many years. I had Rottweilers that were the best you could ever had and one of them got put down about eight years ago and she gave him the first shot to relax him. She came to the house and I had him get up in the van with his ball because he was ball. Crazy. His name was Adonis. The first shot do anything she couldn’t believe it. She had to give him another one. She didn’t think that was even going to work, but it took a little time. He finally started getting relaxed and then when she gave him the final shot he lifted his head up afterwards, ever so slightly. He was looking for his ball because it rolled out from between his legs. so I put it back for him. He put his head down and took a big sigh and then he was gone. I always try to be very brave. I have to put my dogs down. Because I know they pick up on things like that. Anyhow, just a quick thank you for your great videos.❤❤❤

No matter the animal or their issues they definitely deserve to be treated fairly.
