- The connection between dog and man,
it's a beautiful thing.
Ow!
(upbeat hip-hop music)
♪ Love it ♪
(static crackling)
- Wow.
(camera person laughs) Look at this dog flying.
Bear, you're missing it.
(upbeat music)
Can you jump that high?
Whoa.
I believe in you. I believe in your ability to jump 23 feet.
(Doctor Mike blows kiss)
(beeps)
Pancake dog.
(dog owner speaking foreign language)
There's a pancake dog.
(camera person laughs) (Bear slurping)
Oh, that's so mean, and she's saying eat in Russian.
That's actually not a pancake. That's a blinchik.
(birds chirping)
Two doggos being frozen still. Three doggos frozen still.
Why are they frozen, though?
They're freaking me out a little.
It seems like
they're frozen in time. (dog barks)
Oh, they're just well-behaved doggos. That's why.
God, I love well-behaved doggos.
The connection between dog and man, it's a beautiful thing.
(punch lands)
Oh, he just punched me
in the face. (camera person laughs)
(punch lands)
Ow.
He's straight mugging me. I don't want your paw.
(bell dings) (punch lands)
I don't want your paw!
(beeps)
- Hold on.
(Doctor Mike gasps)
(veterinarian speaking foreign language)
Look at this little face. She says, "I want it."
I love it.
Bear, you need a brother, or sister, or a cat.
- [Dog Owner] What you pointing at, Booby?
(Doctor Mike laughs)
Oh.
The doggy tried to get a rabbit.
I've never seen Bear interact
with any other animals outside of the species,
so I would be so curious to see how you would with a rabbit.
- [Narrator] Bottom line is,
we need to get a dog for protection,
like if someone tried to break into our house,
I'd wanna make sure
that they were (Doctor Mike laughs)
immediately terrified.
- What is that? Ha!
Okay. I did not expect that.
I think if people break into the house,
Bear would just be like,
"What's up? Can you pet me?
As long as you pet me,
I'll show you where all the valuables are," right, dude?
- [Narrator] Let me inlay a false tooth for you.
- Oh my God. That's hilarious.
Look at the unknowing Corgi not knowing how to react.
Aw.
I would make that my phone background
if I was that dog owner.
(upbeat music)
This is a dog that is being, that's Bear.
That's lit Bear. This is you, man.
You're this long. Look how long Bear is.
(static crackling)
We have a dog with a bird.
Oh, is the dog gonna eat the bird?
Don't eat the bird!
Oh my God. Are they best friends?
Bear, what would you do if I got you a bird like this?
(record scratches)
(toy squeaking)
Bear wants nothing to do with this bird.
Okay, it's a Border Collie
that's standing there,
wanting the statue (narrator laughs)
to throw it, the toy.
- [Narrator] For some reason,
- Aw. - this person isn't
throwing Nelly his ball.
(Doctor Mike laughs)
- That's not a real person, Border Collie.
That's also a dog with great manners. Just saying.
(Doctor Mike blows kiss)
Kiss.
(playful music)
Kiss.
(saliva splatters)
- [Camera Person] Ew.
- Ew.
(people speaking indistinctly)
Oh, someone's getting the scratchies. Yeah.
Bear, you like the scratchies. You like the scratchies.
(machinery whirring)
(bell dings)
(upbeat music)
when they don't wanna hurt something.
That was insane.
Bear, can I take your head and fully-
(Bear slurps)
Ew!
(beeps)
(dramatic music)
Oh, look, it's you, Bear.
How is that dog not freaked out?
(dog barks)
Oh, there you go. Scare that Bear away.
(gentle lullaby music)
Oh, that's a dog that doesn't wanna go somewhere.
(Doctor Mike laughs)
That's how I feel sometimes when I go to work.
(somber music)
(static crackling)
Hey. - Gigi!
- St. Bernard is just like,
"I'm messing this pool up. Sorry, man."
Dogs sometimes make
the biggest mess completely accidentally.
Bear's floofy tail
over there knocks over everything in the house,
including lights. (dramatic music)
(chicken clucking)
(Doctor Mike laughs)
Okay, that's not real.
Hold on a second, I think I could mimic that. Ready?
(toy squeaking)
(static crackling)
Okay, we got a house, a Ring camera of some kind.
(knocking on door)
Knock, knock.
Package. (doorbell rings)
Oh, the dog went through the glass.
That is one excitable animal. (glass shatters)
- [Narrator] Things I haven't been able to do
since owning a German Shepherd.
- Sleep properly, 'cause the German shepherd
takes up the entire bed,
not have dog hair on all clothes, and mouth, and food.
- [Narrator] Finish a yogurt
by myself. (Doctor Mike laughs)
- True.
- [Narrator] Have a peaceful shower.
- True. Bear always likes to barge into the bathroom.
- [Narrator] Have any type of wallpaper.
(dog whimpers)
- Oh, why does the dog eat the wallpaper? That's strange.
- [Narrator] Basic daily chores.
- Oh no. See, Bear doesn't like the vacuum.
That's a young German shepherd too.
And I wouldn't say these are only things
for German Shepherds.
I think this is for all pups.
(playful music)
Oh my God.
A Yorkie found dentures. (dog owner laughs)
That is so gross for so many different reasons.
- [Dog Owner] What are you doing?
(Doctor Mike laughs) (dog owner laughs)
They definitely did that on purpose. Come on.
Ooh, that's a diesel dog.
Oh my God. Is that normal for a dog to be that muscular?
I think that's a dog that goes to Gold's Gym,
and maybe does creatine protein,
and Anavar, and Clenbuterol.
Okay. Too many things.
(gentle lullaby music)
Our first children's hospital visit. Aw.
See, this is what my dream for Bear was,
but then the COVID pandemic messed it all up.
Aw. Supporting Paws are the way to go.
Tell me you wouldn't want a giant Bear
to come hang out with you.
Smiles are important. Optimism is important.
And dogs bring all of that.
(bubbles popping)
We couldn't forget about the nurses. Yeah.
Honestly, everyone stops working when a dog comes in
into any kind of employee environment.
A little bit of trivia.
All my podcast guests so far have pretty much
universally loved Bear. (triumphant music)
The person who loved the most, probably Barbara Corcoran.
(bell dings) She asked for Bear
to slobber all over her outfit,
and I was surprised, 'cause it was a fancy outfit.
(water splashing)
Oh, doggo taking a bath in a little cubby.
Why do dogs love water so much?
I remember I would take Roxy to the dog park,
and she would literally run to where the puddle was,
and lay down in it.
(smooth casual music)
Oh, that's a cutie.
That's a good trick, so that when you do it like this,
the dog just runs into the hole.
Boop!
I do the same thing, but with touch. Touch.
There you go. (bell dings)
Okay, we have a...
(playful music)
This is not how I bathe Bear,
because Bear does not fit in a giant tub,
human sized, let alone a sink.
But this already looks clutch.
Oh, it's so cute.
It's so easy, look how little it is.
Yeah, dogs love chasing air. I don't know why.
They just like, oh my God. Look at that little face.
And you could shape it too.
I've also tried grooming Bear with kitchen shears,
and that failed miserably.
I got called out by all these dog groomers,
so now I have proper dog shears.
- [Dog Owner] You ready to show off?
- Oh, is the dog gonna show off?
How is the dog gonna show off?
(Doctor Mike laughs)
The dog is sliding around on the ice slide.
(dog owner laughs)
Oh, it's a Newfoundland.
- [Dog Owner] I'm just gonna scooch in right here
if you don't mind.
- Oh my God, when Bear steps on you like that,
you gotta remember, (bell dings)
these dogs have big dew claws
that really hurt if they catch you,
'cause they're super sharp down here.
You can't even see them cause it's like buried in his fur.
(upbeat hip-hop music)
Okay. Going for a walk.
Oh, that's a shoulder dislocation.
I can diagnose it right then and there.
(bell dings) By the way,
tip for dog owners that with dogs that pull,
keeping a shorter lead or a leash,
meaning like holding it closer to the dog's neck,
will remove that slack, and therefore,
remove the ability of the dog to really get a running start
and have all that momentum to pull you
and hurt your shoulder.
(Doctor Mike laughs)
That's a Frenchie that loves sticks.
It's a great way
to bring a dog hole. - I can't believe it.
- [Dog Owner] Oh, honey, you're stuck.
- Aw. Bear used to get stuck like that too.
So did Roxy. Ow.
Yeah, like watching them navigate stairs
or go through hallways, doorways.
They constantly (imitates crashing).
Aw, poor dog.
Terrible. And yet, they're so resilient.
They're like, "Yeah, I'm gonna make it through.
It'll be fine."
It's like watching Roxy hobble around on three legs.
It's sad, but at the same time, she's still so happy.
Oh, no way this dog knows how to blow.
(noise maker blows)
(Doctor Mike laughs)
There's no way Bear would do that.
I could not
train him to do that. (noise maker blows)
(suspenseful music)
Doggy, hi, doggy. Oh, it's a fake doggy.
(Doctor Mike gasps)
What's gonna happen?
Is the dog gonna freak out?
Oh no. Is it gonna get scared?
(Doctor Mike gasps)
No. Don't scare your dog.
Most dogs wouldn't get scared by it.
They would not smell it, so they would not be worried.
(buzzer sounds) Except maybe that little one.
Poor doggy.
Its brain is just short circuiting,
'cause it recognized it in the visual cortex,
but then in the olfactory area,
it's like, no, it's not there.
(upbeat music)
I've tried doing this with Bear.
He's too heavy. He's too uncomfortable to pick up.
I don't know how to pick him up like that.
In fact, I need a video of how this dog owner picked up
their Newfoundland like this.
(machine whirring)
Oh, no way this is real.
Is this real? Do they do this for dogs?
Vets, let me know.
Do dogs get breathing treatments like this?
I can't imagine dogs sit still for this.
(dogs howling)
God, I don't think I could live in that home.
(Doctor Mike laughs)
Whenever I would take Roxy to the park, dog park,
and not let her go in because she was not behaving,
she was pulling, et cetera,
and I would sit on the outside until she would calm down,
she would be screaming like that,
and people thought I was abusing her,
just because I wasn't letting her go into the dog park.
She was so vocal. (dog howls)
So many of you asked how I groom this monster of an animal.
Well, click here to get that answer,
and as always, from me and the Newf, stay happy and healthy.
