(upbeat music)
(dog whimpering) (upbeat music)
- Look who I'm hanging out with.
What!
Everyone say hi, Freddie.
Freddie say hi.
- Hey, Freddie.
- Okay, leave a comment down below and say hi
to Freddie Mercury and of course her mom, Angela, yeah.
I'll put sound effects in with that.
Or I won't, I'll just leave it like that
so it's super awkward.
Okay, so if you clicked on this video,
you probably wanna know Freddie Mercury's DNA test results
just as much as we do.
Now, I know what they are, but Angela doesn't know
what they are and Angela's her mom.
(upbeat music)
Freddie Mercury's excited about it, look.
By the way, she's saying hi to all of you right now.
That's her waving.
Oh, she just waved to you, she's waving.
- [Angela] Are you serious, Freddie?
(laughing)
- Hi.
Okay, Freddie Mercury said she wants all of you
to give her a thumbs up if you love her.
Give me kiss.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Oh, those are good kisses.
Oh, thank you.
That's a good kiss.
You are here because you want to know the DNA results
of Freddie Mercury.
I have to tell you and you it is not what I thought.
- Oh.
- There's some pretty exciting stuff
and also in this video, we're gonna have Bosco
because we got talk more about Bosco,
if you guys remember Bosco.
But you know who doesn't care about the DNA test results,
Freddie Mercury.
She doesn't care what she is.
- She hasn't been asking me what the results are.
(laughing)
- Not like everybody else.
Oh, man, had we'd known, I don't know
if we'd do that again where we'd say,
hey, we sent off for the DNA test results
because every single day you guys are persistent.
- So many messages and comments about it.
- It's our fault.
We shouldn't have teased you guys with that,
but we're gonna tease you just a little bit more
but I promise it will be worth it because Freddie Mercury
can only eat soft foods, right?
- Yeah.
- I'm going to home make Freddie Mercury
some doggie ice cream.
Can we do that?
- [Angela] Oooh.
- And Bosco's gonna get doggie ice cream too.
You might be wondering, well, what's the difference
between doggie ice cream and human ice cream?
Pet Chef Rocky Kanaka here is gonna show you.
The trick with ice cream for dogs,
why it's different than ice cream for humans
is you wanna do lower fat.
You don't wanna fill it with sugars
and ingredients they can't have.
I say ice cream for dogs, it's more of a frozen yogurt.
- Freddie's more of a frozen yogurt kind of gal.
- Freddie, perfect.
So I froze this overnight.
(opening freezer drawer)
Check this out.
Okay, so oh, man, that it cold.
We're gonna do Greek strained nonfat yogurt
and some vanilla extract.
Those are two ingredients.
The other secret ingredient that we're gonna use
so that Freddie Mercury just, man, just loves it
and Bosco goes wild for it is organic peanut butter.
That way it didn't have all the bad stuff in it.
So we're gonna make a peanut butter, vanilla Greek yogurt.
So good.
(machine running)
- [Kelly] Is it supposed to be on and recorded?
- Yeah.
Hey, you're running the camera.
Hey, can we give it up by the way for my wife Kelly?
Oh, and what's this merch you have on right here?
- Yeah, can I pet your dog?
- [Rocky] Oh, and were can people get that?
- At the link below.
- [Rocky] Whoa!
(laughing)
All right, you're doing good, you're hired.
(upbeat music) (machine running)
- Blueberries, blueberry puree.
(pouring in frozen blueberries)
I'm gonna blend that up.
(blending) (upbeat music)
We've got a little ice cream bowl for Freddie.
I mean this looks really good.
I wanna eat that, look at that.
Oh, not yet, you gotta wait.
How many scoops would you like?
Two scoops, okay.
I'm gonna pull this little bone off
because she actually might choke on that.
She can only have soft food.
So, okay, go for it.
- [Angela] Are you ready Freddie?
(gentle guitar music) (Freddie eating)
(quiet talking in background) (gentle guitar music)
- Okay, we did dog ASMR at it's best right there.
And that's it.
Look how focused she is.
- She's getting crazy over the ice cream.
What'd you put in this, Rocky?
(laughing)
- A lot of love.
But that's it, we gotta cut her off.
She can't just keep eating ice cream all day,
just like you can't keep ice cream all day.
- One scoop.
- She wants it so bad.
Let's grab Bosco, which by the way, still needs a home.
He still is not adopted yet.
We're gonna talk more about that.
But first, let's get him his ice cream.
- Yeah.
- [Rocky] Come on, you crazy lady.
- [Angela] Come on, Freddie.
All right, come on, Freddie.
- You're going the wrong way.
Ice cream's over here.
Ice cream this way.
Okay, Angela's grabbing Bosco,
Kelly's grabbing the doggie ice cream,
I even got him a special waffle bowl
so he can eat his entire bowl.
So, here he is now.
(upbeat music)
What's up, buddy.
(laughing)
Ah, happy to see you too.
Look at this good boy.
Oh, who's a good boy.
That's a good boy. (Bosco breathing)
He's such a good dog.
He's a big dog too.
What do you think he weighs?
- Probably like 70, 80 pounds.
- Yeah, but he's soft too.
His fur's like velvet.
He's about 10 years old, so he's a senior guy,
but he's got plenty of life left in him.
I mean, look at this guy.
Look at this guy.
Oh, yeah, oh, good boy.
(upbeat music)
Look at that, oh, you even drizzled
some peanut butter on top to it.
- [Angela] Wow, gourmet, Bosco.
- [Rocky] Man, here's the ticket.
Okay, I say...
- [Kelly] Set it down?
- [Rocky] Yeah.
- [Kelly] Okay, sit, good boy.
(upbeat guitar music) (Bosco eating)
♪ I love you ♪
♪ I give you everything you want me to ♪
♪ Think about you ♪
♪ If I could ♪ - Take a bite, oh, yeah.
♪ I'd bring down the moon and give that too ♪
- Oh, that looks really good.
Okay, I couldn't do this without you guys
and I couldn't do it without my friend,
so I want you to do something.
I want you to go follow Marley's Mutts.
Make sure you're following them.
They do so much awesome work.
Millions and millions of people have seen Bosco
and he's still not adopted and sometimes this happens.
We just gotta work harder.
Every dog's life matters, right, so I have an idea
and I wanna do a really big campaign for this guy
because I'll stop at nothing to get him adopted,
so this might take me a little bit,
it might be another week or two before this video comes out,
but I want you guys to be a part of that.
Now, here's how you can be a part of it.
Share with everyone that Bosco needs a home.
You can join the channel, right, so click that join button
and for a small free monthly,
you get to be a part of this channel.
Okay, another way to help is get an Adopt Bosco shirt.
Those funds are gonna go help pay for the campaign
and here's what I want you to do.
I want you to take a picture of that shirt
and I want you to DM me on Instagram with that picture
because you might even be featured in his big video.
That's a good boy.
Hey, everybody, get an adopt Bosco shirt.
(upbeat acoustic guitar music)
Who wouldn't want to adopt this dog?
(Bosco sneezing)
Okay, that was good.
Oh, it's more of this.
What do you want, I don't understand, I don't understand,
what do you want?
Some of this.
Oh, yeah.
And also, if you're a potential sponsor
and you wanna help out with this campaign, reach out to me.
For those of you wondering why I don't adopt Bosco,
I would love to adopt Bosco, but my whole goal
is to show everyone how you can get involved
and you can help animals get adopted.
So, if I adopted all the dogs,
then I wouldn't be able to do this anymore.
So here's what we're gonna do.
So I got these chalk boards, so you get a chalk board
I get a chalk board.
- [Kelly] You get a chalk Board.
- Yeah, everybody gets a chalk board.
Yeah, so tell us the story.
- So, basically Freddie was owned by a 19 year old girl.
She ended up breaking her legs at her house
and that 19 year old girl put her in a bag
and left her outside.
Somebody found her, brought her to a shelter.
The shelter called Marley's Mutts and I drove down
and got her and when I first got her,
she was just like, I was so surprised about how tiny she was
and fragile and I ended up falling in love and I kept her.
- But you didn't know all of these parts and pieces
when you first got her.
- No, I didn't know anything about her past.
- So how did you find out about,
how did you kind of piece it altogether?
- So The Dodo ended up doing a video on her
and it ended up getting like 46 million views,
which is crazy.
- Thank you, The Dodo.
- Yeah.
And her old owner saw The Dodo video and a bunch
of her old friends and so she messaged me
on her Instagram page.
- That's tough.
- Yeah.
And her old roommate messaged me and gave me
all this information that I didn't really wanna know.
- It's tough because what do you do with it.
Hopefully that person saw all this and maybe learned
something from it.
- I hope so, yeah.
- That is the story of Freddie Mercury.
Now people have a lot of questions.
So I put out on Instagram that you could ask questions
and then Angela's gonna ask them.
You guys have a lot of questions.
I was blown away by all of them.
Look at all of these.
That's a lot of questions.
- That's a lot of questions.
- So thank you, guys, for your support.
There's obviously an outpouring of love
and a lot of questions for Freddie.
Okay, so the very first person to ask the question,
I think they definitely should get their question answered
is Jennifer and she says, how old is Freddie?
- Ooh, Freddie is almost a year old,
which means her birthday is coming up.
- You, Goldfish says, why are you so cute?
Questions for Freddie only, please.
- Oh, I thought that one was for me.
- Oh, I thought me, or you.
- Oh, that was for me, are you sure?
- Scarlet says, what is her favorite treat?
- I think it's gonna have to be peanut butter ice cream.
- Yeah, Scarlet, good question.
SisterSquadGoal6 says, Freddie, why are you sooo cute?
- Yeah, I ask her that every morning and she's like
I was just born this way, guys.
- CrazyCam2007 says, how old is he, BYW, love you, Rocky.
There's a reason I ask this question.
By the way, thank you, love you too.
It's not a he.
- It's a girl, you guys.
Freddie's a girl.
- But in all fairness, Freddie Mercury, the name,
that could...
- Throw people off.
- MagicalFam asked, is he/she have a high risk
for some diseases?
- Oh, well, she has a high risk for pneumonia.
- Why is that?
- Because she doesn't have an epiglottis,
so she can aspirate really easily.
- That's a bunch of big words, basically means right in here
is a problem that could lead to problems right in here.
- Yeah, what he said.
(laughing)
- The Pawfessional, I love that, that's good,
does she have any broken bones?
- No.
Well, yes.
- Okay, how so, 'cause it looks like--
- So, when I first brought her to the vet,
she got x-rays done and they said that nothing
looked like it was broken, but when the previous people
contacted me, apparently she broke both of her front legs
and they just fused like that.
So they're not technically broken now, but they healed.
- So maybe when she was so young, they broke and they fused
that way so it didn't look like a break.
- Exactly.
- Interesting.
- She didn't get vet care.
- How does such an amazing dog exist, thank you CC123409.
Okay, PearlPippa says, I just realized why
you are called Freddie Mercury.
(laughing)
We're just gonna leave that one out there
if you don't know why.
- [Kelly] You're mean.
- Why, it makes people think.
- [Kelly] I know, but then, I feel like you're doing a Q&A,
but then you're not gonna give the A?
- Well.
(laughing)
Okay, the camera operator's not gonna let me go on.
It was said that Freddie Mercury was born with extra teeth
and had an overbite and that's what gave him
his unique sound and he never wanted to get it fixed
because he wanted to stay just as he was.
Freddie Mercury the dog actually had a lot of teeth
where she had to get it fixed.
- [Angela] 17.
- Is Freddie healthy?
- Freddie is a lot healthier than when I first got her,
but we're actually flying out to Minnesota soon
so she's gonna see a holistic vet out there
that's a specialist in what she does,
just make sure that everything's going well for her.
- That's great.
Why can't you do an operation to fix his hand?
- Well, because she doesn't have an epiglottis,
during her dental, she aspirated and she got pneumonia
and I thought I was gonna loose her,
so during just a easy procedure, she almost passed away from
so I wouldn't wanna put her through more pain
because she can get around just fine.
- Right, yeah, you could through a bunch of surgeries,
maybe it would improve the way she walks
around a little bit, but she's doing okay anyways,
it's just not necessary.
- I have a question for people is why do they want to change
so much of what she is because she's so happy.
Like, look at her, she wants more ice cream right now.
But she's seriously such a happy little dog.
- Yeah.
I think our go-to always is hey, let's fix something,
but sometimes we're perfect just the way we are.
- Gonna embrace it.
- Okay the question is Freddie healthy,
that's actually a really great segue
into the DNA test results.
Full disclosure, Embark gave me this DNA test.
They're not sponsoring, but they gave us the kit at no cost.
Thank you, Embark.
So Freddie Mercury tested clear for 13 genetic conditions
that are common in her breed mix, so that's good,
but that doesn't help you in guessing the breed at all.
Now, I'm gonna sit this way because I don't want you peeking
at my chalk board.
- All right, okay.
- So I want you, a number between one and 10
to guess how many one or more breeds she is.
- Three.
- No, no, you have to write it down.
- Oh.
(laughing)
- You wanna show yours?
Show the camera.
Okay, comment down below what kind of breed
Freddie Mercury is or breeds you think Freddie Mercury is
because then we're gonna come back and,
okay, be honest, don't cheat.
Okay you ready?
- Yeah.
- This is how many types of breeds she is.
- Five?
- Erase your board.
Now for the big moment.
It doesn't matter what kind of breed Freddie Mercury is,
she's loved just as much.
Getting a breed type is kind of fun because you
can find traits of a dog and then you really know how
to work with that dog.
Now if you've been with a dog for a long time,
you know their traits, but if you adopt a dog,
getting a DNA test is a really good idea
because then you know what kind of breed type they are
so you can work with them.
Are they a working dog, do they use their nose a lot?
So, she's already worn out.
It's like having to tell your kid they're adopted.
(laughing)
Freddie, got something to tell ya.
So first, I want you to write down what you think
the main breed is.
- Just that one?
- Yeah, just that.
(writing on chalk board)
- That's it?
- No, I haven't wrote down the whole thing yet.
Okay, go ahead and show us yours.
Italian Greyhound.
Italian Greyhound, okay.
You know what, you're not on the email list
are you for this?
- No.
- It's just me.
Without further ado, here's Freddie Mercury's main breed
and there are more after this, but this is the main one.
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, I was wrong, Freddie. (kids cheering)
Okay, that was gonna be my second guess.
- Beverly Hills Chihuahua right here.
- Wow, you're a Chihuahua, Freddie.
- But the second breed that will blow you away
I think will help it all come together
where you'll go, ohhh.
- Okay.
- Okay, so the second largest breed type,
you wanna take a guess at that?
Come on.
- You know, I'm gonna keep my answer of Italian Greyhound,
that's the second one, then.
- Okay.
This is way also in the title I said you'll never guess
this dog's DNA 'cause this is the one that blew me away.
Because I need to tell ya, Chihuahua is 49.7%
and you're sure that's what you wanna guess?
- Yeah, well you didn't, yeah.
- I'll give you one take back.
- You wrote something less than.
- No, you don't know that.
- Okay, I'm gonna keep it, I'm gonna keep it,
you know what, I'm keepin' it.
- You would be poodle. (kids cheering)
- [Angela] What?
A poodle?
- A poodle.
- That's why she's so smart.
(laughing)
- That blew me away.
There's no curly hair there.
Like when you think of poodle, you think of a poodle.
- Just hair in general, she as no hair.
- She has no hair.
Okay, all right, you wanna show yours?
Third is Min Pin.
All right, put the percentage on here.
- All right.
You would be wrong again.
Yorkie at 8.7%.
- Yorkie?
- Yorkie.
- Poodle, Yorkie.
- Yeah, Chihuahua, poodle, Yorkie.
- No way.
- So crazy, huh?
I'm telling ya, like I never, I wouldn't have got close.
Maybe someone could guess Chihuahua, maybe,
just 'cause she's small.
- But Yorkie and poodle?
- Crazy, crazy.
Okay, you have, that's three.
(writing on chalk board)
All right, you read?
Let's show them at the same time.
- Yeah, I'm not confident about this now.
What does it say?
- Russell Terrier type.
We'll show them at the same time
(writing on chalk board)
and I wouldn't expect you to be able to get this one right.
Don't change your answer.
(laughing)
You ready?
- Yeah.
- All right, three, two, one.
- Super mutt, of course. - Super mutt.
- Super mutt, I was really hoping.
I think Italian Greyhound.
- You really--
- It's the same thing as a super mutt.
- You know what, here's what I love about super mutt.
So, the technical details of super mutt is a mix
of a bunch of different things, right.
But I think super mutt is exactly what all of you guys
guessed, T-Rex, unicorn, Italian Greyhound.
So you essentially were right this whole time.
- Oh, thanks.
- And 15.9%, that's a big percentage.
So she can basically be whatever you want.
- Wow.
- Because at the end of the day, she's amazing
and that's 100%.
- When people ask now what breed she is,
I'm just gonna tell them she's a super mutt.
- Super mutt.
Officially, it's in the DNA results.
- Freddie's a super mutt, guys.
- All right, well now ya know.
Darlin', you are a Chihuahua poodle and you rule the world.
Go follow Freddie Mercury at Ready_Freddie_
it's i.e. on the Freddie and follow her on Instagram.
Okay, if you wanna do a DNA test kit,
I will link that down below along with all of the things
we used for ice cream so if you wanna make ice cream
for your dog.
So links below, check it out.
