1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to Lively Lewis Stories.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Buckle up because you're about to join Levi and Ivy

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: on an adventure.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: All you need is your imagination an off.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: We Go Revey Larius Stories. Buddy snuggled up next to

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: his brothers and sisters in a comfy dog bed set

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: next to a large picture window.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: The sun was streaming in.

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Through the open curtains, and Buddy felt safe and warm.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: He yawned and stretched and stretched and yawns, two of

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: his favorite things to do. After all, he was a

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: newborn puppy and didn't know how to do much of

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: anything else. Everything he did at this point was with

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: his brothers and sisters. It's important to know that Buddy's

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters didn't have any names, and to be honest,

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: at that point, neither did Buddy. At least, he didn't

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: know his name was Buddy just then. That was because

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: he hadn't met his forever family yet. That would all

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: happen soon enough before. A brand new puppy and his

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: little brothers and sisters. Every day was a new adventure

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: For five brand new puppies, every little thing was unique

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: and unusual, because for the most part, they had never

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: seen it before. The dog bed they shared was only

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: a short walk away from the front door, which had

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: a huge glass panel taking up most of the middle.

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: The bottom of it was just the right height to

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: be reached by.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Little paws of little dogs curious about the outside world.

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I think that's a bird, Buddy barked to his brothers

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: and sisters as a robin hopped across the front lawn.

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I heard the humans call it that the other day, and.

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: It's near the uh uh cor Yeah, I think that's it,

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: whipped one of Buddy's brothers. I wonder what that thing

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: looks like inside, and if it can soar through the

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: air like those what do you call him birds?

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Buddy said, with a smile on his face.

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Buddy loved learning and took every opportunity to listen to

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: what the humans in the house were talking about. There

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: were some humans that were older and some that were

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: younger like Buddy. He loved listening to the younger ones

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: as they cuddled with him and played with them in

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: the backyard. That's when Buddy learned about homework and school,

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: about riding bikes and playing catch, and about family. Family

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: sounds like the best thing ever Buddy told his brothers

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: and sisters the young humans talk about their family all

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: the time, how they make them laugh, how they play

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: and learn together, and how they help each other anytime

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: they need it. Buddy felt that way about his brothers

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: and sisters, but he knew in his heart that his

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: forever human family was out there somewhere. He wished he

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: knew who they were so he could get to them

52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: right away and start his amazing new life. Buddy knew

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: it was amazing because it was all he thought about.

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: Buddy would lie in his dog dreaming of his forever family.

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: He imagined them taking car trips to the mountains together

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: and exploring hiking trails. He imagined summers at the beach

57
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: with wet paws and sandy fur. He saw himself curled

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: up by a fire as snow fell outside, with his

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: young forever humans coddled up next to him reading him

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: a story, and he dreamed of being happy every moment

61
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: of every day because his forever family couldn't have imagined

62
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: any other dog but him. Buddies brothers and sisters would

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: always ask him to tell them a story after dinner,

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 2: and he was happy to do it. Buddy had an amazing,

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: wonderful imagination, and he would tell tales of his forever family.

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: It's a cool fall afternoon, am My, two forever humans

67
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: are playing outside, riding their bikes. It's a boy and

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: a girl. They both have blonde hair and they love

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: to play.

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Buddy began.

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Their mom and dad are so nice. They're funny, and

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: they're cold, and they always have treats for me.

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: The mom has blondish.

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, blondish brown hair tied up in a long braid

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: with a kind smile. And the dad he always wears

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: a backwards hat and always has fun ideas for things

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: we can do together as a family. Buddy always got

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: a far look in his eyes and a huge smile

79
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: on his face when he started telling his forever family stories.

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: The stories always ended with the whole family having a

81
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: great time on some new and wonderful adventure. In his stories,

82
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Buddy was always learning new things, trying new foods, or

83
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: making new friends.

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't be happier.

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: It's no surprise that his brothers and sisters loved listening

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: to his tales. What better life could a dog hope

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: for a few months had passed since Buddy was born

88
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: and something different was going on that morning. The puppies

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: were all taken outside and put in the yard. They

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: ran and jumped around as they usually did, but then

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: some humans arrived. Lots and lots of humans.

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Are forever families, Buddy whispered to his brothers and sisters.

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: They were all so excited that wagged.

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: Their tails as the humans walked up and started to

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: play with them. One by one, each of Buddy's brothers

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: and sisters were picked up by a forever family. Don't worry, Buddy,

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 2: there's still so many families here.

98
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: One of them is your forever family.

99
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: I just know it, said one of Buddy's sisters as

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: she looked into the backseat of a small blue car

101
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: and drove off. Buddy was left by himself, sitting in

102
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: the middle of the yard. He always kept a positive

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: thought in his head and.

104
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Knew his sister was right.

105
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: He waited patiently as the families walked around, until one

106
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: in particular caught his eyes. Two young humans with blonde

107
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: hair playing together, a mom with blondish brown hair tied

108
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: up in a long braid with a kind smile, and

109
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: a dad wearing a backward hat telling his family all

110
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: the fun things they'll do together with their new dog.

111
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: Buddy couldn't believe his eyes. He watched as the family

112
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: walked closer, and then one by one they noticed him too,

113
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: each of them smiling bigger than the one before. Never

114
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: being one to pass up the opportunity for a hug,

115
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: Buddy ran right over and gave them all a big

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: buddy welcome snuggle. And that was all it took. This

117
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: is our dog for sure, the dad exclaimed, we want

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: to name him Buddy. The little girl and little boy

119
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: shouted as they hugged him. That was the day Buddy

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: found out his name and met his forever family, and

121
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: that family was none other than the lively Lewis's. What

122
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: started out is a puppy's dream became a wonderful reality.

123
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: They couldn't imagine having any other dog but him, and

124
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Buddy couldn't imagine having any other forever family but them.

125
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: Did you learn a lesson from this story? Ah South,
