11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: Live Ayis story. The story you're about to enjoy was

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: inspired by Nora. Thank you so much for your amazing idea.

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Can we have your attention, please, ask Levi as he

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: stood in his playroom next to his art easel covered

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: with a big piece of poster board. If everyone can

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: look right up here, added Ivy as she stood next

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: to her brother. They were both talking to their parents,

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: who were sitting on the floor in the playroom. They

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: knew why they were there and sat waiting for the

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: presentation to begin. However, Levi and Ivy's parents had heard

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: this presentation several times before, on that very same day,

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: to be specific, and that wasn't all the same presentation

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: had been given by Levi and Ivy for the last

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: two months whenever they had a free minute or two

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: with their parents. It was all very well thought out,

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: filled with lots of great pictures and very compelling speeches. However,

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy's parents just couldn't say yes to the

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: question that was asked at the end of every one

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: of these get together So in conclusion, Ivy said, as

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: she pointed to the picture of an adorable puppy plane

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: in a field of flowers, this is reason twenty five

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: that Ivy and I should get a dog. I mean,

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: what could be cuter than this? As we end our

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: we want a dog presentation, we'd like to ask you both,

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: said Levi with a puppy dog look on his face.

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Can we please get a dog? Levi and Ivy waited

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: with smiles on their faces, hoping this would be the

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: time that their parents would finally say yes. But once

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: again their parents said no. We're really sorry, but this

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: is not a great time for us to get a dog,

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's mom, as she had many times before.

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of responsibility and we have busy

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: schedules right now, said Leev, repeating the reasons he and

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: Ivy had heard from their parents over and over and

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: over again. That's right, said Levin Ivy's dad. I know

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: it's not the answer you wanted to hear, but I

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say you knew it was coming, right.

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy both nodded their heads. You've done this

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: presentation about fifty times now. Even when we tell you

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: it's not going to change our minds, said Levin Ivy's mom.

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: We're happy to sit and listen, and we do like

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: to see which new puppy pictures you'll use, but it

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: makes us feel bad to have to keep saying no

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: over and over again. Maybe this can be the last

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: we want a dog presentation for a little while, okay,

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: asked Levine Ivy's dad as he stood up and walked

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: out of the place room. Sorry, kiddos, but you know

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: we're right, said Levi and Ivy's mom as she got

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: up as well. We just wouldn't be able to properly

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: care for a dog right now, but maybe someday. And

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: it was that last line, not right, now, but maybe someday.

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: That kept a glimmer of hope in Levi and Ivy's hearts.

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Someday could be tomorrow, right, asked Levi as he and

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Ivy cleaned up their charts and poster boards. Technically, you're right,

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: but I think we have to give it a rest

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: for a bit, answered Ivy. I mean, I want a

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: dog as much as you, but I think mom and

68
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Dad just aren't ready to change their minds anytime soon.

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Levi knew his sister was right, but he wasn't happy

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: about it. After cleaning up the playroom, Levi and Ivy

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: decided to go play outside and to try to take

72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: their minds off the fact that they didn't get a

73
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: dog of their own. However, when they got outside, they

74
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: quickly realized it wasn't the best place to forget about

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: not having a dog. As they played the catch in

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: the front yard, they heard their neighbor dog, Buttons, barking

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: next door. They loved the sound and thought how fun

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: it would be to have their own little, barking, furry

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: friend running around their backyard. Levi and Ivy had often

80
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: talked about what they would name their dog, what kind

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: of games they would play with it, fun chew toys

82
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: they would buy, and how they would take turns letting

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: it sleep in their rooms at night. Some date, that'll

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: be our dog barking, said Levi. I just know what'll

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: happen someday. Yep, little Allie, he'll be wagging his cute

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: little tail and jumping up and down on his cute

87
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: little paws, all while wearing a cute little doggy sweatshirt,

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: added Ivy. Daydreaming about having their own dog always brought

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: a smile to their faces, but that smile quickly faded

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: when they realized a daydream was all it was. They

91
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: decided to run over to their neighbor's house, as they

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: often did, and asked to play with his dog. Their

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: neighbors said yes as always, and Levi and Ivy finished

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: their game of catch with Buttons. As they played, a

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: gentle summer breeze blew through their neighbor's backyard, and as

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: soon as it did, Buttons froze. His nose turned towards

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: the sky and began to sniff the air wildly. What

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: is it, buddy, asked Levi's He tried to figure out

99
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: what had gotten Button's attention. Ivy looked around the yard

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: as well, and that's when she noticed something moving around

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Near the bottom of the fence. There was a small

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: hole there, and Ivy could see little flecks of dirt

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: and stones being pushed into the yard from the other side.

104
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: She told Levi and they watched his Buttons ran over

105
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: to the hole, barking and jumping around. It didn't take

106
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: long for all of them to find out what was

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: making the hole bigger and getting Buttons all excited. As

108
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: more and more dirt flew, Levi and Ivy saw a

109
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: little pink nose pop through from under the fence. Next

110
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: they saw two brown furry ears and the biggest, sweetest

111
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: eyes they had ever seen. And before they knew it,

112
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Buttons was running around in the yard with a new friend,

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: a little puppy. That is the cutest dog I've ever seen,

114
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: exclaimed Ivy. But to be fair, she thought every puppy

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: she saw was the cutest little dog she'd ever seen. However,

116
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Levi had to agree this time. This little puppy was

117
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: very cute an ran around the backyard, stopping to sniff

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy as it went. This puppy must have

119
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: someone very worried. Right now, said Levi, bending down to

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: see if the dog had a collar with a tag

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that would tell him it's name, but they couldn't find one.

122
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do, asked Ivy. I mean, we

123
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: can't just keep it because it doesn't have a tag. Right,

124
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Ivy was hoping maybe she was wrong and this was

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: a finder's keeper situation, But in the back of her mind,

126
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: she knew this puppy belonged to someone and they had

127
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: to do the right thing and get their parents involved

128
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: to get it back home. But for one brief moment,

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy both pretended that the little dog was theirs.

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: They ran around their neighbor's backyard with it, playing catch

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: and laughing in the summer sun. Then, as the little

132
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: puppy got tired and laid down to take a rest,

133
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy knew it would be a good time

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: to pick it up and carry it home to show

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: their parents. Once they got back to their house, they

136
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: called their mom and dad, who quickly appeared at the

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: front door to see what was going on. Levi Ivy.

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Didn't we already have this conversation? No dog's right now,

139
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: said Levi, and Ivy's momma. She walked over to the kids.

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: She couldn't help but notice how cute the puppy was

141
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: and reached out to pet it. Oh he's so soft,

142
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: she said. Look at those floppy little ears and that

143
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: sweet little nose. Levi and Ivy smiled at each other,

144
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: hearing how happy their mom was to see the dog. However,

145
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: she quickly brought herself back into the reality of the

146
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: situation and asked where the puppy had come from. Levi

147
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: and Ivy told their parents the story, and they walked

148
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: into the backyard to find out what to do next.

149
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: After giving the puppies some waters, they sat at the

150
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: picnic table to talk about what they were going to do.

151
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: After a few suggestions from Levi and Ivy about how

152
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: the dog could live with them in their treehouse in

153
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: the backyard, the family all decided what they should really do.

154
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: They would look online to see if anyone in their

155
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: neighborhood was reporting a lost dog, as well as posts

156
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: on their neighborhood site that they had found the little puppy.

157
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: They were also going to be on the lookout for

158
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: any missing dog flyers that were posted around town by

159
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the dog's owner. So after looking online and talking to

160
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: a few neighbors, no one had seen the dog before

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: and didn't know of anyone that had, meant their dog

162
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: was missing that day. I guess that means he has

163
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: to stay the nye, said Levi and Ivy with big smiles.

164
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's either that or bring him to the

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: animal shelter, said Levi's mama. She looked into the cute

166
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: little puppy's eyes. But I guess since it's only for

167
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: a day or two, the puppy can stay here. Levi

168
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: and Ivy could have not been happier and ran all

169
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: around their backyard with their new furry friend. Levi and

170
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Ivy had started calling the puppy Allie earlier that day

171
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: and decided that it would be what they called it

172
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: until they found its owner. But when the next day arrived,

173
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: and the next and the next, Levin and Ivy's parents

174
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: didn't think anyone would ever come forward to claim the

175
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: little puppy. I'm so surprised no one has responded to

176
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: our online posts, and we haven't seen one missing dog

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: flyer or heard from a neighbor about this little one,

178
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: said Levin Ivy's dad, as he petted the puppy. Levi

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: and Ivy should have been happy, but they didn't know

180
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: exactly what their parents were going to do next. I

181
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: think we need to bring Allie, I mean, this sweet

182
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: little puppy to the Annie Will shelter at this point.

183
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: Remember we said we weren't ready to have a dog

184
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: right now, said Levi and Ivy's mom. But something about

185
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: the look on her face and the tone of her

186
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: voice made Levi and Ivy think she didn't really agree

187
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: with what she was saying. Just one more day, mom

188
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: and dad, please, asked Levi and Ivy. Their parents, seeing

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: how much fun their kids were having and how much

190
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: the puppy loved being with them, agreed to another day

191
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: together and that one day was all they needed. As

192
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy were taking Ollie for a walk, they

193
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: noticed a red truck drive through their neighborhood. It caught

194
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: their eye because it was an old fashioned looking truck

195
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: painted with the shiniest, brightest red paint they had ever seen.

196
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: As the truck drove down the street, they could see

197
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: the person driving it was clearly looking for someone, but

198
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: the driver didn't see them yet, and Levi and Ivy

199
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: didn't think too much more about it. That was, until

200
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: they heard something. The person driving the red truck had

201
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: his window down and was shouting something. It was a name, Beans, Beans,

202
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: called out the driver as he finally turned his head

203
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to the left and looked right at Levi and Ivy.

204
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: They had both stopped on the sidewalk, because as soon

205
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: as the little puppy heard the name being called, it

206
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: began to bark and pull on its leash, dragging Levi

207
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: and Ivy toward the truck. Beans pulled out the driver

208
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: excitedly as he pulled over and hopped out of the truck.

209
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: By this time, Levi and Ivy's parents had walked over

210
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: to their kids, having heard all the commotion. My puppy,

211
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: you fiulnd Beans, said the man as he knelt down

212
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: and petted the excited little dog. Thank you so much,

213
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: I've been looking for him four days. Levi and Ivy

214
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: felt so happy that the man found his puppy, but

215
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: very quickly knew that meant Ollie would be leaving them.

216
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: We're so happy you found him, said Levi. He was

217
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to take care of for the

218
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: past few days. He really was. By the way, do

219
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you live around here, asked Ivy, so maybe we could

220
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: come and visit Allie, I mean Beans every once in

221
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: a while. The man went on to introduce himself and

222
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: explain what happened. He had lived just a few neighborhoods over,

223
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: but moved a few days ago. His dog Lily, had

224
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: puppies a couple of months earlier, and Beans was one

225
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: of them. I guess with everything going on with the move,

226
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: this little guy just got out and ran off, said

227
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the man. I'm just so happy you two found him

228
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: and took such good care of him. He explained he

229
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: hadn't seen the posts online because he wasn't part of

230
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: their neighborhood site and was going to be putting up

231
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: missing dogflyers that day if he didn't find Beans. They

232
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: really did take good care of him, said Levine, Ivy's mom,

233
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: sounding like she was realizing maybe having a dog now

234
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: was something their family could handle. Hearing that, the man said,

235
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if we would be interested, but I

236
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: was on posting a few of the puppies up for

237
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: adoption and Beans could be yours if you'd like. Levi

238
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: and Ivy couldn't believe what they were hearing. They were

239
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: so excited, but before they got their hopes up, they

240
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: turned to their parents to see what they would say.

241
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Maybe that someday mom keeps talking about is today, Ivy

242
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: whispered to Levi. She crossed her fingers and hoped her

243
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: parents would have a change of heart after seeing how

244
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: well Levi and Ivy took care of Beans. You know what,

245
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: said Levin. Ivy's if you're all okay with it, I

246
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: think right now would be a great time to bring

247
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: a dog into our family. Levine Ivy's mom jumped up

248
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: and down with joy. She was clearly growing very attached

249
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: to the little puppy and was so happy to hear

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: that her husband was too. Levin and Ivy couldn't believe

251
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: what they were hearing. They all accepted the man's offer,

252
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: adopting Beans on the spot, deciding to keep his original name.

253
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: So Beans it is, said Levin and Ivy's mom. Later

254
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: that day, as they played with their new puppy in

255
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: the backyard. That's right, said Ivy. We figured we'd save

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Ali for our next dog we get, said Levi jokingly,

257
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: with a big smile, just so happy as parents had

258
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: agreed to let him keep Beans. Very funny, Levi said

259
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: his mom with a grin. Maybe a second dog someday,

260
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: just not right now. Thanks for joining us today. We
