Wanna get a surprise?

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:03.880
Do you want one?

2
00:00:04.909 --> 00:00:05.940
Let's see.

3
00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:06.659
Oh,

4
00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:08.479
they have our favorites today,

5
00:00:08.630 --> 00:00:09.340
Allie.

6
00:00:09.729 --> 00:00:10.340
Do you want one?

7
00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:11.159
You gotta sit.

8
00:00:11.699 --> 00:00:12.460
You gotta sit.

9
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:14.300
Give me your paw.

10
00:00:14.739 --> 00:00:15.800
There you go.

11
00:00:17.180 --> 00:00:19.649
I would think if all the dogs got loose,

12
00:00:20.020 --> 00:00:22.360
they probably would run up here and I'll be sitting.

13
00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:23.559
Honestly.

14
00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:27.739
I started the little dog library because I wanted

15
00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:30.559
to spread joy to people and to their dogs.

16
00:00:31.219 --> 00:00:31.889
Every day,

17
00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:32.340
Cooper,

18
00:00:32.418 --> 00:00:34.360
my dog stops at the treat station,

19
00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:36.400
so I'm able to really see if

20
00:00:36.569 --> 00:00:38.709
it needs any replenishments.

21
00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:40.689
I try to find treats that are kind of

22
00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:44.060
different sizes for the smaller and the larger dogs.

23
00:00:44.459 --> 00:00:47.939
I also try to have a variety of different flavors

24
00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:50.959
of treats just in case dogs liked certain ones.

25
00:00:52.009 --> 00:00:52.590
People

26
00:00:52.790 --> 00:00:55.369
almost immediately started adding their own bags of treats,

27
00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:57.689
which wasn't something I ever expected.

28
00:00:58.509 --> 00:01:00.860
So I just bought what gingerbread meant,

29
00:01:00.869 --> 00:01:02.470
and I brought them the other day and they were gone,

30
00:01:02.630 --> 00:01:04.730
so I went to the store and bought more.

31
00:01:05.309 --> 00:01:07.150
Everybody brings the best treats here.

32
00:01:07.199 --> 00:01:08.669
It's like a smorgasbord,

33
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.059
and you meet everybody here,

34
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:11.050
it's so fun.

35
00:01:11.589 --> 00:01:14.019
They would also leave notes with the bags of treats.

36
00:01:14.269 --> 00:01:18.300
So we actually got to know like the dog neighbors and the people because of the notes.

37
00:01:18.779 --> 00:01:20.300
People stop and say like,

38
00:01:20.309 --> 00:01:21.010
my dog

39
00:01:21.309 --> 00:01:22.629
loves walking to your house,

40
00:01:22.669 --> 00:01:25.230
or it helps motivate my dog to walk that much further,

41
00:01:25.309 --> 00:01:26.029
that sort of thing.

42
00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:29.830
Dogs bring us love,

43
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:30.830
happiness.

44
00:01:30.919 --> 00:01:32.830
They're always excited to see you.

45
00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:34.680
Sometimes life is really hard.

46
00:01:34.989 --> 00:01:37.819
If you can do just the smallest thing to like,

47
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.279
make somebody's day,

48
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:39.860
or

49
00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:41.470
give them a reason to smile,

50
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:41.940
or

51
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:43.160
make their dog happy,

52
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:44.589
I think it goes a long ways.

53
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.459
I think as much as we can all just try to do more

54
00:01:47.639 --> 00:01:49.309
kind things for each other,

55
00:01:49.639 --> 00:01:50.199
the better.
