Home / Videos / Michael Bubblé
Nobody wanted him, and when we found him, he was tucked under a concrete slab, out of our reach. Before that first day was over, he was asking for cuddles and wagging his tail.
His name is a nod to the singer Michael Bublé, because he loved his bath.

He was alone, and nobody wanted him, but we could not leave him there. The road to him was long and the weather was wet, and all we knew was that he was somewhere in the area. Still, we never lost hope. Once the search began, the first thing we found was a line of dog tracks.
Not long after we found the tracks, we saw something. It was him. He was tucked under a concrete slab, and for a while we simply could not reach him. As we were running out of options, our chance came, and at last we got him out.
Once he was out, we could see how small he was, small enough to hold in one hand. We searched the area in case there were others, and then we carried him gently back, with one short rest on the way. When we reached the car, he had his first meal with us.
We cleaned him up and buckled him into his seat, and he seemed to like it there. Earlier that day, we had not been able to reach him at all. Now, somewhere along the road, he wanted cuddles. At a stop for fresh air and a snack after his nap, his tail began to wag, and outside he let us rub his belly.
We could not stay out long, though, because it was getting dark and the vet was waiting for us. We waited behind a lot of other patients, and when our turn finally came, he weighed just 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg). The vet checked his tummy and gave him medicine for it, and after a spray against fleas and lice, with a pause for cuddles along the way, he was ready to go home.
On the drive home that evening, he met a new friend, a female puppy. Back at home he was still hungry, and he ate his dinner right beside her. As soon as dinner was over, the two of them settled down for the night, calm together. He had started that day alone, and he ended it asleep beside a friend.
A few days later he needed a bath. By then he was trotting around happily, and once he was in the water, he loved it. The puppy we had found alone under a concrete slab now sought out company. When we filmed his story, we were looking for a family for Michael Bubblé, one that would want him.
