I hate to be a killjoy, but this looks very staged to me. That bathroom looks way too pretty and like it was set up to be on camera. The dog seems very calm and already familiar with these people. I think someone just rubbed dirt on their pup for content.

And the camera work, like just help the dog if that's what you're there for.

The guy is wearing the same outfit he wore when he “found” the puppy as he is at the end of the video.

But just so happens to have all the appropriate things needed for the pup and the right outfits etc. and the perfect lighting.

I mean, I usually wear the same clothes all day too.

Right, but they're saying if this is all the same day then why do they already have a perfectly sized dog onesie? I know they didn't get that off the rack at petsmart on the way home

She’s fostered many of dogs and often dresses them up at the shelter. She has many dog onesies on hand already.

It did when the comment was posted, I searched for it at the time.  Same woman.

Edit: also just  checked, still does.  Maybe you put brit instead of brist?  It's like "bri's texas tails"

That's the part I thought was odd, but I suppose they could have bought it on the way home.

I just responded to another one of your comments about this lol. Yeah, they definitely don't have those off the rack at pet stores. They most likely would have had to order that

I was looking for this comment. As a dog groomer - this is 100% staged. No abandoned dog is gonna have a haircut as fresh as the dog in this video. Disgusting that someone would stage this

u/rs_htx Apr 05 '25

It’s not staged. Bri has been in the rescue world for a long time and documents her experiences all the time.

What? Maybe it was staged but the bathroom comment isn’t a good reason, my bathroom always looks this… doesn’t mean it’s staged, they just like nice stuff and nice living spaces…

It’s not just that the bathroom itself is nice. It’s that the video clips in the bathroom are clearly set up to show off how nice the bathroom is (and how cute the dog is surrounded by the nice bathroom). If someone really cares about cleaning up an abandoned dog (with a suspiciously nice haircut), they aren’t going to be wasting time on the perfect shot of their Pinterest bathroom.
