Tonka was adopted shortly after this vid was made. By a family with prior dog experience (agility training and kids to keep them busy)

Socializing puppy to strangers and finding him a furever home. win/win!

When I win the lottery - I won't tell anyone but there will be signs - like doing this and having a huge rescue for unadoptable animals.

That's not a dog. That's a chick magnet.

That's who I thought it was, but I can't ever find his Backpack Dog Outing videos on his IG

I would adopt that cutey in a heartbeat. Heck, he can even bring the dog.

My first dog was a Lab/Dalmatian mix. Incredibly smart, could open the back door and fence gates unless they were properly locked. Was hilarious how I got him. My mum told me I could get a dog if someone came into our yard and offered me one, a normally impossible task! Cue a few hours later a neighbor came over asking if I wanted a puppy. My mum was fit to be tied at how that happened, decided to get the runt of litter... Grew to be the biggest, and longest lived of the litter.

I've always loved Dalmatians, but learned in real life they're SUPER HIGH MAINTENANCE. So it's nice to know the cute little guy wound up with somebody that can actually handle it, not just somebody like me that watched 101 Dalmatians as a kid.

Jep, grew up with a Dalmatian, she required daily 2-3 hour walks to get rid of her energy until she was about 10 years old. Which in our case was fine because my mom was specifically looking for a hiking buddy.

I know someone who had a dalmatian, who was an absolutely neurotic goofball of a dog. They ended up getting him a companion lab, and he chilled out a lot.

His shelter dog backpack videos are some of my favorites on the internet, but somehow there isn't an easy place to find them all together

I found his Instagram account when I tried, but I couldn't find the dog videos because he posted a lot of other things. Seems like a missed opportunity.

As soon as i scroll, the dogs are right there. Maybe you visited a while ago. Maybe he has updated it.
