The Dog Lover

[baby giggles]

[woman] Happy birthday,

blow out the candles.

- Happy birthday, Aidan.

- [man] Did you make a wish?

- [indistinct singing]

- [dog howling]

[woman] Max was

diagnosed with autism

at the age of 32 months.

Chester joined our

family six weeks ago.

We don't get outbursts in the

middle of the night any more.

And I don't really worry

about Max, because I know

that Chester's in there.

He very much is a healing

balm for our family.

[man] We arrived at Ground Zero and

we immediately began to search.

And then sometime on the

morning of September 12th

Tracker got a hit.

These rescue workers

later pulled a woman,

the last survivor,

from the pile.

And I'm extremely proud

of Tracker's involvement

in the rescue.

[woman] Get him! Who is it?

Hey, it's Crazy!

Crazy, you remember Daddy?

Do you remember Daddy?

I missed you so bad, honey.

I'm so sorry I went away.

[woman] Oh, my gosh!

I missed you so bad.

[knocking]

Yeah?

[woman] Hi, we're

the ones that called

about the puppies for sale.

Oh.

Jack.

[man] Wow, you got a lot of 'em.

[Jack] Yeah, about a 100 or so.

[man] Must be hard

taking care of them all.

- [dogs whining]

- [Jack] You're tellin' me.

All right, you can

pick any one you like.

But I think she's

the best of 'em.

[man] What do you think, honey?

[woman] I think she's so cute.

Hi. Hey, what's

wrong with her eye?

[man] It looks infected.

[Jack] Look, you can

look at any you want.

I got four of 'em.

[man] I only see three.

[Jack] The other one's

around here somewhere.

They sneak out of

the cage, you know?

[man] Let's see this guy.

Come here, bud.

- [man] How about him?

- [Jack] Good dog.

[man] Yeah, hey, buddy.

They all have their

shots and all that?

[Jack] Yeah, whatever you need.

Hey, what you doin'?

What is that?

[woman] Nothing, I just...

She's got a damn camera!

[Jack] Hey, what are you doing?

[woman] No, hey,

we're going, we're leaving!

Gimme that,

this is private property.

Gimme that bag!

[woman] Come on,

we're going, we're going.

Go, go.

Jack, get the shotgun!

[man] Keep running,

get to the car.

[woman] Go, go, go.

[Jack] Stop or I'll shoot.

[panting] Are you okay?

Yeah, you?

[woman] Yeah, I'm fine.

Tell me you got all that.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

[cheering]

Fantastic, really.

It's because of this

type of heroic work

by people like Sara and Trevor

that I am proud to report

that Yates County

now has one less puppy

mill to worry about.

[cheering]

This organization does not work

without your passion and your

commitment, and your dedication.

We're truly grateful.

This morning I'm flying

to Los Angeles

to be a guest on Good Day USA,

where I will share

footage of the rescue we

conducted at this location.

It's the first stop on

our summer media tour

to raise funding and

awareness for UAPA.

- [all] Yes.

- [cheering]

Hey, Sara, Cassie

wants to see you

in her office

as soon as possible.

Okay, did she say why?

No, but I'm sure it's

nothing but good news.

You're really

making a difference.

Thanks.

[woman] Hey, me

and the girls are going

out for drinks later,

you want to go?

[woman 2] Yeah, I'd love to.

Thank you, Hannah.

Here's the latest press release.

Get it distributed, please.

- There's the girl of the hour.

- [Sara] Hi.

Hello. You know, Brad thinks

that you're our rising star,

- and I couldn't agree more.

- Thank you.

We're expanding. We're hitting

all the state capitals.

Rubbing elbows with

all the big donors.

That's what I heard.

It's so exciting.

And you, what do we

have you working on?

Well, you know, I've been

doing a lot of research

on our breeding reform strategy

and it seems to be

really paying off.

Oh, yeah, we're shutting down

breeders from here to San Diego.

Austin. Albuquerque,

Sioux Falls,

there's half dozen state

legislatures passing bills right now

keeping dogs out of pet stores.

Two years ago,

this was our dream.

Now it's a reality.

So, what do you

know about Prop 12?

Breeders hate it,

I mean, it causes them

to actually take care

of their animals.

It eliminates that bottom line.

We're gonna need

some more directors

of operations on

our rescue missions.

Won't get you rich, but it's a

big calling card here in DC.

His name is Daniel Holloway.

He breeds hunting dogs.

He's basically a good, old boy,

and he's a very vocal

opponent to Prop 12,

pretty much everything

that we stand for.

Today is the day that we,

as responsible dog breeders,

cast our votes against Proposition

12, and stop the bureaucrats

from trying to take

away our livelihood.

- You ready to vote?

- [people] Yeah.

[Daniel] Let's go.

Occasionally Daniel Holloway

takes in interns

from Greenville University.

Brad and I think

you'd be a perfect fit.

Okay, what about Trevor?

You know, to be honest,

I trust you more on this.

Trevor can be your

support from here.

I've been asking for an

assignment like that for months.

I'm sorry, Trevor,

I don't make these decisions.

Right.

[Cassie] Sara, we think that

Holloway operates

through two separate websites.

There's Holloway Farms

for his regular dogs,

as well as Heavenly Farms

where he sells any dogs

that get sick, so that he

doesn't lose any profit margin.

At 500 bucks a pop,

that is huge business.

We have a local contact for you

in Marshfield, Jackie McConnell,

Head of Animal Control.

You'll report directly to her.

Posing as a vet

student is no small deal.

You're gonna have to study, so that you

actually know what you're talking about.

What we really need are photos,

video, proof of negligence.

Based on our intelligence

there was a bad case

of Parvo Virus there recently.

If we get Holloway,

I think that Prop 12 is done.

And I think whoever

delivers that

is up for a very big promotion.

[woman] Relax.

My only daughter wants to

go undercover like the CIA

and she tells me to relax?

It's an important assignment.

It means they have faith in me.

But can they keep you safe?

Honey, it's a non-profit.

Who goes undercover

for a non-profit, really?

Okay, what is it, Dad?

Nothing, honey.

No, come on, just say it.

Well, I just thought that

this whole puppy-saving thing

was something you were

doing on the side.

I mean, is there a reason

we spent a hundred grand

on a marketing degree?

Dad, the UAPA is one of the most

respected organizations

in the country.

Then why don't they pay you?

What is with all

this sneaking around?

Because it's something

that I believe in.

Dog breeding is wrong.

What about Mark

Stephens over at Unitel?

- Oh, wow.

- Seriously, in six months, you could become

a marketing manager.

Okay, but did you not hear

anything that I just said?

So how long are you

gonna be out there?

As long as it takes for me to find

something on these low-lifes.

Low-lifes?

You can't go into this thing

with an attitude like that.

As a journalist,

I would never begin a story

with a presumption of guilt.
