I was so happy to see that you helped Henry. He is such a cute dog. it is awful to see when animals are abused. Thank you for helping Henry.

I was so happy that Howie got better. I love this dog from the first moment I saw him ....I will like to adopt him. Please give me information how can I do this.

Please keep us informed on Howie's progress. He is a beautiful dog who deserves a great home. Let us know when he gets adopted. Yesterday, I called the animal hospital where Howie is staying and the receptioninst told me that I was the 10,000th call about Howie that day!

My lab/golden retriever mix recently broke a tooth she had to have it extracted and prior to the extraction and ever since she has decided she doesn't want to eat anymore. I was getting very concerned and so started hand feeding her she would not willing take the food so I would open her mouth and put it inside. Very frustrating and a friend of mine told me I am probably prolonging the problem and to see if you had some words of wisdom. It has been a week since her tooth was taken out. They did have to go in and dig out the root the tooth was not dead or abcsessed but she had refused to eat also prior to the extraction. any words of wisdom and helpful suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hi there....I was also trying desperately to find out about Howie and how I could adopt him...I currently have a Lab mix rescue and am looking to take in another. Where do I go for this info? I sadly missed the first part of his section on last Friday's show to know where he is.

Hi There

Howie has found a home.
My wife and I adopted Howie last week and he has settled in fantasticly. He is Happy and Loved.
Thanks to Cesar and all the Gals and the Vet

Neil and Summer

Regarding Howie.....

I called the animal hostpital in Atlanta early this week and was elated to find out that Howie had been adopted. Since I saw him on Ceasar's show, I had been a little stressed out hearing about his original circumstances & his need for a good home. I had told my wife that if he did not get adopted soon that I would be making the 15 hour trek from South Texas to Atlanta and try to adopt him. I am very happy that he has found a good home.

Congratulations to Neil & Summer on their adoption of Howie. He is a beautiful dog well deserving of a good life, free from abuse and full of love. I hope they treat him like the gift that he most certainly is!!!

I have recently become a pet sitter. I love animals and have a deep respect for them. I recently came across an animal that is a mix breed and lives in a rather emotional family. Some are loud some are too aggressive. The dog was a rescue pet and has a very bad problem of attacking if any person puts their hand near him. Even if you just put your hand out to let him smell it to get the scent. Which I do not do. I believe the dog will get to know me by just being in my calm presents. I think this is wright. The other day this dog went after my boy friend who happens to be the father of the owner of the dog. Watson did a lot of damage to my boy friends right hand that required a lot of medical attention. I am going to be pet sitting in April and I wanted to make sure that my thoughts of being the pack leader and showing pack leadership is going to be good. Or maybe this dog because of being abused by former owners should be handled another way? Please I would like some input. I have never felt that their were bad pets just misinformed owners.

Whew, I am sooo happy that Howie found the right home. I must say, after rescuing over 12 dogs in the past 15 years, the best and fastest recovery is a solid, safe and consistent and happy environment. Currently my friendly, rescued pack has one black and one red lab/mix, and three Bichon's, all house dogs, with their own bedroom. Lots of sunshine, green acres and fences! Like Cesar said, as participants in the rescue and rehab, sometimes, the biggest thing we can do for them, is to let them go - to the RIGHT home. Tough on us, better for them. Congrats to their new owners, and lets all spread the word that our Humane Societies everywhere, have a lot more "Howies" without the benefit of the show! Adopt a pound dog, and make a difference!

We were wondering if Neil and Summer had any updates about Howie's progress. We saw the episode in a rerun last night and were thrilled to hear that Howie has been adopted. We seem to be in the good company of many who were moved and wanted to give Howie a permanent and loving home. How is Howie?

To all who are interested in Howie's life now...
He has been with my husband and I for almost a year now! We honestly cant imagine our lives before he came. He is truly my angel with fur and stays by my side wherever I go. He loves his home and our nine year old cat Skitters.(I wouldnt go as far as to say the feeling is mutual, but she tolerates him!) We live on an acre and he runs around chasing bunnies and squirrels. If he's lucky enough to catch up to one he simply doesnt know what to do! He is sooo gentle and wouldn't dare hurt one. He just gives them all heart attacks!!! He LOOOOOVES car rides to anywhere and his favorite toy is a squeaky ice cream cone which he carries around in his mouth and even falls asleep with! My brother and 5 yr old nephew Gavin moved in with us this summer as my brother is going through a messy custody battle. Howie follows little Gavin everywhere and even goes into his room at night to check on him before comming to bed. Gavin adores him and Howie has been a light in this little boys life at a time when he's needed it the most. I realized the other night that he is not only just my angel but is an angel to all of us. Thank you a million to Ceaser, once again, for giving Howie a chance at learning how to love life.
We will load some pics soon for all to see!!!

We couldn't help but be touched by Howie's remarkable story. After watching a rerun of this episode, we immediately looked up the Animal Hospital of Towne Lake to see if the dog named Howie was still there and if we can pay him a visit him when we are in Atlanta. We are so grateful that he has found a loving home and that he is romping happily and living a full life as a dog. We would love to pay a visit to Viljoen family. Please keep us posted on the dog Howie's progress. It would be great to have a follow up episode on Cesar's show, it would be awesome lesson about the power of "Inseeing". Thanks Cesar, Animal Hospital of Towne Lake & those who have contributed to dog Howie's rehabilitation. Loving regards from Columbus, OH!
