Someone offered me their dog for a $50 bag.

0:08.5

They were such a crappy person and a terrible dog owner.

0:11.5

You'd better believe I took that frickin' dog and we had eight glorious years together.

0:15.9

Don't tell my current dog, but that was the most caring dog I've ever met.

The strangest thing I got was a dollar t-shirt.

1:16.7

It was just a dollar, but it was folded into a tiny shirt, and I thought it was cute,
