A purpose, a family and a place to call home. Today one dog will be saved and one family will have a new best friend. This is lucky dog. Brandon give me a heel. Narrator its training day for ajax. Brandon and we heel. Narrator this 5 monthold labradoodle is at the perfect age to begin obedience training. Brandon nice. Narrator with good work comes reward, in his case treats. Brandon there you go, good. Go play, were done for right now. Narrator the session ends not a moment too soon. Brandon yeah, we really are done. I gotta run buddy. Come on. The east valley shelter just called me. They say they have about a 1 yearold German Shepherd they found roaming the streets as a stray. From what they can tell shes very sweet, she loves dogs, loves people, the whole 9 yards. But the one thing they notice about her is she has a lot of energy and dogs with a lot of energy dont do well in cages. They have the need to run and release that energy. If they cant do it, it actually changes their personality over time. So im gonna go down and adopt her and see what i can do for her. Narrator at the shelter luna is clearly excited to have a visitor. Brandon is that you . Is that you . Are you the one i heard about . Are you the one i heard about . Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Are you sweet . I think you are, i think you are, youve already answered that question. Narratordon decis to meet with her on her own turf to get a better read. Brandon let me in, let me in. Can i sit . Oh my gosh. Hi, hi. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Im convinced. Wanna go for a ride . Yeah. Ill take that as a yes. Narrator brandon is convinced enough to give luna her red training collar. Brandon i know, i know, i love you too, but guess what, youre still gonna be in training. Those kisses dont work on me. Actually they do. Come on, lets go meet the pack. Brandon come on, come on, come on, lead the way. I know, its exciting. Im excited too. Come on. Make friends, make friends, theres plenty around here. Welcome to the lucky dog ranch. Go on, go play. Narrator luna proves adept at making friends, which is just the trait that one family is looking for. Narrator in murieta, california chris and mary cay find themselves with something of an empty nest. Their two sons are grown and living out of the house while chris is often on the road for work. Chris my travel schedules take me out of town for generally 3 or 4 days a week. So its generally mary cay here on her own. May cay i like to bake and i like to do embroidery and i try to go on a walk every day. We lost our dog bailey 2 years ago. Ive just finally gotten to the point where im ready for another dog. It would be nice to have a companion, somebody to talk to, somebody to walk with, but somebody also to give my husband comfort knowing that i wasnt home alone. Chris just having that additional element in the house for safety but for companionship is really critical. Narrator whats critical for luna, meanwhile, is evaluating how she responds to the 7 common commands; sit, stay, down, come, off, heel and no. Brandon can you sit . Good, nice. So i asked her to sit and she gives me a sit just for one second and then she gets up and walks away. Then i bring her back to me and tell her to sit and go down. Do you go down . Do you know a down . Do you have any idea what im saying . Do you come . Yeah, alright. No, you run away. I noticed over and over her attention was not on me, it was pretty much everywhere else. I couldnt get focus out of this dog. Narrator but then brandon discovers just what luna is focused on. Brandon you just want to play. Here, i got a better idea, come here. A lot of dogs are actually more toydriven than they are fooddriven, and luna is a prime example of this. She has major toy drive. Believe it or not, it makes the process so much easier to train a dog when theyre more toydriven than fooddriven, mainly because the more full their stomach gets the less they want to work because the less hungry they are. Can you come . With toys, they never get tired of it. So the sky is the limit with this dog. Narrator coming up. Chris hi brandon. Narrator . Problems with a shepherd in the past could spell trouble for lunas training. Mary cay i dont wanna have to go through that again with a dog, it was excruciatingly painful. Announcer heres a health and wellness tip from banfield pet hospital. German shepherds love to run but their activity can be hampered by an inherited condition known as hip dysplasia. This Abnormal Development of the hips can lead to pain, reduced mobility, arthritis and lameness. To make sure that hip dysplasia is properly addressed Early Detection is the key.

Oh, what a relief it is brandon okay, show me again. Narrator luna, the 1 yearold German Shepherd, responds better to toys than she does to treats. So brandon is using that toy drive to aid in her training. Brandon there you go, good. Narrator with a lot of love to give, luna just might be a match for recent empty nesters mary cay and chris. Brandon today ill be doing a home visit of mary cay and chris to see if theyre a good match for luna. Theyre a pretty active couple, they do a lot of stuff together; whether its hiking, walking in parks, Walking Around the neighborhood. Chris hi brandon . Brandon how are you . Chris good, come on in. Brandon so that makes them the idea candidate for a shepherd because shepherds tend to be active dogs. So what exactly are you looking for in a dog . Mary cay i am alone most of the time. Brandon yeah. Mary cay and while i dont mind that, it would be nice to have somebody to talk to, instead of just myself. I have a Comfort Level walking with a dog. Its also very difficult to walk without a dog because when i walk without bailey this happens. Sorry. Brandon and then she told me about her old dog bailey which happened to be another shepherd, but a much different kind; a belgian shepherd, a malinois. Do you know about mals . Do you know the history of them and what theyre traditionally bred for . A lot of people dont realize that malinois can be a very difficult breed to handle, mainly because they are basically bred for work. Mary cay she was very powerful, very strong dog. I had trouble walking her. Trying to teach her to heel. I tried using the technique where you turn each time but i was doing it as she pulled, so she never learned to not pull me. And my sons had walked her before i had and theyre much taller than i am and take longer strides so they walked faster and she wanted to keep walking that fast. And it ended up that she injured my shoulder and i was in physical therapy for a year and a half. I dont want to have to go through that again with a dog, it was excruciatingly painful. Brandon everything mary cay just told me sent one big red flag right up the flag pole. She basically wants a dog much like her old dog, and even though a German Shepherd is much different than a belgian shepherd, it does have the ability to do the same thing to her arm that her old dog did. Ill just lay the facts down, any dog potentially can pull. No matter what you get its all on you as far as your handling skills. Ive seen the best trained dogs in the world go to people that do not know how to handle that dog and suddenly it looks like the dog is out of control and it was never trained at all. You have to be a handler, not a trainer. I can train the dog. Mary cay okay. Brandon you have to learn how to handle it. Having said that, i do have a very good dog that i recently rescued. She is a German Shepherd. Shes about a year old so she is an adolescent, which is a perfect time to start training right now. But as we all know, adolescents are like 13 yearold kids; 13 yearold kids like to get into trouble. Thats my only concern is giving a dog to you thats in that adolescent state of mind. Because the last thing i want to do is give you a dog that repeats the past. Theres two main things that im riding on right now; number one, can i train luna to the point where i feel its safe to give her to mary cay . And number two, can i train mary cay well enough to understand how to handle a dog like luna . If i cant accomplish those two things i might have to find her a dog thats much better suited for her. Narrator coming up, lunas training in the basic commands is interrupted by an unexpected mystery. Brandon who turned the yard into swiss cheese . Ito become dangerous.

Ill be on the wall, feel free to try them all. Country dinner plates at cracker barrel. Narrator lunas perspective new family is eager for a canine companion. But since mary cays last shepherd injured her shoulder its essential that luna be properly trained in the basics. Brandon come here, all the way. Good. With me. Perfect. Narrator progress is slow but steady and its enough for luna to earn some play time with a friend. Brandon i took luna down to the training yard for some free time. Theres no toys down here, ill be right back. And i ran back upstairs to grab a few toys. And in that 90 seconds that i was gone suddenly the yard looked like swiss cheese. Alright, who did it . Huh . Whos guilty . And there actually is one way to find out. The entire ranch is hooked up with a Security System and there happens to be a camera facing right in the area where they dug. So its time to review the footage. And the culprit is. Luna. She starts digging one hole and then a second hole and then finally a third hole until she sees me come around the corner and pretends like nothing ever happened. This is a common problem for dogs all over the world, especially young dogs. A lot of young dogs love digging, they just love making a mess. This could potentially be a problem for her new family because nobody wants a dog digging holes in their big, beautiful backyard. So its time to train this issue out of her system once and for all. And the way you do it is with a little bit of their own waste. Most dogs smell dog waste and dont want anything to do with it. So i take a scoop and simply put it in the hole that she started digging. From there i lightly cover it up. I do this to all three holes. And from there i simply watch the magic happen. Lo and behold she runs right back up to the hole that she was digging but she took one sniff inside, dipped her paw barely in and realized uh uh, im not touching that. All this does for a dog is make the game not so fun anymore. When they go to dig a hole again they remember there was something inside of that hole they did not want to touch. Problem solved. Luna . Whats this . This is better than a hole, trust me. Go get it there you go. Narrator coming up, while luna makes progress with her training outdoors, a new problem emerges inside the house. Brandon i see someones a counter surfer. Hey announcer heres a health and wellness tip from banfield pet hospital. Deepchested dogs like German Shepherds can be especially vulnerable to a stomach disorder called gastric dilatation volvulus; also known as gdv, stomach torsion, bloat or twisted stomach. This extremely serious condition should be considered lifethreatening. So if your dog exhibits warning signs like grunting, dry heaving, excess salivation or a bulging of the abdomen then rush your pet to an emergency Medical Clinic right away. You can help a child from a low Income Community achieve the dream of a higher education. Visit cbs cares. Narrator being an adolescent, luna is a fast learner. But shes got a nose for trouble. Yesterday she was digging holes and today she appears to have her sight set on the kitchen. [sound of bowls dropping on floor] brandon i run in the kitchen and lo and behold. I see someones a counter surfer. Theres the pot on the tile floor with luna licking the edge of it. She is a counter surfer. And although everything is safe in my kitchen i cant be too sure that everything will be safe in the new familys home that shes going to. Narrator and because mary cay is an avid baker its imperative that luna learn proper kitchen manners. Brandon the way ill be training this is with two of my favorite tools; the spy cams and the notorious penny bottle. When i set the spy cams up itll convince luna that shes all alone in the room. Little does she know that im viewing the monitor one room over. I also have the penny bottle in my hand. Lo and behold, what does she do, she gets her paws on the countertop looking for more fun stuff to get into. The moment i see this i break into the room with the penny bottle, give it a nice firm shake. Ah, ah, ah. Off, i see you. She instantly pulls her paws off the counter. So time and again i time it perfectly where i break in the room and shake it, startling her off the countertops until eventually shes doing very well. But i know that she knows that im just in the next room over so im gonna take this to the next level. So i jump in my truck and i drive all the way down the street and im watching. But what does she do, she jumps back on the countertop. Its time to use a little bit of technology to put the odds back in my favor. So i pull out a device that actually has a motion and a vibration sensor on it and when its triggered it sets off an alarm. I place both devices in key areas on the countertops and i get back in my truck, drive down the street and once again start viewing the monitor. What does she do, she puts her feet on the countertops. But this alarm startles her and she jumps back down. What this does is it makes the game not so fun for her anymore; effectively and potentially one day saving her life. Narrator coming up. Brandon if i dont like what i see here the deal might have to be off. Narrator it will all come down to mary cay to determine lunas future. Lubut my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. Then i found aleve pm. The only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. Now im back. Aleve pm for a better am. Narrator 1 yearold German Shepherd luna is a bundle of energy but through her training she has mastered the 7 common commands and is hitting her stride with brandon. He eventually takes her out on the town to make sure that luna wont pull in public settings. Man how you doing . Brandon how are ya . Come on, come on. Narrator finally after taking luna on walks in the park and on hiking trails, brandon feels that lunas oneonone training is complete. Now its time to see if that behavior can carry over to her prospective new family. Brandon todays a big day for not only mary cay and chris but also for luna because its the day they get to form a new family. Hey, how are you . Mary cay oh my gosh. Hello. Brandon somebody wants to join the family. I could see it in mary cays eyes right away that this was what shed been missing in her life. Chris oh thank you for the kisses. Mary cay such a sweetheart. Oh, youre beautiful. Chris hey luna. Hi. Mary cay it was very exciting. cause i wasnt expecting her. Chris shes so beautiful. Brandon she is great. She is great. Mary cay yeah, what a sweetheart. Chris such a wonderful disposition. Brandon yeah. But i had to remind mary cay that the deal is not totally sealed yet. Mary cay i see she still has her red collar on. Brandon what color should it be . Mary cay green. Brandon theres only one way to get it there. Because of her history with her old dog she has to prove to me that she has what it takes to handle a shepherd. Brandon training a dog is only half the battle. Training the human is the other half. The first thing i want to show you is just basic leash techniques. Whenever im walking her i dont have the leash like this, i dont have the leash like this; i have it like this. Now i can slip the collar higher on the neck under the jaw and behind the ears. Thats the smallest part of the dogs neck and lo and behold it also holds the dogs head higher. The higher that head is the more control youre gonna have. I wanted to make sure that mary cay understood the heel command because her old dog injured her arm because it did not have a good heel command. When i walk her im gonna say the word heel and youll notice little corrections. Safety comes first before anything and if i do not feel the new handler has the skills to safely handle their new dog i cant in good faith release the dog. Alright, so try that. If i dont like what i see here the deal might have to be off. Mary cay luna, heel. Come on. Brandon now stop, pull back. There you go. Very light. And take a few steps. Mary cay luna, heel. Brandon shes still looking for me, its fine. Narrator after weeks of training with brandon it takes some time for luna to turn her attention toward mary cay. Brandon there you go. Now show her the treat. Mary cay good girl. Brandon and then say heel and turn clockwise. Mary cay heel. Narrator but after a long and thorough training session. Brandon there you go, just like that. Narrator . Luna is now following mary cays every command, proving that the student has now become the teacher. Brandon perfect, and give her a treat. Mary cay good girl. Oh what a good girl. Brandon nice, nice, nice. And at that point id seen enough. Open that up. Brandon put it on her. Narrator luna has earned her green graduation collar and thats not only a victory for her, but for her new family as well. Mary cay i dont know how to explain how huge a gift this is. Chris it just makes me warm inside seeing how happy mary cay is having a dog that we both love and one that shes comfortable with. Mary cay shes a very special dog and is going to be a huge part of our family. I just dont know how to say thank you enough. Brandon alright luna, take care of yourself. Luna lost her home and her family while mary cays loss was her beloved dog. Now new memories can be made for years to come, filled with adventure, happiness and most importantly love. Mary cay kisses . Chris you got kisses . Brandon from hopeless to a home, thats my mission one dog at a time. Narrator on this episode of dr. Chris pet vet. Jess big cuddles. Narrator . 2 yearold boris s running out of time. Jess if i dont do anything he will get to the point where he will just be very sick. Narrator radical surgery is his only chance. Chris the situation has now become so desperate. Its only the second time in the world its ever been performed. Jess so basically youre my last hope. Chris theres no pressure. Jess no pressure. Narrator and then, a tiny bird has something stuck in its throat, but can tim catch him before its too late . Tim thats him, thats him. Chris ive loved animals my entire life. Today im a passionate veterinarian dedicating myself to the care of all animals. Im dr. Chris and these are the stories of my life as a pet vet. Chris im on my way out to newcastle to see the family but before i get up there i really wanted to make a special stopoff. I got a letter from a girl called jess whos got a dog whos not even 2 years old yet called boris. Hes had some really serious troubles. She sounds pretty desperate so im really hoping i can help out in some way. Chris hey big guy. Were getting to know each other are we . Huh . Narrator boris was born with a cleft palate; a genetic deformity which leaves a lifethreatening hole between the roof of his mouth and the softer palate behind it. Chris is it true, are you a tough guy . Youve had to be a tough guy havent you . Narrator vet nurse jess warby stepped in to try and save boriss life. Jess it was quite stressful. A lot of us didnt know if he would survive. We had to put a tube into his stomach every 2 hours to inject milk to feed him and it was touch and go. Chris its okay buddy, its okay. He wouldve had quite a few infections id imagine along the way. Jess yeah, he gets them quite regularly. Chris just from the food pushing up through his nasal cavity and carrying bugs. Jess yeah. Narrator in his short life boris has endured seven operations. Jess hes had ear cartilage harvested to try and fix the hole; that didnt work. Hes had a plate fashioned, like holes drilled in his gums, and that also didnt work. Chris oh wow, okay. Jess if i dont do anything he will get to the point where he will just be very sick, which is really scary for me. Good boy, good boy, good boy. Narrator chris will now arrange for jess and boris to meet with surgeon andrew marchevski at sash. Jess so basically youre my last hope. Chris theres no pressure. Jess no pressure. No pressure at all. Jess very excited arent you . Yes. Narrator jess has arrived at sash to find out boriss fate. The staffy was born with an extreme cleft palate and constant infections are lifethreatening. Jeff one way or the other im gonna know which way its gonna go. So. Scared. Scared in case its not good news. Hes my life. Narrator surgeon andrew marchevski and dental expert nadine fiani are the team in charge of boriss future. Nadine wow, its quite the hole. Narrator 3d scans show boriss condition is much worse than anybody expected. Andrew hes got a loss of bone basically from his nose all the way down to the back of his throat. But its actually probably about twice the size of the actual hole that we can see. Were gonna have to be creative and radical to try and get this closed. Were gonna give it a redhot go. Nadine in all honesty i think what we could do is actually extract these. Andrew take these out. Nadine take them out. Take them right out. Once that all heals itll allow us to have an extra centimeter of tissue that we can close up with, and a centimeter goes a really long way in the mouth. Andrew well, i think we can do something. Jess you do . Really . Andrew yeah. Its not gonna be easy. Jess okay. Andrew and its gonna take a while. Jess okay. Andrew and its not gonna be one procedure. Jess okay. Andrew i think we can do it. Jess you think you can do it . Andrew i think we can do it. Jess well that was more than i was expecting to hear. Andrew ive got to tread very carefully with this because jess has come here with high hopes and low expectations and i dont want to give her false hope. Its nice to get an opportunity to fix something as bad as this. Jess you say that now, you dont know what youre getting into. Thank you so much. Andrew alright jess. Jess thank you. Andrew this is his last chance. If we cant do this now its not gonna get done. So yeah, its gotta be tough. Narrator coming up on dr. Chris pet vet, chris lends a helping hand.

Jess a little bit scared to get my hopes up too high and get my heart broken again. Okay, you be a good boy. Andrew alright jess, you be brave too. Jess okay, thank you. Andrew come on boris. Jess bye. Andrew good boy, oh im happy to leave. Come on. Andrew what were seeing is the tip of the iceberg. The actual real hole is probably twice that size cause theres no bone underneath this which there should be. Narrator dental surgeon, nadine fiani, is heading the revolutionary procedure. Nadine we are going to take the teeth away in order to give ourselves as much tissue to be able to close that hole off. And at the moment its really the teeth that are standing in our way. Andrew these teeth are perfectly healthy and so theyre in there rocksolid. Narrator boriss smile may never be the same. But hes been left with enough teeth to be able to eat normally. Nadine i am absolutely thrilled with how everything went today. They were definitely difficult extractions but i think we got everything out and we managed to conserve as much bone as possible. And thats the most important thing cause thats going to be our scaffold next time. Andrew basically weve done half the job now. The really important part is what weve gotta do in a few weeks time and thats actually close the hole. After you. Puts a bit of pressure on because its not fixed yet. Im sure jess knows this is her last crack at it and its boriss last crack at it as well. Jess bubba andrew hi boris. Jess hello. Andrew wanna say hello to your mum . Come on, out you come. Jess oh, bubba. Yeah, a month to wait. One more procedure. Andrew if this fails were done. We cant do anything else. Jess oh, good boy. Tim there he goes. Okay, well lets hope that thats craig and lets keep trying to get cameron in here. Narrator at the local reptile park tim and trevor are no closer to catching cameron the cormorant. Tim thats him, thats him. Narrator the little bird has swallowed something that has caused dangerous swelling in his throat. Tim theres a lump that wasnt there a day ago. So its a real worry because anything stuck in their throat lets say we feed him that food might get stuck as well and simply he could choke. Narrator after 30 minutes the fastmoving cameron is still giving tim the runaround. Tim theres one, look they dive underwater and hide. Its not an easy task to catch a cormorant. Okay, hes up under the bridge. Tim okay, hes back in the water. Theyre very quick swimmers and that makes it really difficult. Jules hes onto us. Tim the birds are just giving us the slip. There he is. Gotcha mate. Hey buddy, hey, hey, hey. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Trev thats yellow band. Tim thats craig. Ow mate. Not our bird. Narrator once again cameron has managed to avoid capture. Jules back on the other side of the bridge. Tim i see him, i see him, i see him, hes still in there mate. Would you jump over the other side . Thats him. Thats him, thats him. Tim hey, settle down mate. Ah, straightaway i can feel it. Look at that. Geez that must be hurting him. Look at it, there it is. Trev yep. Tim okay, lets get him up. As much as we pick up every speck of rubbish thats around the place theres stuff that might filter through with the water thats being dropped and it could be anything from, you know, a chick packet to a dummy. Narrator cameron is now heading to the medical room. The object needs to be removed urgently. Tim just put him right down in the bottom so he doesnt fall. There you go mate. Right up, lets get him straight at the top. You guys grab that stuff . Jules yeah. Tim whatever it is in there could be penetrating through his tissue and that in itself could cause infection. And yeah, its not a good result if we dont get it out. Jules oh you guys stink. Tim no more biting. One of you want to hold him that way for me please . I can feel, its actually got bends in it. Best Case Scenario, this just comes straight out and its easy. Otherwise weve gotta take him down to the vet, knock him out which has its own risks, and its quite an elaborate procedure. I cant see what it is. The view down that throat is not that nice. But to prevent them from swallowing water and Everything Else their throat actually closes. So, you know, were talking a fair distance there now. Sorry mate, that cant be nice. The worst Case Scenario is that its rupturing something inside. Now if that happens hes not gonna eat, hes gonna feel good, theres gonna be big problems. A little bit more. Just hold the tweezers there, im gonna try and slip it over the end. Jules oh yeah, i can feel it. Tim yep, up you come. Keep coming, keep coming. Nope, nope, thats it. Down again. Jules lost it. Lost it. Narrator its a delicate procedure and after 10 minutes the team is no closer to extracting the mystery object. Tim thats it, down, down, keep him open. Jules lost it. Tim hang in there mate. Just want to feel again. Sorry little buddy. There it is, there it is, grab it. There you go. Jules a straw. Tim there you go mate. There you go. Wow. Jules well that must feel good to get it out. Tim how are ya mate . Sorry about that cameron. That must feel good buddy. As that straw was coming up his neck i could feel it running by my fingers and it come out. A big sigh of relief. Can you imagine that inside me i mean i wouldnt be alive. They dont give much away the little animals, thats why they need good care. Hey, look at him waiting. Jules i wonder if he knows that hes coming back. Tim here he is. Okay mate, you ready . Off you go, back to your brother. There you go, there you go buddy. Off you go. Narrator after the break.

Chris this should be the last time. Jess i hope so. No offense. Narrator its been three weeks since boris had 10 teeth removed in readiness for todays final and most important surgery. Jess last night in bed i mightve had a few little dark thoughts about the what if and if something goes wrong. But weve fought too hard and hes fought his whole life. So hes here against all odds. Chris come on buddy. Jess bye bubba. No, you need to go. Chris you gotta go buddy. Come on. Jess be good. Chris come boris. Jess be good. Chris come on. Narrator this is the last chance to fix the dangerous hole in his mouth. Chris the tricky thing about today is that its not like 95 percent of the work has been done and were almost there, this is the hardest operation, the trickiest operation. Andrew nadine kept it quite quiet that this hasnt been done very often. Didnt ya . Nadine i did, yeah. Sorry, i just. Im quite nervous about it. Chris boris has had so many different operations. The situation has now become so desperate were having to do an operation and its only the second time in the world. Andrew and just kind of mind all that tissue so we can then just flip it across. Narrator the surgery is slow and painstaking. After a marathon 4 hours its finally complete. Andrew were done. Chris hello. Jess hello. Chris how are you . Jess im good. Chris you know you were hoping for a good result . Jess yeah. Chris you just got it. Jess oh are you serious . How good of a result . Are you serious . Chris yeah. Its gone really well. Jess really . Chris yeah, really well. Jess there was plenty of tissue . Chris yeah. Its taken a lot of work from a lot of people to get to this moment but honestly the only thanks any of us needed was to see jesss face. Jess oh, i cant believe its all done. Its all done, its all over and its good. Bubba oh darling. Oh, you look sore. Chris he looks tired doesnt he . You just cant forget its been such a long and a really tough journey to get to this point. Even though jess wasnt in that surgery today it was her that fixed boris. She saw something in him from the start that was worth saving. She wouldnt take no for an answer. Today she got her reward. Narrator two months later boris is fully recovered and the ordeal is finally over for jess. Jess go get it. I think hes better looking now. Now hes got the fangs out, it makes him look tougher. I know, oh i know, oh i know. Its done, hes fixed. Now we can just relax and just enjoy life. But my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. Then i found aleve pm. The only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. Now im back. Aleve pm for a better am. Music mo welcome to the henry fords innovation nation.
