Edie was scared at a shelter and scheduled to be euthanized last week.
She was lucky to have Bronwyne visit and save her life.
The person filming this, helped with calming her down, showing how dogs can be easily managed with a little bit of love and patience.

Robert and Catharine Pierce sit on the porch of their north Boulder home last may. The couple wanted their photo taken with their mouths taped closed because they thought their rights were being violated by threats to evict them over their nudity. On Wednesday, several people called Boulder police because Catharine Pierce was working outside topless.
A Boulder woman who was threatened with eviction last spring for gardening outside while wearing nothing but pasties and a thong took her au naturel look to the next level Wednesday, causing a stir with neighbors and police.
Catharine Pierce, 52, took advantage of the nice weather by toplessly tending to her gardens in the front and back yards of her home in the 800 block of Cherry Avenue in north Boulder.
Neighbors and passersby first called police to report the woman, who kept on her yellow thong and pink gardening gloves, about 1:45 p.m.
Sarah Huntley, a police spokeswoman, said an officer sent to investigate told the woman that she should consider putting on a shirt out of concern for the children playing outside the Shining Mountain Waldorf School across the street.
Pierce went inside where her husband, Robert Pierce, 59, called police to complain about the officer's unsolicited recommendation.
Huntley said a police supervisor agreed with the man that his wife wasn't breaking any laws.
Robert Pierce told the supervisor, "OK, well, she's going back outside with her top off," Huntley said.
While Boulder bans public nudity at the shores of Coot Lake -- a popular gathering spot for nudists decades ago -- and state law prohibits exposing genitals, being topless isn't against the law in Boulder.
Huntley said police "can't order her to put a shirt on," but the officer was justified in asking her to reconsider her scant clothing because families were concerned.

Robert and Catharine Pierce sit on the porch of their north Boulder home last may. The couple wanted their photo taken with their mouths taped closed because they thought their rights were being violated by threats to evict them over their nudity. On Wednesday, several people called Boulder police because Catharine Pierce was working outside topless. (Mark Leffingwell)certainly can still advise her to put her shirt on ... based on other factors, such as children in the area," Huntley said.
Police received at least four calls about the topless gardener. Dispatchers began telling callers there was nothing they could do as long as the woman's thong stayed on, Huntley said.
"We have done what we can within the limits of the law as it stands now," Huntley said.
The Boulder City Council, which is considering expanding its anti-nudity law, recently removed a proposal that would have made showing the female nipple in public a municipal offense.
Huntley said the concerns among neighbors point to the need for such a code.
"These are some of the issues we are attempting to address with the proposal of a nudity ordinance," she said.
Tending to her front lawn, Catharine Pierce declined to answer questions. Her husband, however, said they weren't doing anything wrong.
"You don't see us trying to lure children over here," Robert Pierce said. "We stay within the scope of the law."
Asked why his wife works outside nearly nude, he said that's their way of worshipping.
Boulder Housing Partners, which owns the couple's house, threatened to evict the couple last year, saying they were violating the terms of their lease by creating a nuisance with their nudity.
The appearance drew mixed reactions Wednesday.
Jessica Mulen, a nanny walking three young children along the street, said, "I would assume their parents would have a problem with that" and headed the other direction.
Bill Hanson, a Boulder resident who brought his children to a busy park near the Pierce home, said he first saw the woman with pasties on last year.
"I saw a gal with no top on," he said. "I did a double-take."
Hanson said the scene was a little shocking, but "she seemed kind of casual about it."
Karon Dickinson, who was also visiting the park, said she was OK with the woman's choice.
"I could care less if someone wants to sit out there like that," she said.
She said she didn't know being topless in Boulder is legal, and she might take a cue from the gardener.
"I might do it in my backyard," she said.
A company of army soldiers decided to have some fun with their company cook, a short, fat, very un-martial young man. So every morning before he woke up, one of them would defecate into his boot. The amazing thing was that the cook accepted this treatment silently. Every morning he would clean out his boot and go to work as if nothing was wrong.
After several weeks of this, the soldiers began to tire of the game; it wasn't very much fun because the cook never reacted, and they were beginning to feel guilty as well. So they sent a delegation to apologize to him and promise to mend their ways.
The cook heard them out, then said, "You are going to stop shitting in my boots? Okay,then I'm gonna stop pissing in your coffee."
Messages flew back and forth between 15-year-old Josie Lou Ratley and 15-year-old Wayne Treacy Wednesday afternoon while she was in school and he was at home.
Until Ratley made a comment about Treacy's brother, who had committed suicide.
Enraged, Treacy pulled on his steel-toe boots, bicycled over to Deerfield Beach Middle School and pummeled Ratley, kicking her in the head with his boots up to seven times.
``They never even spoke to each other,'' BSO Sgt. Steve Feeley said of the moments leading up to the attack. ``It was strictly based on text messages.''
Thursday, Ratley remained in critical condition at Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. Treacy remained in custody, charged with premeditated attempted murder.
Another middle school student, 13-year-old Kayla Manson, also was in custody, facing a felony charge as an accessory because she knew about the planned attack and helped Treacy find Ratley.
The day began with Treacy trying to reach Manson, his ex-girlfriend.
Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti said Manson did not have a cellphone but had borrowed Ratley's phone in the past. So he sent Ratley a text, trying to meet up with Manson.
But Ratley disapproved of the relationship, and she responded with a comment about that, Lamberti said.
A series of texts followed, back and forth between Ratley and Treacy. At one point, Manson saw them. Then Ratley sent a comment about the suicide of Treacy's older brother last year.
Last October, on the day before Treacy's 15th birthday, he found his older brother hanging from a tree, said his lawyer, assistant public defender Betsy Benson. Michael Bell, whom Benson described as Treacy's ``closest family member,'' was 30.
Enraged at what Ratley had texted, Treacy put on his steel-toe boots and pedaled from his home in Pompano Beach to the middle school. He even sent other people text messages, saying he was going to kill her, BSO's Feeley said.
About 2:45 p.m., he arrived at the middle school at 701 SE Sixth Ave., he met Manson and almost attacked someone else until he was told that wasn't Ratley.
Manson then walked Treacy about 70 yards to where Ratley stood at the bus area on the school's east side, Feeley said, and pointed her out as the one in the red shirt with the black backpack.
Treacy rushed over, knocked her to the ground and stood over her, banging her head onto the concrete at least five or six times, according to an arrest report. Then he stood over her and repeatedly kicked her in the head up to seven times with his steel-toe boots.
``He was kicking her in the head soccer style at that point,'' Lamberti said.
A teacher saw the attack and pulled Treacy off Ratley, investigators said. Soon, a BSO school resource officer arrived.
Ratley was flown by helicopter to Broward General Medical Center, where she remained in critical condition on Thursday night.
Soon after the attack, deputies took Treacy into custody. Lamberti said that Treacy didn't show remorse. ``It seems we have a culture of callousness with our kids,'' he said.
On Thursday, deputies took Manson into custody also. She is charged as an accomplice in the attack, a principal in the first degree, because she knew about it and helped Treacy locate Ratley.
The same afternoon, Treacy appeared before Broward Circuit Judge Elijah Williams, his fists closed by his side as Williams spoke.
Williams found probable cause to hold Treacy for attempted premeditated murder. The teen will be held in juvenile detention for 21 days as prosecutors determine whether to charge him as an adult.
Williams scheduled his next court appearance for March 26.
Assistant Public Defender Benson said Treacy has no arrest history and was a student in good standing at Deerfield Beach High School. ``He was a good son,'' she said.
Treacy's mother, Donna Powers, wept silently but did not speak. His stepfather, Cary Smith, stood behind her and wrapped an arm around her protectively.
Wednesday's attack took place at the same middle school where Michael Brewer was a student. Last October, Brewer was surrounded by a group of schoolmates, doused in rubbing alcohol and set ablaze. Brewer, burned over two-thirds of his body, survived the attack but continues undergoing physical therapy.
Three teens, also from the middle school, have been charged with second-degree attempted murder in that case.
Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So I went to a shrink and told him. . . 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'
'How much do you charge?'
$90 per visit,' replied the Doctor.
"I'll sleep on it," I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street.
'Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were having,' he asked.
'Well, ninety bucks a visit, three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10.00.I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'
'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude, he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain't nobody under there now!'
