On July 9, 2023, [[Daniel Larson]] adopted a dog from [https://www.longmonthumane.org Longmont Humane Society] in Longmont, Colorado, which he then after named Music (formerly Zola).

Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his various mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit. Even worse, people feared that [[December 10th Incident|Daniel's violent tendencies]] towards people and property made Music a potential target in Daniel's next [[Meltdowns|meltdown,]] and could result in Daniel hurting the dog in a fit of rage, like he’s done to many others | Many users demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to factors such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, a lack of a constant food source or shelter, his various mental illnesses, and the general negligence he continues to exhibit.

Not long after Daniel adopted Music, multiple rescue missions were carried out by people such as [[Ox]], however the most notable one was carried out by former Daniel Larson YouTuber, [[Goated Mines]], and many other members of the /r/Daniellarson subreddit. Through a Discord server, [[Flexburger]], and multiple others, collaborated to save Music. Two days later on July 11th, WeenWeenMusic, or simply Ween, rescued Music from Daniel, making this the shortest arc in Daniel Larson history due to it lasting (thankfully) for barely two days. | Not long after Daniel adopted Music, multiple rescue missions were carried out by people such as [[Ox]], however the most notable one was carried out by former Daniel Larson YouTuber, [[Goated Mines]], and many other members of the /r/Daniellarson subreddit.

Following Music's rescue, Daniel had a [[The 7/11 Incident|meltdown inside of a Walmart]], wherein he destroyed merchandise and attempted to hijack a bus, before being apphrehended by the police. After being released from police custody, Daniel was admitted into a psychiatric ward, where he'd stay for the next week. | |||
Since the rescue, Daniel has expressed a desire to adopt a new animal several times.

During this time, Daniel had a [[Management|manager]] by the name of [[Warren]], although little is known about him. [[Warren]] most likely told Daniel to keep his (i.e. Daniel's) location a secret. This can be inferred from the amount of times Daniel was found lying about his location to throw people off of his scent. Additionally, Daniel was still using Cameo, which gave him plenty of money to adopt a dog.[[File:Longmont Worker Testimony.png|thumb|401x401px|A long Reddit post made by a worker of the Longmont Humane Society.|left]]On July 9th, 2023, Daniel adopted Music, a German Shepard mix, from the Longmont Humane Society, an animal shelter in Longmont, Colorado. However, it is not know how long Daniel was in Longmont. Daniel's reasoning for getting a dog was for Music to act as security, more specifically as a "guard dog". While Daniel was allowed to adopt and walk out of the shelter with her, workers and bystanders were concerned about Daniel getting a dog, but nobody truly tried to stop him. [[File:Longmont Facebook Comment.png|thumb|A concerned bystanders comment who claims to have seen Daniel whilst adopting Music. ]]There was an attempt by Humane Society employees to slow down the adoption process, but they ultimately allowed Daniel to take Music with him.

The worker | The worker went on to explain that people adopting animals lying about their living conditions was common at the shelter, and many people of Daniel's stature passed through and were perfectly capable of caring for dogs.

Though, even with this information, they still expressed disgust with the way many members of the subreddit, and presumably people from other platforms, treated the workers and Longmont Humane Society. The worker went on to claim that most workers who only chose to stay there out of genuine love for animals, now had to deal with several emergency service calls which resulted in first responders showing up due to swatting attempts, or false bomb threats. '''While extremely plausible, it’s worth noting that these events are unconfirmed.''' | ||

Even more confusingly, Music was later found to have [https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/giardia-in-dogs Giardia], a parasitic infection that affects the digestive system. Daniel would later claim that he got dry food for her, but no video or photo evidence of this would ever surface, which lead community members to question the validity of this. Daniel initially did not post about Music at all, only having her posted when a fan named Keith, who was in the area, took a video of her. | |||
He had taken a video while Daniel was seated at a Jimmy Johns, where he's seen talking to Daniel about his new "guard dog" while taunting [[World of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]]. After this interaction, Daniel would start posting videos of Music, which immediately sparked shock in the community when they realized that this was not someone else's dog, but a dog he had adopted himself. {{#evt: | |||

Despite the fact it is likely illegal to take the dog from him, Daniel had lied about his living arrangements to adopt her and had therefore adopted her fraudulently. Secondly, Daniel was a frequent caller of the Denver police, so the odds of him being taken seriously when calling in were ultimately slim. Third, Daniel has little idea of how the [[Daniel and the Law|legal system]] actually works (and additionally, he has been sent to jail several time), and no matter how many unspecified legal threats he would make, it is most likely that no charges would be pressed.

In the time it took Ox to arrive from Wyoming, Goated Mines and many others called Longmont Animal Control and the Longmont Humane Society. While the Humane Society did not answer the phone, presumably due to the amount of harassment they were receiving, Animal Control was made aware of the situation. This would later be corroborated by Ox, who said he'd seen Animal Control checking the Longmont area when he finally arrived in Colorado.{{Citation Needed}} [[File:Longmont Statement 7-10-23.png|thumb|A public statement issued by Longmont Humane Society.|350x350px]]Not long after, Daniel began to post more videos of Music. In these videos, she looked incredibly hot and anxious, and could be heard whimpering. | ||
Eventually, the Longmont Humane Society saw fit to issue a public statement regarding the situation, only a day after the adoption. In their statement, the Longmont Humane Society acknowledged the situation and informed the public that they were doing everything in their power to get Music away from Daniel. | |||

While people were working to rescue Music, concerns grew as the forecast predicted heat over 90 degrees, which would be very stressful to a dog without proper cooling or water.

After meeting at Union Station, they would make their way to a bridge along Riverway, where they would try to film another music video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rBVbJmEd4</ref> Daniel would soon start live streaming on his YouTube channel, [[Daniel Larson NYC 13]]. While he was live, people started working to find his location so animal control could move in and seize Music. | |||
Because doxxing was not allowed on the subreddit, many, including [[Goated Mines]], created Discord servers where people could work together to find Daniel and Music. In these servers, some members made posts to Longmont and Denver pages, urging people to look out for Daniel and to immediately report him when seen. Some people even claimed to have seen Daniel in the area, having been worried about his mental state. | |||

The dog seemed to frequently bark at the people around Daniel, which people speculated to be a sign of stress. Daniel said her barking was because of her "guard dog nature", and spoke at length about how he'd gotten Music so she could act as protection for him. The stream was mostly uneventful as the members of Expo Productions continued to film their music video. [[File:Expo Productions Message.png|left|thumb|Goated Mines message to a member of Expo Productions.|310x310px]]Eventually, Daniel's location was found: under Cherry Creek, on Lake Street.{{Citation Needed}} As soon as Daniel was found, multiple people contacted Animal Control and informed them of Daniel's location and abusive past. Animal Control said they'd send over someone to the area. As the live stream came to a close, Daniel announced that he was going to Starbucks; Animal Control had missed their window of opportunity. | ||
Before ending the stream, Daniel would say he was going to go live again in around half an hour. Members of both the subreddit and Discord waited for him to go live once more before calling again, as to not make Animal Control suspicious. While the Starbucks Daniel visited was found extremely quickly, Daniel was not there. While Daniel was at Starbucks, he posted a few videos of him giving Music a heartbreakingly small amount of water in what was later found to be a bowl made for cats and puppies. | |||

=== 7/11 Incident === | |||
''Main Article: [[The 7/11 Incident]]'' | |||
Daniel's intense reaction to Music being taken led to Daniel going into a violent range. Bizzarly, It is reported that he entered a Walmart and began destroying several stands of merchandise, as well as trying to hijack a bus full of senior citizens. This prompted customers to restrain him until the police arrived. Afterwards, Daniel was taken into police custody and questioned as to why he performed these actions. However, it can be assumed that he never faced any charges during the initial arrest. | |||
Many refer to this as the '''July 11th incident''' or the '''7/11 incident.''' This incident was originally lost media, as it was one of the very rare incidents that was not recorded by either Daniel or bystanders, but has since been recovered via police bodycam footage. | |||

After the flurry of posts attempting to describe what happened, Daniel stopped to call someone. That person put Daniel on speakerphone and played it through a Discord call, where Goated Mines was able to record it. The recorded call was later posted on YouTube. Goated Mines provided a very brief description in a Reddit post. | After the flurry of posts attempting to describe what happened, Daniel stopped to call someone.

Daniel then uploaded a video stating, in between heavy breathes, that he is taking this to the Supreme Court and that security companies refuse to work with Daniel as they don't believe what he tells them. | |||

Daniel calls 911 multiple times; on one of the calls he claimed to have screamed that he had a bomb and hung up. He believed this would help him get his story heard, and claimed that people were assaulting his [[Family|family members]], despite almost all of them wanting nothing to do with him. Despite this seeming like it would have no consequences, Daniel would [[Second Jail Arc|go to jail almost a year later]] for threats like these. | |||

I'm sick and tired of fans assaulting, harassing, beating up my family, injuring people, stealing dogs, doxxing, and stealing money, fraudulent... shit, blaming it on me and my family.

So it's not virtual reality. It's not bullshit. It's really actually happening and it's serious. I just called 9-1-1 for a second time in under an hour, and they still don't believe what I'm saying.

Daniel's last video for the night was a YouTube live | Daniel's last video for the night, and soon after, the week, was a YouTube live stream where he filmed himself talking with EMTs about how his popularity was out of control and that he feared for his life. He explained multiple times that the reason for his behavior and multiple 9-1-1 calls was to have his story heard. | ||
During the interaction, he was also charged for damage to a wall at the School of Mines for $500. The live ended as he arrived at the hospital, preparing for a visit to the [[Psychiatric Hospital|mental health unit]] and possibly to speak to social service workers. Daniel is not allowed a phone in the unit, resulting in no new content for the next week. | |||

On July | On July 13th, a very medicated sounding Daniel left a voicemail from the mental health unit to an unknown party (presumed to be for his then [[Management|manager]], [[Warren]]) giving an update on his overall status and in particular the progress of his discharge. This voicemail is leaked to the subreddit via [[Flexburger]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14z6d1e/daniel_larson_voicemail_from_today_via_flex/</ref> Besides the obvious effects of the medication on the timbre of his voice and pacing of his speech, this call is perhaps most notable for Daniel's correct pronunciation of the word of the word "request", a word he usually pronounces as "recrest". | ||

On July 19th, 2023, eight days after the livestream, Daniel was finally released from the mental health unit. Not long after, Daniel | On July 19th, 2023, eight days after the livestream, Daniel was finally released from the mental health unit. Not long after, Daniel returned his usual delusional state, stating that he still needed to find his dog<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/154asrg/bargaining_arc/</ref> and that he had also filed charges against the "dog napper".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/154ca0z/filed_charges_on_someone_he_doesnt_know_and_is/</ref> | ||
Daniel also made a post claiming that the mental health hospital didn't put him on any medication, though this appears to be a lie.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/154dhos/latuda_be_kidding_me/</ref> He later uploaded a video entitled "proof Daniel Larson can take care of a dog" which was just a video of Daniel giving Music some water from the time he still had access to her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we_X74JO5U4</ref> No matter how much Daniel said that he was going to get Music back, or any type of animal, he never managed to. | |||

Following this event, animal shelters or any place for adopting pets in Daniel’s area had been made aware to not give him any type of animal, so the likelihood of there being a sequel to this arc is unlikely, especially given his criminal charges following the 7/11 Incident. | ||
