On July 9, 2023, [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] '''adopted a dog''' from the [https://www.longmonthumane.org Longmont Humane Society], an animal adoption center | On July 9, 2023, [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] '''adopted a dog''' from the [https://www.longmonthumane.org Longmont Humane Society], an animal adoption center in Longmont, Colorado. Afterward, he renamed the animal Music, formerly named Zola. Daniel's primary motivation for adopting this dog stemmed from his desire, and furthermore, [[Delusions|delusion]], for "security." He repeatedly asserted that Music was a "guard dog", despite the fact that Zola, in reality, was a regular house pet with no such training or capabilities. | ||

There was significant controversy, many questioning if it was justified to take a [[Homeless Era|homeless]] man’s dog, and raising concerns about legality of such. | ||
Many demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to various factors, such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, lack of consistent access to food and shelter, his various [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental | Many demanded the dog to be returned to the shelter due to various factors, such as Daniel's inability to financially support himself, lack of consistent access to food and shelter, his various [[Daniel and Mental Health|mental health issues]], and the general negligence he continues to exhibit. Furthermore, there were concerns that [[December 10th Incident|Daniel's violent tendencies]] towards people and property posed a risk to Music's safety, making her a potential target in Daniel's next [[Meltdowns|meltdown.]] | ||
Shortly after Daniel adopted Music, several rescue missions were carried out, one | Shortly after Daniel adopted Music, several rescue missions were carried out, including one by Daniel's past manager, [[Ox]]. The most notable (and successful) rescue was carried out by former YouTuber [[Goated Mines]] and a group called [[Ceel Team 6]], which consisted of himself, [[Flexburger]], and others. Together, they would work to save Music. On July 11th, just two days after the start of the arc, WeenWeenMusic, a member of [[Ceel Team 6]], successfully managed to rescue Music from Daniel, making this the shortest [[Chronology|arc]] in Daniel Larson history, lasting for barely two days. | ||
Following the dog's rescue, Daniel had a [[The 7/11 Incident|meltdown inside of a Walmart]] | Following the dog's rescue, Daniel had a [[The 7/11 Incident|meltdown inside of a Walmart]], during which he destroyed multiple merchandise displays before eventually being apprehended by authorities. After being released from police custody, Daniel made bomb threats against the White House, [[Second Jail Arc|(which he would later be charged for]]) and was promptly admitted into a [[Psychiatric Hospital|psychiatric ward]], where he remained for the next week. | ||
Since Music's rescue, Daniel has expressed a desire to adopt a new animal several times. Despite these repeated declarations, he has neither been attempted nor succeeded in being able to adopt another pet. | Since Music's rescue, Daniel has expressed a desire to adopt a new animal several times.

Weeks prior to the adoption, Daniel expressed desire to adopt a dog and several other pets. Given factors such as his [[Homeless Era|homelessness]] and inability to care for himself, many doubted the likelihood of Daniel being able to adopt any kind of animal. Daniel's repeated claims of having security and a dedicated support team seemed to align with delusional beliefs. [[File:Facebook Comments.png|thumb|330x330px|Worried Facebook commenters, posted under a warning about Daniel. ]]During this time, Daniel’s [[Management|manager]] was a man named [[Warren]], though little is known about him. Warren most likely advised Daniel to keep his location a secret. This can be inferred from the amount of times Daniel was found lying about his location to evade detection, such as lying about purchasing motel rooms. And during this time, Daniel had access to [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]], a video making service where he would be given money to make custom videos for those who requested them. Before his eventual banning, Daniel stated that he had make over $5,000 while using it.<ref>[[Cameo Arc#Pricing]]</ref> This provided him sufficient funds to adopt a dog. | Weeks prior to the adoption, Daniel expressed desire to adopt a dog and several other pets.

The duration of Daniel's stay in Longmont remains unclear. His justification for getting a dog was for Music to act as security, more specifically as a "guard dog." While Daniel was allowed to adopt Music and leave the shelter with her, both workers and bystanders were concerned about Daniel getting a dog, but nobody took action to prevent it. | ||
Despite attempts by Humane Society employees to slow down the adoption process, Daniel was allowed to take Music with him. In a future [[Longmont Humane Society Employee AMA|Reddit AMA]] published by a worker at the Longmont Humane Society, they admit that the animal shelter did not conduct any sort of background check on Daniel.

While the video was still up, Daniel was seated at a Jimmy John's, where Keith is seen discussing with Daniel about his new "guard dog" while taunting [[World of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]].

YouTubers such as [[Goated Mines]] and [[Content Creators#SmokeyMcC|SmokeyMcc]] made videos explaining the situation, while members of the community made Facebook posts trying to spread the word and increase the chances in locating Music. In the comments of these Facebook posts, several people expressed worry for the dog. Interestingly, one commenter claimed to have known Daniel when he was in the Tennyson Center, alleging he had faced sexual abuse “to him and by him,” though it is unclear what this means.<ref>[[:File:Daniel Sexual Abuse claims.png]]</ref> | ||
As efforts to rescue Music continued, concerns grew as the forecast predicted heat over 90 degrees, which would be very stressful and dangerous to a dog without adequate cooling or water. Daniel is known to walk multiple miles for things, which could be potentially fatal to a dog of Music's size without water, shade and rest. Daniel notably became very quiet online, eventually travelling to Union Station in Denver and meeting with a group of young men. These people were exposed for belonging to a group called "[[EXPO PRODUCTIONS]]", who made music videos. They had spent time with Daniel before, making people believe that they were aware of the situation and who Daniel was. | As efforts to rescue Music continued, concerns grew as the forecast predicted heat over 90 degrees, which would be very stressful and dangerous to a dog without adequate cooling or water.

Notable members of this group included Goated Mines, WeenWeenMusic, SlimJiMorrison, and [[Flexburger]]. The team spent two days meticulously tracking Daniel's movements. Ultimately, Daniel's love for nachos would be his downfall, as the restaurant he was staying at would be pinpointed and tracked before he could leave. | ||
On July 11, 2023, WeenWeenmusic, also known as Ween (not to be confused with the [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Weening term for those who fail at trolling)], successfully rescued Music. Ween located the restaurant Daniel was loitering at and approached Daniel, pretending to be a vet. After obtaining permission from Daniel, Ween discreetly walked away with Music and put her in their car. Daniel did not put up much of a fight, and the rescue was successfully completed.<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14wwqvs/music_rescue_information/ https://reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14wwqvs/music_rescue_information/]</ref> | |||
