Many weeks before the adoption occurred, Daniel expressed his desire to adopt a dog and several other pets. Many considered the odds of Daniel ever adopting any sort of animal to be very slim, given his inability to properly care for himself, and his [[Homeless Era|homelessness]], which would make adoption highly unlikely. On many occasions, he has said that he has security and a team of people dedicated to protecting him. Daniel wanting to adopt a dog to protect him aligned with these delusions. | Many weeks before the adoption occurred, Daniel expressed his desire to adopt a dog and several other pets.

During this time, Daniel’s [[Management|manager]] was a man named [[Warren]], although 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 being in motel rooms. Additionally, Daniel was still using [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]], a video making service where people would give him money for him to make custom videos. This provided him sufficient funds to adopt a dog. | |||

On July 9th, 2023, Daniel adopted Music (formerly named Zola), a German Shepard mix, from the Longmont Humane Society, an animal shelter in Longmont, Colorado. The duration of Daniel's stay in Longmont remains unclear. Daniel's 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 really took action to prevent it. [[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. In a [[Longmont Humane Society Employee AMA|Reddit AMA]] published on July 11th, 2023 by a worker at the Longmont Humane Society, they admit that the animal shelter did not conduct any sort of background check on Daniel. | |||
The worker went on to explain that people adopting animals lying about their living conditions was common at the shelter, and many individuals of Daniel's stature passed through and were perfectly capable of caring for dogs | The worker went on to explain that people adopting animals lying about their living conditions was common at the shelter, and many individuals of Daniel's stature passed through and were perfectly capable of caring for dogs | ||

Daniel cited his reason for adopting Music as wanting her to act “as a guard dog”, believing she was trained as such and would protect him from "danger". It also must be noted that Daniel frequently misgendered the dog, referring to Zola as a male. While this may seem like a minor error, a dog's gender is very important information, especially if Zola were to receive shots or any significant medical treatment.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/k5rBVbJmEd4?feature=share</ref> This further shows Daniel's lack of understanding and preparedness in caring for a pet. | Daniel cited his reason for adopting Music as wanting her to act “as a guard dog”, believing she was trained as such and would protect him from "danger".

This is also factoring in that Daniel claimed to only give her water every 2 hours, which most likely dehydrated her, coupled with the hotness in the summer months.{{Quote|I'm heading over right now to the McDonald's and I'm going to get her some water | ||

While Daniel claimed to have had a bag of dry food for her, a likely truth since the Humane Society typically provides food for adopted animals, he also claimed that Music refused to eat it. In every video of Music that Daniel had posted, she was seen audibly whimpering with her ears down, visibly stressed. This distress was evident as Music seemed consistently anxious and unsettled. The only other 'food' Daniel claimed to get Music was a, "puppacino," which is a small cup of whipped cream. | ||

In a YouTube comment, made on July 11th, Daniel detailed the food he had given to Music, even contemplating giving Music nachos as he thought it "would help". However, nachos may contain ingredients like jalapeños and onions, which are known to be extremely harmful to dogs, and potentially fatal. | In a YouTube comment, made on July 11th, Daniel detailed the food he had given to Music, even contemplating giving Music nachos as he thought it "would help".

The fact Daniel believed whipped cream, McDonalds water, and Nachos to be appropriate pet food showed that, once again, Daniel did not need to have a dog in his possession. | |||
