Following this, multiple members of the subreddit banded together to return Music back to the Humane Society as they believed Daniel was unfit to take care of a dog due to his previous [[Incidents|outbursts]]. Many members also feared that he would potentially hurt the dog in the event of him having a [[Meltdowns|meltdown]]. | Following this, multiple members of the subreddit banded together to return Music back to the Humane Society as they believed Daniel was unfit to take care of a dog due to his previous [[Incidents|outbursts]].

This sparked immediate calls to retrieve Music and return her to the Longmont Humane Society. Despite the potential legal issues of taking the dog from him, as Daniel had adopted her fraudulently by lying about his living arrangements, this prompted immediate action. 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. | This sparked immediate calls to retrieve Music and return her to the Longmont Humane Society.

This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely. 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 confirmed by Ox, who said he had seen Animal Control conducting checks in the Longmont area upon arriving in Colorado | This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely.

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 assured the public that they were doing everything in their power to get Music away from Daniel. | Not long after, Daniel began to post more videos of Music. In these videos, she was in clear distress, looking incredibly hot and anxious, and could be heard whimpering. | ||

In the meantime, other people who were out of state or unable to reach Daniel made efforts to spread awareness of the situation. YouTubers such as [[Goated Mines]] and [[Content Creators#SmokeyMcC|SmokeyMcc]], who 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 meantime, other people who were out of state or unable to reach Daniel made efforts to spread awareness of the situation.

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.

During the live stream, Music seemed to ignore Daniel despite his repeated attempts to get her attention. Additionally, Daniel would constantly refer to Music as a "he". The dog would frequently bark at the people around Daniel, which people speculated to be a sign of stress. Daniel attributed the barking to Music’s "guard dog nature", and spoke at length about how he had gotten Music so she could act as protection for him. The stream itself was mostly uneventful as the members of Expo Productions continued to film their music video, with occasional commentary from Daniel. | During the live stream, Music seemed to ignore Daniel despite his repeated attempts to get her attention.

After the stream ended, Goated Mines would reach out to Expo Productions, asking if they knew where Daniel was, as well as expressing concern for the safety of Music. He was informed that Daniel was last seen at Union Station, and that the police were contacted about the situation. However, the validity of this claim is unclear.

As soon as Daniel was found, multiple people immediately contacted Animal Control and informed them of Daniel's location and abusive history. Animal Control said they would send someone to the area. As the live stream came to a close, Daniel announced that he was going to Starbucks. This caused Animal Control to miss their window of opportunity to intervene. | ||
Before ending the stream, Daniel mentioned that 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. Despite quickly locating the Starbucks Daniel was at, he was no longer there when they arrived. While Daniel was at Starbucks, he posted a few videos of him giving Music a heartbreakingly small amount of water in what was later discovered to be a bowl made for cats and puppies. | Before ending the stream, Daniel mentioned that he was going to go live again in around half an hour.
