The repercussions of ICE are causing deep harm to beloved family pets. Meet Eclipse, a well cared for pup who was left without a home after his family was deported by ICE. @embracingecho shares his story @codeofruben
my good friend (and awesome director) Miles! “Under the Lights” is such a huge film and now movie for the epileptic community. Today I went to an event in Arizona with the Epilepsy Foundation and was able to support Miles journey as a filmmaker and director — mostly just a genuinely good person and someone I’m happy to call a friend
Halston is autistic and has always struggled with intense environments and loud metal sounds (like on rollercoasters or kid rides with metal sounds). However, she tends to feel safer with the dogs. We’ve all been through so much and these moments together mean the world. 🥺
🎢✨ When the real rides are off-limits, creativity takes the wheel. Our family built a magical, accessible roller coaster experience right at home. ❤️🎉

We never expected a new family member so soon — but after hearing his story and how his entire family was deported leaving him stray for 3 days, we knew he belonged with us. The fear of deportation has carved deep wounds in our community; we’ve watched people wait decades, face sudden removals, and suffer in detention. Still, these neighbors are the hands and hearts that care for us every day — our nurses, cooks, babysitters, mail carriers — and we see the good they bring.
We don’t know exactly how his family was taken, but we see the loneliness it left behind. I hope they see this and know he’s safe and loved.
After he came into our home, I knew exactly why he was here. Not only does he balance the other dogs in our family so well, but he reminds me to appreciate what I have.
I expected to have a well bred puppy next but life has a way of giving you what you need.
And as to his name:
🐾We created a voice that carried and rippled with a special boy named “Echo.”
🐾gained strength and resilience; climbing what felt like the tallest mountain of illness and trauma with a boy named “Everest.”
🐾And now that we are at the top of this mountain, we can take a deep breath, transition into a new cycle of life, unity, and balance while watching the most amazing boy “Eclipse.”
Welcome to our forever home, Eclipse. We already love you so, so much. 🌑
