People seeking drug treatment can't take their pets. This Colorado group finds them temporary homes.

When Jessica Martinez struggled with addiction after the death of her husband three years ago, she felt the only connection she had left was with her dog, Little Guy — better known as L.G. 

The couple had adopted the pit bull about a week before her husband died. Even as Martinez lived out of her car, she felt she couldn't give L.G. up. When her therapist said she would likely have to surrender the animal to enter a treatment facility, she was immediately against the idea. 

"I was like, 'If you know anything about me, I don't do that,'" Martinez told CBS News. "I won't give up my dog, especially when that's the dog I had with my husband, so, no."
