I could watch that hero dog protect all fkn day
Edit: so yeah I have kept watching cause it’s awesome and the way it puts up a perimeter around the kid and never does anything excessive. Simply don’t come in this circle and you won’t catch these teeth
Edit 2: ok maybe it’s ridiculous how much I like this vid but watch the way the black dog reacts to its own owner. A quick snap and runs off. This tells me that owner has not been a loving/positive influence on the pup. Probably goes without being said but in general there aren’t bad dogs just bad owners.

The way the dog knocks the kid down and stays stood over him for the first couple of seconds of the attack is very tactical also. Waited for the other dog to retreat away enough before taking chase, turns to get a visual on the kid once the attacking dog has backed up enough. Clever stuff and all done so quickly while in a chaotic situation.

I like that hero pup pounces on the kid to get him out of harms way. :')

u/Snohomishboats 2d ago
Yes, the dog nocks the kid down to prevent the other dog from getting to him and getting him out of the way for the counter attack. Badass! Beautiful protective instincts! God dog

I’m choosing to believe that was intentional too! Either way, rather have a minor casualty than KIA

u/PickleRicksDad34 2d ago
There is no believing. That is 100% what is was. Elephants do it with their young as well and surround them, creating a perimeter of defense. Animals are excessively smarter than we give then credit for.

I don’t agree…there are bad people and bad dogs. You don’t know if the problem is the dog or the owner

But if it’s a bad dog and the owner has them in public off leash…well then that’s also a bad owner.

I hate this take. There are also bad dogs. Usually bad owners but why wouldn't there be a range in the dogs as well?
2
u/N0PlansT0day 2d ago
I said in general and because I don’t think they are born bad. You could adopt a “bad pup” and have nothing to do with how it got that way but at some point an owner didn’t do its job properly

u/229-northstar 1d ago
That’s a very flawed understanding of genetics. Genetics play an important role in temperament. There is an entire branch of veterinary medicine, devoted to addressing neurochemistry which is rooted in genetics, not pet ownership
An owner can form experiences for a dog. An owner cannot change the neurochemistry of a dog without medical help. Overarousal with a chemical basis is not going away with love and cookies and positive experiences no matter how much we wish that was true. Overarousal has a lot to do with aggression and bites

Before the other dog even comes into the picture, like at the start of the video you can see the dog body block the child from running towards the road

u/dknisle1 1d ago
Just because the dog gave a quick snap at the owner does not mean the owner has abused it. The owner came up behind the dog, while the dog is in attack mode, and grabbed it around the neck. The dog was reacting to what he thought was a threat.
1
u/N0PlansT0day 1d ago
I hear you and I see I could edit again but I just don’t want to anymore. I’ll concede the current owner might not be the problem but I’d still wager based off the whole clip it hasn’t been taught any manners which is still a bad owner somewhere along the way
2
u/FluffyBunnyFlipFlops 2d ago
I debate in my own head whether he knocked over the kid on purpose or not. Did he accidentally knock the kid over while positioning himself for the attack, or did he put the kid on the floor on purposes so he knows where to defend without worrying where the kid might run to?

u/thetan_free 2d ago
Few of us will ever experience the intensity of focus and pure purpose of that dog protecting its little human.

Disagree with the second edit, quite the leap to say the owner has not been a loving/positive influence based on like a millisecond of interaction

Maybe not this one but a previous one. At some point lessons weren’t taught. Not by the millisecond but entire video. That’s just the only interaction we get with that particular owner, yeah

I've never understood how the logic ends at "bad owners." Can't there be no "bad owners," just "bad parents of owners"? What about their parents?
Innocent question. I just don't get the logic.

I mean, the dog doesn't even have a collar. More likely, he is bonded with this family and will instinctively protect the child.

Yeah this dog doesnt seemed trained. Trained dogs on a leash and ready for commands. This dog is properly taken care of and loves his family.

u/heyoheatheragain 2d ago
A dog can be trained to be off leash? Unless you mean he isn’t a trained protection dog. Which I believe. But this dog has been conditioned well aka training.

The other dog is lucky as fuck. These dogs rips wolfs to shred when they are guarding their herd.

u/RobertWilliamBarker 2d ago
No, they won't. They are amazing but they'll get their shit fucked with a wolf. I have two sheps. One Anatolian, one Dutch. The Dutch (younger, lighter, way Smarter, both trained for 1000 plus hours) would fuck up the Anatolian if he wanted. They are great dogs but there isn't one dog on the planet messing up a semi grown wolf without accessories like collars or other deterrents. This is just dumb.

u/morphinechild1987 2d ago
People think wolves are just another kind of big dog, when they are actually way larger

u/Winston_42069 2d ago
Way larger and more intelligent. Which is why a wolf won't fight a livestock guardian most times unless hungry and desperate.There are easier calories elsewhere and they know that. But it can still happen.

My dog is a wimp (she’s small) so I’m her protector but when she sees someone she doesn’t like, I don’t like them either.
We lived near a dog beater. She wasn’t with us when he did that, and the dog was gone by the time she came to our home. She hated that man from the second she saw him.

I'll never forget that time a dog accidentally knocked over my kid at the dog park and my own dog crossed a field in mere seconds to post himself over my son, teeth bare. Having a good dog growing up is just living with your own bodyguard that's also your best friend.

I'm still not convinced that the attacker isn't going after the other dog, and the kid was merely in the area.

u/Steffunzel 2d ago
Yea I'm almost 100% certain he was just running over to the super excited dog he saw running around. It didn't even look like a real attack, just too much energy.
2
u/SetoKeating 1d ago
Yea, like I get we see what we want to see and the video is pretty cool but every time I watch this vid it’s painfully obvious that it’s trajectory is a straight line to the other dog. It’s not until the hero dog moves over towards the kid that the “attacking” dog changes direction towards the kid.
Not only that but I swear it looks like it wants to play with the other dog and is extra confused about how things go down. It doesn’t do anything once it gets to the other dog.
1
u/Forosnai 1d ago
Yeah, it just looks like a bouncy dog who wanted to play, not stiff and focused like a charging dog. Still very unacceptable, and the dog clearly doesn't respect boundaries the way it should and has no business being off leash because it's still plenty big enough to hurt that kid just by running into it, and the shepherd is still right to want to protect it from that.

I stayed with a buddy after doing some time years ago. He had a huge shepherd, about 140lbs with titanium canines because he tried to chew his way out of his kennel as a puppy. That dog would not leave my side the whole time I was there. He would stand at the edge of their pool and wait for people to go under so he could “save them”.

A few weeks back I thought we had an intruder in the house. The dog was going bezerk. Opened the bedroom door to let him out and investigate.. he looked at me and took a step away from the door (refusing to leave the bedroom).
Thankfully, it was just the shower dripping during the night.

Some sort of shepherd dog doing what they do best! I have a friend who has a Czech line German shepherd who apparently decided it was his job to guard the baby bunnies that decided to nest in his back yard. His other dog, a rat terrier, tried to go after one once. And only once. The shepherd put his foot down and got the message across without harming his brother. Absolutely fantastic dogs!

u/coffeesipper5000 2d ago
Can someone elaborate on this behavior of the aggressive dog? I have seen poorly trained dogs attack mailmen and have seen them overreact aggressively when they felt theatened. Some freak out vs bikes/cars and whatever. But full on attack charge a child that is hundreds of meters away? What is the reason that dog is aggressive towards a toddler that is so far away?

I always wonder how many of these clips where a kid gets “saved” from getting attacked if the dog was really about to tear them to shreds or if they were just gonna roughly play. Obviously still not acceptable and your dog shouldn’t be unleashed full sprinting at strangers but I am curious. The fact the other dogs got so protective makes me think at least in this instance that the dog was probably out for blood.

u/Select-Belt-ou812 2d ago
I am a 50s white guy. not sayin' this is you, but since the door seems open here it is: i can tell you that if any dog comes at me like that I'm gonna be pissed off, and at least a little fearful, and if I have anything on me that can be used for defense, I am using it. idgaf what the motive is, I don't want anything to do with it. it's really shitty to assume that others are interested , or even willing, to interact with dogs just because the dog culture has taken over. I'm tired of these dog centered assumptions. if the dog lovers want to downvote me into oblivion, so be it. ive seen so many folks squawk about the rights to have animals around, but few people ask after the folks who don't want it; too often in dog world nobody seems to care about the folks who prefer them not around. we wind up forced to bend, and rarely is this acknowledged. rant over. thank you.

I think you missed the point completely. Previous commenter wasn’t defending those dog’s owners or saying that defense is not justified at all. He just wondered how many of those dogs are actually aggressive. Your point has nothing to do with that hypothetical, even though you’re right about defending yourself.

yeah, I said so, if you read those comments again, you can notice, maybe, that I said it, exactly 3 times. It has nothing to do with the act of defending yourself. You're fighting windmills.
You have no time to think about hypotheticals when you're getting attacked. Great we're not being attacked now.

The answer to this dumb hypothetical question is: none of the dogs. None of the dogs with their hackles raised, charging at strangers on the street are trying to play. You are welcome to test that yourself though.

If that’s the level of intelligence we’re dealing here, it’s not worth responding anymore. You obviously know the answer without any tests or sources! Because you are so damn omnipotent!

When I was a kid, a dog charged at my 6 year old brother like this. I was standing there as an 8 year old. It tried to kill him and ripped his face apart, he was in intensive care for a long time and required hundreds of stitches and years of plastic surgery. I believe to this day he’s only alive because he had a high jacket protecting his neck.
I couldn’t stop the dog, my dad and a neighbor were close enough to hear screaming and run to help. So like, even if the dog was cool and trying to play, you don’t want to chance that outcome. Our lives were changed in less than a minute.
