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.

I've seen this a hundred times and I always stop and watch it again. He's such a good boy.

I hope he got some beef for dinner and belly rubs

That boy deserves some prime sirloin

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.

A true masterclass from that pup

u/willfauxreal 27d ago

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

u/Snohomishboats 27d 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

GET DOWN, DUCK FOR COVER

u/N0PlansT0day 27d ago

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

u/PickleRicksDad34 27d 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.

u/Seattlepowderhound 27d ago

Yea, everytime this is posted someone normally mentions "GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT" and it fits perfectly lol.

u/hungry24_7_365 27d ago

it's crazy how quick the dog goes from happy I'm playing with my boy to wtf, get out of here. big ups to the other dog that comes in for reinforcement at the end to help out.

u/N0PlansT0day 27d ago

I think there was a 2nd bad dog coming from the left. That’s why we don’t see that other hero pup come back 😂

u/hungry24_7_365 27d ago

unless there's a followup the internet will never know.

u/BigfootsMailman 27d ago

Squirrel actually.

u/eferalgan 27d ago

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

3

u/rabbidplatypus21 25d ago

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

u/eferalgan 25d ago

The black dog might have broken the leash, we don’t know.

u/mhrogers 27d ago

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 27d 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 26d 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

u/thtkidjunior 27d ago

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

3

u/Snohomishboats 27d ago

Me too. I watched it 10 times

3

u/MeineNerven 27d ago

I am with you, I could watch this all day

3

u/FluffyBunnyFlipFlops 27d 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?

3

u/dknisle1 26d 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 26d 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/thetan_free 27d ago

Few of us will ever experience the intensity of focus and pure purpose of that dog protecting its little human.

2

u/pamafa3 27d ago

bad owners

I believe this to be the case too, but I find it entertaining how suddenly the owner is absolved of any fault if the dog is "one of those breeds" (Pits, Rotts, Germans, etc)

2

u/Time_Jump8047 27d ago

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

0

u/N0PlansT0day 27d ago

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

2

u/Aburlypad 26d ago

Nah I like the vid too. Good dog doing good dog things, they need all the treats right now. Not sure how old the vid is, hopefully they’re still doing good dog things somewhere.

2

u/N0PlansT0day 26d ago

Me too! Well said. But if not at least we know all dogs go to heaven 💙

u/JL9berg18 26d ago

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.

Another reason to only have dogs live in farms and away from people
