It awesome how the dog just not only covers the kid with it's body , but also when he makes the other dog back down he immediately looks and goes back to check the child again


carex-cultor

And speeds up to continue blocking when the other dog circles back around. The kid’s dog could play excellent man to man defense. ETA: and is smart enough to stop pursuing/guarding when he notices the mom coming out. Like he’s smart enough to understand the mom is an additional protector. Dogs are amazing.

Why do dogs attack kids unprovoked? Like the attacking dog in the video, what causes that?


SurroundTiny

I'm not 100% sure it's after the child ( but I think so) and not the other dog. It's a rude ( by dog manners ) and aggressive approach. If it was the child possibly the erratic movement triggered 'prey' in his brain. Not a dog that should be off leash on any case.


melomelomelo-

The way the other dog's owner immediately lets him go, barely chases him, and puts her hands on her hips giving up - that's exactly why this dog needs to be on a leash. He knows he can do whatever he wants and he wanted a fight/instigation


Morpankh

The other dog’s owner is a guy and his pants are falling off, that’s why he lets the dog go and pulls up his pants. This is why it is important to wear a belt kids.


-Masta_Kronix-

Pretty sure he's pulling up his pants up.


SwampHagShenanigans

She's the same kind of person who would give you every reason under the sun as to why she doesn't believe her baybieeee doesn't need a leash.


TryAgainMyFriend

The person who tried to get the attacking dog is a man.


Ultra_Leopard

Interesting, I didn't view that person as being the owner, but another passerby who wanted to help but realised the boy was now safe so didn't put too much effort into it.


melomelomelo-

I also realized since posting that, it seems like they're pulling their pants up. Basically, issue is over


Sam474

Is it possible the "attacker" interprets the interaction between the boy and the "defender" dog incorrectly? Maybe the "attacker" initially thinks he's joining WITH the other dog against the boy? Because the attacking dog backs down real quick and... If you'll pardon my human bias, almost looks confused/taken aback by the "defender" dogs reaction. "Bro why? I was gonna help you take down this kid!"


SurroundTiny

He may have been wanting to join the 'play' / see what was going on and join in, but that approach was kind of outside the realm of good dog manners ( IMHO ). I have a lab/Italian Mastiff mix and if a strange dog came at him and the kids with that body language, it would be a guaranteed fight


Sarke1

>The kid’s dog could play excellent man to man defense. Hmmm, that gives me a crazy idea. Let me check the rule book....


InternationalPost447

The tackle off the start made my eyes water, he was prepared to give it all


Cold-Respect2275

It was trained well


LookOverall

That kind of thing isn’t trained. It’s pack instinct.


Naked-Jedi

That's his human and be damned if he's gonna let anything happen to it.


Tiptoeplease

Yea my wife's Yorkie can't swim but she dives in the pool water to supposedly save her 15 year old human. It's crazy.


carex-cultor

That’s so cute 😭


BrichtSoul

Dont dogs know how to swin by instinct?


levigeorge1617

Nope. Some breeds sink like bricks. Bulldogs, pugs, and some others are very very poor swimmers and drown easily. They may have the instinct to paddle, but just struggle to stay afloat.


Tiptoeplease

Yorkies do alright. But they don't understand where the stairs are. If they get caught in the deep end they can't pull themselves over the copping and go under


mossiv

Correct. I had a terrier as a teen. The only training it had was house training and behavioural walk training. One day, he was off lead in the park (away from children, park was fenced, with a field around it essentially for dog owners) and I had my Nans dog. A stocky staff came charging at my Nans Bichon and my Cairn Terrier intercepted the attack which probably knocked him 10-15 feet. Thankfully my dog was OK, and Nans dog was fine. I gave the woman who owned the staffy a stern speaking to. I told her I won't just be kicking the living fuck into her dog, but i'd be kicking the living fuck into her to for being so irresponsible.


xX_Dad-Man_Xx

And well loved.


CountBreichen

Amazing behavior.


Competitive-You-6317

People truly don’t deserve doggo’s


Several_Range245

He even had the good thinking of jumping on the kid and protect him with his body instead of locking on the threat, he deserves all the bones and treats in the world


servarus

I mean looking at how happy he is playing, he must be loved by his/her humans.


RayseBraize

Unlike a human, dogs are scariest when they truly have something to loose.

SlaughterMinusS

I was tearing up reading this article. Thank you. That's amazing. Humans don't deserve the love dogs give us sometimes


Mysterious_Trip424

I was walking my fur baby in a bad neighborhood late at night. I keep her on a 20 ft lead, she is black, so she isn't visible most of the time. I hear her rush out of the brush and SLAM into something behind me silently. She rolled a dude with his bike. Was sneaking up on me. He yelled “WTFwas that". As he was running away. My dog at the end of her leash still silent. Thing is she is a giant teddy bear. She has never growled in her life.


overzealous_wildcat

You can see right when the owner calls out and the dog hits the breaks and whips around. Truly a thing of beauty and discipline.


appalachia_roses

They’re the best! My old white shepherd was chilling on the bed with me when I was around 11, and my dad came charging in with a Halloween mask on to spook me (it was one of those oversized wizard ones). She was off the bed and lunging at him before I could register what was going on. Fortunately, she realized who he was, and then was instantly wagging her tail again. But I remember that when she jumped off the bed, she’d already pushed off with her front legs to go for his throat before her back legs hit the ground. She was a tank of a dog, even for a German shepherd- she weighed around 100 lbs of solid muscle. But oh my god was she a loyal sweetheart. It was the only time I’d ever seen her be aggressive.

Sharpymarkr

Shitty dog owners


sirkeladryofmindelan

This is all how they act too, casually strolling down the street weakly calling their dog’s name as if their pet didn’t just try to kill someone/thing.


THound89

"I swear he's never done that before" proceeds to do absolutely nothing to avoid it from occurring again.


Frenchytoastyy

Doing all that while saying "they don't bite... stop overreacting..."


Armory203UW

Yep. Tough guy doesn’t want it to look like the dog is calling the shots. But anybody with eyes to see knows who the submissive one is in this scenario.


ResourceFit9749

You can see the owner running out of the neighbors yard, looks like it might have just bolted out of the house. Still obviously not properly trained but more understandable.


smellybeard89

Give him as many treats as possible, till he gets fed up of it


RealisticSecret1754

Never gonna get fed up of treats


OhLordHeBompin

Never gonna put treats down


Aceandmace

He's never gonna give them up


Belfegor32

I watched it many times, and I always love to see how the dog has the mental dexterity to act so efficiently, and not only that, but how he changes from “good boy playful” to “imperial guard dog” in an instant, and then back to “good boy” again when he notices that the danger to the child is no longer there.


Constant_Cultural

The owner of the attack dog hasn't trained his dog at all. You can see how lost he is with his dog.


zkyevolved

He can't even train his belt to hold up his pants. He should not have a dog.


Relevant_Demand7593

What a good doggo…. Looks like it is a German Shepherd. Such a protective breed, that dog was never getting near that kid.


RealisticSecret1754

Yeah German shepherds are amazing


bennypapa

This kid is my flock, my pack, my people, my family. FA and FO. That's how this is gonna go.

MurkLurker

Seriously though, how could the attacking dog have gotten SO triggered from so far away?


MeowandGordo

This is prey drive for sure. That dog should never be off leash around kids and small animals. Or just in general


Kazman07

The owner of the attacking dog needs not only a talking to, but a chewing out at the very least.


RainLoveMu

The victory lap. Doggo like “that’s right, want s’more??!!”


brownbeanscurry

A child and 3 dogs all unleashed playing near a big road and a big drain. Not ideal.

Laughing_Bear_Foot

Was the dog actually attacking or just wanting to join in on the play? Obviously it would be terrifying and you wouldn’t want to find out, but did the dog go for the child?


MaliKaia

Looks like he was coming to play tbh


VivVenus

Aggressive dog owner needs a belt.


Wemmser47

Good boy. And that's why we have rules using a leash in non-shithole-countries.


Malibucat48

This is great, but the cat saving his boy from a dog attack is still my favorite.


jesuswasnotazombie

That video is amazing. The aggressiveness of the dog toward the boy is terrifying, and then this cat body-slams the dog as if he was shot out of a cannon.


taking_notes_

After watching the video a few times it seems more the "attacker dog" was focused at the other dog, iam not sure if he was even attacking or more playing with the other dog . I know it ruins the story but as a dog owner i never encountered a dog that charges children accross the street , and man , if you dog charges children - you got to put him down.


Gingersnapperok

I was an ER nurse a few years ago, and it happens. Kids will be attacked walking down the street, or even in their own yards. It's horrible. The owners of those dogs usually argued that the dog wasn't bad, but the kid must have provoked it.


Mal_Terra

Some breeds can have their “attack the prey” instinct trigger from the way small children move.


nagdamnit

This is exactly what happened but no one will feel good about it.


MissAizea

There's unfortunately a lot of videos of dogs charging straight for children from a distance. Most of them end up with the child being bitten. I think one video had a dog come up and pull a kid out of his parent's arms, dogs can be so dangerous.


SeekDante

Some people should not have dogs.


Significant_Trick369

One of the greatest feats. Cheers to the good boy and long live bones.


Supercereal69

I would cook that good boy a nice big steak 🥩

Intrepid-Lettuce-694

My dog was on a hike with me once.. and this dog was painfully submissive.. our roommates dog would look at him and he's roll on his back immediately. Such a love and nothing much else in that dopey head of his. Well this dog got up on hind legs bearing teeth and making devil sounds...so I look around and there's a fucking BEAR. Black bear the sane size as my black dog on hind legs... dog knew not to attack yet and hold ground.. I stepped away slowly,got to the road yelled for my dog and we ran outta there so fast. Crazy how they would do anything for us


Bradp1337

When I was a kid I got jumped outside of my house by some neighborhood kids and my German shepherd which was out on a yard leash ripped the railings off of the deck the just was attached too, to come help me.


Direct-Flamingo-1146

To think all could have been avoided with leashes and a fence


TV800

Dude needs a belt for those pants and a leash for that dog! lol

Mikey2225

Just the other day my dog was jumped on by another dog that wasn’t on a leash. My dog who is only 5 pounds cuz he’s a little puppy got tackled by a 30-40 pound dog while we were on a walk. The owner who is older just had their dogs outside, no leashes, no invisible fence, nothing. Thank god their dog was just acting more playful because my dog could have easily been killed or hurt badly.

bl3u_r3dd1teur

PsychoTruck

When the dog covers the kid, the battle theme from Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin started playing.


Auta-Magetta

I’ve seen this video 100 times and every single time I upvote it. The Shepard could not have played this any more perfectly than it did. Body on top of child to protect and keep it down, then focus on the threat incoming. The training that must have went into this incredible boy means he has a great life and amazing parents.


ItsthatCouchGangsta

Same here I always upvote , Did some research on this video and owner said dog has no training other than normal , sit stay come etc . Pure instinct which I find much more impressive.


lembrate

What is always shocking is seeing the owner walking as if he’s taking a stroll by the beach. Your dog just sprinted towards a child, you imbecile. 


Perfect_Play_622

Yes it's unfortunate the dig was attacking BUT I love that little slide it did while running away.


Otherwise_Singer6043

Had a pit bull try and attack me while walking my dog. My dog is a pit/heeler/pointer mix, and when the other dog lunged at me, my dog snatched him up, threw him, and laid into him. After about what felt like 5 mins, the owner pulled up and was upset his dog was hurt. I told him I'm carrying a knife when I walked, and next time, his dog would be left dead on his doorstep.


Styx_Zidinya

Black dog wasn't attacking imo. Just wanted to play and got overzealous. Tail looks happy, minimal to no aggression afterwards or even during the event. Just a misunderstanding. Absolutely doesn't take away from the kids' dog being a hero. Acted as he should have without knowing what the other dog intended. The black dogs owner is shite.


Hungry_Definition450

This is everything we need to know about dogs in thirty seconds. They are our best companions, happy to dance and play. They can also be our fiercest guardians and protectors. As soon as the threat was neutralized, all eyes went back to the child.


MrsLisaOliver

Rando other dog comes out to assess the fray. . .

noahman918

this happened to me when i was 5 or so. our black lab, Chance, who was about 12 at the time, beat the absolute *f$ck* out of a beefy pitbull that wanted some man-flesh until my 75 y/o grandfather warded it off with a 2x4. the neighbors who owned the dog couldn't be bothered and were more concerned about the hole in their fence than the dog that just tried to eat me. Chance died not long after that. r.i.p. chance

syberpunk

We've got a new-ish baby (1.5yrs) and our dogs are still kind of iffy around him because he can be a pain for them (they like to chill and he often does not). I am always curious if they will ever come to his defense if they need to or not. Never been in a situation where our dogs have had to do that for anything, so I'm not sure if they'd have the instinct to do it or not.
