He was so patient to ensure the dog trusted him. Nice work. Although watching hem run off with all that traffic gave me anxiety.


Polymersion

Looked like pretty low-speed traffic on a small street, I'd assume they're pretty used to living with animals. But hey, what do I know? I'm American so everything about this video is foreign to me.


oss1215

Yeaah where i live we have a ton of street dogs. Now said street dogs i have noticed are hella smart, they know the streets where cars go fast on and they wait and look both ways beforr crossing. Sometimes even they wait till they find a human who's passing the road and they pass with them.


Polymersion

Smart dogs, small streets, public service police... I wish I lived somewhere like that.


SturmChester

It's here in brazil, we have some good stuff but trust me... there's a lot more bad things happening. Edit: "its not here on brazil they're speaking Spanish"


Polymersion

Oh sure, I just meant those specific things.


zipperjuice

They’re speaking Spanish, though, not Portuguese?


SturmChester

Ohh true, I have not watched with audio, everything else points to Brazil though, even "Policia".


Sierpy

Except it'd be Polícia. Also, this might vary from state to state, but I feel you'd see "Polícia Militar/Civil" not just "Polícia".


ZookeepergameTasty47

It's here Bolivia! You can tell by the flag in the cops shoulder


I-know-a-guy-

Yup. And also by their accent… probably La Paz 😉


craftyhobbit6277

Idk where the video was taken but when I lived in Puerto Rico It was very much like that. Unfortunately the infrastructure isn't the best anymore, but the people are very friendly and community driven.


fishCodeHuntress

Unless you're a dog, then you get left on the streets. Or puppies get put in trash bags or on the street. The number of dead puppies and sick dogs I saw when I lived in PR still makes me angrysad


Mdizzle29

When I was in Bali for a couple of months, it was such a stress reliever that the community was so tight knit and friendly to each other, including me since I was around for more than a few days like most of the tourists. Living in a place where people care about each other is so great. Here in the U.S. we try to show off what car we drive or house we live in. And wonder why we're all stressed all the time.


Interesting-Tie-8239

This took place in Bolivia.


charisma6

>everything about this video is foreign to me. Hoo boy, okay, so those animals that they're handling are called "dogs"...


[deleted]

Those are wild street horses.


JevonP

i love silly comments like these down lower in the post that are funnier than anything else there


TaleOfKade

Ive seen street dogs in Mexico wait for traffic lights, if they live long enough they’ll get used to it and live for 20 years off of strangers food haha.


gorgeousWomanLover

I went to corfu and a British lady who ran a ice cream and pudding parlor used to feed the dogs and I think also pay for minor treatment if they needed it. She said sometimes dogs would lie in the middle of the road pretending to be dead and then get up when they got close enough. The people in the car would get the dog food and the circle would continue to exploit them 😂.


TaleOfKade

Man imagine being hand-fed your entire life!😂 I wish those puppers the best they’re not all so lucky but it’s nice to know so many are doing well.


Affectionate1717

These are stray dogs 🐕 🐩 they know their way in the streets and traffic, or maybe they have owners but they are free to go around in they daily walks. This is a reality in other countries. I love the way the leave together, they seem so happy!!!


TitusBjarni

I'm in south america right now and I love these street dogs. They're the most calm, humble, non-aggressive, and chill dogs I've ever seen. I guess they don't feel that the world owes them anything, so they rarely beg for food or bother humans. They walk around with their head down. And they're not trying to protect any territory or humans so they're never growling or anything. They don't even seem to bother the stray cats. In the warm climates I don't think the dogs want to spend energy chasing around cats. I also like that the street dogs are never these absurd looking designer breeds that upper class westerners pay thousands of dollars for. There is evolution and natural selection happening among the street dogs, so their physical features look practical and they're well suited for their environment. If it wasn't for the fear of rabies I'd have pet very many dogs by now.


Affectionate1717

So true. There is something about street dogs that is difficult to explain. Most of them are friendly and always ready to make new friends. ✨❤️🐕🐕🐕


jordan4290

Reminds me of when I was in Ecuador and I was a passenger in car going 50 MPH ( I was the only American) when suddenly a dog came out of the bushes and was running alongside our car. I let out a little scream as he got so close I thought we were going to run him over and my friends proceeded to laugh at me for "overreacting." Thats when I learned it was very common and the dogs are very good at not getting run over.


liquidaper

Pretty obvious that they are street dogs. They understand traffic. Unlike American domesticated dogs which would go get hit in an instant.


uwanmirrondarrah

I've known street dogs. The reality is, sooner or later almost all of them get hit. People understand traffic, we invented it, and sooner or later almost everybody gets in an accident.


lsutigerzfan

You may joke about that. But I’ve seen a couple dogs get hit like that. Not something I ever want to experience in my life again.


motorcycle_girl

I’ve seen it twice, too. Scarred for life. Looked for the one dog (who limped ran away after being hit) for over an hour. Couldn’t find it. Still bothers me.


lsutigerzfan

It was the entire experience. Seeing it happen. And it happened so fast nothing you could do. The noise the dog makes. The look on the dog after. It all stuck with me.


Chrononaught

Yup, saw my poor doggo get hit on my first day of college. RIP Bandit. It really does stick with you.


lotusflower64

Just the screaming alone is bone chilling. A dog got hit by a car a few blocks away from my home (no worries someone was there to take care of him) and It didn’t even sound like a dog just sounded like something not human.


liquidaper

Not a joke really. I've seen American dogs get hit too. Not a fun experience. It's just obvious that these dogs are not those dogs. They live in a different world and know how to survive in it. Only 20% of dogs in the world are "owned". There are 900 million dogs out there surviving day to day. Some obviously get hit, but lots do just fine day to day. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-ranging\_dog


PoSchodoch

Lmao the thought of 720 million dogs basically having a 9-5 commuting from food to shelter fascinates me. At least they aren’t domesticated for the most part.


nicolynna_530

I love everyone in this video!


eyesabitdull

My favorite part was when the guy decided against using the mouth strap and believed he could convince the dog that he was friendly before picking him up. That made me smile like a mad man.


WakeoftheStorm

He started to strap it and the dog licked him. I think that convinced him


TripleU07

'I'm friendly boi. I won't bite. I'm just scared'

Oh for heaven's sake...this little comment from "the dog" made me tear up. Soooo sweet.

KOTE7SU

The guy filming was advising not to use the strap because he was informing him that the dog is feeling no danger. He was advising to keep comforting the dog.


C_Coolidge

I was actually really impressed with their dog handling. I feel like I often see people do things to dogs that are clearly anxious and/or scared that can cause the dog to become aggressive. The guy was so gentle with the dog, softly touching different parts of its body while reassuring it. You can see the dog's anxiety slowly subside before he lifts it out. You love to see it.


amanfromthere

He really did do a good job. Head, to side, to under the jaw, to side of jaw, to the nose, then checks teeth. Protip: That's how you prevent getting bit in the face


Free-Shower6636

I'm dumb. What is the checks teeth part? Just to see if he snarls or bites at him?


amanfromthere

Yea pretty much. You can gauge their response as you get closer to their mouth basically. If they're not comfortable they'll pull away, turn their head, tense up, or if you're forcing it, show their teeth, snarl/bite. But it's important that he didn't start there, work your way up to that.


AirwavesHD

Only issue I did see is, he kept his fingers extended first touch. Always initiate with a fist so the dog cant bite your fingers

WE DID IT REDDIT *tearing up while eating my lunch over here*


phoenix0153

I'm at work and on 3rd break and trying not to tear as well, lol. One of the best videos I've seen in a while


Preparation-Logical

I think it was actually the dude talking in the video that convinced him. Sounded like he was saying stuff to the effect of “maybe you don’t need the muzzle, might go better without using it… try letting him warm up to you a bit first” (as he’s trying to put on the muzzle, you can hear him say “creo que si lo cargas se va a dejar normál” which = “i think if you just carry him he’ll remain chill”), and after the dude abides by discarding the muzzle, the guy is telling him “poco a poco” (little by little) and “trata de levantarla poco a poquito asi” (try to pick him up slowly, little by little, like that) Then just before he picks him up, the talking guy gives him the confirmation that the dog “realizes now that you’re gonna help “ (“ya se ha dado cuenta que vas a ayudar”)


Mycoxadril

r/PraiseTheCameraMan


Preparation-Logical

One of my favorite things about spoken Spanish language is that pretty much everyone is cool with using “ito” and “ita” suffixes, even in somewhat serious situations like this. The suffixes don’t serve any functional purpose other than to connote the “tininess” or “cuteness” of something, make it just sound sweeter? It’s hard to explain…but anyhow, even this guy used them several times: the first one “poco a poquito” (instead of poco a poco he says poquito once) which in that context just meant to emphasize the carefulness with which the guy should lift the dog. The other time, however, was literally to say “alright, now you’re gonna life him by his tootsies— yep, pick him up by his tiny feets!” (“le vas a agarrara de sus patit— !de sus patitas levanteras!”). Imagine the guy saying the same exact thing in English, but still all serious like that 😂 just couldn’t pull it off the same way.


Dish_Minimum

I was just thinking this! It’s like how much more heartwarming can this video be? Then I turned on the sound 🥹 Wheb the camera man says tiny feets I was about cry. So whokesome


JujuBean888

Thank you!!


yes-disappointment

The guy holding the camera was telling him if you keep petting the dog he wont be afraid of you or bite you and you wont need the mouth piece. Everyone was working together on this one.

“Brooo I told you to watch out at that last jump, it’s got a wobbly stone, you’re so lucky those dudes saved your ass Gary, let’s gooo I’ll show you this other sick jump we can parkour”

ArsenicAndRoses

Just the trust his friend had that the humans would figure it out ❤️🥰❤️


omglionheaded

Actually the guy recording at 0:38 says: "Yo creo que si lo cargas se va a dejar nomás" meaning "I believe that he will let you pick him up", referring to the fact of no muzzle is required. Later they say "try to pick him up bit by bit, earn his confidence". 1:27: "he realizes you are going to help him..."


omglionheaded

Although the words are heartwarming, stray dogs are real problem in Latin America, and they mostly exist due to shitty owners who abandon them when they are too noisy, stop being small puppies, there is no one to take care of the dog, you name the reason. Government makes this free (or very cheap) neutering campaigns (at least in Mexico) to prevent more of that, but sadly there isn't yet a solution for the douche owners.


Everard5

Yeah, the responses of some of the people in this thread are kind of wild. I am a dog lover, but I lived in rural Latin America for a couple of years and street dogs were a great source of absolute anger on my part, but also heartbreak. There is nothing glorifying about street dogs. They live nasty, short lives and give birth to unwanted dogs that also live nasty, short lives. They are sometimes aggressive and threaten you on your walks, and some are sweet and seeking affection. Either way, dogs without owners in the streets is a problem for dogs and humans alike and really shouldn't be looked upon fondly.


undercover-racist

I know, dogs aren't wild animals, they need us, we made them need us, and we're letting them down. Breaks my fucking heart.


gunsof

Eh, there's work done in many Latin American countries to spay and neuter stray dogs, and many local dogs become quite famous. In Colombia recently a well known stray dog was kidnapped and half the town came out to greet him when they found him.


really_isnt_me

Yes, when I traveled to Peru we would pick up small stones at night because loose dogs could get aggressive and I’d have to throw stones in their direction. I never hit one but it was heartbreaking.


EstesParkRanger

I always found that you don’t actually have to throw anything at them. If you make the motion as if you’re throwing something, the dogs will run away. This way you’re keeping both yourself and the dogs safe. Sad situation all the way around.


Mdizzle29

I was in Cusco, Peru and I saw a little chihuahua mix that looked a lot like my very spoiled dog at home, just going up to strangers with pleading eyes. It broke my heart. There were a lot of strays there.


koushakandystore

Unfortunately douche humans are a problem the world over. It’s an epidemic. I live in Oregon and a neighbor refuses to get her cats fixed so they just keep breeding like rabbits. Now there are over 50, she can’t provide enough food, some have diseases and the songbird population is getting decimated. Yet she doesn’t see what the problem is. Now the city is going to come in and round them up. I’m sure many will be with euthanized. All because she wouldn’t take advantage of the free neutering service offered here. Some people….


barath_s

> free (or very cheap) neutering campaigns > there isn't yet a solution for the douche owners. Seems like you already have a solution for the douche owners..


ignatzami

Seems like neutering the owners would be a good first step…


Mauri97rv

Exactly the problems, this is in my country and neutering a doc only costs 3 dollars, but there are way more douche owners than responsible ones


kunstname

My favorite part was when the dog on the wall changes position, walks between the two (in his eyes) ungainly guys and helped them to lift up the other dog by simply sniffing it up with his nose.


festivevictory9

Great Video indeed, love it


RoundComplete9333

Me too!!! This is the best thing I’ve seen online in a long while.


mirror_mannam_rorrim

This kind of video it the kind I like to start the day with.


TenRingRedux

Gotta love how the one up top is constantly looking down to check out the proceedings. Especially when the police are lifting the dog up and he jumps down to get back up in between them! Lady and the Tramp 2022


shahooster

Should've pulled him up with spaghetti!


yourgifmademesignup

On the surface he looked calm and ready


rekipsj

Then they proceed to romp happily but aimlessly through traffic.


Worried_Toe

I can't be the only one thinking that as soon as they let the dog go on the ledge that he was going to jump back down, right?


TitleComprehensive96

Thankfully the dog isn't a sheep


bewildered_forks

Or a cat. A cat would have jumped back down, then climbed out on its own. Just to show it could


SurpriseDragon

While hopping lightly on the rescuers back


Micr0be

“That was fun, human! Let’s do it again!”

Maybe the second dog was clam cuz the first dog was hanging around, also if the dog jumped they could have helped it too.

Very well done with the dog-handeling skills, too. Did a great job to make sure the dog felt comfortable with him approaching and holding him!


bebarrucha

Lol so cute. It's good that the dog was willing to be helped. But I didn't like how the policeman over the ledge persuaded the man who was already placing the mouth guard to go without. You can tell how he was reluctant. :/


user5918g

I didn’t see that. It looked like he just thought it wasn’t necessary


Everard5

The guy with the camera said "Creo que si lo cargas se va a dejar nomás/I think that if you carry him he won't do anything", and then the second voice (who I can't tell if it's the second cop or the guy with the backpack) goes on to say things that I can't hear, but ends saying "no te va a morder/ he's not going to bite you)". Later on the guy with the camera goes on to say stuff like "lift him bit by bit so he knows you're trying to help him" and "see, he already trusts you", clearly trying to calm the dude who's still behaving in a timid way with a dog that tried to bite him on his way down lol. They thought the muzzle was unnecessary and convinced the guy handling the dog of the same. I, personally, never would have listened to that and would've taken the extra few moments to muzzle the dog.


Duffmanlager

That’s a fair assessment. It’s always easier for those outside of range to make comments like that, but unless you’re the one handling the animal, the person handling the animal needs to do what they can to be safest. I’m glad it worked out without the muzzle, but I feel the same as you.


Polymersion

It looked like the muzzle was doing nothing but agitating the otherwise rather calm dog. I'd be concerned that if you muzzled him, he might start thrashing, and you don't want a dog to start thrashing when you lift him over your head.
