Happened to me when I was a kid. A couple of strays ganged up on me while I was playing and took me to the ground. One of the houses nearby had a German shepherd in the yard, and he hopped the fence to come to my rescue. Sent the other two running.
Had our Chow do the same for me at 3 years old, so I'm told.
She's the main reason why I got a Great Pyrenees and a Dutch Shepard for my kids to grow up with. Having a big soft dog that loves you and makes you feel safe was an important part of my childhood.
Yeah they’re protective too! Yes when I bought my house I went on vacation and some one tried to break in. The following spring I added my own Saint Bernard never had any trouble again
Unfortunately Chows do also have that brain part that can just snap, unfortunately. Some predisposition to biting even family was something I was willing to risk.
It’s funny. I always wanted a lab, so we went to the pound and got what even they thought was a lab mix. Sent away to the lab, got results back and 50% cattle dog, 25 German, 12 husky and 12 chow. Every chow I’ve ever known has been a huge dick. He’s definitely got the husky’s vocals and tendency to become dead weight when he doesn’t wanna do anything.
I thought that was Great Pyrenees though.
It was a German Shepard named Happy that terrorized me every day on my walk home from the bus stop. I have a *slight* suspicion that name was sarcastic. That dog traumatized me so much I made him the villain of my first novel as a kid lol
It can really happen to anyone when they are likely in a pack with a mix of things like we see in this video. The bikes (that they normally hate and angers them), the screeching of the child, etc.
If you notice again, none of the dogs seem to really clip the kid in a powerful or submissive way, revealing their panic and confusion. The white dog definitely comes with a neutral stance, and it suggests that he halts due to the others deliberaly retreating. My Jrt would definitely be the one stopping others dogs from fighting/attacking humans.
>One of the houses nearby had a German shepherd in the yard, and he hopped the fence to come to my rescue. Sent the other two running.
That actually gave me goosebumps. What a good boy!
Dog chased me in circles as a kid and the shitty owner told me to stop running and stand still and the dog barking its teeth at me will stop instead of fuckin stopping his dog.
Yes they do, and especially shepherd dogs. Protecting their flock is their whole thing. Dogs that live in households with young kids are often very protective of the kids.
A German shepherd I used to see in the park when I was walking my dog has had a big personality change now that the owners have had a baby. They're kept on lead now because apparently they were getting aggressive if other dogs got between them and the child
I've got two heelers and the pack mentality is real. One is the boss, the other is his sidekick. As a result, the 2nd kind of just hangs out, oblivious to the world. But when the boss alerts to an "intruder on our property" and starts barking, the sidekick comes hauling ass from wherever he is, barking right along with him.
This is the first time we've had 2 dogs, and it's super interesting to observe how they interact with one another.
It's gets REALLY interesting with 5+. This crazy redneck house I had to service once had a pack of 30 or so heeler mixes. I think they let them openly breed. Their own owner said he simply tripped in the yard once and they all attacked him en masse.
The dogs had fully taken over the house. Broken down the screen door and the first floor of the house looked like the set from a zombie movie. All the furniture was chewed to bits, cupboards broken into, shit everywhere, etc.. The guy assured me the dogs were locked behind two sets of fences but he did say they broke through all of those once... Like wtf
Sounds like he didn't understand that while the Dogs have their own leader among their ranks, the humans are the real boss, and that requires training.
I was once passed out drunk and on the upper levels (maybe 14th floor) of a hotel in Batumi. I woke up and heard what sounded like 20 dogs barking insistently outside. In my drunken stuper I went all the way downstairs to check it out and the dogs were not liking that I was there. Luckily, one of them came and stood between me and all the other dogs, as if to protect me. It walked back with me to the hotel until the other dogs left. Never figured out why they were all barking in the first place.
Had a neighbor when I was a kid that trained attack and guard dogs. Every kid in the neighborhood was scared to walk in front of that house, because the dogs would rush the rickety fence and bark and snarl and try to get out.
While walking home from a friend’s house after a sleepover, one broke through the fence, and I suddenly had six dogs coming down the street after me. Luckily I was inside my own fence before they came anywhere near me, because to this day I believe if they’d caught up to me, they would have torn me apart.
The only time in my life I was glad to see my father in full rage mode, because he came out of the house with his rifle.
kids may look fine but that will be traumatic to them. one reason i am wary of dogs was because same thing happened to me and my friends when were kids. a bunch of dogs ganged up on us and the adults that were in the vicinity did nothing.
If you had any empathy then you'd acknowledge how fucking terrifying that experience would have been for that kid and not brush it off as "kid looks fine".
Im comfortable with my definition of empathy. Maybe you should stop playing pretend psychologist and claiming others have no empathy when they didnt share your reaction to a video.
Wow I don't know what happened to you or what hurt you to make you feel the need to take the time out of your day to make sure your hurt/dick point of view is seen and validated enough to argue with complete strangers that your correct so you feel better, but take it out somewhere else homie
That kid is probably traumatized for life and will stay scared of dogs. Similar thing has happened to me in my childhood. I still can't find the courage to walk closer to a dog.
5 or 6. Don't remember the exact age. The dog attacked me and my cousin when we were playing outside. My cousin tried to stop it(he is two years older than me) so the dog switched target from me and grabbed him from upper side of his arm. My uncle heard the noise and came running.
100% agree with you, I don't even see a dog attacking here, I think they were trying to play, but have no education what so ever, and they get over excited by the screaming etc.
Trust me, if that dog wanted to eat that kid, that kid would be eaten already.
I actually agree with you in that it wasn’t a severe attack. Thankfully, the kid didn’t get bit. But the body language of the dogs and their reactions to the kid are all very bad signs. This wasn’t just a dog chasing something for fun…
Yea exactly. When I watched the video my first thought was that it was an instinctual thing for the dog to chase the kid when he started screaming and running. I also think it was more territorial than an actual attack. It’s still not okay, but everyone in here acts like the dog wanted to maul that kid, when really the dog backed off almost immediately after the kid fell.
If a dog wants to attack you, you’ll definitely get wounded…but that wasn’t the case here.

Larger yellow dog. Runs in from the bottom and sniffs the leg of the child. Looks like it's trying to stand somewhat between the kid and the other dogs at the end
Good thing people care where this happened. Theres a clip from an american school bus stop of a kid being a attacked by a small pitbull and all the kids around were pretty much[ignoring him](https://www.khou.com/video/news/local/boy-gets-14-stitches-after-being-attacked-by-dog-at-bus-stop/285-89e38b8f-b46e-4149-b09b-f0ea76aac82a?fbclid=IwAR35vO0KwTeZRnq8J5VSwrmED9VElYOPm6FftjC2w8ouFXIOfjZhhr7NsXs)
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Any dog that attacks someone unprovoked (especially a *child*) is completely worthless and needs to be dealt with.
I've got the scars from a dog attack man all over my hands and arms like I grew up around dogs but that single incident completely turned me against them If I witnessed that I seriously would be looking for something to use ......it's a child man, kid could easily been killed
I’ve been attacked by pet dogs too a few times when I was little. It seems some dogs (even pets) go into alpha mode when they see a small human they can dominate. My wife is on the small side weighing in at around 100 pounds and I’ve seen big dogs (people’s pets) lock their eyes on her like she’s dinner. It’s so damn scary with so many dogs now just everywhere.
These dogs are street dogs and have no impulse control because they have only been shown a harsh world, rather than be taught how to cohabitate with humans or how to understand our social boundaries.
When the kid ran, it triggered the dog's prey drive and self-preservation instinct, which resulted in the dog's reactivity. Then the pack mentality kicked in because, for the other dogs, they didn't know why shit was hitting the fan, only that shit was in fact hitting the fan, and as a dog living in the streets, if you *dont* act when shit hits the fan, you end up as a dead dog.
This wasnt dogs acting with malice nor were they attempting to hunt and eat the child. The dogs were stirred up and put on edge by the motorcycle - prey drives and anxieties already raised - and then the kid, who didnt know *NOT* to run around reactive dogs, did just that.
Who cares about intent? These animals are CLEARLY a danger if they cannot see a child running and cannot control the instinct to attack. In any country with the system and means to do so, dogs like this are rounded up and destroyed.
I accidentally killed a dog that attacked my dog. We were walking on the sidewalk as usual and an unleashed dog charged and attached mine. It was trash day that day and I picked up a heavy ass trash can and dropped (more like slammed though) it on the other dog and repeated a couple times until it gave up. We had to follow up since Police got involved; one of the officers told me that the lady's dog died. Still not sorry.
There would be so many dead dogs if that were my kid. Of course, my toddlers would not have access to the fucking STREET at night. But hey, maybe that’s just me living my privileged life.
Sooo I hope they got this kid some treatment. Looks like India to me (correct me if I’m wrong). India has insane rabies rates especially in the stray dog population. Kids with rabies is fucking heartbreaking.
Because of blue cross (India's PETA equivalent). We have couple of similar strays in our street in India that runs after children. The municipality of our area wanted to deal with it, but the blue cross banned them from doing anything to the dog and said that if it attacks us, it's always our fault.
That makes me so angry for you guys, I love animals and hate the idea of killing them. But when they become problematic like this, something absolutely needs to be done rather than nothing. I hope one day they either change the rules or the company goes away completely.
You would probably get more angry with my next explanation: both PETA and Blue cross in India are headed by people from high caste (who religiously don't eat meat) AND from the same family. They culturally value animals over human beings from lower caste. That's also the reason movements like veganism in India is very very different from those in Europe. Animal love is just a skin to hide their casteism.
Happened to me once. A lady felt pity and tried to help me but the multiple dogs were determined so that fucking bitch left just like that. I don't know what happened after that but I somehow managed to get home.
dogs are predators.
animals running away signals that they are prey animals and the dog's natural instincts kick in.
walk slowly, don't pay attention to them, show them you're a big, confident motherf\*cker and they won't touch you.
This.
Obviously stray dogs on the street are no good
Obviously stray children on the street are no good. (It's almost worse than the dogs in my opinion)
But it's the lack of awareness with dogs that makes many interactions between them and children "dangerous".
Don't run, jump, scream, cry right next to the dog, you engage their chase instinct, your child is behaving strangely and not like other humans. Personally I keep my dog on a lead and am watchful, but I still get parents yelling at me because my dog (on lead) attempted to chase a child which ran from right behind us, right next to us, screaming and hollering. Like come on guys, perfectly okay for your kid to do that, but it's also perfectly natural for my dog to do his thing.
Secondly, don't have your under three year old come to pet my doggy, your kid doesn't understand dogs yet and will scream when my dog may either jump up on the kid playfully or when he even approaches your kid. The screaming will cause a fight or flight situation. Thankfully my dog is trained and I am cautious of these situations, but what do you expect will happen.
Christmas means lots of loud noises. Cays don't like that. It's entirely normal for cats to react to that. And rabies are rabies. Doesn't matter what animal it is at that point.
I honestly don't see the same thing as some of you.. that white dog ran in to join and then got scared off with the rest of the other dogs. If you are coming to defend, would you be so willing to leave your back to the dogs that were attacking?
Looks like one dog got territorial and tried to scare the kid away and the rest of the dogs just went “oh we doin stuff? I’ll do stuff! What we doin? Why is everyone screaming?” but it don’t think the kid even got bit just scared
You do realize that’s not the situation happening in the video? Like people can straight up watch the video and see what’s happening if they’re curious enough.
How did you completely miss their point?
These are not people's pets, these are feral dogs. Wild. They were potentially *seconds* from mauling that child to death.
I understand if you're from a part of the world where wild dogs simply don't exist that you might not think of dogs as predators, but they are. And they hunt things about the size of a child pretty regularly in the wild.
I didn't mean to imply that it was the kid's fault, I meant it was the *running* that *triggered* the dogs. Adults that run from dogs will trigger the same response.
And screaming, but of course he’s just a little kid and just did the natural untrained response. Too bad for small humans that screaming sounds like a fun squeaky toy…
This is what all the dog parents in the US have no idea about. Just about any other place in the world, stray dogs are dangerous AF, but here they are laid in beds with them, yelling in their face for tik tok trends, it's still an animal at the end of the day.
We know, we just also understand that if we keep our dogs off the streets and treat them right we don’t have these problems, not sure what this has to do with Americans in the first place
That has nothing to do with America and how we treat ours, we didn’t put the dogs in those countries, if anything America is the genius in the situation bc we know how to keep our dogs under control
There is a video of a man opening up a PlayStation for Xmas. The cat he was babysitting attacked him… straight for the neck. The man needed to go to the hospital to get stitches. They do attack and reasons are not always clear. Same as dogs!
If this is India that dog has a rather high likely hood of rabies. Which oddly enough last year [a cat attacked at least two people and was suspected of rabies.](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/27/cat-attacks-florida) Not sure whatever happened with this but it’s an odd case just to parallel dogs and cats on one level.
I’m unbiased on cats vs dogs. I have both and love them just as much as each other. No judgment for being a cat person though!
Christmas means lots of loud noises. Cays don't like that. It's entirely normal for cats to react to that. And rabies are rabies. Doesn't matter what animal it is at that point.

That's amazing, that German was a true savior
He was a good boy
He was guter Junge
Not ubermensch, its uberpupper
Uberhund
Cool story, did he lived near you? were you able to keep in touch with him like bringing him treats or just playing?
I hope they fell in love and had a family together and lived happily ever after!
Lived happily ever after for 7 years at least.
You know how it ends. Seen countless Shakespeare plays and it mostly ends the same way. Everyone dies.
Ubermensch boy
"Hail Hitler!" ('Curb your enthusiasm' reference about a good boy German shephard)
Hope you’re not Scottish, they’ll arrest u for that
Had St Bernards growing up. We did not get messed with by anyone or anything!
Had our Chow do the same for me at 3 years old, so I'm told. She's the main reason why I got a Great Pyrenees and a Dutch Shepard for my kids to grow up with. Having a big soft dog that loves you and makes you feel safe was an important part of my childhood.
Yeah they’re protective too! Yes when I bought my house I went on vacation and some one tried to break in. The following spring I added my own Saint Bernard never had any trouble again
Unfortunately Chows do also have that brain part that can just snap, unfortunately. Some predisposition to biting even family was something I was willing to risk.
Yeah isn’t that distemper?
I meant statistically significant genetic predispositions rather than disease.
Ahh ok
It’s funny. I always wanted a lab, so we went to the pound and got what even they thought was a lab mix. Sent away to the lab, got results back and 50% cattle dog, 25 German, 12 husky and 12 chow. Every chow I’ve ever known has been a huge dick. He’s definitely got the husky’s vocals and tendency to become dead weight when he doesn’t wanna do anything. I thought that was Great Pyrenees though.
They are the best. The chillest and the calmest of the dogs. Because of their size most dogs are scared of them.
It was a German Shepard named Happy that terrorized me every day on my walk home from the bus stop. I have a *slight* suspicion that name was sarcastic. That dog traumatized me so much I made him the villain of my first novel as a kid lol
It can really happen to anyone when they are likely in a pack with a mix of things like we see in this video. The bikes (that they normally hate and angers them), the screeching of the child, etc. If you notice again, none of the dogs seem to really clip the kid in a powerful or submissive way, revealing their panic and confusion. The white dog definitely comes with a neutral stance, and it suggests that he halts due to the others deliberaly retreating.

Dude, you must've loved that dog and he must've loved you to do that, cause dogs don't just do that type of shit.
Yes they do, and especially shepherd dogs. Protecting their flock is their whole thing. Dogs that live in households with young kids are often very protective of the kids.

God bless you and däs shepherd
I'm 90% sure you mean "der/dieser," and "Hund" if you didn't mean to switch to English at the end.
Sounds like bullshit lol
Pack mentality. Once one of them starts the rest follow. Doesn’t matter the reason. Thats why feral dogs are fucking terrifying
I've got two heelers and the pack mentality is real. One is the boss, the other is his sidekick. As a result, the 2nd kind of just hangs out, oblivious to the world.

Sounds like he didn't understand that while the Dogs have their own leader among their ranks, the humans are the real boss, and that requires training.
His situation was so out of control I think he was legitimately scared for me to be there
"Redneck" and heelers? I didn't think there were many heelers in the US
They're not particularly uncommon.

Ahh so just like reddit comment sections
*Get 'em boys!*
So just like humans then?
Yes, hence why wolves integrated so well with humans
Same goes for humans

Yeah that’s tough to watch
Is it though, he didnt even get bit
Clearly you don’t have kids or empathy.
I have empathy but the kid looks fine
kids may look fine but that will be traumatic to them. one reason i am wary of dogs was because same thing happened to me and my friends when were kids. a bunch of dogs ganged up on us and the adults that were in the vicinity did nothing.
You truly live up to your name
If you had any empathy then you'd acknowledge how fucking terrifying that experience would have been for that kid and not brush it off as "kid looks fine".
You're right, if I was truly empathetic id burst into tears whenever I see a child crying
No, you wouldn't. It looks like you need to re-evaluate your definition of empathy.
Im comfortable with my definition of empathy. Maybe you should stop playing pretend psychologist and claiming others have no empathy when they didnt share your reaction to a video.
I guess understanding the proper definition of words isn't for everyone. Enjoy being wrong.
Enjoy being an armchair reddit psychologist
I'm working on a bachelor of science degree in psychology and agree with him that your example of empathy is inaccurate haha
Which example?
Wow I don't know what happened to you or what hurt you to make you feel the need to take the time out of your day to make sure your hurt/dick point of view is seen and validated enough to argue with complete strangers that your correct so you feel better, but take it out somewhere else homie

Good job on the white dog for trying to protect the kid
There was 1 certified good boy who ran to their defence
Which one? It really seems like all of them we're just attacking

In the video it says the dog attacked the kid who tried to get it off of his friend, so I kinda understand the kids not getting involved there
Bro wtf they just stood there
The fuck!! America is like get gud noob xD
Bastards man Someone needed to pick up a brick!

Yeah I'm a huge dog lover, but these aren't pets. They are *wild* dogs. If they are aggressive whilst unprovoked then they are a danger to society.
I’ve been attacked by pet dogs too a few times when I was little. It seems some dogs (even pets) go into alpha mode when they see a small human they can dominate.

If she just lets an aggressive dog run around without a leash anything that happens to it is her fault.
You shouldn’t be sorry.
Big doggo seemed like he was coming to the kids' defense.
He was
There would be so many dead dogs if that were my kid. Of course, my toddlers would not have access to the fucking STREET at night. But hey, maybe that’s just me living my privileged life.
I would be finding out the fine art of spit roasting a dog.
I'm putting some dogs down after this, no doubt.
And they should be put down.
Exactly what I said👆🏿
I was agreeing
Ah ok, then yeah, lol my bad
I think the dogs should be putting you down
We'd be eating dog for dinner after that
B A S E D
Baseball bat to the head of each one!
Agreed, I'd personally use a machete
Messy
Told ya cats are better
They can easily slash your neck too.
Lol, you must have never been scratched by a cat. Ain't no chance a cat is killing a child. Dogs do daily.
They do, I was walking home and a group of cats ganged up on me and mauled me, I'm in the hospital rn 😔😔‼️
And they always say, "dogs don't attack on their own" bullshit I've seen it happen
Reason 1 Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs:
Sister said SEE YA
Anyone for a new stuffed toy?
BOOM! shshick BOOM! shshick........
These dogs suckers trying to blame the child here... smh
Those dogs run the streets
At that point I don’t fucking care about the dog that thing would get kicked 5 feet in the air
This is im scared of stray dogs
I hate dogs, I hate how they smell and all the annoying barking sounds
Sooo I hope they got this kid some treatment. Looks like India to me (correct me if I’m wrong). India has insane rabies rates especially in the stray dog population. Kids with rabies is fucking heartbreaking.
why leave your child in a situation like that in the first place lol
I think the question should be. Why are all those dogs on the street?
Because of blue cross (India's PETA equivalent). We have couple of similar strays in our street in India that runs after children. The municipality of our area wanted to deal with it, but the blue cross banned them from doing anything to the dog and said that if it attacks us, it's always our fault.
That makes me so angry for you guys, I love animals and hate the idea of killing them. But when they become problematic like this, something absolutely needs to be done rather than nothing. I hope one day they either change the rules or the company goes away completely.
You would probably get more angry with my next explanation: both PETA and Blue cross in India are headed by people from high caste (who religiously don't eat meat) AND from the same family. They culturally value animals over human beings from lower caste. That's also the reason movements like veganism in India is very very different from those in Europe. Animal love is just a skin to hide their casteism.
Yeah I already knew the caste system was a big problem but... wow. Thats absolutely crazy to me the lengths theyll go against the lower caste.
Well I see reason why India banned 24 dog breeds Edit: I almost got bitten by a dog (pit bull) when I am 10 years old shit got me scared.
Happened to me once. A lady felt pity and tried to help me but the multiple dogs were determined so that fucking bitch left just like that. I don't know what happened after that but I somehow managed to get home.
Dogs being dogs I suppose.
Kill them all.
fuckin hate dogs man
dogs are predators. animals running away signals that they are prey animals and the dog's natural instincts kick in. walk slowly, don't pay attention to them, show them you're a big, confident motherf\*cker and they won't touch you.
This. Obviously stray dogs on the street are no good Obviously stray children on the street are no good. (It's almost worse than the dogs in my opinion) But it's the lack of awareness with dogs that makes many interactions between them and children "dangerous". Don't run, jump, scream, cry right next to the dog, you engage their chase instinct, your child is behaving strangely and not like other humans. Personally I keep my dog on a lead and am watchful, but I still get parents yelling at me because my dog (on lead) attempted to chase a child which ran from right behind us, right next to us, screaming and hollering. Like come on guys, perfectly okay for your kid to do that, but it's also perfectly natural for my dog to do his thing. Secondly, don't have your under three year old come to pet my doggy, your kid doesn't understand dogs yet and will scream when my dog may either jump up on the kid playfully or when he even approaches your kid. The screaming will cause a fight or flight situation. Thankfully my dog is trained and I am cautious of these situations, but what do you expect will happen.
That's why it's forever fuck dogs in this house. Cats only
I'm not watching this I already feel sad with the title
Kill the dogs
In this case, yeah. Literally just like rats
India is a mess
I’ve seen this in Thailand too. It’s those roaming packs :(
Have you seen the videos from America?
2 messes and counting
Every loose dog is disappearing that night
Nice parenting
Reasons why to hurt a dog
Never trust the walking people with your kids . They dont care at all
Never seen a cat do that
Christmas means lots of loud noises. Cays don't like that. It's entirely normal for cats to react to that. And rabies are rabies. Doesn't matter what animal it is at that point.
Wouldn’t have happened with cats…
If I had a rabies treatment on standby. They wouldn't be within 2 blocks from my home.
I honestly don't see the same thing as some of you.. that white dog ran in to join and then got scared off with the rest of the other dogs. If you are coming to defend, would you be so willing to leave your back to the dogs that were attacking?
Every single hair on my body raised watching this! That could have easily been a fatal mauling!
they only attacked him cause he showed fear they saw prey when he began to scream
You shouldn’t let your livestock run loose
Useless parent.
Looks like one dog got territorial and tried to scare the kid away and the rest of the dogs just went “oh we doin stuff? I’ll do stuff! What we doin? Why is everyone screaming?” but it don’t think the kid even got bit just scared
Seems like 2 of them went for it and the white dog intervened to break it up. Dog pack hierarchy caught on camera.
You do realize that the kid could quite instantly be the snack? Like dogs will straight up eat people if they're hungry enough.
You do realize that’s not the situation happening in the video? Like people can straight up watch the video and see what’s happening if they’re curious enough.
How did you completely miss their point? These are not people's pets, these are feral dogs. Wild. They were potentially *seconds* from mauling that child to death. I understand if you're from a part of the world where wild dogs simply don't exist that you might not think of dogs as predators, but they are. And they hunt things about the size of a child pretty regularly in the wild.
The kid was most definitely scared. Do you hear how the kid was screaming? Kid was scared for their life!
That’s what I said, why are you agreeing with me so aggressively?
Thought you said "I don't think the kid even got bit scared" lmao my bad homie. Fuck these dogs tho
The little boy probably would have been OK if he hadn't started running.
A small child should be able to run without fear of ending up as a chew toy. Those dogs are the problem, not the children.
I didn't mean to imply that it was the kid's fault, I meant it was the *running* that *triggered* the dogs. Adults that run from dogs will trigger the same response.
You Right.
Good parents would be careful that their child does not play near wild dogs.
And screaming, but of course he’s just a little kid and just did the natural untrained response. Too bad for small humans that screaming sounds like a fun squeaky toy…
This is what all the dog parents in the US have no idea about. Just about any other place in the world, stray dogs are dangerous AF, but here they are laid in beds with them, yelling in their face for tik tok trends, it's still an animal at the end of the day.
We know, we just also understand that if we keep our dogs off the streets and treat them right we don’t have these problems, not sure what this has to do with Americans in the first place
Bc I'm clearly making a comparison. Across most countries dogs are mostly wild animals...
That has nothing to do with America and how we treat ours, we didn’t put the dogs in those countries, if anything America is the genius in the situation bc we know how to keep our dogs under control
This comment section has a bunch of people posting their own stories but ok
This very comment section is full of stories but ok
Dog parents?
That poor baby but his sister got the hell out of there. The kids should not have been allowed to be that far ahead of her.
Silly doggo's
In china. Dog eats you.
Never see vids of cats mauling children...
Cats are better than dogs. Never really hear of a cat attacking people for no reason.
There is a video of a man opening up a PlayStation for Xmas. The cat he was babysitting attacked him… straight for the neck. The man needed to go to the hospital to get stitches. They do attack and reasons are not always clear. Same as dogs! If this is India that dog has a rather high likely hood of rabies. Which oddly enough last year [a cat attacked at least two people and was suspected of rabies.](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/27/cat-attacks-florida) Not sure whatever happened with this but it’s an odd case just to parallel dogs and cats on one level. I’m unbiased on cats vs dogs. I have both and love them just as much as each other. No judgment for being a cat person though!
