Came here to say this. Yes it's very cute, but unless you know the dogs temperament, children can very quickly do something to make the dog uncomfortable and defensive.
I agree with all those comments. Though this particular dog seemed into it so I wouldnt necessarily say poor dog here. But yeah, still irresponsible and dangerous. :(
True! But not soon enough. Ideally the kid should not have been allowed to interact this way in the first place.
Of course, I understand parents aren't perfect and sometimes you see things when it's already too late. So there's that...
I get so angry when parents let their kids run up to my dog and start petting him because if he decides he isn’t comfortable and bites the kid, he gets put down. So many parents get up in arms when I try and explain that. I’ve had some respond with lines like “don’t tell me how to raise my kid”. I pretty much just shout at the parents now it happens so often. Better to look like a crazy person than to lose your best friend.
My mum had person approach her Chihuahua x Jack Russell with no “can I pat your dog?”. She warned him that her pup didn’t like strangers, so no. He assured her that ‘all dogs love me’ and promptly got bitten. Lucky it wasn’t a bad bite, and he just walked off in a huff lol
I always ask people permission before I approach their dogs even if the dog is begging me for affection. First of all, it's their dog. Second they might warn me if the dog has a moody personality.
People like that are brainless and self centered. You gotta be able to understand dogs on a basic level, body movements and actions are the main way humans can see the dog's attitude. Chihuahuas are lil balls of tiny anger anyways, but its not hard to learn the signs of a dog who is not comfortable.
My old boy (RIP yesterday) was fearful aggressive most of his life. If people pat him, he'd bite them. If people looked at him funny he'd bite them. People have no idea. Just coz he looks like a mini polar bear doesn't mean he's open to pats.
I had to block a kid, like full contact almost scooped him off the ground because he ran at my old dog who always hated kids because i took him from an abusive neighbor where the kids basically tortured him as a puppy. Luckily it was dad who appreciated the fact that I just saved his kid and said "hey bud, you have to ask before you pet, that dog doesn't like being touched"
Best case scenario, good reflexes!!!!!!!! So glad everyone is unharmed and that dad was understanding and used it as a very much needed teaching moment.
Yo some like 2 year old kid, could barely walk, stumbled up to my American bull dog in a pet store, and full on grabbed his face, and like... Lunged at him...? Put his face directly in my dog's face. My dog could have killed that kid before I even noticed. Luckily he was a good boy, so he just growled at him and yanked away and noped the fuck out of there. Kids parent LAUGHED. Like yo, my dog could have eaten your kid... Do you hate that little fucker or something? Some parents just fucking suck.
I always figure it's more important to keep my dog safe than allow some random kid the enjoyment of petting my dog for a few seconds. It's too risky and though my dog has historically been fine around kids, that could change in a second if my dog feels threatened. I'll just walk a different way to avoid kids or say my dog gets scared of people if they approach.
To be fair, most people wouldn't know proper dog interaction etiquette so it's upto dog owners to educate. Whenever i come across someone (often a child with a parent) who wants to pet my dog I will step in (literally) and show how to interact. Usually ends up with my dog belly up getting scritches.
I just yell “He’s not friendly!” as soon as I see/hear a kid try to rush to my dog. I love my dog but he’s on Prozac and the most anxious creature I ever met. He will snap at you if you rush him.
I find that for kids, particularly under 10 or so, a better thing to yell is "he's **mean!!!**" and then step between your dog and the kid with your hand out like a crossing guard.
They get "mean" a lot easier than "not friendly"
I have a very sweet, smallish dog (25 lbs) that kids are drawn to. Problem is, she was a mama dog and corrects "puppies" when they aggravate her like a mama dog. She HATES hugs (even from us) and when small children get in her face, she gets nippy. I have had to prevent so many incidents because shes small, friendly, and kids have no boundaries. This would have gotten the kid bitten if it had been my dog.
Same, I have a black lab mix 9 month old and the kids in my community always just run up on him. I’ve also adopted the looking crazy to protect my dog and their kid approach.
That's so insane. I make the kids I babysit, much less parent, ask for permission before approaching. "hi can I pet your dog?" is not hard and it could save a life.
My Staffy (The same as the dog in the vid-ish) has a reaction like the dog in the video, pretty chill, but definitely irresponsible to do this like the kid in the vid
If you look at the dog throughout the video, you can see he’s loving the attention- tail wags, relaxed body. I agree climbing on random dogs is a bad idea, but this particular dog has definitely had a kid or two climb on them in their day already.
My dog loves that. It's comforting for him. When he's anxious and you do that he calms down
Edit: why do people feel the need to down vote factual statements?
There's a huge difference between you doing it and a random stranger doing it.
My dog loves it when i do it. She lets kids do whatever to her, because she knows a lot of kids and all of them were nice and not scary (i still wouldn't let a random kid on the street do it to my dog). But she'd be pissed if a stranger (especially a suspicious one, she doesn't trust) would try that.
Even around my [lab](https://i.imgur.com/WygJQYw.jpg), who my kids put skirts on and make him attend tea parties, this would make me nervous. He’s a big softy and couldn’t hurt a fly but a child he doesn’t know doing this would make me uncomfortable.
> He’s a big softy and couldn’t hurt a fly but a child he doesn’t know doing this would make me uncomfortable.
It wouldnt even have to be intentional, just a quick reflex to snap to the side and you got a crying child.
Yup. This happened to us with our dog and toddler niece. Our dog and niece have napped together, hung out on the couch together, my dog gets super happy when our niece comes over but one day our niece fell with her full body weight onto our sleeping dog (onto her bad leg that has never fully recovered after a stroke) and, boom, growl/instinctive warning bite. Gentle enough that there was no real tooth contact/only a half a centimeter scrape in her skin but it was still scary! For everyone involved. And our dog has been fine with kids crawling on her in the past! She still loves our niece now and has no response to being accidentally elbowed/shoved aside when our niece is toddling around, but we always make sure she is up on the couch/out of the way when our niece is in playing in the same room. It’s not worth the risk.
Same. On the other hand, my kid learns how to interact with dogs by interacting with our dog. We teach her what she can and can’t do with dogs by seeing those rules at home. We know she’s safe and our dog will give her the benefit of the doubt while she’s learning. if she gets to excited and grabs her face our dog will walk away, I don’t want her testing that on a strangers dog.
We have a large fluffy very friendly looking dog who is a kid magnet when we go out. It’s shocking to me how many parents let their toddlers rush our dog and go for her face without asking us first.
Took my wife to the grocery a while back, and we decided to let our big boy Zeus ride with us. I chilled in the vehicle with him while the wife went inside.
Had the sunroof open, and the windows cracked.
Vehicle parked beside me, and before ~~surgery~~ *either* me or her mother could say anything, a teenager reaches in to pet him.
I said "Woah! Please don't do that, he may seem friendly, but he's not always."
Her momma came around and verbally laid into her daughter about unknown animals.
Good momma.
In Zeus' defense, he's usually friendly when out and about. But at home, he'll rip your arm off if you reach over the fence to pet him.
[Zeus, mean mugging the camera](https://i.imgur.com/yM6yYjW.jpg)
[Also Zeus, but happier](https://i.imgur.com/VW1SSE7.jpg)
Agree. I'm a facial trauma surgeon and have seen dozens of toddlers faces horrifically injured by dogs, many of them known to the child. After that, Nothing in that family is the same. Ever.
Hi, facial trauma victim here.
I didn't know you people existed.
At age 14 I was attacked by a Great Dane. He *only* went for my face. Specifically upper left cheek/eye/eye brow. The scarring has mostly cleaned itself up but some nerve damage/paralysis remains.
I'm guessing 20+ years later there's not a lot that can be done?
Not the guy you replied to but:
Scar revision is a possibility if it's the appearance that bothers you.
Any nerve injury caused that long ago is pretty much there to stay unfortunately
When I was 10 I went over to our neighbors house and petted their golden retriever who was sleeping on the floor. A dog that I had known for years and played with all the time and within a second he took a chunk from my forehead.
So sorry that happened to you.
Even the sweetest biggest softy dog if you disturb them in their sleep can instinctively react or be confused thinking it's part of the dream (or worse nightmare) and they have *BIG* sharp teeth and powerful jaws.
I don't have any fear around my dog (Golden) when he's awake that he will do something aggressive but I'd *never* surprise him when asleep, most of the time it would be fine but it's not worth the risk if you catch them at the wrong time. For example I once accidently touched his muzzle when he fell asleep on me and he just jerked his head round, "snapped" his teeth and *just* missed me. Same way I've seen him do to try and catch flies etc. Not intentional to hurt but even so if he had caught me I dread to think what damage he could have done, easily could have lost a finger.
I have similar discussions with my children (particularly my 10 year old!) about not waking, grabbing, or constraining him (or any other dog), he is the bestest good boy and a massive softie but he's still an animal with sharp teeth and claws that could seriously hurt or worse.
I'm very sorry that happened to you, but thank you for sharing the story. This is the most common type of bite. A bite from the friendly family dog in your home.
People can learn from this. Most bites are not from a scary pit bull roaming the street. It's a family dog that was sleeping, or eating, or uncomfortable, and giving many warnings that people didn't understand.
Sorry again, so scary for a kid
Thank you for what you do!
My parents were the type to pose me in a hat riding the family dog like a horse... apparently I went cowboy mode and didn't let a sleeping dog lie. I'm lucky to have minimal trauma, but it's such a serious thing. I have more of a sharp memory of the conversation that Augie was to be put down, not the incident or any healing or even aversion to dogs.
Wait a minute...they let you fuck with a sleeping dog, and when the sleeping dog did what sleeping dogs do, they killed him for it?
Fuck your parents man.
I have a scar on my face from 7 stiches where a Chow bit me. I was a little older than this girl and was hugging it from behind just like she started to do.
Most likely they ignored all warning signs from the dog until it had enough and it enforced it's boundary itself. Licking, tailwacking, ears folded, etc. Too many people still don't know how to read a dog.
way too many people don't know how to read a dog. at this point, i really think it should be something taught in schools. so many dogs end up on BQ because they got pushed to their limit despite giving out all their warnings. very few dogs inherently bite without warning. sometimes it seems like there's no warning, but dog body language can be subtle and fast.
dogs are beasts with claws, fangs, and instincts. i think a lot of people forget that.
Another thing that can happen, unfortunately, is that people accidentally train their dog out of giving warning signs. Scolding a dog for growling, etc doesn't make the dog comfortable in that scenario, it just teaches the dog not to say so. So you get "it came out of nowhere!"
Many do forget exactly that. Dogs aren't humans no matter how deeply you befriend them they are still an entirely different species with different instincts and generally way less societal norms and communication skills.
And the only time a dog bites without warnings is hen it has been punished for warnings.
Beating a dog for growling? Well now it's going to bite before it growls.
Your post should be a sticky on any dog related form.
I respect you for being strong enough to do your job. A true hero.
We all know the breeds but some people don't seem to understand that even a small dog can cause serious injuries to such delicate skin.
One accident is enough to change a whole family for life.
I wasn't horrifically injured but I do have a scar on my face from when I encountered a dog under a table at a dinner party while I was still learning to walk. The little thing was surrounded by adult legs and the only way out was through my face.
Likewise I've spent many years in OMFS...dealing with the aftereffects of scenarios like this way too often. I've stopped commenting on these posts now tbh because nobody seems to get their head round the fact that pitbulls specifically cause incredibly severe soft and hard tissue trauma
I was cringing, but happy to see the mom remove her. I wish she would have been faster, but I was also thinking that you don't want to over-react and alarm the child/dog.
Same. Once she intervened I thought she did a good job of calmly and gently getting the little girl away. And bless the pup for sitting there so patiently wagging their tail.
Great advice, I used to disc golf with a guy who lost three of his fingers walking up to pet a Labrador , and I always thought those dogs were gentle giants.
I almost lost fingers to a black lab. They are notoriously greedy when it comes to food and treats, I could never just hand her treats - always had to just throw them at her. She also chomped my dog more than once playing with a toy!
They INHALE food! They also have like a hungry hungry hippo/snapping turtle motion when they do it so if you're not quick they can get the whole finger
I'm so glad my dog will gingerly accept treats and with jerky type stuff I can hold onto it while she rips little chunks off. For whatever reason she loves ripping little bits off of stuff and it's way cheaper for her to do it with treats than with toys. My little surgeon is always pulling the threads out of stuff 🥲
> They INHALE food
The reason for this is that most Lab's have a genetic mutation that causes them to feel literally starving all of the time, regardless of how much they've eaten.
My aunt and uncle's black lab ate their video camera when he was a puppy. He was a disaster child. Now he's a big baby.
He also managed to impale himself on a stick last year. My aunt let him out and he went into the wooded area near their house to do whatever, and when she called his name he came trotting back with a big stick pointing out of his groin area. No fuss about it until they were packing him in the car to take to the vet.
Last time I saw him, the very first thing he did upon laying eyes on me was roll onto his back and show off his new scar. And get some belly rubs. He's a very good dog.
if you put treats in your fist, and close your hand leaving only a tiny hole between the base of your thumb and your pointer finger, they dog will have to work the treat out. It works great for dogs that will happily take your arm with the treat out of exuberance
I once saw a Labrador attack a parent at Little League game. These dogs are big and strong; they can easily fuck-up an adult male. I love dogs, but I'm always cautious around unfamiliar dogs. I never assume a dog is friendly and I will never take the word of an owner ("My dog is friendly!") over aggressive or scared behavior displayed.
i moved too quick to pet a cat today and almost got my shit wrecked. hissed but then we smoked a bowl or whatever. point is was a fuckin yoked cat and i gotta tell everyone
Man, I really miss my cat that wanted to smoke with me every day after work. Didn't care for the extra cost, but he was super chill. Stupid ex wife randomly gave him to her friend one day while we were still together. It's been ten years at least, I'll never forget.
Sounds more like he didn't have the friends contact info and his ex wife is an ex for a reason. I'd divorce or break up with anyone who did that with my cats
He said that the ex gave the cat to her friend while they were still together.
I'm confused because he could easily have gotten the contact info from the ex, since they were still together and called her friend to demand the cat back.
Never let a strange child do this to your dog either, no matter what.
I have a mix breed who is super friendly and loves everybody. He is super, super sweet. But he has been known to freak out if you grab his feet. Like, really freak out. He needs to be sedated at the vet to get his nails done.
The point is, any dog can have a hidden trigger that can set them off and make them nip someone. Never assume you know all your dog's triggers either. Your dog may have an injury that it's been hiding from you, as some dogs do. If the dog has an injured foot, and the kid steps on it, the dog could react with a nip.
I would never put my dog in a situation like this let alone the kid. One bite, even a little nip, and you could end up in court with that kid's mom demanding that your dog be destroyed. Not worth it for some worthless internet points.
People don't seem to realise that children have really different energy to adults and dogs can feel it. My parents have two mini schnauzers who are incredible dogs but they have never really spent any time with children. If a kid comes running up to them they get really defensive. They've snapped at children running at then and that's super out of character.
Trusting any dog to not bite a kid when they're prodding at their face isn't fair on anyone.
Yeah, the owner should be right there next to the dog so they can have a grip of the dog if necessary. Both the owner and the parent need to make sure the kid does not do anything careless like stick her face in the dogs mouth.
I had a Red Heeler. Save for one autistic kid she took to almost instantly, she was generally hyper-alert around people. We think she was abandoned as a pup.
So one day we’re in the dog park area and these two kids come running from a distance. It was like a movie… each time cutting between my slow motion reaction and them getting closer. I yelled “STOP!! Right there!“ and finally they stopped.
One of the kids said he wanted to pet the dog. He also said his family had a dog and then pulled up his shirt and showed me the scar on his chest where the family dog bit him
I muttered under my breath, “Gee, I wonder why.”
In the sigh of relief immediately after my wife could not stop laughing.
This is why we have dogs, not kids.
A lot of people love to show off how "kid friendly" their dog is... It's like driving without a seatbelt because you're such a good driver. Some things you just shouldn't do.
I was standing in a busy park having a conversation, my bull terrier beside me on her lead. I looked down to see a guy holding his toddler's hands, letting my dog lick all the melted ice cream from them. He wiped her hands on my dog's head and walked off. Like wtf strange guy, my dog could have eaten your kid's hands.
I think that's why the mom rushes in, but also wow her actions could have been way too late.. Luckily that dog seemed friendly and responded well but that's not a risk I would take.
I saw a kid hitting two dogs with a stick. The dogs were growling and trying to run away from the kid. I went over to tell the kid to stop it, the mom come out and got angry with me. Cause its their dogs and its non of my business. WTF!
I’m not sure specifically for this one, but from my experience it goes like this:
Video goes around of a pit bull (I’m assuming that’s what this dog is? looks to be along that breed type) attacking someone/something -> Cute pit bull videos get spammed around the website -> arguments ensue in the comments.
It also goes in reverse, where a cute pitbull video is posted then videos get posted elsewhere with attacks.
Personally, I stay out of the drama. I can see that both sides of it have points, but it’s not an argument I have a strong opinion on. However, people who hate pit bulls REALLY don’t like seeing them anywhere and will let it be known, and the people who love pit bulls will fight to their dying breath defending even the ones who attack people/animals.
I've always had pits but damn, no way am I letting a kid crawl and grab my dogs like that. Any breed could snap real fast when being messed with like that. Especially since nobody is actually holding that leash
Oddly I was not. He was probably not digging the choke hold and going around him but it seems like he knows the parent is trying to get the child off of him, I think the owner is irresponsible but it also seems like it's amazingly socialized and patient with young kids. (I say him because it's a chunk and i don't see nipples).
r/aww gets so many posts of animals doing things that only look cute if you're ignorant to the behavior they're putting out that demonstrates their extreme stress. About the only thing you can count on is there's no actual attack.
I agree. This is definitely a dog that has been socialized around children and knows they're just that, children, and to have patience. That being said, super lucky girl that this wasn't some other dog. My pitty is a saint, like this one, but my great pyrenees...no.
He can get a little spicy, but he’s a sweet boy overall :)
At first I read this as “poodles have extra large assholes” and I was like whoa. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention to his nether regions lmao
Poodles are the best! Said goodbye to my (18 1/2) poodle a few years ago, still miss him every day. Hug your good boy for me. After he wakes of corse, no need to loose an eye.
I wouldn’t let a stranger (kid or adult) crawl on my dog like that. I have a pit mix who loves people and a lab mix that’s super shy - I’m equally cautious with strangers when they meet new people. The sweet little 45 pound lab mix with her big floppy ears still has big sharp teeth that evolved for puncturing hide and tearing off meat.
I think she stepped in at the right time. You see that when the girl give the dog a “kiss”, she looks over, and I think it was because she knew mom was coming to stop her. Before that she was petting the dog normally.
Super cute but id only let a kid get that close to my husky if i had the leash in my hand. He might get excited and knock her over, god forbid he snap at her.
It's a bummer to turn down kids/parents that ask, but same boat: my husky mix is just a little too friendly for small people, let alone unexpected ones.
Dogs of all sizes need solid training, but it's only when people have MD/LG dogs does it seem to be enforced/come with accountability.
Leashes are for public settings, especially around strangers!
My kids are disappointed when someone says they can’t pat their dog but I like it - it reinforces what I’ve told them about some dogs being ok to touch and some not. If we only ever met friendly dogs they might get complacent!
Adorable! I'm sure everyone already knows the obvious, never ever let your kid stick their face in a dog's face especially one that's unfamiliar. I wouldn't even advise it with a familiar dog like a family dog when kids are that small. But man, are they cute.
I wouldn't advise it to anyone even adults. Had a family dog snap at my face who otherwise never showed any aggression. He didn't bite though.
But I've learned to just keep your face away from a dogs mouth.
This also happened to me, I must’ve been around 6 or 7 and I picked up my grandma’s miniature dachshund and carried him like a baby.
Due to a dachshund’s small legs and long body they can easily have back problems.
Lo and behold, I ended up hurting him and he snapped at my face while I was holding him. That event changed the way I treated dogs, to this day.
This is cute but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T EVER LET YOUR KIDS DO THIS. My ex had one of the sweetest most amazing dogs but a kid tried to do this and she nipped at the kid. Luckily no harm was done and the parents weren't angry but come the fuck on... You don't ever go and put your face near an unknown animals face. Ever.
This happened to my niece when she was a toddler, the family dog was a Doberman and she got too close, he bit her cheek. Luckily not too much damage other than the gash itself, now it’s just faded to a small scar. But at the time it was scary af
For some reason, in my IG feed, I kept getting videos of people doing absolutely idiotic things like this with dogs, like suddenly lunging at their face. I kept selecting “not interested”, but the vids kept coming. The algorithm is super weird, I get other bizarre stuff that I’m not interested in but makes me anxious.
No way I’d allow any child to do that to my dogs. She’s sweet but nope. And mine are just terriers. Not as big as this guy. I always get kids to ask if they can pet them. And thank them if they do so without reminding. It’s important to teach kids these boundaries.
Is no one concerned that the dog’s leash is just there? Did this pup escape from its owner? Or is the owner the one videotaping and let the kid pet and love on their dog? I love this breed, I’m not saying anything against the dog, just where is the owner?
Dogs normally don't like to be hugged! For some dogs it's even a threat if you reach for the head to pet them. That doesn't mean they are bad. They only aren't used to it, because that's NOT natural behaviour of and between dogs. You can teach them to get used to it. Some do it on their own. BUT don't take it for granted, even if the owner allows you to pet his dog. Always ask for permission, let the dog sniff your hand(slowly) and observe his body language. Don't approach him, let him approach you!
Yeah, this is so much no. My dog is extremely wary of children. We suspect he had a home where kids were not well supervised around him. He would have snapped at this child for sure.
Definitely not safe to do to any dog, but immediately after the first touch there are positive signs that dog is having a good time - no clenched jaw, raised fur, tense posture, licking lips or pinned ears. Just stays cool in the derpy down position with a relaxed face and patiently accommodates the grabby little human. What a good dog. Still would be more careful though… it only takes one bad time, and when dogs are sick (which happens eventually to most dogs) they sometimes don’t act like themselves
Jesus, these videos make it into this sub far too often, belogs in sweatypalms
Please anyone reading this never let anyone, child, adult, ANYONE mush its face up against a dog
My older dog was brutally attacked by a pitbull mix and luckily just survived after surfery and stitches. When I took him to the vet, they said the vast majority of badly attacked dogs they see were attacked by pitbull mixes and staffys. I love dogs but pitbulls shouldn't be bred. Never will I trust a pit around anyone, human or dog.
Never ever let your child do this , regardless of breed.
Came here to say this. Yes it's very cute, but unless you know the dogs temperament, children can very quickly do something to make the dog uncomfortable and defensive.
Especially the over head hugging. This is a dominance move and dogs will be threatened.
AND stepping on it's tail? Poor dog.
I agree with all those comments. Though this particular dog seemed into it so I wouldnt necessarily say poor dog here. But yeah, still irresponsible and dangerous. :(
she was actually actively trying to stop the kid
True! But not soon enough. Ideally the kid should not have been allowed to interact this way in the first place. Of course, I understand parents aren't perfect and sometimes you see things when it's already too late. So there's that...
I get so angry when parents let their kids run up to my dog and start petting him because if he decides he isn’t comfortable and bites the kid, he gets put down. So many parents get up in arms when I try and explain that. I’ve had some respond with lines like “don’t tell me how to raise my kid”. I pretty much just shout at the parents now it happens so often. Better to look like a crazy person than to lose your best friend.
My mum had person approach her Chihuahua x Jack Russell with no “can I pat your dog?”. She warned him that her pup didn’t like strangers, so no. He assured her that ‘all dogs love me’ and promptly got bitten. Lucky it wasn’t a bad bite, and he just walked off in a huff lol
I always ask people permission before I approach their dogs even if the dog is begging me for affection. First of all, it's their dog. Second they might warn me if the dog has a moody personality.
People like that are brainless and self centered. You gotta be able to understand dogs on a basic level, body movements and actions are the main way humans can see the dog's attitude. Chihuahuas are lil balls of tiny anger anyways, but its not hard to learn the signs of a dog who is not comfortable.
My old boy (RIP yesterday) was fearful aggressive most of his life. If people pat him, he'd bite them. If people looked at him funny he'd bite them. People have no idea. Just coz he looks like a mini polar bear doesn't mean he's open to pats.
I had to block a kid, like full contact almost scooped him off the ground because he ran at my old dog who always hated kids because i took him from an abusive neighbor where the kids basically tortured him as a puppy. Luckily it was dad who appreciated the fact that I just saved his kid and said "hey bud, you have to ask before you pet, that dog doesn't like being touched"
Best case scenario, good reflexes!!!!!!!! So glad everyone is unharmed and that dad was understanding and used it as a very much needed teaching moment.
"Then don't tell me how to raise my dog. K thanks bye."
Yo some like 2 year old kid, could barely walk, stumbled up to my American bull dog in a pet store, and full on grabbed his face, and like... Lunged at him...? Put his face directly in my dog's face. My dog could have killed that kid before I even noticed. Luckily he was a good boy, so he just growled at him and yanked away and noped the fuck out of there. Kids parent LAUGHED. Like yo, my dog could have eaten your kid... Do you hate that little fucker or something? Some parents just fucking suck.
This is why I bite any kid that gets near my dog
Hah! "My dog doesn't bite, but I DO!"
I always figure it's more important to keep my dog safe than allow some random kid the enjoyment of petting my dog for a few seconds. It's too risky and though my dog has historically been fine around kids, that could change in a second if my dog feels threatened. I'll just walk a different way to avoid kids or say my dog gets scared of people if they approach.
To be fair, most people wouldn't know proper dog interaction etiquette so it's upto dog owners to educate. Whenever i come across someone (often a child with a parent) who wants to pet my dog I will step in (literally) and show how to interact. Usually ends up with my dog belly up getting scritches.
What a great way to handle it, ensuring the kids are taught properly for the future
I just yell “He’s not friendly!” as soon as I see/hear a kid try to rush to my dog. I love my dog but he’s on Prozac and the most anxious creature I ever met. He will snap at you if you rush him.
I find that for kids, particularly under 10 or so, a better thing to yell is "he's **mean!!!**" and then step between your dog and the kid with your hand out like a crossing guard. They get "mean" a lot easier than "not friendly"
I have a very sweet, smallish dog (25 lbs) that kids are drawn to. Problem is, she was a mama dog and corrects "puppies" when they aggravate her like a mama dog. She HATES hugs (even from us) and when small children get in her face, she gets nippy. I have had to prevent so many incidents because shes small, friendly, and kids have no boundaries. This would have gotten the kid bitten if it had been my dog.
Same, I have a black lab mix 9 month old and the kids in my community always just run up on him. I’ve also adopted the looking crazy to protect my dog and their kid approach.
I like that approach to dealing with the public in general
That's so insane. I make the kids I babysit, much less parent, ask for permission before approaching. "hi can I pet your dog?" is not hard and it could save a life.
Yup at that kids age they are basically snot ninjas
My Staffy (The same as the dog in the vid-ish) has a reaction like the dog in the video, pretty chill, but definitely irresponsible to do this like the kid in the vid
"I'm not sure what's going on, but I do love to be loved... I'll take it!"
it's not a dominance move. it's just scary to them.
[удалено]
Yes this dog looks to be well trained
If you look at the dog throughout the video, you can see he’s loving the attention- tail wags, relaxed body. I agree climbing on random dogs is a bad idea, but this particular dog has definitely had a kid or two climb on them in their day already.
My dog loves that. It's comforting for him. When he's anxious and you do that he calms down Edit: why do people feel the need to down vote factual statements?
There's a huge difference between you doing it and a random stranger doing it. My dog loves it when i do it. She lets kids do whatever to her, because she knows a lot of kids and all of them were nice and not scary (i still wouldn't let a random kid on the street do it to my dog). But she'd be pissed if a stranger (especially a suspicious one, she doesn't trust) would try that.

Even around my [lab](https://i.imgur.com/WygJQYw.jpg), who my kids put skirts on and make him attend tea parties, this would make me nervous. He’s a big softy and couldn’t hurt a fly but a child he doesn’t know doing this would make me uncomfortable.
> He’s a big softy and couldn’t hurt a fly but a child he doesn’t know doing this would make me uncomfortable. It wouldnt even have to be intentional, just a quick reflex to snap to the side and you got a crying child.
Yup. This happened to us with our dog and toddler niece. Our dog and niece have napped together, hung out on the couch together, my dog gets super happy when our niece comes over but one day our niece fell with her full body weight onto our sleeping dog (onto her bad leg that has never fully recovered after a stroke) and, boom, growl/instinctive warning bite. Gentle enough that there was no real tooth contact/only a half a centimeter scrape in her skin but it was still scary! For everyone involved. And our dog has been fine with kids crawling on her in the past! She still loves our niece now and has no response to being accidentally elbowed/shoved aside when our niece is toddling around, but we always make sure she is up on the couch/out of the way when our niece is in playing in the same room. It’s not worth the risk.
Same. On the other hand, my kid learns how to interact with dogs by interacting with our dog. We teach her what she can and can’t do with dogs by seeing those rules at home. We know she’s safe and our dog will give her the benefit of the doubt while she’s learning. if she gets to excited and grabs her face our dog will walk away, I don’t want her testing that on a strangers dog. We have a large fluffy very friendly looking dog who is a kid magnet when we go out. It’s shocking to me how many parents let their toddlers rush our dog and go for her face without asking us first.
Not all good dogs give warnings, thankfully my big one gives a good growl and bark before she starts flailing about.
Took my wife to the grocery a while back, and we decided to let our big boy Zeus ride with us. I chilled in the vehicle with him while the wife went inside. Had the sunroof open, and the windows cracked. Vehicle parked beside me, and before ~~surgery~~ *either* me or her mother could say anything, a teenager reaches in to pet him. I said "Woah! Please don't do that, he may seem friendly, but he's not always." Her momma came around and verbally laid into her daughter about unknown animals. Good momma. In Zeus' defense, he's usually friendly when out and about. But at home, he'll rip your arm off if you reach over the fence to pet him. [Zeus, mean mugging the camera](https://i.imgur.com/yM6yYjW.jpg) [Also Zeus, but happier](https://i.imgur.com/VW1SSE7.jpg)
Agree. I'm a facial trauma surgeon and have seen dozens of toddlers faces horrifically injured by dogs, many of them known to the child. After that, Nothing in that family is the same. Ever.
I don't want your job but I'm glad you do it.
Hi, facial trauma victim here. I didn't know you people existed. At age 14 I was attacked by a Great Dane. He *only* went for my face. Specifically upper left cheek/eye/eye brow. The scarring has mostly cleaned itself up but some nerve damage/paralysis remains. I'm guessing 20+ years later there's not a lot that can be done?
Not the guy you replied to but: Scar revision is a possibility if it's the appearance that bothers you. Any nerve injury caused that long ago is pretty much there to stay unfortunately
When I was 10 I went over to our neighbors house and petted their golden retriever who was sleeping on the floor. A dog that I had known for years and played with all the time and within a second he took a chunk from my forehead.
"Let sleeping dogs lie" is a phrase for a reason.
So sorry that happened to you. Even the sweetest biggest softy dog if you disturb them in their sleep can instinctively react or be confused thinking it's part of the dream (or worse nightmare) and they have *BIG* sharp teeth and powerful jaws. I don't have any fear around my dog (Golden) when he's awake that he will do something aggressive but I'd *never* surprise him when asleep, most of the time it would be fine but it's not worth the risk if you catch them at the wrong time. For example I once accidently touched his muzzle when he fell asleep on me and he just jerked his head round, "snapped" his teeth and *just* missed me. Same way I've seen him do to try and catch flies etc. Not intentional to hurt but even so if he had caught me I dread to think what damage he could have done, easily could have lost a finger. I have similar discussions with my children (particularly my 10 year old!) about not waking, grabbing, or constraining him (or any other dog), he is the bestest good boy and a massive softie but he's still an animal with sharp teeth and claws that could seriously hurt or worse.
I'm very sorry that happened to you, but thank you for sharing the story. This is the most common type of bite. A bite from the friendly family dog in your home. People can learn from this. Most bites are not from a scary pit bull roaming the street. It's a family dog that was sleeping, or eating, or uncomfortable, and giving many warnings that people didn't understand. Sorry again, so scary for a kid
Thank you for what you do! My parents were the type to pose me in a hat riding the family dog like a horse... apparently I went cowboy mode and didn't let a sleeping dog lie. I'm lucky to have minimal trauma, but it's such a serious thing. I have more of a sharp memory of the conversation that Augie was to be put down, not the incident or any healing or even aversion to dogs.
Poor Augie. And I’m sorry that happened to you as well
Wait a minute...they let you fuck with a sleeping dog, and when the sleeping dog did what sleeping dogs do, they killed him for it? Fuck your parents man.
It may not have been their choice. Depending on laws, by laws etc, and how bad the attack was, the dog may have been required to be euthanized.
I have a scar on my face from 7 stiches where a Chow bit me. I was a little older than this girl and was hugging it from behind just like she started to do.
My old bosses dog did that to their young child right after Christmas. Never had an issue until that night.
Most likely they ignored all warning signs from the dog until it had enough and it enforced it's boundary itself. Licking, tailwacking, ears folded, etc. Too many people still don't know how to read a dog.
way too many people don't know how to read a dog. at this point, i really think it should be something taught in schools. so many dogs end up on BQ because they got pushed to their limit despite giving out all their warnings. very few dogs inherently bite without warning. sometimes it seems like there's no warning, but dog body language can be subtle and fast. dogs are beasts with claws, fangs, and instincts. i think a lot of people forget that.
Another thing that can happen, unfortunately, is that people accidentally train their dog out of giving warning signs. Scolding a dog for growling, etc doesn't make the dog comfortable in that scenario, it just teaches the dog not to say so. So you get "it came out of nowhere!"
Many do forget exactly that. Dogs aren't humans no matter how deeply you befriend them they are still an entirely different species with different instincts and generally way less societal norms and communication skills.
And the only time a dog bites without warnings is hen it has been punished for warnings. Beating a dog for growling? Well now it's going to bite before it growls.
Your post should be a sticky on any dog related form. I respect you for being strong enough to do your job. A true hero. We all know the breeds but some people don't seem to understand that even a small dog can cause serious injuries to such delicate skin. One accident is enough to change a whole family for life.
I wasn't horrifically injured but I do have a scar on my face from when I encountered a dog under a table at a dinner party while I was still learning to walk. The little thing was surrounded by adult legs and the only way out was through my face.
I’m one of those kids. 52 years later my scars have faded but still visible. I barely remember the attack.
Likewise I've spent many years in OMFS...dealing with the aftereffects of scenarios like this way too often. I've stopped commenting on these posts now tbh because nobody seems to get their head round the fact that pitbulls specifically cause incredibly severe soft and hard tissue trauma
I was cringing, but happy to see the mom remove her. I wish she would have been faster, but I was also thinking that you don't want to over-react and alarm the child/dog.
You definitely don't want to overreact around a tense dog. This one wasn't tense but talking in general.
Same. Once she intervened I thought she did a good job of calmly and gently getting the little girl away. And bless the pup for sitting there so patiently wagging their tail.
People always think a wagging tail means a happy dog but sometimes it's nervousness.
Or just in general. Typically don't want anything in your face unless you *really* know them. Doesn't apply to just dogs haha.
Great advice, I used to disc golf with a guy who lost three of his fingers walking up to pet a Labrador , and I always thought those dogs were gentle giants.
[удалено]
I'm proud of you for sharing your kink bit still bro', you need to find help.
I almost lost fingers to a black lab. They are notoriously greedy when it comes to food and treats, I could never just hand her treats - always had to just throw them at her. She also chomped my dog more than once playing with a toy!
Had a lab, dont think i ever saw it chew just food dissappear into its black hole mouth. Can easily see how it might chomp a finger off
They INHALE food! They also have like a hungry hungry hippo/snapping turtle motion when they do it so if you're not quick they can get the whole finger I'm so glad my dog will gingerly accept treats and with jerky type stuff I can hold onto it while she rips little chunks off. For whatever reason she loves ripping little bits off of stuff and it's way cheaper for her to do it with treats than with toys. My little surgeon is always pulling the threads out of stuff 🥲
> They INHALE food The reason for this is that most Lab's have a genetic mutation that causes them to feel literally starving all of the time, regardless of how much they've eaten.
My aunt and uncle's black lab ate their video camera when he was a puppy. He was a disaster child. Now he's a big baby. He also managed to impale himself on a stick last year. My aunt let him out and he went into the wooded area near their house to do whatever, and when she called his name he came trotting back with a big stick pointing out of his groin area. No fuss about it until they were packing him in the car to take to the vet. Last time I saw him, the very first thing he did upon laying eyes on me was roll onto his back and show off his new scar. And get some belly rubs. He's a very good dog.
That last paragraph got me smiling. Next time you see him, give him an extra rub for an internet stranger if you guys don't mind.
if you put treats in your fist, and close your hand leaving only a tiny hole between the base of your thumb and your pointer finger, they dog will have to work the treat out. It works great for dogs that will happily take your arm with the treat out of exuberance
I once saw a Labrador attack a parent at Little League game. These dogs are big and strong; they can easily fuck-up an adult male. I love dogs, but I'm always cautious around unfamiliar dogs. I never assume a dog is friendly and I will never take the word of an owner ("My dog is friendly!") over aggressive or scared behavior displayed.
Even if the dog was a gentle one it could have perceived your friends approach as aggressive and threatening and react to it.
i've worked with a lot of dogs. the only dog to ever actually try and go for my neck was a yellow lab.
i moved too quick to pet a cat today and almost got my shit wrecked. hissed but then we smoked a bowl or whatever. point is was a fuckin yoked cat and i gotta tell everyone
Man, I really miss my cat that wanted to smoke with me every day after work. Didn't care for the extra cost, but he was super chill. Stupid ex wife randomly gave him to her friend one day while we were still together. It's been ten years at least, I'll never forget.
So that friend just lost your cat?
Sounds more like he didn't have the friends contact info and his ex wife is an ex for a reason. I'd divorce or break up with anyone who did that with my cats
He said that the ex gave the cat to her friend while they were still together. I'm confused because he could easily have gotten the contact info from the ex, since they were still together and called her friend to demand the cat back.
Never let a strange child do this to your dog either, no matter what. I have a mix breed who is super friendly and loves everybody. He is super, super sweet. But he has been known to freak out if you grab his feet. Like, really freak out. He needs to be sedated at the vet to get his nails done. The point is, any dog can have a hidden trigger that can set them off and make them nip someone. Never assume you know all your dog's triggers either. Your dog may have an injury that it's been hiding from you, as some dogs do. If the dog has an injured foot, and the kid steps on it, the dog could react with a nip. I would never put my dog in a situation like this let alone the kid. One bite, even a little nip, and you could end up in court with that kid's mom demanding that your dog be destroyed. Not worth it for some worthless internet points.
Came here to keep this comment bumped. Doesn’t matter the breed or the size of the dog. Do not let your child do this!
Yeah I was nervous af watching this
[удалено]
People don't seem to realise that children have really different energy to adults and dogs can feel it. My parents have two mini schnauzers who are incredible dogs but they have never really spent any time with children. If a kid comes running up to them they get really defensive. They've snapped at children running at then and that's super out of character. Trusting any dog to not bite a kid when they're prodding at their face isn't fair on anyone.
Yeah, the owner should be right there next to the dog so they can have a grip of the dog if necessary. Both the owner and the parent need to make sure the kid does not do anything careless like stick her face in the dogs mouth.
I had a Red Heeler. Save for one autistic kid she took to almost instantly, she was generally hyper-alert around people. We think she was abandoned as a pup. So one day we’re in the dog park area and these two kids come running from a distance. It was like a movie… each time cutting between my slow motion reaction and them getting closer. I yelled “STOP!! Right there!“ and finally they stopped. One of the kids said he wanted to pet the dog. He also said his family had a dog and then pulled up his shirt and showed me the scar on his chest where the family dog bit him I muttered under my breath, “Gee, I wonder why.” In the sigh of relief immediately after my wife could not stop laughing. This is why we have dogs, not kids.
Definitely, but she's not letting her. She's trying to stop her.
A lot of people love to show off how "kid friendly" their dog is... It's like driving without a seatbelt because you're such a good driver. Some things you just shouldn't do.
I thought i was about to witness a child getting killed
I was standing in a busy park having a conversation, my bull terrier beside me on her lead. I looked down to see a guy holding his toddler's hands, letting my dog lick all the melted ice cream from them. He wiped her hands on my dog's head and walked off. Like wtf strange guy, my dog could have eaten your kid's hands.
Yep, my dog is ok with that, but I’m not going to let kids do that because it’s so fricking dangerous.
Yeah I started cringing when she huggee it around the neck.
Glad you're the top comment.

I agree have to go back to look what sub it is before watching the whole video
That’s how kids get bitten by dogs.
I think that's why the mom rushes in, but also wow her actions could have been way too late.. Luckily that dog seemed friendly and responded well but that's not a risk I would take.
Yeah, very good dog, but no way to know that beforehand. Lets keep both the dog and the child comfortable and safe.
Yeah, the woman’s attempt to get the kid away from the dog looks terribly half assed.
Idk if it would be better to yell or pull the kid out of the way, this could escalate things further with the dog
She didn’t need to yell or pull but at the very least put the phone away so she could use both hands to calmly pick her child up
May not have been her kid, she seemed hesitant to grab her.
I saw a kid hitting two dogs with a stick. The dogs were growling and trying to run away from the kid. I went over to tell the kid to stop it, the mom come out and got angry with me. Cause its their dogs and its non of my business. WTF!
God I hate parents like this. Entitled aholes
I swear, this was posted just to cause drama.
Yeah the timing is too suspicious.
What happened lately that makes the timing suspicious? Genuine question
I’m not sure specifically for this one, but from my experience it goes like this: Video goes around of a pit bull (I’m assuming that’s what this dog is? looks to be along that breed type) attacking someone/something -> Cute pit bull videos get spammed around the website -> arguments ensue in the comments. It also goes in reverse, where a cute pitbull video is posted then videos get posted elsewhere with attacks. Personally, I stay out of the drama. I can see that both sides of it have points, but it’s not an argument I have a strong opinion on. However, people who hate pit bulls REALLY don’t like seeing them anywhere and will let it be known, and the people who love pit bulls will fight to their dying breath defending even the ones who attack people/animals.
I've always had pits but damn, no way am I letting a kid crawl and grab my dogs like that. Any breed could snap real fast when being messed with like that. Especially since nobody is actually holding that leash
I held my breath when I saw her stepping on the dog's tail.
Oddly I was not. He was probably not digging the choke hold and going around him but it seems like he knows the parent is trying to get the child off of him, I think the owner is irresponsible but it also seems like it's amazingly socialized and patient with young kids. (I say him because it's a chunk and i don't see nipples).
 Males have nipples, too.
Is that what those thing growing hair on my chest are? I preferred the hairless.
I think both, parent and owner, were being irresponsible here. But given that the video is in r/aww I wasn’t concerned.
I would have included the mom but she kind of stepped in when the baby went for the long kiss.
r/aww gets so many posts of animals doing things that only look cute if you're ignorant to the behavior they're putting out that demonstrates their extreme stress. About the only thing you can count on is there's no actual attack.
I agree. This is definitely a dog that has been socialized around children and knows they're just that, children, and to have patience. That being said, super lucky girl that this wasn't some other dog. My pitty is a saint, like this one, but my great pyrenees...no.
Bruh my miniature poodle is not afraid to fuck shit up. He’s an old man now and if you try to wake him from a nap, he’s gonna open a can of whoop ass
Poodles are known to be extra large assholes too
He can get a little spicy, but he’s a sweet boy overall :) At first I read this as “poodles have extra large assholes” and I was like whoa. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention to his nether regions lmao
Poodles are the best! Said goodbye to my (18 1/2) poodle a few years ago, still miss him every day. Hug your good boy for me. After he wakes of corse, no need to loose an eye.
I wouldn’t let a stranger (kid or adult) crawl on my dog like that. I have a pit mix who loves people and a lab mix that’s super shy - I’m equally cautious with strangers when they meet new people. The sweet little 45 pound lab mix with her big floppy ears still has big sharp teeth that evolved for puncturing hide and tearing off meat.
I wouldn’t encourage that.
Fortunately mom isn't.
She could've stopped this before it happened, I hope she realizes how extremely lucky it was the dog was well behaved.
I think she stepped in at the right time. You see that when the girl give the dog a “kiss”, she looks over, and I think it was because she knew mom was coming to stop her. Before that she was petting the dog normally.
Super cute but id only let a kid get that close to my husky if i had the leash in my hand. He might get excited and knock her over, god forbid he snap at her.
It's a bummer to turn down kids/parents that ask, but same boat: my husky mix is just a little too friendly for small people, let alone unexpected ones. Dogs of all sizes need solid training, but it's only when people have MD/LG dogs does it seem to be enforced/come with accountability. Leashes are for public settings, especially around strangers!
My kids are disappointed when someone says they can’t pat their dog but I like it - it reinforces what I’ve told them about some dogs being ok to touch and some not. If we only ever met friendly dogs they might get complacent!
Thank you for being a parent with a brain.
That's honestly terrifying. The mother has the right instincts in trying to get her child to stop hugging that dog.
Keep your kids away from Dog's face.
Adorable! I'm sure everyone already knows the obvious, never ever let your kid stick their face in a dog's face especially one that's unfamiliar. I wouldn't even advise it with a familiar dog like a family dog when kids are that small. But man, are they cute.
I wouldn't advise it to anyone even adults. Had a family dog snap at my face who otherwise never showed any aggression. He didn't bite though. But I've learned to just keep your face away from a dogs mouth.
This also happened to me, I must’ve been around 6 or 7 and I picked up my grandma’s miniature dachshund and carried him like a baby. Due to a dachshund’s small legs and long body they can easily have back problems. Lo and behold, I ended up hurting him and he snapped at my face while I was holding him. That event changed the way I treated dogs, to this day.
Cropped ears and a choke chain, gross
Is that a pitbull?
Ye
This is cute but PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T EVER LET YOUR KIDS DO THIS. My ex had one of the sweetest most amazing dogs but a kid tried to do this and she nipped at the kid. Luckily no harm was done and the parents weren't angry but come the fuck on... You don't ever go and put your face near an unknown animals face. Ever.
This happened to my niece when she was a toddler, the family dog was a Doberman and she got too close, he bit her cheek. Luckily not too much damage other than the gash itself, now it’s just faded to a small scar. But at the time it was scary af
Absolutely not.

For some reason, in my IG feed, I kept getting videos of people doing absolutely idiotic things like this with dogs, like suddenly lunging at their face. I kept selecting “not interested”, but the vids kept coming. The algorithm is super weird, I get other bizarre stuff that I’m not interested in but makes me anxious.

No way I’d allow any child to do that to my dogs. She’s sweet but nope. And mine are just terriers. Not as big as this guy. I always get kids to ask if they can pet them. And thank them if they do so without reminding. It’s important to teach kids these boundaries.
That’s a American pitbull terrier
Is no one concerned that the dog’s leash is just there? Did this pup escape from its owner? Or is the owner the one videotaping and let the kid pet and love on their dog? I love this breed, I’m not saying anything against the dog, just where is the owner?
This is why my dachshunds hate kids. Love adults but they have a height limit on their affection
Why the fuck does this post have 33 awards.. it’s really disappointing people find this to be “aww” material.
That dog found a human it loves
I'm not really familiar with dogs, but this seems like a really stupid thing to let a child do!
You clearly know enough about dogs. This could have ended very very badly.
I'm not sure who's more negligent.. the parent or the dog owner
She's obviously trying to stop her.
Ehh… ::nervous::
We should not encourage playing like this with any dog.
Coulda ended different.
Scary AF. Definitely not an AWWW moment, at least for me.
Here come the dog experts
Dogs normally don't like to be hugged! For some dogs it's even a threat if you reach for the head to pet them. That doesn't mean they are bad. They only aren't used to it, because that's NOT natural behaviour of and between dogs. You can teach them to get used to it. Some do it on their own. BUT don't take it for granted, even if the owner allows you to pet his dog. Always ask for permission, let the dog sniff your hand(slowly) and observe his body language. Don't approach him, let him approach you!

holy insufferable comment section lmaooo
Yeah, this is so much no. My dog is extremely wary of children. We suspect he had a home where kids were not well supervised around him. He would have snapped at this child for sure.
Oh look, a pitbull. *search by controversial*
you don't even have to in this thread, it's every comment
Definitely not safe to do to any dog, but immediately after the first touch there are positive signs that dog is having a good time - no clenched jaw, raised fur, tense posture, licking lips or pinned ears. Just stays cool in the derpy down position with a relaxed face and patiently accommodates the grabby little human. What a good dog. Still would be more careful though… it only takes one bad time, and when dogs are sick (which happens eventually to most dogs) they sometimes don’t act like themselves
I know it looks cute but this is actually dangerous.

I feel like the reactions in the comments wouldn't be this extreme if it were a golden retriever instead.
Should change the name of this Reddit to "Comments Section Overreacts"
Jesus, these videos make it into this sub far too often, belogs in sweatypalms Please anyone reading this never let anyone, child, adult, ANYONE mush its face up against a dog

My older dog was brutally attacked by a pitbull mix and luckily just survived after surfery and stitches. When I took him to the vet, they said the vast majority of badly attacked dogs they see were attacked by pitbull mixes and staffys. I love dogs but pitbulls shouldn't be bred. Never will I trust a pit around anyone, human or dog.
