I think it might be a bad idea to make the dog think it's competing with the toddler for food.

In general, the concept of a mailman is pretty confusing to dogs.

Dog Logic: "I barks, mailman doesn't come into house."
Dog Thinking: "Yeah, that's right bitch; you stay out of this house. See you tomorrow!"

You should know that not everyone has the perfect control over their emotions that Vulcans and (apparently) you do, they lose their shit in situations like this. She was probably sure they dog would die then and there, who would have thought the trainer knew doggie CPR?

You are right that most people, including myself, really love their animals and that some people potentially would have a hard time containing their grief or fear when the animal is in a bad situation, that's not what I was commenting on. When the dog started recovering the lady kept up her hysteria and really showed that she doesn't understand or care how dogs think which in my mind shows that she was putting her own feelings before the dogs well being.

I'm no troll, so I guess my only other option is idiot? I'm glad you were available to define my choices so succinctly.

I am a dog owner who has great affection for his animals I value the quality of life for my animals so I take the time to learn about and understand how they think instead of humanizing my animal and then wondering why it doesn't act like one of my children.

"it's a dog lady... hold it together?" Nice one.
You are either a troll, or an idiot who obviously can't understand the rather well-known affection an owner may have for his/her pet.
Get lost.

Whoa whoa whoa... this is nothing like torturing them. He has a large pack of powerful dogs, and he has to be the pack leader. The minute those dogs think he's there to serve THEM is the minute they bite a four year old.

This guy is doing them a great service, and I wouldn't have been upset if he waited another five minutes. Challenge your dog, give him or her a reason to feel proud. He is not denying them food, he is making them work for it.

I for one found this to be a very impressive display. None of those dogs looked beaten or hurt. Well done guy, and some of you who think this is torture either don't have dogs, or you have dogs that you can't let out of your sight without tearing shit up.

Your comment made me instantly think of this video.

I saw a great bumper sticker that read "Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am."

"but this (or any other "evidence") does not prove that one species became another."

Obviously one species can become another. Cows have not been here forever. They have been bred by humans. Same with dogs. Think there were wild chihuahuas in the woods ? Nope they are here only becuase they have been bred like that.

Your just brain washed. Here is a url to the many zillion types of cattle http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/. When your flipping through that remember that they only exist becuase of breeding. And no not all of them can successfully breed with each other, meaning at least some are separate species.

My dog thinks she's a two year old human, that counts for something, right?

Yes, it is indeed too bad that we don't know what a dog thinks about another species' member. What has all the science been for if we can't even determine this basic neurological canine response?

Too bad we don't know what the dog thinks about the monkey's tiny unit....or, what kind of karma it takes to incarnate as a monkey with a sense of humor.

I want to see them breeding this dog, think about how well a dog like that would sell.
