Dog's don't "realize" they have been adopted. My dog acts like this every time I walk in the door after being away for >30mins.

I know it's cute and all, but the dog merely understands the guy's upset, and he's doing the thing that usually gets the "d'aw, I'm not upset anymore" reaction. Dogs are said to have no concept of causality (I'm angry now because of what you did back then.) and in my experience it's true.

Dogs either pick up on your tone and body language, or they suffer from expectation of punishment. Bawling them out for something they are not -that second- doing is useless and approaching abuse in my view.

The dog acting sad because the garbage is strewn around the kitchen is not feeling guilty. He knows that when garbage is strewn around the kitchen, he's going to catch shit. The fact he did it is meaningless to him. The only way to get him to understand to stay out of the garbage is to catch him in the act and get medieval on his buttocks.

It's kinda cute the way dogs act when they know they've been found out *promote

Civil disobedience for no particular reason other than one artist's message to potential patrons or otherwise inhibited party-robots? I have a question;
Is there some private security finishing school for douche bags that keeps all these NY-cheap-suit-renter versions looking and acting pretty-much the same?
Shaved-head prior to advanced-stage male hair-loss...Check

Blank, clueless look that begs the question, "Do I know what the fuck I am here for?"...Check

If it had been someone less skilled, it would have been a serious injury. the officer is certainly justified and correct saying the dog should be taken in. Furthermore, the owners should be prosecuted because no dog acts that violently on their own, no matter the breed.

That dog can be rehabilitated. The owners . . . not so sure.

Nat Geo puts out such trash these days. Even the Discovery Channel does better nature documentaries. Where'd they get that narrator; was if from Talk Soup on E! or from the Animal Planet ('I used my phone to videotape my dog acting neurotically') network?
David Attenborough might die early just so that he can roll over in his grave at this crap.

..and octopus don't have "tentacles". They have arms, eight arms.

Obviously the "dangerous dog Act" wasn't read by the pack that killed the girl.So Vets, farmers and police are never "lunatics"? Does a firearm make someone into a lunatic? please tell me how that happens....I hope mine don't try to convert me to a lunatic.

I fully support your stamp collecting hobby. If you do something in a safe, legal way there should be no issue with any hobby.

We have the Dangerous Dogs Act in England and it's working quite well for us. Introducing guns to deal with dogs is a completely lunatic notion. We leave that to vets, farmers or police units.

Yes bad things do happen. Introducing projectile weapons into the general population is not a sane answer.

If I want a hobby I'll collect stamps.

No dog acts this way unless they've been trained to act this way. one way or another.

Dogs act tough. Cats ARE tough. (And they seem to know that all it takes is one claw swiped across a dog's nose to make him yipe-yipe-yipe all the way home.)

To those saying dogs act the same towards you coming home from work or even the mailbox, I disagree.

I just came back from a 4 day weekend trip, the longest I've ever been away from our 1 year old pup and I got a triple dose of the welcome home face licks and tail wags than I normally do coming home from work. Could be just me, but the dogs in this video seemed ecstatic. Probably more so than usual.
