That video just makes me cringe. And then makes me need to suppress a desire to track down those idiots who thought that was funny.

I've seen this video before.... it haunts me, honestly. Even people that I know that know nothing about dog body language would argue this is the dumbest group of adults in the world and should never allow a child to do that to a dog.

The adult male actually has the dog lay down and rolls him over with his foot after he'd already tried to escape, and the dog is so clearly uncomfortable... Makes me wonder when this dog and child will be on the news

It is sad to say that most people who have dogs don't know the body language of the dog or even in general. It doesn't matter what breed, they all give warning signs.

I love when people says "my dog doesn't bite". Dogs bite period. Dog bites happen to childrem mostly and the reason for this is because parents are to comfortable around dogs not to watch their kids and what they are doing to the animal and not watching the animal's behavior.

I had a doxie and my brother-in-law got down on his level and started provoking him right in his face. My doxie was telling him to back off but he didn't and he thought it was funny. I was telling him to get out of his face and stop doing that to him and I told him he is going to get bit. Stupid is all I could say. Thankfully he stopped and he did not get bit.
