Unbelievable human stupidity

OMG I was waiting for the Dog to bite her, poor dog will be blamed and then PTS.

It's one thing a child not being able to read the signs a dog is giving (which is why a child should never be left alone with a dog) but a grown woman! it defies common sense
 
How can that woman not be scared!

Mind you, I have had people keep walking towards my fear aggressive dog who was growling at them extremely loudly and I have needed to order them to stop where they were. :rolleyes:
 
The dog seems like it really doesn't want to bite, its showing a lot more restraint and thought than it could be
 
It is stupid, putting it on social media doesn't set a very good example. It's a grumpy old Mali and the camera/phone is probably also a factor, one of mine used to kick off if someone put a camera or phone in his face. It's just this weird black object being thrust towards them at eye level and they don't know what it is.

There are whole compilations available of small dogs doing the same thing. For example, this was all over the place a few weeks ago, and lots of people thought it was hilarious.

Now that WAS hilarious because it totally reminded me of George.... except of course he doesn’t bite!

Yes, that should read "silly man" not "silly dog".

The dogs who were "fainting" while having their nails cut, they too were thought to be hilarious. Anybody with any sense could see they were shutting down due to learned helplessness. :rolleyes:

These are the people who get very very offended when Vets insist on a muzzle for their "smiling" dog. Erm no I believe your dogs and they are being very polite in their kindly desist requests. Let's not force them into being rude about the next request.

Poor dog. Shell be genuinely surprised when it escalates to the next step. Heres hoping its an air snap not a full bite delivered.

It's amazing just how many people cannot read their own pets body language though... or misinterpret warnngs.

One or two on here may remember my older GSD Evie, she is a lovely girl but at a vets visit a couple of years ago she had a bit of a mutter at the vet. It surprised both me and the vet as she has been fine before, possibly just grumpy old woman syndrome. But I now muzzle her to see the vet, I would never forgive myself if she bit them, and this way we are all more relaxed for the visit.

Its a no brainer, isn't it? I have had two who have been muzzled for the vets, OK they didn't like it but life's like that sometimes.
My Mum though used to get so cross when they insisted her growling staffie was muzzled and entirely blamed the vet for being incompetent!
 
I remember, a long time ago, Jake grumbling at a young work experience student at our vet surgery. The student, who was shadowing our regular vet got a real telling off from our vet because she was staring at Jake, who obvs didn't appreciate the attention, when he was already in a stressful situation, and feeling decidedly ropey with a nasty infection. She admitted she was a bit mesmerised by his eyes and hadn't broken eye contact with him when he started to squirm. She apologised and said she had learned a valuable lesson. Jake has never been muzzled and our vet did not request it at that consultation either because they recognised the cause. As soon as she dropped eye contact he relaxed. She went on to qualify as a vet and saved Jake's life in April when she operated on him to remove his spleen, so I guess she made amends. ?
 
Mine are both vocal with certain procedures but noise is all it is. Vet trusts me that I can handle them, they're usually happy with a ball/food or just a firm hold at the business end, and for one in particular a muzzle would just add a lot more stress.
