Okay but why is he pulling the cat closer to the dog? The dog is uncomfortable.

This is exactly why. The owner can tell the dog is scared shirtless and is seeing how far they can push it for views and engagement bait. Fucking despicable.

My dog has been wearing him hoody lately, so this shirtless joke gives me a chuckle.

Or so the dog gets used to it and isn't scared shitless anymore?

See how he pets the dog right after getting the bobcat to touch it? He's showing the dog that it's safe and giving him positive reinforcement.

You don’t introduce and acclimatise animals to one another by just throwing them in a room together

This is what I was thinking. The dog doesn't seem to be restrained at all so it's staying purely out if trust for its person.

Dog seems to be going through genuine concern rather than terror.

That's not at all what is happening. This doesn't teach the dog to get used to it. He doesn't understand it's safe by being pet.
