Okay but why is he pulling the cat closer to the dog? The dog is uncomfortable. Ass
247 u/Dipshit_Mcdoodles Dec 26 '24 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. 14 u/[deleted] Dec 26 '24 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. 7 u/-Owlette- Dec 27 '24 You don’t introduce and acclimatise animals to one another by just throwing them in a room together 5 u/Flesh_A_Sketch Dec 26 '24 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. 3 u/[deleted] Dec 26 '24 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.
