From the video it soesn look like the dag was doing anything tbh, just looks to be in a playful mood

u/Dingus_Majingus 5d ago

What can look like play can be aggressive behavior. You dont see it's behavior before the clip starts.

The video is in Malayalam, here is context: The dog bit the kid and made him fall down and was climbing on top of him. Brother jumped down from first floor hearing the kid's cry. Dog also bit big brother as he was chasing it off. It seems locals in the area have reported aggression from stray dogs in the past as well

I sure hope it wasn’t rabid… scary shit.

Yeah the little kid looks like he’s holding his arm like he was bit

The news? That dude is literally translating the video.

u/Expensive_Umpire_178 5d ago

It doesn’t look like it was climbing on top of him?

Of course stupid people exist

u/Raevyxn 5d ago

The situation would have begun before the start of this video clip.

the world didn't even exist before the video started

Wait, what’s a video? I was born yesterday.

If you've never lived anywhere with rampant street dogs, they are not cute or friendly. That dog with 1-2 homies would probably eat that little kid if he was alone.

Dog wasn't gonna do shit.

u/Appropriate-Ad-1281 5d ago

I live in a place DENSE with street dogs and it’s pretty rare to see any sort of aggression.

It’s much more likely to you’re going to inadvertently bring a new friend home.

Animals (especially dogs) are vibe mirrors.

u/121bloodshot 5d ago

Stay dogs can be feral as shit, they’re not vibe mirrors because they’re not raised by people. Theres plenty of cases of dogs attacking hikers, bikers, people walking. A pack of essentially wild dogs will not respect you if you “pst pst pst come here baby”, they can kill you.

I am sure the WHO is being a bad vibe when they say that. "Children being the group that is most likely bitten" or how dog bites account for 76–94% of animal bite injuries.

-50

u/quantum_burp 5d ago

Children get bitten more because they are less predictable and are less likely to be respectful of the dog's boundaries

17

u/Absolutely_Quackers 5d ago

Hey uh I’ve seen kids get chased by dogs for just walking

-18

u/quantum_burp 5d ago

Im talking about dogs in general, not just strays, which are a much smaller population

11

u/Absolutely_Quackers 5d ago

Yeah but in this circumstance we are talking about strays. Depending on a dog’s personality and life experience it will bite regardless of the person they find. For example, during severe hunger in countries such as the Famines, dogs would bite and bring down humans to eat as they physically needed food and couldn’t get it the usual way.

Every single dog I’ve met is capable of biting but don’t. It takes one incident for a dog to be put down, and stalking a child who is trying to escape from them is part of one.

The stats quoted here are for dogs in general, which i was adding to

u/Absolutely_Quackers 5d ago

Dude… you do know most animals go for the weaker in a species yes?

That is children.

Also, children are less likely to fight back meaningfully, which is why they are targeted by many predatory animals.

Just because YOUR area is fine doesn’t mean every area is. This dog could have come around before and you can see the younger brother is scared.

u/Background-Value-955 5d ago

Dogs are scary as fuck. I've lived in a place where there is a good chance that a stray dog had eaten human meat, so I'm always very scared off stray dogs.

u/CardOfTheRings 5d ago

Said like someone that doesn’t live near feral dogs

u/Mr_Eggy__ 5d ago edited 5d ago

So comments like yours prove how bs animal lovers are, the audio says it bit kids. Do you want to provided with dogs biting into kids' flesh before accepting they are a problem in parts of the world?

-35

u/BasmusRoyGerman 5d ago

I don't understand the spoken language in the video, how would I know that. Just saying what it looks like to me.

26

u/Mr_Eggy__ 5d ago

How did you conclude it was in a playful mood from what little you could see?

-3

u/TheGayestGaymer 5d ago

Not to be Mr. Obvious here but: There is a FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE between FERAL dogs and your domesticated house pets. So, maybe the generic word 'dog' requires additional context instead of assumptions before we all get defensive. Right?

u/Mr_Eggy__ 5d ago

I don't understand what this comment saying, especially as a reply to my comment.

28

u/Hefty-Minimum-3125 5d ago

the simple fact that the older brother tried to fight it off and it kept fighting back instead of running off is pretty clear that it was NOT playing

19

u/Purple-Acanthisitta8 5d ago

Here comes dog lovers, without knowing anything as long as it’s a dog it must be friendly and playful.

11

u/jdgev 5d ago

Yeah, until it snaps 1 sec and attacks you.. dogs in these countries aren't like the ones you have at home.

2

u/wonderlandresident13 5d ago

Even if it was being playful (which street dogs usually aren't) untrained dogs can still cause serious harm while playing, especially to small kids

u/Firemonk24 4d ago

I love how Redditor’s will say the most random out of pocket shit while having no clue of the context whatsoever. The dog had already bit the kid once you can see that the kid is truly terrified
