OT: Right? Wrong? Hilarious?

Submitted by Maison Bleue on

I don't have children so I find this to be absolutely hilarious. On the other hand, I could see the point of view of "put the phone down and help your damn kid."

What say you MGobloggers?

P.S. Turn up your volume.

Yes my dog humped my leg. Yes my dog humped my wife's leg. There is no way that I'd ever let my dog hump a chlid that young. Grab collar, toss away, adult picks up child, I explain in NO uncertain terms to the dog that is never going to happen again, to any child. So there is no confusion, "explanation" results with the dog on his back in pure submissive role. Period. 

The dog probably weighed about as much as that child, who was knocked down, with the dog over him. Unacceptable. Dogs are great, perhaps the best non-human companions available to mankind, but the humans must set limits. 

All the folks who think this is hilarious, consider what might happen if this dog is roaming around the neighborhood and does this to someone else's child. It would really suck to have your beloved family pet come home in a bag. 

All the gag reel TV shows have made this crap popular, but in the real world there are consequences for not training your pets or socializing your children.

Please delete this thread.

It's shameful a guy would video this and laugh instead of directly intervening for this child...then to top it off by sending this video out on the internet really pisses me off both as a dad and as a human freakin being.

Not really sure this is the place for this sort of thing.

My girlfriend and I have a dog together, and we love him to death. There may not be a better non-human companion on this planet, and they really do become family. That being said, we don't have kids yet, but when we do, if our dog ever does this to our child, he'll learn pretty quickly that he will never do it again. Unless he wants to get the spanking and scolding of his life.

Just imagine if that was your child. Again, dogs are great, but they need to know who's boss.

I get it from both prospectives and all, but how can you not at least slightly chuckle at this for a second? Obviously you should pull the dog off the kid, but it's still slightly funny. I can't believe some people are getting so upset about this. Seriously get a sense of humor

are seriously misinterpreting what was going on. As others have pointed out upthread, female dogs hump as well as male dogs do, and in these instances it's an assertion of social position and dominance, not sexual desire. I never allow my dog to hump other dogs, nor would I just stand around and let a dog hump my child for more time that it took me to stop it, but that's because dogs are social animals who respond very directly to their perceived social status in the group they're in. You don't want a dog, no matter how small, to believe that it can impose its will on a child or an adult.

Some adult dogs are pathologically fixated on humping other dogs, and in those instances dog fights are frequently the result. The owners of the humpers are responsible for controlling the behavior of their own dog, which should include keeping them leashed at all times. In the vast majority of instances, a dog that is humping a human can be shoved away successfully without having to resort to true violence, and if done with enough assertion with voice and body language it doesn't need to be repeated.

For me, the humor is in how the dog's behavior visually mimics unacceptable sexual activity without actually being sexual in nature. It's just silly-looking, and that's all.

I have 3 kids around this age, and I find it absolutely hilarious.  If it was the first one, I would have immediately tried to stop the dog, while stifling laughter.  The second one would have had the dog stopped after I called my wife in to see what was going on, and the youngest, well, I would have had to fnd my phone to record it.  The more kids you have, the less these insignifcant things bother you, and the more you can find humor in them. This doesn't make you a bad parent, just means you realize that you have relaized what really matters. I equate this to the pacifier test to tell how many kids someone has:

Pacifier falls on the floor at home:

1 kid - throw it away or boil it in bleach

2 kids - wash it off in sink with hot water and soap

3 or more kids - wipe it off on your shirt, maybe suck or lick any visible dirt off and give it back.

Yeah, fuck that parent. Nobody wants to get humped by an animal. Then the kid has to look up to see his parent recording it and laughing. I'm so tired of people thinkg it's more important to get viral video/photos then behave like a decent fucking person.
