The GIF Thread, v. Do Over

[rumborak]

That's a weird prank to play. It's more of a prank on the viewer than the actual person, right?

[BlobVanDam]

It's probably from an ad or something. Faked perspective only works from a very specific view, and in person you'd clearly see that it's fake from that distance.

[kári]

Not to mention all the noise that would make.

[Grizz]

I don't really understand this one...

Neither do I, but I can't stop laughing 

I dunno, something about a sportscaster watching deviled eggs get mass produced and loving every second of it?

"Sportscaster?" 

Did I miss something

[Jaffa]

I think 'sportscaster' is a bit of a stretch for professional wrestling.

I think 'sportscaster' is a bit of a stretch for professional wrestling. 

Especially as that's not what he does anyway. At least not for about 20 years.

The kid owns the cat, the cat proves they're not all assholes.

The kid owns the cat, the cat proves they're not all assholes.

Hooray for the cat.....although I doubt it cared about the kid, it probably just noticed a good chance to take it to a dog 


But, That'd be one dead dog had that been one of my kiddos.....don't care where or who it ran back to, I'd have found it and put an end to it's dangerous, attacking ways.......

***edit***  Just read the article about it and it said the kid needed stitches and the dog came back and tried to bite the Mom, that it was a neighbors dog and that the dog is currently "under observation" I'm sorry.....I love dogs just as much as the next dog lover but the only observation you should be having of that dog right now is it being creamated or buried. Once ANY dog attacks ANYONE it should be 'nighty night' for them. 

[rumborak]

100% agree.

[Podaar]

Yup, time for that animal to take a dirt nap.

[Phoenix87x]

Yup, time for that animal to take a dirt nap.

Absolutely, that dog's got to go.

Yeah for the cat though.

Not only did the cat maul the dog knocking off the kid and backwards....after the cat kind of gained its composure, took a look at the kid...it spins around and then chases the dog even more    that was pretty cool!

[TioJorge]

Pretty much. I love owners who think they're entitled to own an animal that is vicious and destructive; they're completely blind. I've had to kill a dog after one nearly shredded up my previous dog and my poor dooder simply lost the fight... Then the other fucker REALLY lost. Absolutely drives me nuts seeing that... I love dogs too, but there's no excuse for that... That kind of behavior is either learned by training or by the feral wilderness.

That is pretty awesome of that kitty though. That looks like a pretty nice community though...definitely a trained killer; especially given the way the dog looks like he was just out looking for something to attack. Cocksuckers.

[Bolsters]

The Youtube video shows a little more. From the footage, it appears the dog just goes straight for the kid once it realises he's there. Definitely not the kind of animal that should be roaming the streets.

According to the uploader (it appears to be the kid's father) the owner was bitten also while trying to get the dog into their yard. A photo of the kid's wound is shown at the end, too.

Gary,

I just spoke with Mrs. P about this--she's somewhat of an authority since she was once the director of our county animal control--she indicates that when they say the dog is under observation, they are just waiting to see if the dog has rabies. Observation is less costly than killing the dog first and then having to dissect its brain to look for rabies. They obviously need to know so the bite victims can get shots if needed (which, I hear, is a horrible regimen that one does not take lightly). She says that either way the dog is a gonner.

[Chino]

I'll be the odd man out. I feel bad for the dog. Like really bad for the dog. It's only eight months old and has a shitty owner. There's plenty of time to get it into the home of a good handler.

[puppyonacid]

I actually feel the same Chino. But then I ask myself how I'd feel if it was my kid. It's not worth risking it. The way that dog goes for the kid - had that cat not been around, or an adult then I hate to think what may have happened. It's not punishment for the dog. It's just a better safe than sorry measure. But I know what you mean.

Much as the cat is cool and all, I'm going to echo what someone else hinted at here - I'm not convinced the cat was protecting the kid. I'd absolutely love to believe it was but I think the cat would have done what it did whether the kid was there or not.

Makes sense.

I can empathize with this sentiment....is it really the dogs fault? Maybe not completely....it's too bad it has a crappy owner. But 'rehabbing' this dog is out of the question IMO.

It's not worth risking it. The way that dog goes for the kid - had that cat not been around, or an adult then I hate to think what may have happened.

It stalked, charged and attacked a child. I'm in favor for hanging a person for doing something like that to a child so I'd definately feel just fine and sleep well at night sending this vicious animal off to never never land.

Yep pretty much what I think.

[orcus116]

I dunno, can you fix that dog's brain wiring at this point?

[Chino]

100% definitely. Especially at only 8 months. We have Orcas at Seaworld who have drowned people and trainers still get in the water with them.... and that's an animal with far more complicated brain function.  I'd take that dog if given the chance.

If any dog ever did that to either one of my kids, they'd get a bullet to their brain.  I don't care how old they are, how well behaved they are, or who their owner is.

This thread needs a funny GIF...soon.

It's not a matter of "good owner makes for a happy dog." For a decent shot at rehabilitation a professional like an animal behaviorist is needed. The cause of aggression has to be determined, as there is a whole host of different classifications of aggression types. Then there's the actual time that needs to be spent with the animal, training it, removing triggers and whatnot. Even then, the success rate is nowhere near 100%.

From the ASPCA website:

Taking into account the behavior modification techniques that affect aggression, our current understanding is that the incidence and frequency of some types of aggression can be reduced and sometimes eliminated. However, there’s no guarantee that an aggressive dog can be completely cured. In many cases, the only solution is to manage the problem by limiting a dog’s exposure to the situations, people or things that trigger her aggression. There’s always risk when dealing with an aggressive dog. Pet parents are responsible for their dogs’ behavior and must take precautions to ensure that no one’s harmed. Even if a dog has been well behaved for years, it’s not possible to predict when all the necessary circumstances might come together to create “the perfect storm” that triggers her aggression. Dogs who have a history of resorting to aggression as a way of dealing with stressful situations can fall back on that strategy. Pet parents of aggressive dogs should be prudent and always assume that their dog is NOT cured so that they never let down their guard.

Sometimes instinct is instinct and nothing can be done about it. Maybe that dog will never attack again, but that's not a risk I'd be willing to take.

[TioJorge]

This is how it should have ended...

They take on each other's identities...chilling in a bar with their billions... AND THEN HANK SHOWS UP AND JUST LAUGHS AND LETS IT GO and they all live happily ever after.

Took me a second to realize that was actually Cranston and Paul. Awesome.

Mrs. P is correct!! They waited (10) days and that was enough.....



The dog who attacked a 4-year-old outside his California home before the child’s pet cat heroically intervened was euthanized on Saturday, it was reported.

The Labrador-Chow mix was put down following a 10-day evaluation after it suddenly attacked little Jeremy Triantafilo outside his Bakersfield home, TMZ reported.

The child survived with a nasty bite and a ten stitch wound to his leg after his family’s pet cat, Tara, bolted towards the dog and went berserk. The amazing rescue was recorded by a home surveillance camera.

Erica and Roger Triantafilo appears on NBC's 'Today' to talk about the video of their hero cat, Tara, coming to the rescue of their son Jeremy, who was being attacked by a dog.
 The dog was taken to a local animal shelter, where it remained aggressive after its capture and even tried to bite a couple of workers, the website reported.

Jeremy’s mother, Erica, has said that the dog would likely be put to sleep after the attack.

Tara, the family’s cat, raced outside to rescue Jeremy, holding the dog off and chasing it after she scared it away.  ABC15 The dog tried to pull the 4-year-old boy toward the sidewalk.  ABC15 Jeremy had been playing outside on his bike when he was attacked by a dog. Previous
Next ....Enlarge ABC15 “The animal can be rehabilitated by the family possibly, but from what I understand, that’s a long and difficult procedure to get the dog back in their (the owner’s) care,” she told NBC’s “Today” on May 15.

I understand how people get attached to their dogs and everything, but from a certain point you have to go with what Will Ferrell said: ".... you're a fucking dog."
