was the German Shepard called off, or simply return to his job of protecting his charge?

Love that!

That's beautiful

I had a mutt. He protected me and my sis quite a few times

You mean *she* was like a second mother?

So it's true that Mexico is dangerous?

While I do give credit to the owner for being right behind the dog i do hope he brought the dog back into his house and than immediately went to his neighbors house to properly apologize. I also noticed how the owner of the German Shepard was calm even though her kid was in danger and that guy was yelling at his dog even after the dog was already chased away from the boy (=he's yelling not to prevent the attack but to show the dog his displeasure) so I think the owner might be partially responsible for his dogs agression. I cant judge though, I don't know them. And for sure that german shepherd probably also saved the other dogs life, depending on where this was. In my country if a dog bites once I'm pretty sure you have to go back to training and if it's still agressive they sadly are killed, I think.

I don’t feel a lot of compassion for the neighbor. They knew their dog was aggressive towards strangers, but still thought it was a good idea to keep it. And It baffles me that people don’t pay for dog training and choose to gamble their dogs life and the lives of others. This guy is lucky the dog didn’t bite the kid, otherwise he could’ve gone to court for it.

@@s.e.e455 it might be possible he didn’t know it was this aggressive. Maybe he just thought his dog was defensive.

@@rhyswerner1748 When the neighbour reaches for the aggressive dog to control it, the dog reacts to it and the neighbour retracts his hand as fast as possible. This neighbour knows darn well how shitty of a dog they have.

@@Zzinck ohhhhhh I see it now

The Shepherd was probably just flexing its territory and not looking to attack your dog, or any of your group. Of course there are always exceptions and your Shelty wasn't going to take any chances. So while this was (ultimately) probably a non-threatening situation, your Shelty was there for you whatever come what may!

Always on alert even when it's fun & games. Some breeds are like that. Now a Boxer will do the same but it needs more time to process, a German Shepherd has a heightened situational awareness, much like Dobermanns and Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

It's the best dog breed for a reason

Shepherd dogs are always ready to go full rambo. I have no idea why people prefer pitbulls to shepherds.

Me either . Germans are way smarter dogs

the dogs weren't even concerned with the kid

Edited; since I've received two negative responses from those who can't comprehend basic English, I've decided to rewrite it so a 3rd grader could understand. Yes Carl I'd say that you're correct.

@@miachelsanta7763the owner has two dogs. The all-black and the shepherd. My guess the second doggo was just back up.

@@miachelsanta7763the light coloured dog (German shepherd) is the hero. The small dark dog, is from same household as the German shepherd I would think. And that dog came to help the German shepherd when see the German shepherds reaction to the other dog. The long legs dark dog (first one running in the video) was the assaulter. You can see that the assulter dog came from the house, and as soon as it ran past it’s owner, he ran after it trying to stop it. Now the only thing that I find unclear is; did the assult dog see the German shepherd at attacking the boy and want to save the boy, but came in a way that seemed like an attack in itself or did it see them playing and wanted to join, no fence or lead stopping it, so it ran over to play, but the run was too aggressive, so others reacted as if the dog was attacking or last scenario; the assault dog decided to attack the boy. Now if that is true, they need to check for mental illnesses in the dogs brain (there is a illness in dogs that they get in the brain, that some get where they simply attack for no reason and the only cure, for it is to unfortunately have to put them down) Plus you can not trust a dog that attacks like that as much anymore. My own husky was attacked by an off leash dog, where his tail was bitten. Over 4 years ago, and he still reacts to some other dogs. However we keep our dog on lead 100 % of the time. Since they are animals, you can never 100% control them, at the end of the day, nature is their strongest instinct. The good and bad side of it as shown on this video. Hope that helped

As a teenager I got taken by a friend into a not so good neighborhood where a lot of the people fought dogs in a hidden vacant field behind them. They had some pit bulls that would scare the life out of you... But they claimed one of the toughest dogs was a German Shepherd which I saw. It was not scary, but they said it knew how to latch on to the side of the pitbull's face and just dominate it.

The other dog was limping. I think he got him

That shepherd almost gotbthe other dog in the face with a bite. Lol

They better be giving him steak every day.

Looks like it was keeping the child from the street but who knows. That thing across the street needs to be put down immediately. children aren't safe in that community which is unacceptable.

Just to put a twist on that, my grandmas German Shepard bit me when I was 4 and I had to go to hospital

Not all of them. My aunt's Sheppard bit her five year old granddaughter, a couple of nicks no stitches needed but had to keep her away from little ones.

I guess with those two accounts with kids I stand corrected 🤷‍♂️

This whole “this breed is good. This breed is bad” mentality is why people say any pit bull should be put down. It’s all down to how they’re raised. The problem with certain breeds is that they are more powerful than others. A playful accidental bite might be no big deal with one breed, but that same bite from a pit bull or something else with really powerful jaws can be way more devastating. Don’t blame the breeds Don’t own a dog that you would not be able to physical overpower if you had to. Even the best trained dogs have bad days too. Dogs have a lot of the same emotions as humans. Which means they can be pushed to anger too

@@shredseeker8420 I disagree, you are not wrong. It’s like saying only humans are bad, only men are bad. Only women are bad, or any one of them are good. It all comes to the difference and personality and situation and everything else and their upbringing and experiences Of course each breed has its strengths and weaknesses, but it’s not just about the breed but also how they were raised and what environment and situation makes them tick. Some dogs are just perfect for family while others are not at all. We have a husky and I have seen a lot of videos with huskies. They are aggressive or they destroy the house. Our husky is a cuddle Bear and he doesn’t destroy the house at all and he could easily be next to small children (has been too) he is a gentle giant without the ‘get off my face’ attitude but the ‘what are you doing to my face’ and talking to you in a wonder and complaint. But not all huskies are like that

If you can't recall your dog you really just haven't put the effort in. And in my experience as a delivery driver most people cannot recall their dogs. Usually the dog is not being aggressive but the utter lack of control over the dog is pretty sad given we literally selectively bred this species into existence specifically to listen to our verbal commands.

To be fair it seems to me like the owner lost control for a mere split second and the dog was zooming out.... He immediately went after the dog. The dog was like a missile locked in on that child. I mean YEAH the dude is responsible for his dog, but I can see how this is an honest mistake. That dog though..... For whatever reason that dog is HYPER aggressive. It had NO hesitation, no thoughts about anything. For some reason it just immediately became dead focused on attacking that kid which is so bizarre to me. Maybe certain breeds were bred to be hyper aggressive like that.... Either way that dog is going to need intense training to be safe....
