No way would I stand calmly on the escalator with a dog waiting for me! My ass would run down, probably trip, and roll into the dog.

Why is that dog being filmed without a leash in a crowded public place?
bitchhappens
this is true love
I.. Really wouldn't be leaving a doberman sitting in front of a public escalator. It's pretty unmindful for people who are afraid of dogs.
Tbh, it's unmindful to anyone. Dobermans can be very aggressive if kept badly. There's no way knowing that before you're next to it.
LarthanDelaponte
Replace 'dobermans' with 'any dog' - been attacked by a lab and a poodle before. Supposedly "nice family dogs" according to their people.

You're basing him being a prick on a 1.5 second long section of the video? For all you know he put down what he was carrying and then played

steviedrawsdinos
True. Crops are often done for good reason. We considered it with our Dane because he wags his tail so hard with no regard for what he hits.

jacksparrah
All I can think is if someone was afraid of large dogs, this probably fucking ruined their day. Dobes are scary looking fuckers ON a leash.
Was thinking the exact same. IMO this is very irresponsible and unmindful dog ownership.
shutyourpieholedouche
The owners also an asshole for mutilating its ears like that. The tail is because they break them all the time but the ears are unnecessary
Why is this getting downvoted?! I would have thought imgur was against unnecessary surgery on dogs just to make them look cool :/
That's a weirdly specific scenario. Doberman's being "scary-looking" isn't exactly a hard fact. Are we just not supposed to have dogs?
HoldingAccount
Which is scarier: a shih-tzu or a doberman? People are more afraid of big muscular dogs than little floofballs.
That just kinda proves my point, how afraid you are of certain dogs is subjective. I'd find dobermans less scary than pitbulls.
It is subjective to a point, but you can't possibly disagree that people are more afraid of big dogs that are bred for fighting.
Sure, I get what you mean.
Having a dog OFF LEASH and THAT close to the only way off an escalator, to me, is totally unnecessary
Oh definitely, it's unnecessary. Unwise, even.
In Finland, it is illegal to keep a dog off leash in cities. Punishable by fine.
MrFastZombie
fineland
infernopg
same in Austria, not that people fucking care :( as someone who is afraid of dogs i'm really happy for responsible owners that do though
I'm with you that leaving him without a leash wasn't wise but I don't see how it's anyone else's fault that some random person has a phobia.
AsleepByDay
There is an element of being considerate, being wary of large dogs is far from unreasonable.
I think wariness around strange dogs is quite usual. Why cause people grief if it can be easily avoided?
My issue here is that he's off leash and EXTREMELY close to the only exit to the escalator. He could at least be 5-6 feet away.
Eh, I guess. I don't think someone being scared of him is the main issue with that, I'd be worried that he'd get lost or into something.
SpectorWillLurk
Some are afraid of people carrying bombs. Shouldn't stop others from bomb-walking if they personally know they're not gonna actually use it.
...What? That's insane. Dogs and bombs are not the same thing.
Owner may know the dog is harmless and person carrying a bomb knows they're not gonna harm anyone, but strangers have reason to be worried.
I mean bless you for trying to save the analogy but it still doesn't work.
Being worried about a big unleashed dog isn't phobia. It's common sense. Dogs can be aggressive if they've been abused by the owner etc.
I see what you mean here.

No, but the point stands that phobias are a personal responsibility. My mum's phobia is birds but she doesn't want them removed from cities.
No one is suggesting to remove dogs from cities, just don't park them in a major thoroughfare where people cannot avoid it (1/2).
(2/2) The more so if it is unleashed. My friend would've frozen on the escalator and had a panic attack-she's trying to get over her fear.
*driveway or at the bottom of an escalator. ( on my phone, hence the error)
paradoxillogic
The mentality of being terrified of dogs needs to go away. Even if it is from a childhood bite, get over it. Most dogs are friendly.
Nope. That's a ridiculous idea. Most berries aren't poisonous but that leaves you a lot to lose if you go around tasting all the berries.
That's not good survival instinct.
If you don't respect that, then you don't really respect dog's. Even a friendly dog will happily murder a small animal and not feel bad.
you aren't family. We have to chain them up when people come and some of them have broken chains before. They are still animals.
..Yeah I never really understood why the fuck people get highly aggressive guard dogs just to fail their training. Must be insecurity issues
Mum didn't train them any special way, we just lived in the country and I think something about it made the dog's territorial.
Not training can be the problem though. There are many breeds that can be very aggressive without proper training.
bad but not all are good, it's fucking insane to assume all are safe. My mums dog's are definitely guard dogs, you cant go near them if 2/3
I was bitten in the face by a dog as a child, I know of another in my neighborhood who lost a leg. Dog's fucking kill people. Not all are1/2
GhostTasha
It can be very, very dangerous to assume most dogs are friendly...
Lol. Down vote me if you guys like. Walking around terrified of every canine is stupid. Not telling you to go pet them.
Even if you don't pet them, there are plenty of dog's who, if escaped, will attack you on sight.
(Hello fellow Tasha)
woohoo
Oh man, I have no idea what happened haha
I saw your comment at -2 and upvoted you. I have a dobie and not everyone likes large dogs, much less unleashed large dogs.
ayrehead
I grew up with Dobermans. It's sad they get such a bad rep. All mine were big sucks and just wanted to dig holes and sleep on the couch.
sublime29
My dobe was a sweet girl. She ran away once and was beat by a man and didn't like stranger men anymore. People are jerks.
In my opinion, it's the small breeds that are the most apt to bite nowadays.
That's always been the case. It's just that bigger breeds can kill or maim when they do bite.
Which is why obedience training is so important.
xfumo
So true. It's not often you encounter owners who do obedience training with small dogs cuz they view them as "harmless". It's bs. 1
All dogs should be trained regardless of the size. Too many times I've needed to remove my dogs from a park cuz of a misbehaving ankle biter

Even if you don't pet them, there are plenty of dog's who, if escaped, will attack you on sight.

I saw your comment at -2 and upvoted you. I have a dobie and not everyone likes large dogs, much less unleashed large dogs.

I grew up with Dobermans. It's sad they get such a bad rep. All mine were big sucks and just wanted to dig holes and sleep on the couch.

My dobe was a sweet girl. She ran away once and was beat by a man and didn't like stranger men anymore. People are jerks.

In my opinion, it's the small breeds that are the most apt to bite nowadays.

That's always been the case. It's just that bigger breeds can kill or maim when they do bite.

Which is why obedience training is so important.

So true. It's not often you encounter owners who do obedience training with small dogs cuz they view them as "harmless". It's bs. 1

All dogs should be trained regardless of the size. Too many times I've needed to remove my dogs from a park cuz of a misbehaving ankle biter
