espinay2 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Stressed dog. I wouldn't exactly call it 'cute'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I see a dog trying to investigate a noise, disturbed by the noise and slight prey drive posture but the video kept glitching so can't say it was prey drive for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnauzer Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 IMO the dog is showing signs of stress and anxiety - in particular licking his lips. Not cute.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Stressed dog. I wouldn't exactly call it 'cute'! I thought the dog looked/appeared stressed too. I'd be worried that the dog would eventually climb up onto the side table and into the cot to investigate further and end up accidentally squashing the baby. Not what I call cute either.

Bjelkier Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Confused and then moved to slightly stressed/worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozzie Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This dog has a natural maternal instinct. When a newborn girl cries, he goes right to her side. This is incredibly sweet. What a lot of hooha. And the SIDs risk with that cot bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I saw anxiety and stress, and a lot of confusion. Certainly not a happy or relaxed dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Jac Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This dog has a natural maternal instinct. When a newborn girl cries, he goes right to her side. This is incredibly sweet. What a lot of hooha. And the SIDs risk with that cot bumper Yes. Why are they still used? The video could be used to demonstrate what not to do. A stressed dog and a cot bumper - a disaster waiting to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I saw a dog getting stressed that it could not see the source of the crying... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 IMO the dog is showing signs of stress and anxiety - in particular licking his lips. Not cute.... Yep, totally agree.. I wish everyone knew the basic signs of stress in dogs.. This reminds me of another video that was doing the rounds not long ago - a lab and a little kids and the kid was trying to avoid the dog and the dog was putting its paws on the kid - it was pushed as 'beautiful' and 'cute'.. I don't think either video is cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
