1:00 between the steel tuner shafts and the sharp ends of the steel strings, that girl might have really gotten hurt there (mostly dangerous to teeth and eyes).

the dog was trying to play chase, but was confused because it also to a degree registered the kid's fear.

no it isn't, that kid is genuinely terrified because of a previous traumatic experience with a dog.

there wasreal injury potential there between the teeth and eyes on one hand, and the steel tuner shafts and sharp ends of the steel strings on the other hand.

@saintyboi9258 I'd say given the really intense level of fear the kid in the video shows, that moment certainly compounded his trauma and fear of dogs. that was not a minor event, it's likely to be the worst moment of the year for the kid. the threat was not real (that dog looks very friendly), but the fear was. it being irrational and looking funny to some doesn't make it better, it just makes it worse by adding shame. I am very confident though that the dog would not have been put down, especially because there was this video that shows the kid's irrational fear and the dog looking very non-aggressive. and if there wasn't a camera, I think for the dog to be put down, there would have still had to be a bite mark on the kid.

@carlinkag2525 I both have some residual fear of dogs from my childhood, and dogs are my favourite animals. it's more comparable to fear of spiders, snakes, or rodents than to rational fear. I wouldn't even know that I had two scary encounters with dogs if my mom hadn't told me (so they must have happened before I turned 4, my first memories are from when I was 3). but whenever I get close to a dog I don't know, I tense up, and I'm very sensitive to barking. even chihuahuas scare me if they're acting appropriately demonic. on the plus side, I am extremely polite to dogs, and I'm good with fearful dogs.

the dog was doing a friendly/playful approach and was confused because it kinda thought the running away was the kid playing chase, it doesn't understand the potential for the friendly approach to be misunderstood, but itdid notice the kid looking and sounding strangely unhappy. the reaction signaling disapprovalof a friendly approach that dogs are aort of pre-programmed to understand would be either ignoring the dog, or some degree ofthreat dieplay (turning towards and staring at the dog and freezing up for example would be one). dogs normally aren't able to understand panic.

@carlinkag2525 it's very uncommon for dogs to harm humans because they see the humans as prey (pretty much only happens with small children and unusual dogs). the normal way is for dogs to see humans as a threat or competition, and fight either due to aggression, or, perhaps more commonly, because the dog feels threatened by the human being too close - which can be 50m or it can be that you stick your face into a dog's face because, like you, you have no understanding of the fact that dogs ARE dangerous animals, which is how most bad dog bite injuries happen to children (dogs often bite children's faces, causing disfigurements and loss of eyes). you're being quite silly in acting like dogs are not dangerous predators of substantial size and bite strength, in many cases bred for guarding, fighting, or hunting, and compared to many other species very fond of threat displays whose point it is to cause fear. and the practical reason to recognise dogs as potentially dangerous is in large part that a huge portion of dog owners suck and pretty much do not train and do not understand their dogs. according to the WHO: "In the United States of America for example, approximately 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year. Of these, nearly 885 000 seek medical care; 30 000 have reconstructive procedures; 3–18% develop infections and between 10 and 20 fatalities occur. Other high-income countries such as Australia, Canada and France have comparable incidence and fatality rates. Low- and middle-income country data are more fragmented, however some studies reveal that dogs account for 76–94% of animal bite injuries." you don't understand how it's even possible to see dogs as dangerous? I don't understand how ignorant you need to be to not know that they ARE dangerous. for the record again, dogs are my favourite animals, but they are animals, not plushies. and people failing to realise this are what's causing much of the danger with dogs.
