yes. 100%.

not my fault for your lack of education in genetics. this is really easy to comprehend though. perhaps you should head to your nearest bookstore and pick out Scientific American magazine and check out Biology section as well.
 
i didnt watch the video yet due to blocking here ..

all my life that i adopted the mutt dogs and did adopt pure breed. I can see big difference between mutt and breed. Mutt doggies are so smart!! what smore mutt dog lives longer than pure breed. So i stick with the mutt dogs.
 
Id have to argue that a bit... if a breed is a working dog, they will "work" and learn, if a breed is a "lap dog" they just lay around, being lazy.... they wont do anything. My husky for example is a working dog, but their genetics has them hardwired of NOT pleasing the owners, so mine learned some commands and even working with Storm for 6 months on a daily basis, she still refused to obey commands although she knew them, she was stubborn.
 
I took a peek at it. this dog definintly is a mutt. I cant tell what mixed breed this dog was.
 
Its a pit.... you can tell by how it locks on, even with people kicking it he doesn't let go ( a common pit movement) a normal dog will let go run around and return with opportunities, a pit will hold on reguardless like it is in the video. Watch a bull fight when they send in a pit, the bull will crush a pit and the pit will never release .
Simular to the animal worker that was attacked

it's not because they were "hardwired" to be a working dog or lap dog... there's no such a thing.

they were SELECTIVELY BRED for it... meaning a certain breed has an advantage over other breeds for a specific function. a working dog is typically stronger and more durable to handle harsh weather whereas... a lap dog is smaller and not very muscular.

if your dog refused to obey your commands - it's you, not her.

Not the case.. My wife is a certified dog trainer ( obiedience ) and Storm has been through obiedience school as well, I was told by several people that a Husky will never make a service dog because they don't aim to please their owners...fact. So, I will have to go with a breed I really don't want.

simple - it's just this dog who is apparently not interested in being a service dog... not the breed.

or that dog probably didn't respond well to your wife's training method. who knows. a "certified dog trainer" doesn't really mean much to me. I've done my time as a dog rehabilitator for a state dog shelter. most of dogs I deal with are pitbulls. I'll give her 10 dogs and I can guarantee you that your wife won't be successful with most of them.

it's all about finding a right dog with right personality and right temperance for the right job.
 
Dogs don't "aim to please" people... they do what is reinforcing for them, or what they consider "safe". Huskies as a breed are meant to be independent workers and are considered an "aloof" breed. A dog that has been traditionally thought of as "wanting to please" <again, that's a bit of a myth> does things because it is part of the nature of the breed to do a specific task that they enjoy and because they have been bred to work in strong partnership with a person. If working with a person gets them "good stuff" <what the dog considers is "good stuff"> and is "safe", they will do that.

Service dogs don't aim to please people either - they do what they've been reinforced for doing. And/or because working with someone can be intrinsically rewarding for them- self-reinforcing.

I'm very sad for what happened to the little girl in the video.

By the way, the vast majority of the time, dogs don't attack or grip "out of nowhere" < the exception would be a true medical thing like a seizure where the dog bites, or other physical brain malfunction...the latter being even more rare>
dogs are constantly giving off tiny, subtle signals that signal emotions/intent, way before the large and obvious types of behaviors seen in the video. Most people miss them.

:roll: at media's titling of this incident - "A 4-year-old girl is badly mauled by a dog and the horrific attack is caught on surveillance video. WABC reports."

I don't know about you but when a child was treated for puncture wounds on her right arm and leg and released from a local hospital... that is nowhere close to "badly mauled".

"Badly mauled" would require several days at hospital and surgeries including plastic surgeon and a dog would be taken away by animal control and put to death and the owner would be arrested.

lol... it was mauled though, the thick clothing might have helped some.

more like - "bitten"

"maul" is where your face or arm or leg has severe laceration and extensive damage from a dog tearing your meat out of your bone.

Incorrect!

If an animal mauls someone, it attacks them and injures them with its teeth or claws (= long sharp nails). maul verb (ANIMAL) - definition in British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionary Online

The little girl was mauled by the dog since she got puncture wounds.

A puncture wound is a forceful injury caused by a sharp, pointed object that penetrates the skin.

Is it time for you to admit your mistake? Come on, guy. We know you are not perfect, either.

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2: No wonder black women call black men dogs because they act like dogs. So they are comparable.

I see... a dictionary... wonderful :roll:

if you actually check with the laws.. you will not see a word "maul". depending on where you live but most of "vicious dog" law actually states that depending on type of injury like a person got injured by a bite or clawing and depending on history, a dog owner will simply get a summon. if there was a complaint against him about his dog being vicious... then he will be in a bigger trouble.

"maul" is what media invented to scare people into banning pitbulls. informally - we all know the differences between "maul" and "bite".

Offensive to you, how? You are not even Black. They used to call black men dogs but the new term is a player, even though it means the same thing. Alot of black men chase white women just like male dogs chase female dogs, no matter what breed they are. That's why.
