No, he knew it was the owner and it looked to me as tho he'd had a few "thrashings" in the past. As they always say its down to how you bring them up no matter what breed it is...
him cowering shows that once he realised he was barking at his owner he was remorsefull.
anthropomorphism
No it did not it knew it was about to be hit by the "pack leader" and it instinct is to cower when this happens. We cannot even get remorse from every human never mind a dog.
Jeez, you're a regular Dr Doolittle ain't cha.
Pretty much all theory and someone else's at that. As yet, apart from yourself of course, no one has been able to actually communicate with a dog on a one to one so we don't know what they think. There are plenty of people who have thought they understand animals and bear the scars to show how wrong they can be. I bet Steve Irwin though he was a right clever dick until he got a Stingrays tail through his left ventrical.
Take a look at elephant and killer whales just as an example. They are supposedly trained and conditioned, docile and compliant. Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, turn on their handlers, sometimes maiming or even killing.
I don't know if you'll put that down to instinct. I'd say they've just had enough. In my mind that equates to a decision.
Of course. I've never had a chat with either, so it's only my theory and I wouldn't want to fight you over it. 😆
This is why we should be allowed to carry firearms at all time.
Yup,so we can shoot the owners.
Result.
Why can't they just get a nice ickle fwuffy hamster, or something? You can't get weaponised breeds of hamster can you?
Or a nice puddy tat? Then have their self-esteem slowly eaten away by it's withering contempt, rather than someone else's arm literally eaten away by it's owners ****-witedness?

Did you have bad night last night or was it a lobotomy 😉
Owning pets should be banned, what a backward arrogant way to treat animals.
Richard Ballantine in his bicycle book recomended ramming a bike pump down a dogs throat, just as it made its first lunge at your leg,
Id prefer to just batter the owner round the head with a bag od dog shit from another dog, and left at the side of the road just for that reason.

You don't think, given half a chance, Professor Fluffikins wouldn't make us their bitch?
We just got there first.
Oh and when passing an obviously agressive dog just say to it, and whats up set you today doggy,having a bad day are we.
The look on the owners face is priceless, as to them its a fighting aggressive animal totally devoid of any sentiment from them..
Haha. He said botom!

Don't think of them as pets, think of it as mutual symbiosis. Without dogs it's debatable whether we as a species would be the same in evolutionary terms and without us, they wouldn't have anyone to feed them.

If they are not pet then they are food. 😯
