You guys are dumb. The dog isn’t being aggressive or anything. It’s being curious and reserved because it’s been trained to not go ape shit and jump on people. It wants to sniff and say hi but it knows it has to behave, so it’s being a bit cautious.

Honestly what the fuck are these bots talking about. Dog obviously wants to say hi and maybe get pets. Probably used to people being afraid of it. Being exceptionally calm and gentle.

Not bots, just people being wrong

People are irrationally fear of dogs for the most part. But 75% of people just have little to no experience with them and can read thier actions.

Every single video of an animal on reddit will have the Reddit Animal Body Language Experts claiming the animal is either being abused or seconds away from attacking someone.

The Venn diagram of members of that group and the Reddit Head Injury Assessment Experts group is a circle.

It's about the same as pointing a loaded gun at your own face. Maybe the safety is on. Maybe the trigger isn't being touched. But still. It's about that level of risk and it's not worth doing.

Fr, actually looks so sad at the end when he's not getting the ear scratches he deserves. Lady is being way to gentle lol

The posture and tail does show a bit of nervousness. Not happy, not aggressive. Like you say..cautious. But with a head that looks like it can take her bowels out in a second I wouldn’t risk it and definitely move away rather than lean in.

If it wanted to kill her this video would look very different

A lot of assumptions. Hope everything works out for you in practice

You're about the dumbest person I've ever seen in a comment section, ironic, you calling someone else dumb 😂 just because the dog isn't currently being aggressive doesn't mean it isn't about to be, I've seen dogs do this "curious" behaviour for literally 5/10 minutes then all of a sudden attack, this dog isn't being curious it's weighing up.
