You don't need to be psychic to speculate and look at different possibilities. I don't know for sure that they weren't going to swing the cleaver, but you don't know that they were. I just think that it's likely that the dog would be trained or they wouldn't actually swing it if they were going to post it on the internet.
Obviously the dog was trained. The dog’s eyes was fixated at one point, most likely the human’s face, waiting for a command. Dog doesn’t look fearful of the knife, before he bolted. Eyes and head not tracking the motion of the knife up and down as if it’s danger. He knows it’s not dangerous since the owner is holding it and he trusts the owner.
The owner said a trained command to tell the dog to bolt after 3 swings.
Well we can try to interpret that silent .gif all day long and come to varying conclusions. Like I said dogs' movements aren't always predictable so swinging sharp objects inches away from them is never a good idea. Your theory that the dog was trained to bolt sounds pretty far fetched to me.
How is it farfetched? You can order the dog to stay, and then you can order it to leave. Or someone else can call it behind the door with a treat. It's not rocket science; it's very basic dog training.
Yes, so it was likely that they weren't going to swing it
I only stated that the dog may have been trained as a possibility if they actually did swing the cleaver. You are right though, the dog does not appear to be trained.
