There are a lot of viral dog videos going around that are not what they appear to be.
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, and intentions to non-human entities and is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology.
Unfortunately this is a very common occurrence with animals especially our dogs.
In this video I am going to review and expose some common viral dog videos and teach you about what is actually happening vs what you may think is happening as a human.
The videos I will be reviewing in this video are
dog crys at owners grave
polar bear pets dog
dog tries to save fish
dog cries after being rescued
All of these videos are NOT what they appear and you shouldn’t believe the stories you are being told because there are very clear explanations for all the behaviors.
Finally I will talk about why there is no such thing as respect when it comes to dogs and how again thinking about dogs needing to respect you falls back to anthropomorphism and doesn’t actually acomplish anything.

Hahaha Dog ended up dead 2 days later because Polar bear killed it, very cute huh?!!
Please do a video on fake dog rescue channels on YouTube. It's preposterous what these people are doing. They are hurting and starving animals and then "rescuing" them on camera while making tens of thousands of dollars of YouTube revenue.
Ive seen my dog cry before when we put her sister down we brought her home and we let her see her first when we took her out of the garage to put the dead dog back in the garbage bag she rammed her head on the door to get to her i look at her eyes and saw a couple tears coming out of her eyes the first time I ever saw that .
You are wrong! Clearly you did not learn dog behavior.
I have a dog for 8 years. My dog does make a happy face and a sad face and an angry one too!
Itโs true they donโt smile like we do, but they do have facial expression of emotions. Ask any dog owner.
Just look at a dogโs face while heโs playing fetch or something vs when heโs being yelled at.
You said dogs donโt think of saving other animals? They donโt know fish need water to survive? Not true!
Iโll tell you a story of my dog.
I took my dog to my friendโs house and she hated it. She wanted to go back home and I ignored her. She kept barking at the door and running to me barking back and forth.
I ignored her… then she came to me holding my shoe in her mouth and threw it at me!
I swear! What does that tell you?
1- She understood that I wear shoes when going out.
2- She understood that there is a language barrier and assumed I did not understand her barking, so she tried to talk to me in my own language by using my shoe.
That kind of behavior only comes from a being that observes itโs environment and thinks rational thoughts about it.
There is no other explanation! Simple as that.
So if a dog sees fish only in the water, they will understand that fish need water to survive.
My dog also saw her sister getting hit by a car, and she ran inside the house and came to me barking like crazy and lead me outside to her dead sister who had just gotten hit less than a minute ago.
And guess what? She was crying after that the whole time for two weeks. I was crying too and she knew I was crying.
So stop assuming stuff you donโt know!
Vegans are anthropomorphising gone wrong.
I agree with you in all except for that dogs aren't capable to respect someone – this is so much not true. Not only they can respect one another, they can respect us – humans, as well. But you're right this isn't very related to not-listening to commands.
I think this is why people dont see warning signs.
So do dogs not understand when somebody dies? Like can't they smell the person under the ground?
I disagree about the respect part. Pretty much every dog challenges the owner at some point. When you show them who's in charge that earns you respect. I've also known a lot of people who's dogs walk all over them because they know the owner is a pushover. You can argue that that's because they don't reinforce any type of punishment and let the dogs get away with it, but humans and our idea of respect is the same. If I have a friend thatย lets me get away with doing whatever I want I'm not going to have any respect for him.
Great video! Please more(i.e. exposing those "guilty" dogs videos)! It's entertaining how people get massively triggered when they find out that life isn't a Disney movie after all. ๐
Talking about projecting all I have to do is think "heel" and my dog heels just the same as if I were to say "heel"
That's weir! ESP? or Not….
EPIC Video!
I've seen a lot of the comments saying how dogs don't have emotions and how they do. In my opinion i think we just really dont know much about dogs emotions
you are soo right with the respect thing
Dogs definetly have a sense of respect how would a pack of wolves function without respect
When a dog grits its teeth like that I don't call that smiling I
When my dog is doing it's happy paint that's what I call a smile
Thank you! So glad somebody pointed these out! I posted these types of videos on my FB and I tear it up by how fake they are by explaining in my veterinary knowledge LOL
you honestly don't understand dogs.. Specially the part with you talking about respect. Geez it's like sayng that you just obeyed your own mother because you are afraif of her and not coz you respect her and love her. Try to be emotionally involved with your dog first before talking shit!
Biggest dog lie out there… Dogs go to Heaven.
I totally agree that dogs do not have HUMAN emotions but science has in fact proved that they have DOG emotions. You criticize people for believing the rationale provided in these videos but then you take the same approach in an opposite manner. The dog with tears shows no signs of an eye infection and you state as a fact it has a eye infection when you do not know that. You SUPPOSE that but state it as fact. The polar bear did not end up killing the dog. You can find the entire video and story online with just a quick search. You routinely state things that are demonstrably false and your viewers believe it because you have the label "dog trainer". You should present more fact and less supposition and fiction and you would have more credibility.
Respect has to be taught, even well balanced grown dogs teach puppies how to interact with other dogs respectfully. They learn how to respectfully approach other dogs, how to play respectfully, how to give space when other dogs need it, etc etc. As humans, we can teach our dogs how to respect people too, even if we have to use treats and a training program to do that, since we can't growl or bite the same way they do. They may not grasp the concept of it at all, but they really don't need/have to. It's still all the same.
And my gosh, that polar bear story actually really angers me, if that poor dog really died 2 days later. I remember years ago how I'd see those videos online and think "I guess this is normal for sled dogs in the arctic?" Such misinformation.
Can you review the videos of dogs seeing their owner after years and how they react? Is that legitimate a happy dog crying for their missed owner or just excitement?
This vid should be called all viral hog vids exposed and u should become ricegum
Some dogs actually do smile. I have a dog who smiles when he's happy, he's not warning me to stay away from him.
My dog doesnt listen to my comands but shie listens to my mom and my mom doesnt even train her its just me and my sister !
My dog was so grateful when I rescued him that he did my taxes! Explain that!…also, I think I'm getting audited but whatevs.
About the first one…
My friend died, I went to her funeral…
She had a dog, a daughter, and two sons.
The dog went with to the funeral.
He knew what was going on.
He went to the grave, and sat next to it. He knew that's where the owners grave was because he was at the funeral, he didn't see her in a while, he watch her get lowered into the ground.
He sat on her grave, and when the people with them tried to leave, and pick him up to go, he'd growl, and try to bite them.
I know this because I witnessed it.
It was sad, and cute.
After they had to put gloves on, and pick him up to leave…
Every time they opened their door, he would come to my house, and scratch at my door.
My other dogs would go insane, and know he's there.
They loved him, and got along.
This dog knew right where my house is, and knew that his owner was at my house 24/7.
This is how she passed away….
She left my house, and overdosed on drugs, the person who overdosed her on heroin, dumped buckets of water over her head, and waited 3 hours to call an ambulance.
This is how she left…
She asked or borrow my car, I said OK. She left to that guy's house.
They killed her, took my car, and my car got impounded, cleaned, and I played to get it out of the impound lot.
The main suspect was found in Tennessee. The murder happened in New York… Suspect found in Tennessee… How?
How?
How?
How?
my dog smiles and it's not out of aggression
poor dog becomes bear food
you're attractive
I truly disagree with your point of view. Dogs are clearly emotional creatures.
dog can be trained to know/do many things. if that dog was at its owners funeral seen and smelled that his owner was going into the ground and stayed to watch the owner get ompletely buried, the dog would know that spot as the last time he smelled and or seen his owner. and dogs can cry, maybe not exactly like humans but they do have tears come out of there eyes, whine and whimper and they could cause them self to start inward sneezing like that. could it be the way your saying it in yes definitely but could that dog actually be crying, yes it definitely could be. but none of us will know for sure, unless we were there as it was happening
Thanks for you great video.
Can't dogs feel some emotions? Such as affection? You can't tell someone that animals don't feel anything, it wouldn't make any sense.
This was an interesting watch, and something I wish more people would keep in mind. My sister and I both have dogs rather than children, and there are so many of our family members that send us vids like this, and then they don't seem to get it when we're not as entertained as they are, especially with ones like the polar bear thing.
Talking about viral dog related things, I'm really curious of your thoughts on the recent ordeal with one of the dogs from the movie coming out, "A Dog's Purpose". Do you think you'll do a video about that?
Great video men the first thing you said is dogs don't smile you are so right. Thank you
You should do a video on fake service dogs, why it's dangerous and wrong.
Lately there's been a lot of media coverage on the subject and I'd love your opinion.
What I'm talking about is people lying their dog is esa, or a disability support animal, the fake online certificates and vests, etc.
What can I say – everything you say is 100% right..
can you do a video on hyper dogs
I always wondered what was wrong with the dog in the gravestone video! I knew he was not crying but I was kind of concerned about what it could be… glad to hear it's just a sneeze
I respect this man
