I can't decide what this dog is feeling so thought I'd share and see what others think ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZuHFrawz4
Re: What do you think? He does not appear to be afraid but who knows what goes through a dog's mind. Not wishing to be a spoil sport I would not take the risk as the dog could easily panic and harm itself. Roger
Re: What do you think? Mouth looks relaxed and ears aren't back.....personally I don't like it because it's looks so unnatural ,the dog isn't showing discomfort but it looks uncomfortable if you know what I mean...where's her tail?I have a tendency to worry about tails : again,if it's tucked up , it makes me think discomfort....
Re: What do you think? Not sure about this, not normal and she looked a little anxious to me. I would never even think of putting a dog in a swing - some strange people around.
Re: What do you think? Looks a little anxious to me too, with the ears curved back in a 'I'm friendly, not a threat, please be nice to me' kind of position. Compare that to the video of the dog on the trampoline - there was no coercion there and the dog was free to stand still or move - it chose to bounce and clearly the trampolining dog was having a ball. The swinging dog....not so sure....
Re: What do you think? Seems only fair I share my thoughts ... I found it odd that the dog seemed so neutral; neither upset or having fun -just blank. Bothered me as much as if the dog was blatantly unhappy. In my mind dogs always show their feelings and always have feelings and neutral is just plain spooky!
Re: What do you think? The dog appeared to show fear when the man went to pick her up and then put her in the swing and then, as you say appeared to be blank when swinging, not showing signs of enjoying it as much as the owner said she was.
