How can you tell when the family dog has mental health problems? When it growls at its own foot, that’s when. I hate to say it but if this dog were mine he’d be straight to the vet for being an absolute nut-job.
OK, maybe that’s a little harsh, but this dog clearly isn’t all there.
Being a cat lover at heart, I don’t really understand the fascination with dogs and their smelly, aggressive natures. Cats are much more civilized creatures, not being so dependent on their human masters as dogs are.
But this one looks like he could use a friend, a playmate, someone real to fight over a bone with. And when that isn’t forthcoming, he instead takes to warning his own foot to resist stealing the bone from his mouth.
And what do the owners do? Laugh in his face and video the whole thing for the entertainment of the masses on the Internet. Brilliant.
