I feel awful after seeing that poor helpless dog.

Sorry OP, I'm not looking man.

I've two dogs, I love 'em to bits. I've a massive soft spot for dogs, and I can't look at that clip.

But hey, merry Christmas ~ and happy cycling if like me you're out for a spin on Christmas day (ppl, we both use the cycling forum).

Likewise - I've a couple of Newfs, maybe it's me, but I thought it said a lot about dogs - a cat wouldn't have done that!!

I get you, I've seen similar clips and yes dogs are amazing.

I've a cat too, I swear she's just praying for the day I die so she can laugh and eat me.

+1 Dark Crystal. Cats are contrary to popular, social animals. They may not have the rigid familial structure of say wolves, but neither do dogs. They both form loose associations among their peers, both animals and human and can get very stressed if one of them is hurt or dies. And it can be cross species too. Where dogs get very protective over cats they've grown up with and vice versa. A relative has a dog and a cat and they fight... well... like dogs and cats, but woe betide anyone who looks sideways at one of them, because if you do, you'll have a cat in full claws and teeth mode or a dog on bitey set to kill.

In my teens I knew this fantastic oul wan who had this mad cat. A mad cat that was more wild than tame and would take food from anyone in the neighbourhood. The woman passed away and that same "wild" cat cried for days, running into weeks outside her now closed door and refused food from her usual providers around the area. It only started to eat again when her sister took her in and it had become very thin by that stage. He got better though. Indeed outlived the sister for whom he cried too and then went to live with one of the daughters. The fecker lived to be 18 after going through two generations.

Cats are tw@ts - the cat above is clearly checking it's dead mate to see if he's carrying a wallet. That, or seeing if he'd be comfortable enough to sleep on while still warm......

Only kidding - we've three cats along with the Newfs. Two of the cats have no interest in the dogs and ignore them. Newfs being Newfs just can't be ar$ed to give the cats any attention.

Cat #3 - the youngest - thinks it's a Newf, and not just any Newf, it thinks it's the head Newf. It constantly 'attacks' them, and when not doing that it uses one or the other as a bed. Again, Newfs being Newfs just go along with the game.

All the cats belong to my wife - the first two, I'm convinced, are planning to kill me in my sleep and make it look like an accident because I brought the dogs into their house!

I don't think it's a sad video at all, I think it's beautiful and inspiring the capacity for compassion that other animals have, and that compassion transcends species barriers. I really think people could learn a thing or two from them. We all need compassion, we're hard-wired for it as are many other animals. It's one of those things thats essential for a healthy mind, practising compassion is a powerful tool in dealing with mental illness and science supports that. One of those things not to be underestimated.

I'm sure you've all seen countless cute animal videos of this kind of thing, earlier I watched a video of a monkey resuscitating another monkey after it was shocked from train lines or something, but I see stuff like this every day, we like to think it's unusual but it's really not, just that we're obsessed with recording everything now -_-

I have so many examples just from my own cats who I don't live with anymore and don't get to see very often, but you should see how they react to me when they hear my voice on Skype. Yet my sister whenever she visits expects them to react to her the same as me, just coz we look alike, but theyre not stupid

Aw, no. I've a dog of my own and I love him to bits. He's been a near constant companion to me and my friends and family for years. He's middle aged now and he's still as lively and active as he was when he was just a cute little ball of fluff who loved chasing me around the house and ate the sh*t out of my runners and socks.

I couldn't stand to watch that video. In a film or TV show, you can show me people getting killed or being hurt and I'm very 'meh' about the whole thing.

But show me a dog getting killed or hurt (or even worse, a heroic dog), and I'll be blubbering like a baby.

I love my doggie and he loves me back so much. I think I'll go give him a big cuddle, just because.

Sad but makes you think about what they think about9the dogs that is). My own dog is smarter than a lot of people.
The cat, on the other hand?
She looks at me like I owe her money.

They eat dogs in Asia.

Sounds like a spin-off idea for a recent RTE drama featuring feral animals...
