This is Cosmo. He doesn't believe in stranger danger. Because strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. 13/10 (TT: lawdogcosmo)

It’s cute but it’s fake. It’s filmed inside an apartment and entering into a bathroom. The dog obvs knows the “maintenance man.” Sorry guys - clickbait. Fake. But doggo cuteness is real!

Your dog needs company. Spending so much time in solitary confinement is torture to emotional creatures. Get a cat, another dog but please people your pets aren’t just playthings you can put in a closet when not convenient. 16 hrs a day min. alone w/no companionship is just cruel. Be good to them

You’re right, my bad. It’s just so many do I felt compelled to make people reconsider the impact it has on their fur babies. Just like how we can forget how badly hot pavement can burn their paws when walking them. Just seen too many suffering & abused animals that educating becomes a compulsion.

Mine, too. All 130 pounds of him has OCD. If something doesn't belong in his territory, he will bark until the unfamiliar person/object is removed. This includes random power tools that traverse the living room. I wish he was more chill. (He's super sweet when there is no fence or door.)

Exactly! They take a cue from us about what/who belongs. If people walking down the street stop to talk to me, he immediately stops barking. He figures he's done his job. Now it's my problem. I wish he was as easy to convince about cats and squirrels.

True. But I encountered two goldens owned by the same ahole and they were the most vicious aggressive animals in any dog park I've ever seen. They immediately ran thru the gate and just started attacking dogs left n right before launching into mine. It got ugly. Ahole people make ahole dogs.

Rebels: Explains why neighbor’s 2 German Shepherds were so aggressive. Deceased now. Unfortunately, neighbor alive and well, has 2 new dogs, 1 a German Shepherd pup. It acts up, calling animal control

Pit bulls are rightly banned in some countries because of their bite strength and the possibly lethal consequences when their owners are arseholes. My neighbor shouldn’t own German Shepherds, relieved the dogs are dead. Ownership of certain breeds should be regulated

Pup is probably lonely, locked up alone for too long. 😢 I don't understand why people think it's OK to keep high energy dogs in an apartment or locked in the house all day. Does he ever get to run off leash? At least he's not stuck in a crate. (no, they DON'T "like it")

My friend lives at the edge of a park with their pitbull. The dog whines all day long because he has to watch dozens of strangers come and go that he can't go out and become immediate friends with. He loves every single person he meets. It's his life's goal to befriend the universe.

A dog will protect YOU, not your property. He has no concept of property. As a decorator, I know dogs that will bark like mad when I first come to see a client, will not say a word when I let myself in, while the family is at work.
