This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
Wow❤️❤️
Like Peg says in Lady and the Tramp - “What a dog!” What a very, very good girl. Manchis deserves at least double the belly rubs
We do not deserve dogs.
My dog protects me from all the delivery vans that stop in the street each day, USPS, Amazon, UPS, Fedex, Uber, Pizza delivery, it's a full time job.
Amazing!!
100/100 Good Girl!! ❤️
OMG
Wow, what a smart and brave dog.
she extinguished it with her TEETH! 🥺
this is traumatic. i hope she'k ok.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! Super Dog!!
Best girl!
I love this, but it does remind me of something I saw where a guy threw a stick of dynamite out onto a frozen lake to create a hole and his Labrador ran out and fetched it back. Glad that didn't happen here.
Cowards attack journalists.
Pity she didn't pick up the dynamite, chased the asshole and stuck it up his proverbial...still very impressed!
It makes me cry! I think this is a 15/10… if you don’t mind me saying
14? Fourteen? Come on WeRateDogs! This is “Infinity and beyond/ 10
Holy cow! DOG OF THE YEAR!!!!
bad enough someone targeted the journalist, but how the heck can someone follow through when a beautiful dog will take the brunt of it?? 😭😭 15/10 best dog
Because people are awful. And animals are the best things.
😮
Awesome!
So happy she wasn't hurt.
I wonder what story she was working on…
Holy cow. You need a new rating scale for dogs like this.
That's not a good girl, that's the next patron saint
Brave Manchis, loyal to her human family.
This made me cry. She's the best.
Dogs are our personal angels
What kind of soulless ghoul throws dynamite at a dog?!?
They threw it at the house in order to harm the journalist.
Yes I understand, but then the dog was right there…and they threw it anyway…
best girl 💖
Wee?
WOW!
😮 Oh, Manchis! So brave!! 👏🐶😂🫶
How did she stop the explosive??
The goodest girl. Steak for life!
Manchis is the bestest girl! Gold star, my love 🏆
I think you need a new scale for Manchis. Alerting everyone of the intruders and extinguishing dynamite! Needs a special award and some treats.
40/10 for this girl. Crikey, the courage.
WITH HER TEETH latamjournalismreview.org/news/stick-o...
¡Heroe! Quince puntos, lo minimo. She’s a hero. No less than 15 points is warranted. Good dog!
Gave me anxiety I thought it was a firework and the dog was going to get hurt 😑
I'm going to have to join the petitions for a higher score here. There are trained human first responders who couldn't have done that well. Good girl, Manchis.
In the USA the cops would have let the explosive go off killing whoever bcuz they suck at being cops.
Too right! 15/10
I was thinking the same. I scrolled up to look at the score. It should be at least 40/10.
Wish we could give awards like Reddit. 🏆🥇
@support.bsky.team let us give awards to top posts!!!
@support.bsky.team
We don't deserve dogs.
okay how is that NOT a 15/10
Maybe it's just me, but 14/10 seems low for putting out a stick of dynamite. 🤷
Manchis deserves a steak dinner or three! Although I would be terrified if I knew my dog's first instinct was to run *toward* a stick of dynamite. OMG how do you ever leave her alone ever again?! Good girl is recklessly brave!
WOW! HOW BRAVE
Good dog
VERY good girl!!
Animals!!!
The BESTEST girl, no notes. ♾️/10
A true canine hero! ❤️🐶
I know it's only Wednesday, but I can't imagine Manchis is going to get pipped out for Dog of the Week this week.
You were *so* right...
Manchis is 15/10. What a hero
Holy shit balls!!!!
W.A.G.G.
The bestest girl in the whole world 🥰🥰🥰
Omg
Do we know if this is real or AI?
latamjournalismreview.org/news/stick-o... Because it was in the fuckin' news, dude.
Good girl!
I love Manchis it’s amazing that she wasn’t afraid of the device. Great Dog she deserves many massive hugs and treats. 💙💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰
📌
The gooiest girl to ever good!
Manchis is a 15/10 real good girl for protecting her human!!
Wow.
That’s a 15/10
Damn
Amazing.
What the hell you have to do for a 15/10 these day!?
Not only should she be dog of the week, she should be dog of the year! She’s the bestest girl and deserves all the treats.
Owner failed to wake up to a single bark 😳
WOW
ONLY 14/10?
Not to express my favoritism, but would a cat do that?
Hey! 😼 No. A cat would have unlocked the front door, shamed the bomber into retrieving the dynamite, then resumed napping. 😸
I think you're smoking a bit too much catnip
Proper score is ♾️/10. THE best dog.
That is one damn fine fog!
I hate my typos!
Wow!
∞/10. No notes.
🎯
Manchi better get #1 dog this week! WOW!
I still go John Wick after they nearly blew up my dog
You missed a couple of zeros 1400/10
easily a 20/10
This almost turned out truly terrible. I’m so glad the doggy made it out of this safely and nobody got hurt
Dog of the Decade!!!
More like 24/10. That is a very good dog. 🐕 We truly do not deserve these wonderful creatures.
yeah, this post is making me think I should start a parody account, "WerateDogsHigher"... 14? that dog is a hero!
Omg that dog saved her life
What a good dog!
WeRateDogs was paid by the criminals to give such a low score!
She’s leading the pack for number one dog of the week.
This is definitely a 20/10. Good girl Manchis
"SUCCESSFULLY EXTINGUISHED THE DYNAMITE BEFORE IT DETONATED" ARE YOU H*CKIN' KIDDING ME RN?!
Wow! Hero dog.
The goodness of this dog cannot be measured by a mere score.
How is preventing death not a higher score?
Just 14? Just "good"? Manchis is a godsdamned 100/10 hero!
Omg wow. We all need a Manchis rn. Good girl!!
Good girl 🐕
Amazing…this dog is way smarter than trump voters.
That is incredible. Agree 2000/10. Wondering how Manchis extinguished it! We have found antifa and it is dogs! #DogsDefendDemocracy
That makes sense. Dog killer in the WH=fascism.
In case you needed FURTHER proof of how dogs are not only amazing and affectionate, but also incredibly loyal and trustworthy when the chips are down... Manchis deserves, *at the very least*, an award!
Beyond any you rated that I ever saw. By far. C'mon: You give 14/10 to dogs that, however lovely, let's face it… like, retrieve a scrunchy from a tub with aplomb. This is beyond. Selfless courage, comprehension, resourcefulness. Ella es una perra del más alto calibre. 25/10 minimum for Manchis!
Doing anything with fire is way beyond dogs behavior range. Most just do what dogs are good at exceptionally. She going farther than dogs have gone before.
ALL-THE-POINTS/10
Only 14?
I believe this dog truly deserves the Krypto award for outstanding heroics. She is a real life superhero.
This dog literally jumped on a grenade. There is no bravery higher.
How did she extinguish it?
Three thots 1) Dug at it until she ripped out the fuse which stopped detonation 2) Piddled on it and put the fire out 3) Grabbed the stick in her mouth and shook it until the fuse went dead
I ask because I thought dynamite cannot be extinguished once lit.
Looked it up In Aug 2025, a Peruvian journalist reported his dog, Manchis, extinguished the lit fuse of a stick of dynamite that had been thrown into his home. The dog reportedly put out the fuse w/her teeth, preventing an explosion & saving the journalist's life.
Incredible.
How is this not 1,000/10?
She is a heroe
Does anyone know the story about this journalist?
See my post above
Wow
♾️ / 10 ?
Mmmm not that high. What ever bomb sniffing dogs get+1/10
Okay ♾️ +1/ 10
This rating is too low.
14/10, no notes
Looks like #1 dog of the week heroics to me!✊🏼🐶♥️
Very smart girl.
Hero 🐾🐾
oh my goodness, what a very brave sweetpea Manchis is!! ♥♥
Damn. That is a very good girl.
Dogs are so much better than humans.
1000000000/10!!😭 😭 😭 A medal for Manchis 🎖️
That's 100/10.
The goodest girl! Dogs are amazing.
I have no appropriate words for her heroism.
omg, HOW did she do that? Bestest of the best 🐕 🧡🧡🧡
Just how does a dog extinguish a stick of dynamite? 🤔
20/10
Oh no honey, don’t mess with the dynamite. We need you more than this foyer.
Incredible! What a smart and wonderful dog.
Buen trabajo, perrita!
Good girl!! She needs a raise….how about 3 pupperonis AND a chewy bone for dessert?
Everyday for the rest of her life.
Wow! 💙💙💙
She single pawed extinguished an explosive device? C'mon man, that's a solid 20/10!
How did she do it. I couldn’t see.
It looked like she ran down and stomped on it repeatedly. Then barked at it and left.
In all the cartoons I've watched, stomping on dynamite doesn't work...
Jayzus ...
Amazing. Thank you.
I know 15/10 is a special demand, but...
15/10
Dogs are the goddamn best
EVERY DAY IS NATIONAL WONDERFUL 🐕 DAY!!!
What a brave and smart lady.
🙏🏻💙🐶💙🙏🏻
This is 15/15 😳
*15/10!
That is way beyond 14/10. She deserves a statue, a jingle, and a holiday in her name.
15!
😳👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
I agree! 2000/10! Incredible!
All while continuously wagging her tail. Such a Good Girl!
"This s*** is *not* happening, tonight. Take it somewhere else!"
Manchi had training in handling explosives. Very good dog.
That’s a goodest good girl!
Manchis demands a recount. 19/10
Boop!
My dog protects me from flies and when the ice cubes dropping in the maker make a noise. Basically same thing.
True. They don't know for sure the flies aren't nano assassin drones, or that the ice cubes dropping aren't hand grenades.
Snort!
Manchis is SpecialOps! Well done pup! 🐾💗
He knew how to disable ze bemb.
20/10
Yes 😡😡😡
What a brave, good girl
If my dog was barking like that I would be getting my bit out of bed ! Dogs are awesome !
Petition to make this 15/10, @weratedogs.com, Manchis is the goodest girl!
Only 14? Perhaps 1,000. Who's the best girl
That’s like several million/10. Good doggo!
Manchis was not having this crap on her shift! Invading her perimeter! That’s her land! Get out of here with your flaming sticks! Take your stick with you! All the points for Manchis, job very well done!
🏆⭐💙
Just a 14/10?! This is a travesty! Give that goodest of girls all the points that ever existed!
Good girl Manchis! You saved your person 💜
Excuse me but Manchis deserves infinity/10
2000/10
I think it's clear that Manchis's heroic actions warrant a rating of at least 15/10, because let's be real, she's basically a canine superhero who saved the day.
❤️
Wow!!!
GOOD GIRL, MANCHIS!!!😍
Extra treatos for Manchis.
Manchis is the new word for courage! Good girl!!
Our dog has saved us numerous times from UPS, FED EX,
Not to mention the squirrels 🐿
