There is another pic of the boy standing on the dog with both feet. But even so, the dog is not showing any sighs of stress and could easily get out from under the boy if he needed to. I think we have all seen, at least in pictures, of dogs standing and laying all over each other in big piles. The whole controversy is contrived.
When she goes psycho, which is often at 11 months old. My dog trainer told me to straddle her and hold her with my knees. It takes all I have to hold her.
Thanks for the heads up. Yup, the dog’s not going to put up with it if he doesn’t want. I’m always amazed how much they tolerate from kids. I had a huge shepherd mix and my little nephew was playing on him. Stepped right on his jewels and all he did was yelp.
Clearly the dog is not under ANY stress. Trig has probably learned from experience where he can stand on without causing stress.
