SUPER-DOG OR SUPER VILLAIN?



When I saw this video of the dog saving the other dog, I thought I had a new hero. Or at least a fury one. I like to throw the word 'hero' around somewhat freely, but really I thought this mutt was the dealy. Then I watched it again without the sound on…

The muteness changed everything. It didn’t look right. Why was the injured canine on the road in the first place? And more importantly why was the ‘hero dog’ (Lets say its a guy dog, and lets call him Rex) so close behind the unfortunate. Was he being chased? Or even worse, was he set up? Did we even see the driver? It could have been Rex himself. Then when he’s sped from the scene, pulled over, paws on the brakes and went back to get his dinner.

And when he gets to his sprawled out prey, he looks around for witnesses, (check it out!) he looks in both directions, not for cars but for witnesses. Then the authorities find them, and now like Gary Sinse from the movie Ransom, I bet Rex is taking all the credit, getting badges of honour and a sweet TV deal, hoping the other dog never wakes from his coma.

Lets hope there's a 24-hour guard in that veterinary clinic, because I maybe getting carried away but it is a dog eat dog world.
