The guy is getting pissed about them being concerned about the dog while storing the dog in a rotting asbestos-filled hellscape.

[@UnitSe7en]

Do you know it's asbestos-filled? The dogs clearly had access to that gated portal with fresh air and sunlight. They seemed well behaved, and there's no reason to think he didn't let them out for walks every day. I've seen more badly abused animals in green, grassy back yards. Maybe don't make generalisations based on shit you don't know jack about.

[@sarahm4984]

@@UnitSe7en Woah calm down. The dogs had access to the gate that was locked? Maybe it would have been better if they called a rescue organization rather than animal control. But that should be no condition for any dog to live in, no matter how long they stay there during the day. If you have the responsibility of owning a pet, you have the responsibility to care for it. They said it themselves in the video, the dog was drinking "moldy water". I agree with you, you shouldn't make generalizations based on things you don't know, and it would be very difficult to have your dogs taken away like that. I just wanted to share my own opinion.

[@jsl4228]

[@NissanSkyline901]

It's one thing to call animal control when they thought the dog might have been abandoned, it's another when they realized that it likely belonged to someone homeless and still decided to call. It's actually pretty heartless and very self-righteous. Dogs that belong to the homeless aren't just automatically in poor health, and there are actually groups out there that will help homeless or lower income folks with their pets. They can also be very important to the mental health of the owner who is already struggling. They also clearly didn't think through, or just didn't care, about the safety of the owner because police don't typically treat homeless people with respect. And even when the owner is rightfully upset, Dan is in passenger seat being a complete dick escalating the situation. That doesn't even get into the fact that there is no guarantee, depending on the breed and the state, that the dog wouldn't just automatically be euthanized instead of being adopted out. This looked like a pit or pit mix, and that can be the case with the breed. The dog wasn't in immediate danger, and there are just better ways of handling the situation.

Damn, this literally hits close to home. I live a few miles away from the city, on the outskirts of Baltimore County. Baltimore (imo) is known for abandoned places in very poor condition. You always hear police sirens, car sirens, dogs, among other things. All common themes, including the abuse, neglect, and mistreatment of animals. Malnourished and nearly dead animals are common, along with homelessness of both man and animal. Its not Baltimore without the almost daily shootings and death and all the previously mentioned things. Shitty people who go WAY too far are common. And I get why most of the time. Now there are nice and beautiful places in Baltimore that do not have all this, but they're a longer drive and are harder to see from the perspective of a tourist. Thank you with all my heart for saving those babies. They came to you guys and you listened. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I love pitbulls and it kills me seeing them in such bad condition and from no fault of their own. They're my favorite breed (along with their mixes) and you have no idea how happy it makes me when I see someone save or help them! Thank you again

[@momredandjonny]

Having read the comments I see that some think this is likely a case of a person down on their luck taking care of three animals. People involved in animal rescue take a longer and harder look at the circumstances. Sometimes dogs are kept in out of the way places until they can be sold into dog fighting rings or they are used for breeding to sell online or on the street. Often times dogs stashed like this are used to promote an underground economy in dog fighting or selling puppies. Even street people take better care of their pets than this video suggested and I think the authorities will be able to determine the difference.

[@MsDesignDiva]

That was my worry too, the dog we saw looked like a healthy pit bull, that's the main breed used for dog fighting rings

[@ladyi7609]

Yeah, if this were a case of a legitimate homeless man with his dogs he would have them with him 24/7 and they would be placid and playful, as homeless people, including men, will let themselves starve before having their dogs want for anything and to them, their dogs are their whole lives.

That was a cool find! I’m glad you had concerns for the dogs. I agree when it looks unsafe the authorities need to decide I can also understand the comments that in a pound they may not get adopted so it’s a difficult situation for everyone involved. I though wouldn’t of went back and said “I was the one who called”. I have had dogs as pets all my life and they were all cared for. We had someone call and say we abused a dog and the animal enforcement showed up and took our dog, photographed the place we kept him. We only had him 3 weeks. Later it turned out the person who called knew who surrendered him and they wanted it and called in and lied. We were cleared 100% and the two things I remember was the supervisor saying the report stated we left the dog alone without shelter and food tied to a leash but they found him in our converted family room (was a garage) with plenty of food water a bed couch and central heating and cooling and in our fenced in yard there was no tie out. He didn’t need it. Plus they had us sit in a room brought him in and he immediately ran up to us and wanted to play. We got him back had him for many many years.

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

The owners of the Building started with Guttman's in about 1930 Then they merged Braggers to become Bragger Guttman's Then Bragger Guttman's went out of business. Epstien's a local discount store moved in. Then the last store to work in that building was a bargain basement super discount store named YOUNG WORLD that sold dismally cheap things for young people and babies. The Newish elevators were installed when Epstien's used the building. The reason the elevator doors do not work is the doors and the ornate brass cross hatched gates were powered by steam. Much of downtown buildings in Baltimore use steam for heating. The elevator doors in Bragger Guttmans used stream under pressure to automatically open and close the doors. This allowed for ladies to run the huge elevators. Lady elevator operators saved the discount store money since they could be paid far less than male elevator operators. Also lady elevator operators gave the discount department store a more upscale look. Hutzler's and Stewerts employed lady elevator operators to suggest an upscale shopping experience. This store was a time capsule even before it closed. The newest thing installed by bragger Guttman's was that tiny set of escalators that went from the first to the fourth floor if my memory serves. I'm over 60 years old, autistic and disabled so my memory could be slightly faulty.

The guy is getting mad yet hes letting dogs in a building like that its unsafe and not healthy for the dogs if he cant give them a proper home he shouldn’t be owning dogs, you did the right thing by calling animal control etc Edit: i see people saying the man may be homeless etc but that doesnt excuse the fact that the animals are in a unhealthy situation its sad to get rid of a beloved pet but if you can’t provide for yourself you shouldn’t own another living being who needs alot of needs as well Another thing is that they’re supposed to be Gaurd dogs but all they did was bark or walk away , where was the man if the “barks” were to alert him, the place probably has many entrances thus making the “gaurd” dogs useless and overall its still unhealthy and dangerous to keep a dog inside

@ 7:16, that skylight/window was amazing! That theater was probably really lovely in the beginning of it's life. I saw a great bittersweet documentary on Turner Classic Movies about the rise and fall of "movie houses" (theaters) in America, from their beginnings in the early 20th century, to their decline only a few decades later when television became huge in the 50's. It was very well done. They described how early movie theaters were designed to be as beautiful as possible, because they were all competing with eachother for business. They showed alot of old photography of what these buildings looked like in the past, visited some that still exist, some that have become other things, and even some that are still standing but have been abandoned and are decaying, much like your video. Old movie theaters were intended to be so grand that they would last for generations. So sad that so many have completely vanished, or left unloved to crumble away. Anyways, great video, as always!

There have been some surprising places that still had electricity. Full 5 story hospitals and abandoned Nuclear Power Plants and Asylums that had been abandoned for 20+ years.

[@ladyi7609]

Just FYI: if those dogs belonged to a homeless man he would not have left them out of his sight unless he absolutely had to, for example if he had to go to the hospital and they didn't allow him to bring his dogs. Dogs are literally a homeless person's entire world and they will sacrifice literally everything to ensure their dogs want for nothing. A homeless person's dog(s) would be placid and/or playful, and either have an excellent attitude toward other humans or be so devoted to their humans that they cling to them at all times. I didn't see any of that behavior with that one dog you encountered or the other dogs that turned up once Animal Control came on the scene. Also, in Dan's video you see zero sign of any dogs so they couldn't have been there the two weeks prior that Dan had shot his own video of the abandoned building; the only thing that sounded even remotely like a dog was the squeaky sound of the gas valve in the basement area where he encountered the gas leak, nor did he remark about any dog feces (the only animal feces I think i spotted in said video was bird poop). You did the right thing in calling for Animal Welfare and I can only hope they placed those poor babies in better home environments. Even a homeless man would have been a better fit for those angels.

It's a bit a grey area to me.

On the other hand, this man's aggressive approach to Dan & co. made me think he was using the dog for illegal means, ei dog fights, given that stereotypically Pitbulls are use for those "sports" for monetary gain. I sure hope the latter is not the case. And although ignorant of danger the man does mean well for his dogs.
