I was thinking that the husband might've been the "energetic" type of person, to it or perhaps to his wife or daughter, so the dog was just defensive against violence against itself or the women :/ 🤷‍♂️Buuuut assuming makes an ass out of me, soo, yeah, no clue ^^

[@GadereneLegion]

My dog was rescued from a domestic violence situation. He was very paranoid that some strange man was going to hurt me. It was very difficult to work through that. If this is what happened with Brutus, it probably actually helped that he was rescued by a sweet, gentle man at a time when he didn’t have a woman or child to protect.

[@katdogcat]

I think they just wanted to have a reason besides just not wanting him. So they lied saying he was aggressive to feel better about bringing him back

[@binaraghu846]

Totally agree there with you.

[@jc_illustrates_]

Because they don't want to admit why the dog was probably acting "aggressively" ie most likely abusing him or treating him poorly

[@flawsnalltreasures721]

Maybe they didn't lie. Maybe the dog was aggressive towards the man in the household. Maybe the man in the household was abusing the people in the house and the dog was trying to protect them. If the dog was protecting the family members from someone it will do it all of the time not just when the person is being mean. Maybe they did the best thing for the dog and if the people are being abused they should leave as well. Maybe that's why this dog was nice to this guy, this guy was not the one being abusive to the other members of its previous home. What this video does show is that shelters should wipe the slate clean when they receive an animal then form their own opinion for each animal in their shelters. Shelters have no idea why a dog is deemed aggressive in their previous home. Previous owners will leave out the part about being abused by someone in the home, they can not admit to being abused because they are scared of what will happen when they get home.

[@sarahgould5435]

More likely he just had owners who couldn't be bothered to give him the attention and exercise he needed so he just got bored and into mischief. It happens a lot with people who want a pet but don't realize dogs need more than food, pats when you're home, and a house to lounge around.

badly not being leader, if human is weak dog takes leadership, and cause humans cant speak dog the trying to bite sounds bad

[@jenns1483]

​@@JouniKyyronen-nv1ep depends though. Every dog is different. Have to add in the situation and enviroment. When you are told a dog is aggressive. Then that dog comes in unsure and submissive. Aggression is a symptom. So it's different when it's a first meeting with an unsecured dog. The best time to show leadership is during meals and walks. Constantly correcting bad behaviors. Which he did in this video. The dog only needed a verbal warning to deescalate. Showing strength when it matters the most.

[@summer-c7i]

Scared or not, that’s the owner’s issue to deal with. It’s not fair to take it out the dog. Maybe they were projecting their fears onto him: that he would become uncontrollable and aggressive. Or maybe they provoked him bc of their fears ("kill them before they kill me" kind of idea). Regardless, that’s the owner’s responsibility to deal with their fears, not the dog. The dog is essentially an innocent child.

Word

[@kobisjeruk]

I dont think he had bad owners per se. They wrote a letter and yes, a letter is no justification that they're good but it could just be that he didnt click with the previous owners for whatever reason(s). Maybe one person in the family treated him badly or maybe he was traumatized by something in the old home and associate it with bad/negative.

[@FWDSUXARSE]

@@kobisjeruk I'll reserve judgemental feelings I have, but that kiddos body language speaks volumes. I work with abused dogs as a volunteer (adopted one too) and it's all about how you treat them and show them how you love them and will protect them and take care of them. My rescue was terrified of me when she first saw me, but once we went out on a walk together she changed completely. Within the first 48 hours she fell asleep with her head on my thigh, paws up in the air. Dogs are pretty good judges of character. They may show apprehension and fear with a new person, but once you let them approach you on their own terms, they are pretty darn perceptive of a person's intentions for the most part.

[@sworishina]

@@FWDSUXARSE It was the fear of the doorway for me. That brief moment of hesitance. My dog has some form of trauma (I think she might've lived in a cage her whole life before Hurricane Harvey liberated her), and years later, she's still a bit nervous around doors. Like she's afraid of what will come through them. And that moment where Hooch hesitated? I think he was afraid of the same thing.

The puppy grew up to be a normal dog, & they still hated him, kept him outside cause he wanted to greet people & play, cuddle on the furniture (my favorite part of having a dog)... It was awful. Yelling at him for being a normal dog. They gave him away to another family member, a single lady in her 40s. When I found out, I was relieved when I talked to her, & she said she hated the way the poor dog was treated. She cuddled with the good little boy, spoiled him, took him everywhere with her...

The great thing is that Hooch didn't seem to have been damaged by it. Thank God. And then the guy just fell head over heals in love with him. From the second he laid eyes on him. THAT was awesome. Maybe Hooch just knew this person was out there that he needed to be with ❤😊

I have a friend who works at a no-kill county animal shelter. She told me that a lot of people who turn in animals just make up wild stuff about the animal they're dumping as some kind of justification for not keeping it. It could just be that the people who had him didn't want him and just lied.

I've taken her to many places with tons of people and men she loved for hugs and belly rubs. I have a neighbor who she has been loving too but one day also got very protective of me, well turns out he had been drinking. Since then discovered anyone that been drinking she does not like. Did some research found the previous owner was an aggressive drunk and she was only getting in between him and family when he was drunk, all I can say 6 years later she still the same loves us and just keep away from heavy drinkers.

When you know how to treat them right, as this man does, they show that their true nature is not aggression, but love.

[@abigailchristenson388]

I absolutely agree. Fear is a response often times to other aggression. No dog is just born being aggressive all the time.

[@theironnautilus7228]

Im betting all the things the previous owners said were lies because even if they did abuse the dog to get aggression out of it, the dog would’ve showed fear when he came to visit.

[@PHILDEBEAST]

I'm thinking the previous owners were morons and liars

[@jatsi96]

Very true. Do you want a pet? Then make sure *you* understand all that comes with it! Do you have the time? Do you have the love? Do you have the money? Do you have the environment for one to live in? It's not that hard to do the math. :)

[@bruceradz]

Agreed 👍

Lee Asher is an awesome human being. Any doggo that is either rescued or fostered by him is going to be loved. He has such a big heart.

[@laurafedora5385]

He’s truly such a wonderful guy. This dog hit the jackpot I want to be reincarnated as one of Lee’s dogs 😂

OMG 😲 America has its version of Takis 😱 This is so awesome!! For anyone who doesn't know the Takis Shelter is a shelter in Greece (I think correct me if I'm wrong) the guy who runs it has a heart of gold! He finds cats and dogs in what's basically dumps like literally piles of garbage everywhere in the wilderness, on the streets and what not and nurses them back to health! I really don't know why I watch these videos I always end up crying happy tears.

[@likeaboss6421]

@@Paige-pk8dr We love to hear about the kind-hearted animal lovers all over the world. Thanks for all that you do on behalf of the dear animals.

[@lynneviti5124]

People will say anything when they surrender a dog or cat: they don't want to admit they don't want the dog or cat any more because they just don't feel like being bothered. They don't feel like getting up to walk the dog, they're going away on vacation, he's bigger than I thought he would be. The list goes on. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Lee Asher.

[@favoritemelodies9995]

That family actually did Brutus a BIG favor , he found a real family who loves him to bits!!

[@e.i.3077]

I’m convinced the “not gonna keep him” was for comedy purposes. You can see it was love at first sight. ❤

[@CaptainFracture]

It was for click bait purposes. People get outraged when they see the title and click to find oh it’s legit not even what was happening

[@Monkey_1640]

I highly doubt it was Many people can’t take care of dogs for their entire lives but they end up being so cute and adorable that they end up keeping them

[@Kim-dm4yb]

​@@CaptainFractureno it was because he was supposed to foster him and help find him a home but he always loves them too much to have them adopted by someone else. Not clickbait.

[@oliviapearson7856]

Yes, we all got that😂

[@oliviapearson7856]

It wasn’t clickbait this time. I got it right away based on the sentence structure. Basic grammar should have told people that he has a habit of adopting his fosters. The headline basically said “I’m not going to keep the foster THIS TIME, I promise@.

[@MrJuno319]

“I’m not gonna keep Brutus. I’ll take Hooch though.” A perfect loophole to the promise😂

[@2user000]

He came right up to your face and gave kisses!!! That shows how sweet and NOT aggressive he is! 🥰🥺🥺

[@teacherdenise5502]

I mean, that's a VERY agressive dog, do you see the way he attacks his face when he's sleeping? Just brutal! 😂😂😍🥰

[@vickihunt8988]

Great answer. Such a sweet dog.

Brutus could cuddle us to death. We should be terrified

[@igdes1]

They may have used "aggressive" to get more views. The world is a stage.

[@terriseaton3049]

Vicki Hunt Yep, dogs know when they find a kind, caring, loving person they can trust. Wish it was that easy for ppl.

[@marianne1194]

You can see the relief and feeling of gratitude flood over this dog. I really believe there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. This guy looked like a happy, loving, loyal companion from the minute he met Lee so I don't know what was going on at his former home but I'm thrilled he's out of there! He hit the doggie JACKPOT!

[@babyboo729]

When Lee was in the car saying im not going to keep him, i was like thank god, Lees going to keep him. ❤️

[@tracyroweauthor]

Yes! You know when Lee falls in love with a dog, that's it. He's keeping it.

[@gogogg4610]

@@ajitpandit7350 then thats 100% your fault. Dogs don't bite when they're trained. When they are mismanaged its due to human error. Look at the hundreds of dogs if not 1000's in Costa Rica at that free roam rescue .... no issues there for the most part!!

[@tcbrowntx]

Hooch is ridiculously aggressive with affection and trust. So happy he has a home with y’all.
