The only major injury I've sustained as my years as a vet nurse was a bite from a rottie. Do I blame the dog? No, even as my face was bleeding I was asking if the dog was okay and checking on him. He was an old boy that was painful because of aggressive bone cancer. I believe no dog is inherently evil. It's either in training, or lack of training. It's always circumstantial, in my opinion.

[@testerwulf3357]

Aw poor dog, sometimes crazy pain causes aggression..it happens in humans as well (I know I’m irritable at least when something hurts). Circumstantial is very correct, I hope you and the dog weren’t hurt too much by that incident

[@deltadawn916]

@@testerwulf3357 I had a few stitches in my chin for 3 days and then I was fine. Poor pup ended being sick and needing to be put down, but I never reported the dogs or owners for the bite. :)

[@EnlightenMothman]

​@Sarah Ayers In the US (if that's where you live) if a dog bites you at the vet or grooming the dog does not get into much trouble as the vet and groomers are stressful places for dogs, so most of the time it is not a strike against the dog. Unless the dog doesn't have its rabies vaccine. I say this as someone who has been bitten in the face while working as a grooming assistant and someone who's hand was bitten while working as a vet assistant. Neither dog got in trouble but to get antibiotics/worker's comp I had to fill out the report form.

[@deltadawn916]

@@EnlightenMothman the dog didn’t have a current rabies, so I should’ve reported it legally. I chose not to report it as it was sick and near end of life. I didn’t want his last days to be in quarantine away from his family.

[@EnlightenMothman]

​@@deltadawn916 That's valid, especially because it didn't have a current rabies. I got lucky and both dogs that bit me were up to date.

[@ladypeiandtheclown5410]

Digby is a prime example of why socialisation and de-sensitisation training and exposure is key when you get a puppy/young dog. It doesn’t matter how much you show them love or how kind you are, if you don’t expose them to everything in the environment around them as young as possible, what you end up with is a dog like digby, a dog that has anxiety around other dogs and people that has developed into fearful aggression that is so bad he has to be muzzled in public so he can’t bite anyone when he lashes out. So remember when you bring a new fur baby into your family, SOCIALISATION and DE=SENSITISATION is KEY to a HAPPY and WELL BALANCED dog.

[@pmt7335]

Yep. And take responsibility for your own animals. It annoyed me how the owner reacted to others not being comfortable with their killer dog!

[@SadVegetable]

Agreed, but some dogs are genetically aggressive or reactive. You can improve it but never fully fix it. So this is a case by case basis.

[@opybrook7766]

You literally have NO IDEA what training he had as a pup. You ARE making a snap judgement call with no history, no true facts. As Chris said at the end, you look after your dog and he'll look after Digby. For all you know Digby is "protecting" his family from strangers.

[@opybrook7766]

@@pmt7335 Wow. You are a jerk. They did NOT give anyone dirty looks for looking at their dog. They will protect Digby as he tries to protect his family. This mum and daughter handled everything very well. The shame is on you not they!

[@sammieb7991]

Some dogs are just aggressive. You can train them to a degree to obey you, but at the end of the day they are still going to be aggressive. I spent a lot of money training my dog, taking her to a German shepherd specialist whos been doing it for over a decade, and she is still aggressive. It was explained to us that she genetically is and that it couldn't be trained out of her, but we can make sure she obeys us, to a degree. She's muzzled around strangers and when we go out because she can and will bite and attack. She is bred from retired K9 units, so she it literally genetically like that. She is the biggest sweetheart once she gets comfortable with someone though, just takes time for her to trust someone enough. She was socialized and taken out, literally everywhere, as a pup.

[@sailorarwen6101]

I think that’s so awesome that horse owners are willing to loan their horses out for cases like Brûlée

[@katestevens86]

Can you say a little more about this? I watched the clip so long ago I can't remember if there was something said about horses and it's too painful to watch again. I have trained horses and what was said in the comments section about socialization is true for horses too. If I am training ponies for little kids to ride I do a lot of socialization in different environments as well as lunging the ponies with plastic bags attached to the saddle so they get used to lotsa noise and things flapping around on the saddle behind them. Kids don't think....and the first time they decide to pull off their jacket while riding can be the first time they end up in the dirt. I think of rotweilers and guard dogs the same way I think about expensive TBs - they are trained to do one thing and with all the training involved they become very pricey animals. But if you take them out for a simple hack on country roads they are dangerous, because they are as freaked out as that rottie was.

[@aspennie]

Every single caring equestrian is willing to help such a cute foal when possible. It's almost like a spoken rule of equestrianism. :) horse people are amazing

[@heatherv3417]

The horse community tends to be fairly tight knit in a region, especially in rural areas. I know in the US there are specific groups and events that everyone goes to, even people who are entire states away know each other. My friend had her mare and foal stolen a few years back and they were found because someone the next state over recognized them Unfortunately for the thief, in Kansas when you steal a horse not only do you automatically get a felony, but any trailer, car, truck or equipment used to steal the horses have to be forfeit. You also get a year and a half in jail and a $100,000 fine

Boris is adorable, and his owner/guardian is amazing for all she's done for him. I do feel sorry for Digby. I've had two male Rotties (at the same time). One weighed 120 pounds, the other weighed 110. Both went through behavioral training when they were young. One vet told me I had the most well-behaved Rottie he'd ever treated. I can't begin to imagine the level of anxiety that poor dog must be constantly going through whenever he goes out. Despite his years, I hope the family can find a way to socialize him so that everyone is happy.

Agreed, they were reinforcing the dog being aggressive. A dog trainer should be able to sort this dog out, by cracking down on the aggression. If not, being sentimental about the dog is misplaced. He is a danger to others, both human and dogs apparently. There are plenty of lovely friendly dogs looking for homes. Meanwhile, I hope the vet charged them danger money!

[@michaelae5051]

You can’t reinforce fear to be fair. It does need a lot of behavioural intervention, but when a dog is in that state, it’s past the threshold for learning. Fear cannot be reinforced anyways

@@Gaius__ Respectfully, we literally do not know what Digby's owners have done off-camera to help him. Despite what many "doggo people" like to preach unfortunately aggression absolutely can be genetics related as a result of irresponsible breeding and that kind of aggression is near impossible to just "socialize out" of the dog. Does that mean Digby is a bad dog? Of course not, you can't project human morals on an animal! Unfortunately sometimes dogs are genuinely dangerous due to no major fault of anyone except maybe a bad breeder not vetting the parents' temperaments properly.

Hello Sharon 🤗 How are you doing?

[@YouWouldnt]

This video has changed my entire view on aggressive dogs. I remember being told that it’s about safety of humans. While this is true, I now know that seeing this aggression is potentially a small side of the normal behaviour of these dogs. If we break this down step by step. We start to think more about triggers and how to manage it. In Digbys case, we see that it’s foreign contact and uncomfortable environments so we know the root cause. This can be applied to other dogs and hopefully something can be done to help improve the aggression of these animals. I think this is honestly the first time that I almost fell to tears after hearing that this animal, despite its aggression, had been told he should be put down. That makes me feel really guilty and I hope others can be transformed in the way I have been. Dogs are man’s best friend. The definition of being a friend is to be there through the toughest times regardless of what is thrown at you. I think this is a prime example of where dogs just really need that friend to get them through. Sending prayers for Digby and hoping that he can be helped to change.

[@helenafonseca8606]

Digby reminds me of my relatively recently adopted cat. She is a rescue who has spent the early stages of her life in the street, so she hasn't been properly socialized. Difference is I adopted her as an adult cat and she doesn't trust me yet, so taking her to see a vet is actually quite the issue because she gets aggressive out of fear of people and defends herself with all her might. I've recently had to take her to get checked because she was not eating normally. Vets had to sedate her and they told me she was very hard to sedate, they told me they thought she was down once and she jumped up like Digby did so they had to give her more sedatives. They found out what was the issue and we might have to have her teeth removed, but she's actually healthy otherwise. I've also made some progress trying to befriend her, I think I might actually get her to trust me fully in the future :)

I'm so happy they found a mare so easily.

As a teenager, we had a Rottie. We also fostered Rotties. I was a very active part of their training and rehabilitation. It was a lot of fun for me. All of them were successfully adopted by families. Our Rottie was 3 time obedience champion in our province. Good girl, but didn't like any men outside of our family. Not super aggressive, just hackles up and growly. Never snapped, but we were careful. Not sure why she started, but it was only 2 years before she passed away from cancer of the brain, so it was just 2 years that we had to be a little more cautious.

[@deeyears3978]

Absolutely fantastic that you treated Digby! You knew not to have eye contact and took so much time with him. I’m so glad that he only had a lymphoma and not cancer! I lost my first Rottie, my child replacement, to oestescarcoma which totally broke my heart ❤️. Also I couldn’t raise the money for treatment which they told me possibly would not work as it was so far along.

[@rafaelpaiva-ou9zg]

Hello Dee🤗 How are you doing?

[@lisaofferman2063]

We have had 3 rottweilers and they have all been lovers, but our Male Rot did get aggressive. They all had to be the ones to accept others, then they were friends for life.

[@christinanephew8232]

Horses are very very cute🐴👓🦊🐻🐹🐶

[@nio731]

The towel toss with Digby! You are heaven sent literally i am at a loss. You are truly the perfect vet. Thank God for you man!!!

[@richellesturgeon353]

I have a dog identical to this dog. I know how these two feel. My girl is very protective of my grandkids and is so respectful of them. She has never been abused, but is a rescue I've had since 5 weeks of age. Great job to Scott for taking the time to spend letting the dog relax. My vet is very much the same

[@goodwolf866]

I have seen the story of the little foal and the mare several times; cry each time.

[@CarpediemMarti]

Please tell Emma (friend) awesome that she made the effort to see Susie! I’m sure it helps to know so many people care about her! Huge hugs and love!

[@kathyharrington1152]

I have a chi mix that is very aggressive to others but is really a sweetheart to me. She has made a couple of friends but it takes time.

[@donnamorrell1895]

If we put Aggressive/misunderstood humans down like we do dogs, then the world would be short a few million humans. its our job to understand their behavior, aggression in dogs in shown more when there scared/anxious or confused as to what is happening around them. also i don't think it is right for people to judge others pets without knowing the circumstances of the dogs upbringing. Animals have emotions too.

[@lucyslifewithpets175]

Yes exactly!

[@phoenixflamegames1]

I feel bad for Rottweilers and those kind of dogs. Specifically bred for aggression in the past but now that that is no longer necessary those instincts and genes come back to bite them.

[@Twilight24682]

I agree Donna dogs only show aggression when they are scared and anxious and shouldn’t just be killed for it they should be helped

[@the_teri]

Try not to judge an agressive dog when it's about to bite your child. I was almost bitten by a dog when I was a child and my parents didn't care about the dog's emotions at all. They only cared about the fact that it almost bit my face off and potentionaly could kill me.

[@kimdickinson3063]

@@phoenixflamegames1 Rottweilers weren't bred for aggression, they herded animals or pulled carts. This dog isn't an aggressive dog it's a fearful dog, same outcome but different emotions. Them petting it while being like this is unfortunately telling him its good behavior, it should be a firm no and then praise if he stops, but its been so long he would need this reinforcing quite alot. I ain't a dog trainer but have always had dogs and learnt if any of my dogs displayed behaviour I didn't want. My Staffie used to attack any dog that bounced up to her, not anymore but I do keep her close with puppies as they are almost always bouncy. It's knowing your dog and being willing to give your dog It's best life and you to because of this.

[@ericajamieson2811]

Everytime he barks and he goes to get hugs from his guardians. And they give it.

[@DJDuncanDesigns]

With Digby, aren't they "praising" him for his behavior by saying it's ok, and petting him? Such a beautiful dog.

[@FrejaBlight]

Sending love and appreciation to these vets! Thank you!

[@viviansmith1976]

It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm sitting here just crying my eyes out watching this! Absolutely amazing! I think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! The love and bond between Bruleé and his new mom is so beautiful! And the fact that these horse owners are willing to do this for each other and loan out their horses for the well-being of other horses is just a testament to the love that we have for the horses as well!

[@luziel3071]

I love how grateful Digbys owners were. They know of the issues with their dog and make sure it’s safe to take him out in the world but they still knew it’s a big ask for a vet to treat a dog like him. But they say he’s sweet at home and you could see that he was willing to let his guard down with the vet as well. A downright evil or aggressive dog wouldn’t have done that. I’m glad they took so much time with him and were able to help him

[@maryhinch4510]

So uplifting and emotional that this little foal found a surrogate Mare.

[@charlottekaiser619]

My first dog was like this, a rescue staffie. it was horrendous no vets wanted to touch him. But with me he was adorable and so loving it was heartbreaking to see how his behaviour switched

[@Gaius__]

His behaviour switched because you don't know how to educate him.

[@emaulinecox5543]

I have dogs just like Digby. She is just as big in size with an even bigger heart. One may say that desensitization and training always make the difference. Well, after many trainers, schools, techniques, just to begin with, she just ended up being a fearful dog. Great with us at home and immediate family, terrified and aggressive outside of that safety zone. So, we decided to stop terrifying her with all those tries once a specialist said-it’s just the way she’s wired and don’t listen to anyone else whom think they have the answer or an opinion. So that’s what we did. She has one vet that after years, although she wears a mouth guard she finally doesn’t snap and lunge. Dr Lewis is just like Scott. They are animal lovers and too humble to bask in the “thankyous”. Well, we’re forever grateful to non-judgmental Vets and their staff as well as other humans who either understand or just simply do not judge. Just one of the many reasons I enjoy these episodes!

[@cutejapanesecatsandanimals5338]

Horses are said to be very intelligent. Even though they cannot speak the language of others, they can remember people who treat them kindly, and once they have established a trusting relationship with them, they will show rich expressions. They are also good at remembering people's faces. Since their eyesight is only 0.6 times better than humans, they use their ears to grasp what is going on around them. Therefore, don't suddenly make loud noises or startle them when they are close to you. Horses have very well-developed ears, as they can hear ultrasonic waves and other sounds that humans cannot. Horses express their emotions by moving their ears. Their field of vision is quite wide, allowing them to see around 350 degrees. Since they are herbivores, their eyes are able to see at a wide angle in order to escape predators. Horses also have a highly developed sense of smell. They can recognize people by their scent, and once they get to know you, they will happily approach you. It is said that horses sleep onl🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐴🐎🐴🐎🐎🐴🐴🐎🐴

[@amylarson3958]

Which is why they make such amazing therapy animals.

What a sweet boy that little pit bull is and his mommy is an Angel!

[@jillhorvat1730]

I had a flyball Champion actually 2 both have been gone for many years now but the both had their FMX. Prayers for your beautiful BC. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@pamelahart5289]

I can see his love for all of the animals that come to him. I could see Digby's sweetness to and from his ladylike. People just need to keep their nasty comments to themselves, ask themselves if they would put their own dog down just because the animal was afraid or in a situation that they have not been in regularly.

[@chrisrobinson4032]

I'm sorry for talking sense but a complete stranger being confronted by a snarling beast are not going to be thinking oh poor animal is scared. They're going to be thinking if this animal gets loose(and with a big strong dog it's very likely) then either myself or my family are in danger. That's not them being 'nasty'!!!

[@katestevens86]

I feel for the Rottie and his family. The level of aggression he displayed is dangerous. Even if they are super vigilant, they can't be with him 24/7. There is a strong possibility that at some point in the future he might get out of their yard or attack someone visiting them at their house. And can you imagine living on alert all the time to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone? That would be so stressful. And stressful for the dog too. I don't know what the solution to this situation is, but until he is socialized some more, he will continue to be a risk to people. Scott says that he's "misunderstood" but quite frankly, people that could potentially be bitten don't care about that.

[@the_teri]

@@chrisrobinson4032 I agree, as a child I was nearly bitten by pretty aggressive german shepperd. According to its owner, it was well trained and well behaved dog. Didn't matter to my parents at that time. They saw an agressive animal that could potentionally hurt or even kill me. They had no understanding for the dog nor its owners.

[@no-dy3xw]

I was bitten in the chest by a chihuahua once as a kid, that dog tore my shirt off and was the scariest dog i've ever encountered (i've had several dogs and know tons of dogs)

[@Nekogal21]

I don't think a kid would see that a dog is scared or whatever, they will just see aggression and be scared. My brother once had a rottweiler jump up at him in his pushchair at about 1 year old when my mum was walking me to school and this dog was barking snarling and tried to go for his chest and was licked in the face and neck by a German shepherd that same year on a different day that also jumped up on his pushchair and all the owners did in both scenarios was laugh when my brother was screaming and crying. He's nearly 19 now and will still walk out into the road to avoid medium to large sized dogs just to avoid any confrontation and to stop a potential attack

[@wolfieshadowfang5875]

Seeing people understand dogs like Digby makes me so happy. He's just an example of incorrect socialisation. But his owners recognized that and put steps in place to not only keep other dogs and people safe, but to keep Digby safe as well. Seeing that kind of understanding keeps my faith in humanity alive. As few threads holding it aloft as there are xDDD

[@amyfu2047]

Now they just need to learn how to respond to his behaviour appropriately. Because petting him, while they think it’s calming or comforting, is actually telling him “good boy” for freaking out.

[@ronniewilliz153]

the owners let this dog walk all over them from correcting him when he was wrong they did not discipline him

[@Gaius__]

Seeing them make half a dozen mistakes in a short video segment keeps my belief that some people are not qualified to raise dogs alive. There is no problem with Digby that can't be fixed in a few weeks, by someone who actually knows what he is doing.

[@lecringeyay3125]

Exactly, dogs need socialization, and properly trained, or to dumb it down, to say " DIGBY NO" then pet him, like he's a chihuahua

[@cookingwithmaisha675]

Scott is the kind of Vet I want/would want for my dogs!

Bully breeds have so much love to give. So glad she can chill with her buddy.

[@kristinapriest2545]

love this channel, just found it. thanks for all you do.

[@Jill-aka-pokey]

I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say I was watching you with the Rottweiler. You did very well. I’ve had the privilege owning many powerful breeds🐕 ❤ we raise Dobermans for many years. I had Rottweilers that were the best you could ever had and one of them got put down about eight years ago and she gave him the first shot to relax him. She came to the house and I had him get up in the van with his ball because he was ball. Crazy. His name was Adonis. The first shot do anything she couldn’t believe it. She had to give him another one. She didn’t think that was even going to work, but it took a little time. He finally started getting relaxed and then when she gave him the final shot he lifted his head up afterwards, ever so slightly. He was looking for his ball because it rolled out from between his legs. so I put it back for him. He put his head down and took a big sigh and then he was gone. I always try to be very brave. I have to put my dogs down. Because I know they pick up on things like that. Anyhow, just a quick thank you for your great videos.❤❤❤
