[@bigd5899]

@Elisabetta she does not claim she rescued the cat from a shelter once, and honestly there are a lot of purebreds in shelters. The video aint even about her rescuing the cat, it is about the dog that was depressed until they got the cat so i do not see how she portaits herself as some sort of savior. They are not „using“ their animals for selfish reasons, you have a service dog if you have spontaneous seizures or other medical issues. Working together with animals is how we domesticated them in the first place and quite frankly they are built to be companions for thousands of years, thats coexistence not slavery.

He looks like a LGD [livestock guardian] dog or cross. They are usually reserved and watch in a situation like a dog park. They bond very strongly with what ever they look after. In this case a kitten. They are used to mind free range chickens, and other stock. Even a Penguin colony. They are ancient breeds. Some in the group are Pyrenean [France], Maremma [Italian], Anatolian etc. They are ancient breeds developed along the Silk road to guard stock against predators such as wolves and bears.

He just needed someone to protect. that is what is inside him.

[@h.a.7581]

Yes and maybe Samson grew up with cat buddies around him and his mama :) seeing a kitty reminded him of his happy puppy days too.

That cat riding that dog is like a man riding a dragon lol. “I have tamed the retched beast, fear me mortals!”

Every time I don’t think dogs could be any more awesome, something new happens to show me they’re even more amazing than I already knew.

[@blobbruh6884]

kudos to this family who understood their dog so well. I'm so happy that the dog found a friend that he can be comfortable with, in that kitten.

[@nenram.5786]

Samson is an introverted dog. He knows what he likes and wants.

[@mkhanman12345]

He is just a dog.

[@MM-pv5tp]

Being awkward is not a sign of introversion. Stop misusing the word “introvert.”

The support dog needed a support cat. Goes to show we all need something just got to keep going until we find it!

[@tigergreg8]

That is why change comes to our lives I believe, For instance, when someone loses a job, or something happens to make you move on. I truly believe we are placed where we need to be at different times of our life. It's not always easy, but if He ask you to go, you may hesitate to do it, so, things just happen. Your influence, just like this cat, can be of great value to someone, somewhere other then where you are now. You just never know who or what you may be helping or doing for someone else, even saving a life.

This is how my dog is, he is scared of other dogs and doesn’t know not to play with them. We have a cat that walked through our doggy door one day and they became best friends. They share a bed and play all the time now. It’s really cute seeing their friendship grow and see how my dog learns to become more playful

[@wifeoftheparty7107]

You have a cat the just moved in too? That has happened to me twice! I thought it was just a me thing.

Thats a good guard dog bro, as soon as they in the house they already joined the family, thus, family is protected from outsiders.

[@dad4ever-c90]

Samson sounds like he has a Type-A personality - very serious and focused on work / achievement. Probably ideally suited to being a service dog. But just as stressed out as similar humans. I'm glad Cleo has enabled him to enjoy life and be happy.

My heart always melts when i see 2 different animals finding a true friendship with each other Its so obvious both of them are getting a lot out of this odd couple relationship❤️✊☺️

[@alwaysuseless]

Service dogs and Search-and-Rescue dogs are trained not to be playful while on the job. To that end, you may sometimes see a service dog wearing a harness that says "Do Not Pet." I've helped train SAR dogs by "getting lost." If they're given something I've worn, they can sniff out my trail and find me miles away in the woods or mountains. They seem to understand that they have an important job. That's really sweet that Samson can play with Cleo. It makes sense. Playing with a kitten doesn't interfere with one's job. And giving Cleo a ride is both worlds in one! :-)

[@tarananajaika]

That's simply not true. I'd almost say it's the opposite but not all dogs are the same. Service dogs and other working dogs are dogs clearly need a separation from work and fun time. A service dog getting playful while crossing a busy road is a hazard for the handler and itself. A service dog who can't stop working (especially difficult for seizure alert dogs who have to work during night time) can suffer from exhaustion and burnout. Some people with diabetes give their dog to their family for a weekend every few weeks, so the dog can fully relax. The "Do not Pet" sign doesn't mean that the service dog doesn't play, it just means that it's really hard for service dogs - who have to be very sociable towards anything and anyone they encounter - to stay in service mode when random people can't keep their hands on themselves. When my service dog is on free time, he's super playful and rather wild (which is really fun to watch when we meet with the service dog school and all their other dogs). Being well behaved in every supermarket and public transport means a lot of obedience and staying alert. It's important to have time where his mind can wander and he can be a pet. A lot of working dogs are especially playful because their reward for doing their job is playtime.

[@misssamhain4334]

@Loulou Bos actually although it’s not required yes they do. I have an SD & he has several that he wears.

[@alisha_madariaga]

@Loulou Bos well For someone who has had 5 service dogs, it’s surprising that you think this to be true.. Because it is not. You may think that because you don’t have your dog wear them for whatever reason , but most , in fact, do! Now Emotional support animals may not..(as they shouldn’t I don’t believe.. not certain about that though..).

[@alisha_madariaga]

@Loulou Bos ?? No... why would I think that ? They need to be registered just like any other dog does but not some kind of special registration for service dogs , no.

[@alisha_madariaga]

@Loulou Bos I’m confused now because is that NOT the very thing being argued?? About wearing harnesses? My understanding was that emotional support animals do not and should not wear them but that mobility and other service dogs typically do?

hi there do you know that jesus himself said that follow the upcoming comforter after him thats why prophet MOHAMED has been prophesied in bible in so many verses by title of upcoming another comforter and prince of world , hence its rather compulsory for you to accept islam now , if you have any questions you can ask me here or email me and i will send you all those prophecies
