Dogs aren't called "man's best friend" for nothing. In this video, a 6-year-old boy and his dog are out in the yard for some playtime fun in the sun. The dog already begins his job of being a good boy by protecting the boy from getting too close to the street. Aren't dogs the best? They continue playing, and then, all of a sudden, a hostile neighbor dog bolts from his own yard, sprinting straight toward the playing couple.

The dog immediately pushes the kid down and stands above him, guarding him with his body while snapping at the other dog. The kid's dog chases the dog away, all while protecting the kid in the process. The hostile dog's owner finally realizes what's going on and tries to control his dog, but his dog just scurries away. This is why you should have your dogs on leashes, people! Anyway, everyone is okay, and the doggo of the boy deserves all the treats and head scratches - good job, buddy!

    Just two little buds, playing in the yard - it reminds us of our childhood! We grew up with three dogs, and we loved to go outside and run around with them. It was so much fun, but we didn't have any neighbor dogs chasing us!

    Player three has now entered the game. For no apparent reason, the dog just bolted out from behind his fence in order to cause some chaos. Not all dogs are trained to be off-leash, just a friendly reminder to train your dogs well.

    Organism - Cornisa Grasse +2.26d ago It looks like the dog is also trying to keep the kid away from the street in the beginning, then has to defend the kid from another dog. What a tiring day for that good boi

    Product - MordunnDregath +2.26d ago The other guy needs to get his dog under control. There's no reason for it to charge across the street and attack a neighbor like that. 1.1k Reply Share

    Font - +2.26d ago You can always tell when it's one of those people who have absolutely no idea what they're doing when it comes to dog ownership by the way that they have no idea how to grab their own dog. You can see him gently put both hands on the dog's side for a second before it just runs off again and the guy pretends to be in control by pointing towards the house as if the dog gives a flying F about what the guy says.

He identifies the threat instantly and throws the child to the ground, to avoid being bitten, and then covers him whit his own body to start fighting back. Then he repels the attack but without engaging in a fight. He knows the other dog may go for the kid. He drives them away. Then he sees the alpha (his owner) coming and instantly changes the mood again, knowing someone is covering him and the child. Nevertheless, he
