Let's see. Hmmm. Avoidance of eye contact. Showing of upper teeth (dog smile). Non cowering, that is, he stays in an upright sitting position, not in a laying position. All showing subordination, not fear.
I really think you believe that this is a mistreated dog, but it isn't. You just have take the time to read the dogs behavior in dog terms not in human terms.

You can put any twist you want on this video.I found it sad and disturbing.When i saw the way the dog was acting,i wanted to intervene for the dog.This guy took pleasure in making his dog upset,then telling the dog to go to his punishment area for eating snacks he left in the dogs area..He even took a video and put it on youtube.It left a bad feeling in my stomach.
I dont think you know jack# about the range of dogs emotions.If you did,you would also find this upsetting what this dog was going through.If I was on premises I would have stopped it,i can guarantee that.

I think the only one's placing a "twist" on anything are those that are confusing animal behavior with human emotions. The dogs behavior, when read within the understanding that it is merely a dog that acts in a subordinate manor. Not out of guilt, which in not an animals behavior, but a human emotion that dogs are not capable of.
