"Well...might as well get comfortable."

If ever a dog's body language read, "ugghh."

[–]Kelter_Skelter 132 ポイント133 ポイント  (52子コメント)

Is that type of weight on a dog of that size a bad thing or is he good? How can you tell when kids sitting on pets is okay or not okay?

[–]VenetiaMacGyver 135 ポイント136 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Well, the girl probably doesn't weigh more than 80lbs-ish. The dog doesn't look like it's in any pain (and isn't showing a single sign of stress), and likely weighs 50-60lbs itself.

It's probably not a good idea to let her sit on the dog for too terribly long, and certainly not a good idea if the dog is injured or elderly ... But it probably wouldn't be any different from having a friend who's a little bigger than you sitting on you for a bit.

The dog looks chill enough to be able to emote when it doesn't like something happening to it, which means the family probably trained it, which means they care, which means the girl probably cares, too, and would get off the dog if she sensed the dog was unhappy.

So there's no danger here. Put the pitchforks away, everyone.

It's not a good idea for just any kid to sit on any dog—but so long as you and the kid know the dog extremely well, and can identify its stress signs, and maintain supervision, then ... This is the whole point of even owning the dog, right? For playful companionship? For a best friend so good they'll gladly put up with any amount of your bullshit just for love?

Edit: Yes yes I cannot assess the weights of children. I haven't been one in a very long time and can probably count the number of times I've interacted with a kid (since I've become an adult) on one hand. Dogs, on the other hand, I interact with all the goddamn time. So ... Sorry, yes, the kid probably weighs less than I said.

80? She's probably about 50

It's good that you included that /s because I had my automatic hacking/doxxing program up on my second monitor building a visual basic gui that I had set to ruin your life.

It was lucky I managed to counter the countdown by recalibrating the main g-diffusers after I read the "/s" or your life could have really been fucked over.

And the dog is much heavier than her. 80-100lbs.

[–]wuzzgud[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My daughter is 4 and around 30lbs, dog is about 50lbs. Watching her try to ride my bigger dog is the best

[–]RedditLocked 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

80lbs? Good lord, your weight prediction ability is off the charts

[–]VenetiaMacGyver 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Look, I know dogs a hell of a lot better than human children, okay?

Which feels odd to say, but ... Come to think of it, I've barely interacted with kids since I was one.

So it's cool that I use my dog as a pillow? Got it.

[–]throw_yo_mama 168 ポイント169 ポイント  (34子コメント)

If I were that girl's parent, I would tell her to NOT sit on the dog. Why? Because dogs are not for sitting on. I'm not sure if her weight is enough to do harm to the dog, but I wouldn't test it. No point breaking a dog's rib just because Ashley doesn't want to sit on a god damn pillow or the ground.

[–]operator-as-fuck 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (0子コメント)

bruh the dog can fucking get up and move. It's not like they sit there while you hurt them. They bark, snap, jump around. Don't even play, it is very clearly, visibly, logically, fine. That child is not hurting it, is not heavy enough, and again...the dog would move if the child was hurting it

whatthefucklol

[–]rustyshackleford193 56 ポイント57 ポイント  (32子コメント)

Why do people always assume animals are these emotionally unstable, feeble porcelain things that need to be carried on a pillow.

I mean, look at the dog. It´s heavier than she is. And a dog is perfectly capable of letting you know it had enough of your bullshit. They can handle slight annoyances perfectly fine, or is your life ruined too when you forgot something and have to walk twice to your car.

And to put things in perspective, children sit, climb and jump on each other plenty of times during play. Look at the enormous crashes wrestlers make, they rarely break something. By your logic even sex is dangerous.

[–]Ellinda 88 ポイント89 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Ofcourse, but as soon as a kid does this kind of thing and the dog snaps by biting, the dog is suddenly vicious etc. When in reality, the parent should have payed attention to what their kid is doing.

Now this dog doesn't look like he's in any kind of stress, but it's better to teach your children how to handle animals than to just let them do what they want until they get bitten and the dog gets the blame.

[–]HipGibbon 47 ポイント48 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I agree. At that point it's just respect for the animal.

[–]quasifun 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Dude. No. My labs are 80 pounds each (a little fat, I know). Labradors are genetically predisposed to hip dysplasia. My youngest girl is 40 pounds, and if she were to sit on them like this, there would be a big yipe and a trip to the vet for pain pills.

Just because a dog is strong doesn't mean their bones can take this kind of weight.

[–]DerNubenfrieken 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

And a dog is perfectly capable of letting you know it had enough of your bullshit.

A dog is also capable of eating his own shit, so I don't really know who to trust

[–]ASlyGuy 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've never actually seen a dog do this before now that you bring it up. And I've been around dogs all my life.

[–]_YouMadeMeDoItReddit 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (17子コメント)

It's a bit disrespectful to sit on someone, same applies to animals.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

[–]rustyshackleford193 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (16子コメント)

It's considered disrespectful to serve someone food in a bowl on the floor gooped from a can, or give them something that fell on the floor, yet we do it to dogs.

Or does your dog eat at the table with the rest of the family.

You're being deliberately absurd to drive home your point that it's okay to use an animal as a chair.

[–]rustyshackleford193 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (14子コメント)

You are being deliberately absurd to try to make this into a "animals are to be used as chairs" argument.

All I see is a little girl sitting on an adult dog, as kids usually do all sorts of gymnastics on big pets, with the pet not really caring. as is clearly obvious from the dogs reaction in the gif

[–]yeniceri11 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't think he'll ever get your point. I understand you tho. Dogs have even it even better when it comes to this kind of pain/damage than humans. All you have to do is take a look at dogs playing rough. I don't get why people want to treat pets like humans etc. A dog is a do with it's ups and downs and that isn't demeaning or such. It's just what it is. He most likely doesn't give a single fuck about that tiny ass girl on top of her, the worst that could happen is her pointy ass bones irritating the dog which she doesn't seem to be sitting in that position. It's all fine when a big ass giant dog get's on top of a kid, he just playing. He knows he's there so its ok. But god forbid a little kid shoved a dog around mindlessly and "oh god that little satan spawn is going to rip the dog apart, limb by limb. Cant you see the poor doggo is dying. Look at him crying." At this point im just typng anything this is quite fun to type on my phone lul xd i should be sleeping by now oh god what am i doing with my life caring enough about these dumb shit and waste my precious time.

[–]_YouMadeMeDoItReddit -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (10子コメント)

If you think I'm being absurd you've not developed any mental faculties past age 11.

She is quite literally using the dog as a chair I'm not making that argument it's the argument and fact that has been presented to us.

Yeah sure it's not actually a physical problem, the dog isn't showing any visible distress I'm not arguing that point which you seem to be hung up on.

Lying with your head on a dog I can understand, nothing wrong with that, sitting on something / someone is just an act of degradation and domination. It's disrespectful and you shouldn't teach people that's okay to degrade something else.

If you're an average person then is it okay for me to use you as a chair? Would you like that?

[–]rustyshackleford193 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (9子コメント)

Falling back on insults, okay.

You are the one comparing dogs and humans here friendo.

[–]_YouMadeMeDoItReddit -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (8子コメント)

So you have nothing to say cool because I'm quite clearly not falling back on insults considering the content of my last reply either that or you can't read, which I wouldn't be surprised about.

Treat animals with respect, it's not difficult. Arsehole.

Its about respect not forgeting something in a car. What are you even talking about forgeting something in a car?

[–]throw_yo_mama 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why do people always assume animals are these emotionally unstable, feeble porcelain things that need to be carried on a pillow.

Who said that? All I said was dogs are not for sitting, and to not risk MAYBE hurting the dog. Thanks for taking what I said and showering it with hyperbole.

And to put things in perspective, children sit, climb and jump on each other plenty of times during play.

She's eating, not playing.

They can handle slight annoyances perfectly fine, or is your life ruined too when you forgot something and have to walk twice to your car.

wat...what does that have to do with anything?

By your logic even sex is dangerous.

LOL

[–]rustyshackleford193 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You are saying the dog is at risk of breaking ribs, while the dog is significantly larger and not in any risk of breaking anything at all. As per the examples of children playing.

[–]throw_yo_mama 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Let's agree to disagree. I won't be teaching my kids to sit on dogs, but feel free to do so.

[–]Speshuls -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly. The dog and girl in this gif are probably /literally/ within 10lbs of each other in weight. Animals play, fight, fall, etc in the wild and in captivity. They're pretty fucking sturdy.

My dog is 100 pounds and stands on me. To date I have not broken any organs because of him.

[–]spectralwolf7 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well, it depends on where he's standing on you. There's also the fact of the difference in the distribution of weight when a dog stands on you and a human sits on you. How much do you weigh?

[–]RadioIsMyFriend 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm at like 280. Very sturdy human. I would never sit on him though but my youngest wouldn't even phase him and she's 70 pounds. I wouldn't teach her to sit on them, but I don't think the dog in the gif gives a shit. That's how my dogs were until my daughter got a lot heavier. Then there was no more laying on them to give them a hug.
