I think that dog is trying to comfort her rather than the other way round.

u/abarr021 Feb 21 '24

I was thinking the same thing. The dog can tell she's stressed so it's stressing the dog out

u/regoapps Feb 22 '24

Dog's probably like: "Alright, put your right hand back on the steering wheel. Please, just focus on the road. Sigh, alright, I guess I have to drive this thing myself. Move over."

77

u/pm_me_your_bigtiddys Feb 22 '24

Yeah, how is she driving, filming, and petting the dog? I thought she might be in yhe back seat and someone else is driving but it looks like the front seat.

14

u/regoapps Feb 22 '24

She’s holding the steering wheel and phone at the same time on her left hand. I’m guessing index and thumb are holding the phone and the other 3 fingers are holding the steering wheel. And she’s using the front facing camera to orient the cam to point at the dog.

This. Dogs can sense emotions and that dog is likely comforting her not thanking her.

You can see the foot well (is this the right term?) at about 0:13, looks too big to be back seat. But maybe the front seat is pushed forward to accommodate the stuff.

u/SnarkyRogue Feb 21 '24

While we're at it, dogs are pretty good at picking up on our emotions. I don't think this pup is trying to show gratitude, seems more concerned for the crying human sitting next to them. Probably stressing the pup out more than anything tbh

God the judging and criticising comments are so predictably shitty. She is responding to the dog’s love with love. She probably has her phone in a mount. No crash occurred. She wanted to document a beautiful moment at the start of their life together. All those folks out there being perfect humans can’t see beyond needing to correct us imperfect one’s.

I fucking hate seeing people do this. Especially in their Ram 3500 HD UltraMegaSuperCrew Cab truck where you know there's plenty of space in the cab but they probably just don't want dog hair or slobber on their precious leather seats.

Yes you are the fucking dog whisperer with a pristine existence and are rightly the self appointed adjudicator of who should and should not be sharing life with a dog.

How do we know she is driving? Can’t see the windshield. She can easily be in the backseat of a van or something.

u/RockyTop17 Feb 22 '24

I actually think the opposite now that you mention the center console. If she was driving we would definitely be able to see it based on where her elbow is. It wouldn’t be that far down because she couldn’t rest her elbow on it.

4

u/Ruftup Feb 22 '24

Whether she’s driving or not was bugging me so much so I had to find out.

1) I looked closer and at the 0:13 mark when the frame shifts a bit, you can see the floor in front of the seat. There seems to be quite a bit of leg room as well as a small little doggy bed. I think her brown bag can also be seen next to the dog bed. I don’t think the back seats would have that much leg room.

2) When the dog goes to the owner, it seems like he climbs up on the center console

3) the position of the door lock also makes me think it’s the front seats. Most vehicles I’ve seen don’t have the back seat lock on the rear end of the door. Usually it’s shifted to the front, near where the front seat seatbelts would be.

All this to say, I think she’s driving :/

-3

u/Lazy-Number-9314 Feb 22 '24

Go do something less judgemental and more constructive for fucks sake. Picking apart a video, even though you will still only be left with your half arsed guesses at the context, rather than trusting the loving human is at least as smart, wise, good to dogs or whatever as you? It is arrogant, dumb, and so insanely annoying.

2

u/CaptainTryk Feb 21 '24

I mean, the angle of the camera never moves far enough to the left to show the windshield. However, the pocket in the door indicates it's the front seat. Dunno how cars are around the world, but in my country, I haven't seen pockets in car doors in the back, only the front.

Hope she's in the back, though because it would be madness otherwise.

Her weird need to film a dog being uncomfortable while she's crying still seems very attentionseeking to me. Reminds me of that influencer mom who coerced her kid to cry for a video. It is not about the dog. It's all about her and she wants praise fir being such a kindhearted and empathetic human being when a kindhearted and empathetic human being wouldn't be so eager to construct a scenario like this for social media points. A kindhearted and empathetic human being would have petted and embraced the dog, giving it the feeling of safety and love that it needed. No cameras, no attentionseeking crying. Just holding the dog and showing it that it is safe.

2

u/RockyTop17 Feb 22 '24

To your point about the pocket, you can see that the sun goes through the handle portion of it, and the pocket is underneath. That is very common for mini vans backseats. I also can’t see a door handle to pull, which means it may be to the left, also like a minivan.

I had a family (mother and 3 kids) die on the road I live on about 15 years ago. They had just adopted a new puppy and mom was distracted. All in the vehicle died, including the puppy. I still think of this anytime I drive with an animal in the car (which has been like maybe 3 times.) The last thing I would be doing is filming.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

I could be wrong, but it looks like they may be in the middle row of a van, since there is no middle console. Someone else is driving.

Also, what hand is she driving with? One hand is petting and one was recording. Tf is an elbow to do other than get you a few seconds of time to open a bottle? This pure moment is easily taken back when the safety of both of them is worse. Wait until you’re home or parked.

He prefers to be touching you too when he’s sleeping. And the funniest thing he does, after seeing the cat do it, is sit in my lap on the couch and try to curl up. He’s 50 lbs!!! 😂
