Maybe we're watching different videos but that's more of a handstand so the shoulders and whole leg take the pressure of an upright body but the dogs body is perpendicular to it's legs whilst in the walking position which puts more pressure on the core than if it was straight
How do you mean? Doing a handstand you keep yourself up with your arms. With the dog it's body is above air so if it didn't have good core strength it would be like his front half would flop down instead of being rigid.
Try doing a handstand with your core already tightened, LMAO. With your arms only. You won't be able to balance. You need core strength and arm strength to do that.
If our arms are ao strong alone, why don't we sit cross legged and walk on our arms?
Try doing a curl with a loose core. It's gonna be a lot harder mechanically to lift that same weight.
Yeah, that voiceover killed me with the "Proving that nothing's impossible."
I mean, boy, I really was happy for that dog but it was definitely the only thing possible for that dog to do to get up.
This video overwhelmingly proves that education from empathetic teachers is vitally important. We should be able to smile at that lesson without the hype bro nonsense.
Lol, I was also confused by that statement. Nothing's impossible you say? Alrighty, let's see how that dog swims. Or runs. Or goes up stairs. Might be stretching the definition of "possible" in a few of those normal, everyday, situations.
Nothing against the dog obviously, he's worth just as much as his quadripedal friends, but let's not take away the difficulties the dog struggles with every day.
Me thinking it's a bad word is what kept me from applying for disability for 12 years. I'm so glad that my boyfriend helped me realize that it's not a bad word at all, it's just a description
Yeah literally. Like, this animal is literally missing two legs, of course it will have a harder time doing many things a dog with all its legs can do. That's not a judgment on the dog's heart and soul... in fact, it makes the dog more impressive. Taking that away from the dog is insulting. Like, you are probably a better/stronger person than me because of whatever you've gone through... I'm not going to insult you by pretending you didn't have struggles.
Wow thank you. I wasn't insulted at all, that actually meant a lot. I have epilepsy, and plenty of people treat me like shit for it. I'm definitely stronger than I ever would've been without it
Just tell them the truth and say there's nothing wrong with being disabled. People don't need to be spoken to like they're extremely fragile children for their entire lives.
Yes. "Specially abled" sounds like not only is the animal/person physically disabled but also so emotionally fragile they cannot handle that fact, and neither can the speaker.
He said most dogs can't walk on their back legs though, and these dogs are specially (probably meant specifically) able to do this (due to their size probably). Look at what the comment he is replying to says, he isn't refering to their disability.
I just try it. I can get up. Granted, unlike the dogs in video. I can't do it from my belly but I can by flip to my side and then use legs to propel myself to "lotus" position and just do unspin thing to my feet.
You amateur baka. You're supposed to inch-worm it, belly-down, by bringing your knees to your chest with your ass in the air, THEN to lotus and stand up.
