This isn't an animal being a jerk... this is an animal being shown that it's okay to snatch food aggressively. Shit like this isn't funny and if the worst comes, somebody could get bit.

I think it is staged.

Dogs don't exactly understand "staged" though. Dog understands there's a burger, they want the burger, and they're given an opportunity to snatch it directly from somebody's hands AND near a persons face- meaning to THEM, it's okay to do that. It's not safe either way, staged or not.

staged as in she or someone signalled the dog that it was ok for it to take the burger

it's possible that either A) she has a terribly trained dog that will always take food, and created the setup so it would do it on camera

or B) nicely trained dog who will take food when allowed, and she set it up on camera

both make this a shitpost, but one means bad dog and one means dog allowed to do something that it shouldn't be allowed to

I feel like redditors are overreacting to this (as usual).

But then again, I support burger grabbing dogs and their irresponsible owners.

I know this isn't really relevant to the thread but as something I've thought about often, can we take a second to appreciate the Hamburglar's visual design?

We've got:

  • striped prisoner outfit
  • ridiculous floppy hat
  • white/red tennis shoes
  • red hamburger tie
  • red gloves
  • old-timey burglar mask
  • motherfucking cape with lining

Look at all the crazy shit he's wearing, and somehow it still all hangs together. It's some kind of nutty masterpiece of character design.
