Dog suddenly attacks man
After a minute of enjoying care and petting, the dog suddenly reacted aggressively.
In a shocking turn of events, the dog jumped upon him and attacked him.
It allegedly bit his hand and left him injured during the unexpected attack.
Soon, a person washing the cars parked nearby tried to shoo away the dog as the man also made efforts to rescue himself.
Why could have the dog suddenly become violent?
Aakash Shukla, who describes himself as a dog behaviorist on Instagram, took note of the incident and said, "This scenario happens with insecure dogs where a dog generally tends to ask for direction but ends up getting physical affection and baby talks‼️This confuses the dog even more and makes the dog tense."
"Remember, a dog's first language is Energy Body language.
So if we try to talk a dog out of anything, it may not really work and confuse the dog even more," he added.
However, he understood that it is difficult to clearly state what happened to the dog suddenly without knowing the actual situation there or watching a longer version of the video.
"Now we don't know the context behind the video or what this dog and the human does before the video starts or what external triggers are around, but there was definitely something that made the dog feel insecure and go to the human to claim the human and find comfort and direction and with all the miscommunication and tension built up, this reaction happened," Shukla wrote on Instagram.
