...dogs often get very excited when they hear children crying loudly or yelling and will react by mauling them without actually harming them.
...this kid has yelled while playing his video games before. Now the parents and the kid all realize that everytime the kid yells this dog is going to do this.
...i've seen this happen twice in my lifetime (a mauling reaction, not a humping reaction...but i'm not surprised) and it's frightening when you don't understand that the dog has no intention to do harm...although may unknowingly.
...the parents obviously have seen this dog do this enough times to understand that he will react this way everytime the kid yells and decides this is funny entertainment...there are problems on many levels with this.
1. This dog will continue to do this to other children (because he's not being trained not to), perhaps smaller children, and could poke an eye out, knock them over on a sidewalk where they hit their heads, or emotionally traumatize them.
2. The kid will suffer from lack of appropriate parental role models.
3. Public disgrace, thanks to the parents, has exposed this child to cyberspace via youtube. what happens when he's running for president and the media or the other political party decides to dig up some dirt on him...end of dream.
