THE OTHER END OF THE LEASH
Welcome to an ongoing inquiry about the behavior of people and dogs. I would like this to be a forum for people who are both intellectually and emotionally fascinated by the behavior of the animals at both ends of the leash. My hope is that it will become a place for an informed and thoughtful consideration of the amazing relationship between people and dogs—my two favorite species.

Wonderful! Thanks for posting this. I especially love at about :27 where the baby and the dog are both waiting for more bubbles with the same look of anticipation.

Very sweet—love that infectious laugh, and Bennie is such a good boy!
Peace to all in this Holy season!

Aww, I love how the dog is noticeably much more gentle when the baby’s hand is near the last bubble he gets. Too cute!

oh my goodness, that was lovely! I’m sharing.

Adorable. I’m amazed at the dog eating the bubbles. My dogs don’t like the taste of traditional soap bubbles. I tried to find bacon bubbles, but I guess they are only in the UK.

My dog is reactive to children and started growling when I played the video. Silly dog. I used it as a CC opportunity and pulled out the treats. I’ll have to find more videos of babies/children laughing and screaming and use them as training opportunities.

Oh that is just TOO cute! I could listen to that baby laugh all day long . . . and the dog seemed to be having a pretty darned good time too!

OMG! Thank you so much for sharing this! I laughed soooo hard! Heck, I’m still smiling!

I love how the dog inhibits his response when he gets close to the baby! Very nice! Great video.

What a fantastic video! And the laughter is contagious! It’s such a well-developed almost adult laugh for a baby, which makes it even cuter.

Great video…and featuring local characters! This is Bennie the dog and he lives next door to a very good friend of mine on Madison’s West side.
