The Love Of Dogs
The beautiful expressions of 58 dogs in under 4 minutes.
Over the course of the last year, I filmed the expressions of dogs that came to stay at a boarding kennel where I work. There was always so much emotion behind their eyes and I imagined what they could say if they could talk. Every dog dealt with being temporarily separated from their home and family they loved in a different way.
Some barked- sometimes non-stop, others waited patiently for their family to return. Some were happy, some were sad, some excited, and others depressed. But they all had one thing in common- no matter the breed, size, shape or color, if you looked into their eyes you could see the deep love for their family and how much they missed them while they were away. I think this is true love. Hug your dog!

tooks 9 months agoI shared this on a forum with other professional POSITIVE dog trainers in my area, and all were horrified by it, myself included. enough so that they couldn’t watch to the end. I find it very disturbing that a kennel client can’t recognize in dogs very clear signs of stress. This video could be used by students of dog training to see how many stress or “calming signals” they can count from each dog. It’s horrifying that this person is passing this off as art. It borderlines abuse.

Umm, I hate to say it but each and every dog in this video gave her some sort of “calming signal” to indicate that they were entirely uncomfortable having a camera in their faces. Lip lickin/flicking, looking away, yawning, head shaking, showing the whites of the eyes are all signs if stress in dogs. Look it up. While meant to be artsy and heartfelt, this fails miserably.

mauser*girl 9 months agoThis is very well done and the black-and-white works well for it. However, after reading the description, I’d like to add this … If I were the owner of one of these dogs boarded at this kennel, and they’d been filmed without my permission and used in this video, I would be pissed. That’s not what I pay for when I board. I pay for people to take care of my dog, not bother them with a camera for their personal gain (making a video / posting it online). This is why I don’t board mine, I leave them with dog-savvy friends. Because you really don’t know what the boarding kennel staff are doing with your dogs while they’re left there.
