    Wildly disingenuous characterization of the test. It’s not a test of unwarranted aggression. You took four words out of context without reference to the fact that it says “in the face of a threat.” Dogs are supposed to protect you (or themselves) when faced with a real threat. So are humans.

        You didn’t even quote a full sentence, so yes it’s out of context. That’s how quoting things out of context works.

            You deliberately took a phrase out of context to completely change the meaning and are not working extremely hard to pretend you didn’t understand the meaning of the original article. It’s very clear you aren’t here to argue in good faith, but are more likely trolling.

                It’s one sentence. Just read the entire sentence you snipped those four words from. You come to a completely different conclusion with that full context.

                    Theirs is not a legitimate interpretation. They are trolling. You cannot reach their conclusion by reading that full sentence, which is why they took four words out of context.

      Are you implying there was a real threat to the owner if they dogs didn’t step in? RIP all the participants whose dogs weren’t able to save them from injury.

        That is literally what this test is for, yes. Not all dogs are just pets, many are working dogs and part of their jobs is to protect their owners from real threats. This test simulates every possible circumstance.
