The owner didn't need to speak; the dog handled the entire situation
ADHDeanASL@Rainmaker1973 Kudos to that passenger who immediately knew what to do.
munkisquisher@adhdeanasl @Rainmaker1973 don't pat service dogs while they are working though
@munkisquisher Nobody patted the dog. The man seated moved his hand down to grab his bag. Might have made contact with the dog, but didnβt pet. @Rainmaker1973
@adhdeanasl @Rainmaker1973 ah all good good! Looked on first watch that he was giving it a scratch under the chin and stopped when he realised it was a service dog.
@Rainmaker1973 Alt text: Person using a guide dog enters a busy subway train. The dog goes right to the reserved seat and noses the person sitting there, who immediately grabs his bag and stands, holding the folding seat down for the person with the dog. All happens in just a few seconds with no fuss.

Oh he was holding the seat down! I was wondering about that. Utterly decent fellow.

Filmed from the vision-impaired person's point of view, their guide dog (labrador?) leads them into an underground rapid transit carriage, nudging the person sitting on a priority seat to get up and let the owner sit down. The dog sits too and cosily nestles in between the owner's legs, showing a clear bond and understanding between the two.

@Rainmaker1973 ugh, the account is a bot.

I take it back - the other option is to block the whole instance. It's shoveling X shit at us.

Paul SchoeYes, @Rainmaker1973 is a bot account.
But it is also proof that being a 'bot' account is not synonymous with being 'bad'.
The account distributes some amazing videos, and the selection shows that the makers have their hearts in the right place.
It's a cute video, may be staged, but who cares? It is nice, kind.
However. They aren't "makers"
It's just sucking things in from X and posting them here. Original creators be damned.
I looked at other posts, also unattributed, no alt-text and rare attributions, but only to the account that posted it.
So many instances require posts be self-made or attributed to the creator, but an instance like this just has 3 rules, 1 of which is "don't interact with the bots."
I am aware that they are not the makers.
But the videos they post are often worthwhile and usually accompanied by a short description, so they have seen and selected the videos.
Accreditations would of course, be a lot better, and I can imagine people not following because that is missing.
They do not remove anything as well. It is very clear that this video came from 'The Dodo', a channel that I trust.
JungYulKim Dotcom Free PressIt takes a lot of effort to train those dogs, and then they are carefully selected for service.
And the dogs are really good looking too.
Ryan The Red π₯οΈπ²πΊπ³οΈβπ@Rainmaker1973 That is a well trained dog. Somebody put in the work. <3
