Man Films Dog, Dog Bites Shark

Video
» 18 comments

So. You guys know how I feel about sharks and the ocean and the fact that these are basically monster fish swimming around in a giant, dark pool of dead animal pee pee. It’s all just so gross and… lurky? Lurky. It’s just awful.

But a dog riding on a shark in the ocean? That I can tolerate.

As an Australian man provides a play-by-play (because of course), two little dogs paddle their way over a shiver of circling sharks. “Oh my God,” you’re thinking to yourself, because you didn’t notice the title of this post, somehow, “Is that shark gonna eat the living s#$% out of that dog! I must watch and find out. Also, how cool that I now know that a group of sharks is called a ‘shiver.’”

But, you guys, twist ending. The dog totally dives down and begins attacking the shark! What a baller thing for a little dog to do. Bonus: Random dead ocean monster!

Have a look:

    Even Chuck Norris has respect for that dog.

    Maybe the shark is a Dogfish shark.

    Great, an idea for another crappy movie on the SyFy network. That being said, those Aussies have some bad-ass dogs.

    Actually it’s the fault of Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (193-211CE)

    The dog was later arrested for biting an endangered animal.

    Poor dogs. They didnt know any better. What kind of person does this ? A sickening feeling in my stomach! *SIGHING*

    EDIT: That’s a manatee.. So cute! :)

    Thank for pointing out the dugong and the dinner plate comment. In the US some very foolish folks in FLORIDA are fighting prevention of harm to Manatees because they don’t want a little inconvenience. 

  • Stryder

    They look like nurse sharks.  Which, if they so desired, could easily take down these dogs.  The guy filming this is a moron.

  • Stryder

    Dugongs are an endangered species.  This *sshole should go to prison.

    I hear that those things are pretty tasty if cured and smoked as bacon. Doubt that I would ever try it. Beef, bacon, lamb and salmon are enough.
    Damned if I would ever put my dogs in with shark, but what the heck, survival of the fittest. It is the owners choice.

    You sir are an idiot-

    ~Most Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders are legally allowed to hunt
    dugongs in Australian waters. To them the dugong is often more than just
    an important food source; it is central to their culture, economy and
    even religion~

    1When a dugong is brought back to the land for butchering, its head2must be faced back in the direction of the sea. This is so the3spirit of the dugong can return to the sea.4The only internal organ of the dugong which is eaten is the small5intestines all other organs are removed.6Dugong meat is cooked in a ground oven. ‘The ground oven7is approximately 1 metre deep, 1 to 2 metres in width and 28metres in length. The ground oven is filled with wood which is9set alight. While the‘wood is burning, the stones are thrown into the10fire to get hot.11When the wood has burnt down to hot coals the heated stones are12removed . Green mangrove branches are laid on the bed of leaves13and the hot stones placed on top of the meat., The oven is then14covered with dirt to seal in the heat. The meat is left to cook15for approx 8 hours.16After the meat has been eaten, all the scraps and bones are17thrown back into the ground oven and burnt. The belief is that18failure to dispose of the bones correctly will result in a19cessation of successful hunting. The rib-cage sections, head,20and flippers of the dugong, are considered sacred. These are the sections21which are placed into the ground oven.

    I guess you were just too bothered to use that google.

    Oh Jesus Christ People, is it too much trouble to turn on your brains?  This guy did not kill the manatee, nor were the dogs his. Can any of you READ????  This story is all over the Internet including the i nterviews with the filmer.  Even his comments IN the clip clearly indicate that these are not his dogs!  JFC!
