The store owner seems so relaxed about the whole thing!

I personally thought that was awesome

The responsible alleged adult in me feels I should think "what if that was a child reaching for candy? A dog should never react like that, that was bad."

Yay for the dog!

good dog!

I think this might be a video of him training the dog, not an actual holdup. Notice that the timer on the camera starts at 00:00. If this were real security cam footage, it would be time-stamped with the time of day. Also, the "attacker" is wearing a heavy jacket and the store owner is wearing a light, short-sleeved shirt. $10 says the "attacker" is a decoy in a sleeve.

I think Emoore is right on this one. If you pause at 10secs in, you can see the jacket is previously damaged where the dog would latch on, and it appears there is a bite-sleeve colored "thing" below the jacket. By the way, that is clearly a firearms store, not a liquor store.

I agree, it was staged. It was a gun store, once the dog engaged, had it been a real robbery attempt, the store owner would have had a gun in his hand. I also didn't like that the dog let go and had to reengage.

Clearly staged is right. I liked the boost that the owner gave to the dog!

I laughed, good dog! I loved the boost the owner gave the dog. I do not care if it was staged. I don't think the dog thought so.

Agree on this count! And although every gunstore employee I've ever seen has a concealed carry weapon at their side (Indiana does not require you to actually conceal your CC weapon) it is cool to see the employee resorting to more non-lethal means of defense. I suppose it is possible that some states/cities don't allow concealed carry...
