[Midnightryder7]

[Cupcakeslover5384]

The dogs Like oh shit what do I do ??

[greginfl]

this is cool!

[B2OOKE1]

The point of this video isn't the fact the dogs wearing a cone... Some people.

[carole777]

bubblebrownsugar616.......desc­ription wasnt there when i saw this vid!! If it was ...it would have xplained the cone wouldnt it.

[scooby172]

Dogs and cats have to wear the cone thing after they get neutered or spayed to make sure they don't mess up the stitches on their privates. My dog had one too and it looked funny as shit. xD

[daysybotello]

oh saw dog in houes earthquake

[sjanderson13]

I bet he could still hear it a few seconds after it passed too. Poor worried puppy

[carole777]

poor thing. whats with the clone? i dont find it amusing to see animals frightened and esp wearing that thing around its neck. sad!!

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@carole777 Read the description! They said he's wearing it until the hair on his legs grow back. I don't think no one finds this amusing in a comedic way. It's just showing dogs knew it would happen before it happened.

[jerzeybastard]

The dog reacts before the earthquake starts,,,,i love it!

[jtors5]

jesus christ put that thing down if he needs to walk around with that thing on his head.

[thepisces1963]

I SURVIVED THE SAME QUAKE !!!!!!!!!!!

[ryanr528]

LMFAOOO AT THAT CLONE ON ITS HEAD!!

[alzorama]

I didn't see the dog at first and then this cone starts moving.

[rgarcia77]

"Damnit, first I get my crotch shaved off, then I gotta wear this fricken helmet, then I haveta be alone during my 1st quake, shit!'

[MeLikeGtaIv]

Poor dog

[MrZRACER]

poor dog, has a cone and is all alone and cna't navigate outside.

[Volim2]

hahaaha i love it XD

[CRobbart]

I didn't realize that was a cone on his nick until he first got up...caught me off guard but it was kinda funny!

poor dog :[

[Time4TruthDOTorg]

LMFAO is that a darthvader helmet on the dog?

[moshobmx]

aww pour little guy

[eej2121]

hahahaha the cone of shame :P

poor puppy he was alone when it happened

good video thanks for sharing

[adesib]

Well, the explanation is quite simple, as the earthquake occured two kind of sismic waves : Primary wave (P wave or compression wave) at a speed of 6 km/s and Secondary wave (S wave or shear wave) at a speed of 4km/s.

distance epicenter to Washington DC= is 135 km => Pwave travel time= 22 seconds

=>Swave travel time=33 seconds, Swave arrives 11 seconds after Pwave!

The dogs wakes up at time 0:14 and earthquake shakes at 0:14 +11s= 0:25s !!!

[salikagroeg]

What the fuck did you put on his neck??!

[HiImCaysE]

This dog doesn't sense the earthquake before it hits... it senses the very minute tremors that are building up before WE can feel them.

[glossyxokizzez]

the dogs reaction was pretty much the same as mine during the earthquake. running in circles in the living room, looking around thinking WTF!

[victor190779]

Way back, in 1972, the leader of a children´s home in Managua, Nicaragua, had recently read a story about the Chinese doing research on animal behaviour in the minutes before an earthquake.

One evening a pet monkey in the patio started panicking. The man erred on the side of caution, woke up all the kids and evacuated the house, just minutes before the city was leveled.

They all survived.

[elcalembo069]

@victor190779 really??

[victor190779]

@elcalembo069 Yup - the story is well-known among older nicas...

[Troublesome2008]

@elcalembo069

"Staff at a zoo in Washington, D.C., reported that some of the animals appeared to show behavior suggesting that they anticipated the quake minutes before it was felt in the area. Ten seconds before the quake, many of the apes abandoned their food and climbed to the top of a tree-like structure in the exhibit. The lemurs sounded an alarm call about 15 minutes before the quake, and the flock of 64 flamingos rushed and grouped themselves together just before the quake".

[VeriSheri]

Poor boy, he didn't know what to do!

[MrJamal63]

I thought was lamp on the couch!! lmao!!

[Toontownlover1000000]

I SAW THIS ON THE NEWS! Do u know a girl named Chloe?

[cwatson81]

@Toontownlover1000000 Sorry, I don't know a girl named Chloe

[bgoldrock]

Awww, that is so sad. He must have been scared. You can see the picture on the wall shaking. When my dog was a pup, she had to wear that cone on her head too, after she was neutered.

[MrJesus188100]

Poor doggie just imagine him getting stuck at the door trying to get out

[Marc4360]

haha the cone

[sar268]

@2402aditya1

I hate you. this is the lamest thing ever. What are you, like 9 years old?

[Illuminateify]

Poor thing must have been terrified!

[SuperMrHappyPants]

Holy crap, my cat did the same thing

[crxtech1]

hes like dad where are you

[alen209]

poor dog it was like wtf going onn

[mromancito]

They showed this on our local news this morning and I could not rest until I found it on youtube. I laughed so hard the first time I saw it, my two dogs actually left the room :)

[cwatson81]

@mromancito I finally found the video clip on the news. I'm guessing LA's local ABC station, right?

[mromancito]

@cwatson81 actually it was our local affiliate in Albuquerque, NM, KOAT. We just had a little 5.3 last week with some aftershocks. Lots of magma harmonics which are making my dogs stick to my side constantly.

[alzorama]

@mromancito Your dogs left the room because they were so embarrassed by one of their own with that dreaded cone around its head. lol

[jpwickl]

The elizabethan collar (cone) is so the dog doesn't lick or bite himself.

[stefanybody]

FORGET ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE, WHAT IS MARMADUKE WEARING ON THAT NECK HOW RIDICULOUSSSS LOL.

[001assassinsmom]

smart dog. so interesting how he walks around then stops and listens then walks around some more. checking things out! just like a human. lol.

[001assassinsmom]

lmao!

[amymvanarkel]

I live in Southern California and my dog has done the same thing right before an earthquake. The last big one that we had, he actually jumped up on our bed and woke up my husband and I. They can feel the waves that us humans cannot.

[faucetlova07]

looooooooooooool @ the cone

[GuideGuyJDurr]

dogs somehow can tell somethings wrong before the earthquake actually hits! weird ive seen other videos of dogs freaking out a few seconds before the quake even hits

[cadge31]

@GuideGuyJDurr Yeah, I was just about to comment on the same thing. There are other animals too, not just dogs, that can sense an earthquake before it hits. It's really really amazing.

[kungfudoggie]

there is a soft collar also that you can use. It's pretty cool. Good puppy!

[aliaFaith]

the dog jumped up before the shaking. cool...

[Fabulist]

All six of my dogs slept through it.

[EricAlvUsa91]

Dog: What the fuck is this shit?

[Monisrocks1995]

great catch

[McMe]

@taylorbutt2007 Earthquake radar

[MoreLikeCappuccino]

@McMe Funnest comment i have read in my entire life

[bgirldeb]

i do not like the cone of shame

[dicf21]

My cat does the same. I live in Chile, a sismic country (my english is not well)

[katyatorres15]

Aaw poor dog he didn't know what to do

[prospector89]

Notice the dog felt it before stuff started shaking.

[Sugars00]

aww poor baby he was probably so scared. I know it kinda knocked me off the couch and my dogs ran over to me so we were just huddling on the ground lol glad he's ok!

[runawaymax]

awww, your dog is so cute! you could see how he felt it before it even started!
