Actually I have seen dogs before I have four of my own which are very loved. My dogs have their own beds and not crammed like a can of sardines like your video here.

[followhounds]

@inkcrazysara The difference is that yours are pet dogs, and these are working hounds.

is it too crowded for them?

[followhounds]

@cpu1917 That's just the bed, which opens out onto an outdoor yard. In the heat of the Summer most of the hounds will sleep out on the yard.

Bed? looks like a rocky basement...

[followhounds]

@VaIIentine That's a traditional raised hound bed. Insulated to make it cool in Summer without bedding and warm in Winter with bedding.

Believe it or not, these look like happy hounds. Pet dogs are too humanized.

@AdrianHconnection I try:)

[AdrianHconnection]

@DVDISCO Well said :)

i bet it fucking stinks in there

[DVDISCO]

@inkcrazysara lol this is not crammed, if they were uncomfortable they would show signs of stress and probably attack each other! think of how dogs sleep! curled up in a tight little ball, and if there are other doggy friends chances are they r huddled together, so what I see here are nice lookin dogs acting like dogs:)

I have been watching these videos of working hounds over in other countries and seeing all the negative feedback. Those dogs are in better condition than 90% of the dogs in "our" homes. These dogs have a purpose... to put dinner on the table. They are a tool and not a pet. Not that the caretakers are indifferent, but their mentaility is different. Before you had Fido sitting at your feet being your everfaithful companion there were working dogs. I have a hunting pack of hounds myself.

@abarford1, Sorry, but I'm still not feeling the love. All I see is cold concrete & indifference.

[abarford1]

@neomuttley Dogs do deserve to be loved, but theres no lack of love in this video, you want to put carpet or pillows down that'll just bring up the temperature, they have each other to lean on or to cuddle in close if it is cold but they cant do much if it's too hot lol. These guys are calm and content which is an great state for a dog to be in.

Working dogs are the happiest because they love routine and purpose. Think about that while you kennel your dog all day and go to your cubicle.
