For all the dog knew, his portly and topless male owner face-changed into Julia Roberts.

I'd be scared too.

[–]EricLensherr 11 points12 points ago

She has a boney face, like she is mad hungry.

[–]tswanbeast[S] 2 points3 points ago

When she tries to hard to smile with teeth she scares the crap out of me as well...

[–]real_nice_guy 1 point2 points ago

"Why isn't that human eating? she has hands with which to open the mystical food-giving fridge machine."

Wonder what happens when you show him Sarah Jessica Parker.

nay

Someone else was standing behind the guy holding the magazine with the dog's ball. From the camera perspective it looks like the dog is following the face on the magazine. Pan away from the hallway on left briefly and the 2nd guy teases the dog with the ball and throws it into the hallway. The dog chases it, but the ball is never seen due to the camera angles. Do I win a prize?

Edit: One giveaway is the dog initially tries to look behind the magazine and moves to his left.

[–]Toyotaobsession 12 points13 points ago

A Husky that fetches?

Blasphemy!

Mine only kills small mammals and runs away.

[–]xpinchx 4 points5 points ago

Mine will fetch once. When she brings it back and I throw it again she just watches it bounce away then looks back to me as if saying "Go get it yourself this time dumbass."

Huskies are too smart for their own good. :C

[–]Toyotaobsession 1 point2 points ago

The best I've gotten mine to do is chase it, state at it, and walk back like "yep it stopped over there."

Of course she'll chase anything that moves.

[–]Bagelson 0 points1 point ago

Our dog will go get it, then try to get you to chase him to get it back. Failing that, he will find a quiet place to chew it to pieces.

| Do I win a prize?

no. your explanation doesn't really make sense if you take a look at the original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtT9X4eT_Ss

the way the dog acts throughout the whole video is incongruent with how they usually do when being teased with a ball. this is most evident at mark 0:16-0:22, when the dog runs up to the owner after being called upon to do so instead of whoever would have been holding the ball.

moreso, the uploader only has 4 videos in total, all of her dog, and all of them seem to have a carefree manner about them that should lead one to believe that they are unscripted.

a more likely scenario is that the page with julia roberts' face on it also had an advertisement of perfume. dogs have a much stronger sense of smell than we do and so the dog was put off by that to the point of running out of the room.

do i win a prize?

[–]farkinjesus -1 points0 points ago

Beat me to it, here's your prize!nsfw

[–]Fremdschaemer -1 points0 points ago

Wow, great observation. I've seen this gif before, but never noticed how the dog looks a bit to the left. This is clearly the right explanation.

[–]NopeNotConor 0 points1 point ago

Dat username.

[–]Fistocuffs 2 points3 points ago

Honestly I think the simple answer is this guy beats his dog with crumpled up magazines.

[–]Mildapprehension -2 points-1 points ago

There's also the fact that a dog wouldn't see a face printed in 2d on paper, dogs can't see that stuff. source: Turner & Hooch (1989)

[–]whingeface 5 points6 points ago

"Betsy is capable of interpreting the correlation between a two-dimensional photograph and the object it depicts, and is able to retrieve the item simply by seeing the image, despite never having seen the depicted object or the photograph before."

No, no... She totally is.

Not as scary as those man-boobs

[–]eatponiespoorainbows 1 point2 points ago

Is that mishka?

[–]Elpickle -1 points0 points ago

I think Julia Roberts is very very pretty. But I still find this funny.

[–]SwitchesDF -1 points0 points ago

Still an awful lot of tail-wagging.

Hey guys ill be right back.. Gotta use the bathroom.

[–]rstuart88 0 points1 point ago

I think the dog was afraid his owner would expose his unreal manboobs again!

[–]expert02 0 points1 point ago

Can't tell, is that Wil Wheaton?

Then you're as blind as Anne Frank.

It just has to be the teeth. Julia Roberts always did strike me as having an enourmous mouth full of huge, too white, too perfect, fake looking teeth. I can see that being scary to a dog.

[–]eugenianus 0 points1 point ago

I assume it's the eyes - they look canine.

[–]Ignitus 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes while watching her in films I get a feeling... no a fear, that she will unhinge her jaw and eat babies whole like the reptilian that her Julia suit hides so well

[–]Haywood_Jafukmi 0 points1 point ago

It would make more sense if it were Sarah Jessica Parker.

Moobs.

[–]humongous 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking in my head: I hope this is not the repost with the magazine and the dog.

YOU FUCKING DOUCHEBAG

[–]Dr_Thomas_Roll 0 points1 point ago

Her face appears to be in an ad, and we know how far graphic artists go with photoshop when editing that kind of picture. Now when a dog sees a human face he usually locks in on the person's eyes, and if there's something strange about the eyes the dog finds that very confusing and is likely to go into flight mode.

Also there's probably perfume on the page as has been mentioned by someone else, and that would reek very strongly to a dog. Hell, I think that kind of ad turned me off print magazines.

[–]satisfyreality 0 points1 point ago

Awe he's just shy around the ladies.

HI

For those of you who are laughing at this:

The poor thing was obviously beaten with a Julia Roberts as a puppy.

[–]v1kingfan 0 points1 point ago

It's cuz she's a ginger

[–]callmesomethingelse -1 points0 points ago

Oh hey look a repost. No OC huh? That's rough

[–]simplejack0113 0 points1 point ago

the training to get him to do that must've been brutal

[–]circusgirl -2 points-1 points ago

Ok somebody needs to post that scary GIF of Julia Roberts laughing. Please.

[–]manominous -2 points-1 points ago

Careful, if this gets too many upvotes she'll make it into a movie.

[–]Madflagz -3 points-2 points ago

He's just making some sort of noise that scares the dog. His lips are even moving when the dog first starts to freak out.

[–]classy_laz 4 points5 points ago

here's the video, he's not making a noise to scare the dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtT9X4eT_Ss
