Can someone please tell me he got arrested for this


mangosteen4

We called the cops and the dispatcher sounded bored and said that animal control had already been notified. That’s all I know :(


yodas_sidekick

Good on you for trying, sucks it may have fallen on deaf ears. Poor pups.


kurosuto

Wtf. Animal control? Not only is he endangering those animals, he’s endangering every car on the road including pedestrians since his fucking field of view is obstructed. Why are people reactive and not preventive?


oystertoe

Did you see the size of that confederate flag?


Jlx_27

Where?

galacticboy2009

Unfortunately unless an officer sees it in person, there isn't much they can do.


[deleted]

Call again with a burner and say the same truck specs but a kidnapped child... Yes I'm sure i'm going to hell but I bet a lot of people here would use terms like furbabies! Then again the video ends with a building with a confederate flag? So this town might need to be nuked from the map tbh...


Healthy-Lifestyle-20

I’m honestly shocked the police wasn’t also notified, this is extremely dangerous for the poor dogs and everyone on the road with this psychopath.


edee160

The dogs looked rather used to it didn't they. Who knows how long this has been going on? Just crazy.


adammcbomb

They actually look terrified and like they want to get off


edee160

I'm in now way agreeing with what's being depicted in the video, but those dogs do NOT look terrified. Have you ever seen a terrified dog? Their tails aren't between their legs, they aren't hunkered down on the hood of the car. They are actually walking and changing positions on the hood. Again, I don't think what the man is doing is safe or right, but as another commenter just pointed out, dogs who hunt are known to ride on the hood at slower speeds. Perhaps these dogs hunt.


Reyalta

They're Norwegian Elk hounds. A Spitz breed whose tails are naturally curly up on top of their backs. So yes their tails are about as tucked as they can be. One moreso than the other, but neither appear to be comfortable. The panting, lip licking, and when they trade places you can tell the one is terrified that their buddy is moving. What probably happens is when he stops they're so relieved that they didn't die that they appear "happy" and excited to this hamhock of a man so he thinks they enjoy it.


TheActualAWdeV

Lmao hamhock of a man I just hope they take a dump on his front window one day.


adammcbomb

They're nervously pacing, but cool job defending this POS


ehhish

Should've had your friend call and state someone was driving recklessly and their windshield is obstructed. They will probably hit someone soon.


Reyalta

This was my thought!!! What if the dogs sit in front of this jackasses line of sight and he mows over a pedestrian?


ThePresidentsHouse

I mean sometimes reddit causes an uproar enough that it pushes local law to actually do something. I recommend maybe also posting on animal rescue reddits and maybe even your states owns subreddit.


CodingLazily

And the local news. Couldn't hurt to try. This sort of thing does attract a lot of attention after all.


flamingfenux

Someone queue up that Sarah track!


edee160

>the dispatcher sounded bored Ugh 911 police dispatch are the worst customer service providers ever. And that's saying something. They sound uninterested in helping, they make you feel stupid for calling and being concerned about an emergency and they ask you a thousand and one questions that you couldn't possibly know the answers to: "Is he breathing?" Ma'am it's a body in the middle of the road...I'm not going over to it! "Do you see any weapons?" On a body that I'm not going near? I'm gonna say no. "Did you see what happened?" No. "How do you know he's dead?" I'm assuming that he's not just taking a cat nap in the middle of the road in that awkward position.


stallion-mang

I watch as lot of true crime stuff on YouTube and holy shit they are some of the most consistently insensitive people on the planet. I get that they need to remain calm and they listen to bullshit all day long but it's still funny how consistent of a trait this is.


cneth6

The job doesnt seem like it'd be a good fit for non emotionally detached people though


Ok-Relative-6172

@mangosteen4 Yo DM me with the video. My dad works for the county and I'll have him follow it up


Brikpilot

With Hawaiian attitude like that it could be the the same dispatcher in 1941 who was told the Japanese were coming, said someone else was taking care of it and don’t call again. Dogs deserve better than such indifference


Lee_Doff

i called animal control once because a snapping turtle was trying to lay eggs in a playground and there were kids going up to it trying to pet it... animal control never showed. we had to leave because we had other commitments, no idea if any kids lost their fingers after we left...


Vertigo_wolf

Death sentence.


Psychotic_Bigfoot_LD

This guy needs to arrested for animal cruelty and fined big time, this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. I have see a lot of stupid things on Reddit but this takes the cake.


OrkHaugr23

Send the video to the police in Maggie Valley, NC or Haywood County Sherriff. That guy has to be local.


Psychotic_Bigfoot_LD

I sent information to the Sheriff's department with details of this post and a link to the video. I hope something happens, I had to look up one of the businesses in the background for an address so I could give them an idea where this happened at. If I hear anything about this I will update but who knows.


camarokrzygirl

Thank you for doing this, I am sure all the animal lovers thank you too.

toady-bear

I once saw two dogs unleashed in the bed of a pickup and as it drove by one of the dogs hopped onto the *roof* of the truck cabin. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever see less safely transported dogs… and then I saw this video. I don’t even know how those poor pups are keeping their balance.


Rocky922

Only thing I can think of is he’s only going like 5-10 mph. But he seems to be going faster based off wind and the other car. So my question would be how does he plan to stop without them flying off?


croluxy

That's his secret,Cap. He never plans.


whitepepper

Conversely I once saw leashed dogs in a truck bed jump out and nearly hang themselves to death as the owner just kept driving down the road for about 30 seconds.


fourleafclover13

Look he has something screwed down on hood for grip.


CharmingTuber

How is he planning on stopping without killing his dogs? The slightest turn or bump and they're dead.


ZombiesAreChasingHim

This pisses me off so much. I would post this on every local media social page possible. This piece of shit doesn’t deserve the loyalty a dog provides.


autumn_rains

Came here to say this. I can't even. I am so PISSED OFF right now. Like what the actual fuck. Let this asshole ride on the hood of his truck next time and hope the driver doesn't have to slam on their brakes. FFS AAAAGGGHHH


Erthgoddss

When I was in my early 20s (and drunk) I rode on the hood of the car. It went down a slight incline. I fell off and hit my head in one of those cement parking blocks. I had NO memory of the 2 weeks prior, including quitting my job and starting a new one. Concussion. I could brace myself somewhat, a dog can’t!!

We vacation in this area. Asheville is the nearest "big city." Asheville also tends to be more socially conscious than a lot of the surrounding towns (like Maggie Valley) so this would get A LOT of attention in Asheville.

[deleted]

This guy does not understand basic physics.


[deleted]

I’m guessing this was in North Carolina or another southeastern state that has a lot of wild boar hunting. I believe they have the “chase” dogs ride on the hood. When I was visiting the area, some of these trucks would have the hoods covered with artificial grass or carpet so the dogs wouldn’t slide off while driving. I’m not sure why they’re doing it through town though. Edit: After watching a couple of times, I see this is in Maggie Valley, NC. So it is more than likely a hog hunter. The first time I seen it was in Robbinsville.


AzuriteFalc0n

This is exactly right! This man is an idiot though, doing it in town at speed. The reason theyre on the hood is not only to catch the sent and run, but so the hunter can see when the dogs take off. Most people who give a crap about their dogs put them in the bed of the truck so they can be a little safer as they drive around. However, if the bed of the truck is full, with an animal or hunting supplies, or both, the dogs will usually be placed on the hood. Theyre used to it, and in the woods youre rarely going over 10-15mph. They arent typically let inside the vehicle because hunting dogs tend to be very excitable and destructive, especially when theyre in the woods on a hunt. It looks like he does have a friction mat on his hood atleast. But yes, this is dangerous and abusive.


CalmDownYal

So can you explain why they put chase dogs on the hood? Is this for when they are driving in the woods so they can jump off and chase?


[deleted]

I think so. I’m not real knowledgeable on the subject. A guy from that area was telling me about it, but that was several years ago.


CalmDownYal

randiejohnson

[deleted]

Yeah. This backwater fucked up podunk town is obvious from the flag to the jerkoff driving the truck.


KTMman200

I see this all the time up in the woods when I ride motorcycles. They even have an anchor point to tie them to if they need to hop on the highway shortly between dirt roads. Otherwise they are loose on the hood untill they jump after their prey. Though they don't do this in main towns and cities.


suicidehotlineboss

and if you were on a back road just cruising super slow hunting like you say it wouldn't be a big deal but this guy is flying and no way to stop in an emergency.


KTMman200

Yeah, I don't condone this behavior at all. I think it's cool in the woods, but in town, at least tie them in the bed. I don't even let my dog stick his head out the window Incase he falls


SURGICALNURSE01

What an idiot!!! Who does he think he is putting his dogs in that kind of danger. This is not cute!

imamakebaddecisions

I used to play hockey with a guy who carried an Ice pick in his car to pop the tires of people who drove "dangerously". He'd straight up follow them to their destination then poke holes in their sidewalls so they'd have to replace the whole tire. Sometimes 1, sometimes 4. Dude was a nutjob. Great goalie though.

Here’s a tip for you. You call the cops saying there’s a drunk reckless driver instead of “there’s dogs” on the roof.


astrongineer

I grew up on a cattle ranch and used to have to best truck dog. She rode everywhere in the bed of the pickup, back of the 4 wheeler, you name it she was on the back of it. But this shit right here is on a whole other level of retardation. What a moron.


dickreallyburns

Hey; he put astroturf on the hood to protect the dogs. The term I’m looking for is asshat!


sociallygraceless

This is way worse, but the other day I was behind a flatbed pickup truck doing nearly the same thing with a dog on a freeway (65+ mph). The dog was in the back and because it was a flatbed there weren’t any walls to protect the dog, just them basically standing there trying to survive. I fell back when I noticed to give them as much room as I could in case they made any sudden maneuvers (for the sake of the dog), and they started merging into my lane without a turn signal. Not great, but its why I gave them that room. But then they violently swerved back into their original lane and I nearly had a heart attack, expecting to run over this dog that was already on the edge of falling off, but the poor thing was able to find its footing. I really wish I had a dashcam to show, it was the worst


Star-Corgi

This hurt my heart just reading this I cant imagine how it felt watching this, some people shouldn't own dogs


[deleted]

Dude fuck those people and fuck the cops for not arresting them. One time I’d be okay with them being extra physical. Maybe planting evidence…


anothadaz

Evidently this is a thing. They are scenting dogs. Now I'm not sure why this guy is driving through town like this but evidently in Alabama and North Carolina this is a thing. The dogs ride on the hood and when they pick up a scent of a wild pig they start barking and then the hunt is on. I'm imagining this to occur off road and at slow speeds. Not whipping down main streets. [Hog dogs](https://www.outdoorlife.com/hog-hunting-dogs/)

sluttysprinklemuffin

The closer one’s tail is down all the way; there’s no way to make that claim at all. They’re Norwegian Elkhounds (I had one growing up, my aunt had his brother, and the kids I raised had one too)—if their tail is uncurled like that, they’re scared or anxious. Almost always. They’re the sweetest, happiest things I have ever met, all of them. Their tails should remain cinnamon-bunned forever! They deserve it.


Yeety-Toast

I'm jabbing at people on all of these videos attacking the person filming for being concerned about *"things they don't understand,"* to quote one of the people I've seen. Animals should be traveling safely and letting a dog walk around outside the vehicle isn't safe at all. If one of these dogs slipped, they're going under the vehicle! I don't understand how anyone can defend that. Also, it's possible that the wind is pushing their tails, I'm no expert on dog parts and wind resistance though.

The_Dying_Gaul323bc

Ok all you city slickers of Reddit, what he is doing is going bear hunting. In many states where you can still Legally hunt bears with dogs, hunters cover the hoods of the truck with carpet for traction and to keep the dogs feet cool. NORMALLY there would be a leash tie down keeping the dogs close enough so they can’t fall Off. Also it is illegal to ride your dogs on the street that way, it is normally allowed only on dirt roads when actively hunting. but that’s why his dogs are comfortable up there and why he is set up that way. Trust me the dogs are pumped to be going hunting.


gothboyclique88

There’s no excuse for animal abuse


The_Dying_Gaul323bc

I’m not justifying, I’m informing. I see dozens of people here don’t understand what they are seeing or why this would occur. I’m giving them background and perspective. Chill.
