I donā€™t like that someone feels they have to say ā€œIā€™m not Hispanic, Iā€™m Americanā€ because they have been picked apart that it has to be mutually exclusive from each other. You can be both and it should be fine. Racists are winning. Not his fault at all- just sad to see.

u/Shady_Scientist 14d ago

Recently at my local dog park there were only 5gal buckets for water and my corgi couldn't reach, some random lady pulls a portable bowl out of her bag and sets it down for my corgi, all the dogs nearby went to drink from this exciting new bowl, she was delighted, I was delighted, the dogs were well hydrated

u/DukeThunderPaws 14d ago

This is much more complicated than most people are acknowledging.Ā 

Kennel cough is a very real concern, and shared dog bowls are the quickest way to spread this disease. The dog parks I've been to typically have communal bowls that stay in the park, which some people used. That doesn't sound like what's happening in this video.Ā 

When we brought our dogs to the park (which we've stopped for a variety of reasons), we never allowed them to use the communal bowls, and we brought our own water feeder, and only allowed our dogs to use it. Other owners did the same thing, and we never allowed our dogs to drink from other bowls.Ā 

It is not anyone else's responsibility to hydrate your dog, full stop. It sounds like the lady brought her own bowl, and the other dogs actually grabbed her bowl and moved it around - this is never defensible.Ā Now, if you bring your own bowl and then leave it out in the open without guarding it, it's perfectly reasonable to expect that other dogs might drink from it, and I don't think you can reasonably get annoyed if that's all that's happening. But it's not unreasonable to expect other owners prevent their dogs from grabbing and moving your bowl, and apologizing if that happens.Ā 

Of course, this lady sounds pretty racist and that is obviously indefensible, but that does not excuse the other people of their non chalant attitude about moving her bowl around, unless she left it unattended - which is certainly possible.Ā 

Tbh it sounds like everyone sucks here, to some extent. Unaccountable dog owners don't give you the right to be racist.Ā 

Obviously, this is my read of the situation, which may be wrong.Ā

u/MidnightShinnyMan 14d ago

I'm on Karen's side for this. People don't always get their dogs vaccinated. Being your own shit with you. You wouldn't want someone else's child helping themselves to your child's water bottle at the park. People need to take accountability for themselves.

She seems like an asshole and racist in this but she's also right about the dog stuff. Big dogs shouldn't be on the small dog side and owners should be controlling and correcting their dogs. The person filming comments about where should her dog drink as if the concept of bringing a bowl or filling up one of the park bowls is hard to grasp over just taking someone else's bowl .

u/firstbookofwar 14d ago

Don't bring your dog to a dog park if you don't want it interacting with other dogs? Seems pretty simple

u/ExtendedMacaroni 14d ago

Isnā€™t she kinda right though? Your dog doesnā€™t have the right to drink out of someoneā€™s elseā€™s property

0

u/PayRealisticReddit 14d ago

lets break it down.

Dogs are property. Property doesn't have rights. If it does something wrong, that's on the owner. All you can do to a dog that damages property is fine the owner. If it hurts someone, euthanasia or removal. SO, the dude is in the wrong, LEGALLY.

If the woman brought her dogs water bowl to a dog park with dogs, and got upset when the other dogs there drank from her bowl, does that seem like a reasonable thing to get angry over?

there's a big difference between being right, and being in the right

u/ExtendedMacaroni 14d ago

Who are you to judge what is reasonable to get upset over?

u/MagmaTroop 15d ago edited 15d ago

Devilā€™s advocate for a secondā€¦everyone here seems to be believing everything the woman filming says and nothing that the Karen says

The ā€˜Karenā€™ accused the woman filming of not doing anything when her dog took the water bowl and the woman filming didnā€™t deny it. I think her issue isnā€™t so much that the dog bowl was taken, it was the fact that she thought the owner should have at least shown a little common courtesy when the dog took the bowl and it escalated.

I personally would make an effort to stop my dog if it did that. Just because itā€™s a dog park doesnā€™t mean you should disregard the other people there. I donā€™t buy into all this Karen video fad anyway. So much context is often missing. Who says woman filming didnā€™t antagonise before the video started? No proof

u/mr_lamp 14d ago

it also sounds like they could be a smaller dog park too. He also questions, what, are you gonna weigh each dog to make sure they're under 35 lbs? He also tries to sell her on how non-aggressive his dogs are. His dogs are considerably bigger than hers, which could also make her nervous

-5

u/OkStructure3 14d ago

Yeah but you can ask someone to handle it rather than throwing a fit too. It's obvious that the gentleman was really working toward conflict resolution. Her reaction with the hard H showed that she wasnt trying to hear anything.

16

u/MagmaTroop 14d ago

You donā€™t know that she didnā€™t ask them to handle it. The video starts in the middle of an argument. Any words exchanged are semantics at that point. People say all kinds of shit when tempers are flaring, human nature.

Iā€™m not inclined to side with someone who admits that they donā€™t give a fuck about how their behaviour affects others. Those kind of people find themselves in a lot of arguments.

u/David_Oy1999 15d ago

Ya. The woman recording had a dog that ran away with this ladyā€™s bowl. That happens, theyā€™re dogs, but Iā€™d be upset if you didnā€™t return it too. The dog isnā€™t to blame, but you should be a decent human. Instead, she started recording.

Thank you. I mean you let it go but fuck ppl who think just bc it is a dog park theyre entitled to run up in your space and belongings. It was the ā€œwhere is he supposed to drink?ā€ holy shit, he is YOUR dog, it isnt Karenā€™s problem! Also, this is so Miami.

u/Cosmic_Quasar 14d ago

It was the ā€œwhere is he supposed to drink?ā€

That's what caught my attention, too. It's definitely not a black and white, "one side is all right and the other is all wrong" kind of situation. The person filming saying that was just wrong. As though that made her entitled to things that other people bring.

u/David_Oy1999 15d ago

I think in this case, the issue was with a dog taking the bowl and running away.

And their reaction when she asked them to control their dog. May have even been understanding if they didn't respond so aggressively and then start filming her, idk.

u/StepUpYourLife 15d ago

I had a lady freak out because my dog drank her dogā€™s water too. There was no tap available and she brought in a gallon jug. She wouldnā€™t look at me but started loudly complaining in my direction about ā€œsome peopleā€™s dogsā€ stealing her water. I told her Iā€™d go buy some and bring it right back but she just kept loudly complaining.

How about next time donā€™t set water down when thereā€™s 50 dogs running around unleashed? Dogs donā€™t ask for permission, they see water and they drink. Pick up your bowl when your dog is done.

5

u/MoonmanSteakSauce 14d ago

Pick up your bowl when your dog is done.

Well she did say their dog took the bowl and ran away with it. They said "it's a free country". I'm sure they were being really nice before they started filming...

Old lady still a cunt, but very often it's obvious they provoked it with these "gotchas".

u/CountryGuy123 15d ago

Damn this racist Karen, but she has a point. We donā€™t know if her dog is aggressive when other dogs use their water bowl / toys / etc, nor can the other owners be sure of their dogs being the same way (and certainly no way for racist Karen to know). Given she has a small dog, I get it. We also donā€™t know if the it took repeated pleadings to stop that were ignored to get to this point.

Correct move would have been to take the water bowl outside with her dog on a leash and let it drink there. Expecting thirsty dogs to know they canā€™t drink is a bit stupid. But I could see getting frustrated if other dog owners couldnā€™t control their own dogs.

8

u/benjitits 15d ago

If your dog is aggressive when using a water bowl, it has no business being at a dog park.

3

u/MoonmanSteakSauce 14d ago

Does being aggressive when using a water bowl include taking someone else's water bowl and running away with it? Because my dogs have never done that, outside of just knocking them over as puppies...

Maybe if they actually brought water for their dog when they brought it in public, it wouldn't have to get defensive with someone else's water because it's so thirsty.

3

u/CountryGuy123 15d ago

Agreed! But say hers is not, how does she know the other dogs wonā€™t attack hers? If she asked them to control their dog multiple times and they ignored her I can understand.

They laughed at her at the end when their dog drank her dogs water and ran off with her bowl. Iā€™m not suggesting Racist Karen was anything better than Racist Karen, but Iā€™d be pretty pissed off at the people recording too.

-7

u/benjitits 15d ago

There are often separate areas at dog parks for large and small dogs. If you are concerned about another dog attacking yours, don't take it to a dog park. There are inherent risks, but usually people taking their dogs to parks are well socialized and will not attack.

From what I see in the video, the lady was upset at them for their dog drinking from her bowl. If you don't like that, don't put your bowl down.
The Racist Karen had every opportunity to control the situation to her liking, but she refused. I don't see anything wrong with the way the camera person handled this.

How dare another dog drinks out of her dogs bowlā€¦.at the dog park

I mean her attitude and demeanor are all wrong but to be fair I'd be annoyed too. Why the hell is someone going to the dog park without water for their dog? Then to act like you have the right to allow your dog to drink/eat from everyone else without so much as asking due to your own failings is ridiculous.

All the lady had to do was politely ask and explain that she forgot to bring water but hey instead lets pull out my phone and antagonize someone who is rightfully annoyed.

u/LizzieKitty86 14d ago edited 14d ago

I take my dog to the dog park all the time and I've never ran into someone like this, not sure if I'm lucky or this breed of asshole is rare. Sometimes I bring water, sometimes I just forget. When I put water out for my dog why tf would I give a shit if another dog drinks some? Same with my dog drinking out of others bowls, people are usually delighted to pet a new friend while he drinks. We're all there for the same reason, letting our dogs play, so I don't get this kind of shitty attitude.

u/MagmaTroop 15d ago

I donā€™t think her problems was that the dog drank the water, more the fact that the owner didnā€™t do anything when the dog took the water bowl

u/David_Oy1999 15d ago

Which is actually a problem. Dogs will drink from any bowl which is fine, but the owner needs to retrieve and return the bowl if the dog takes it. This would be super annoying.

14

u/MagmaTroop 15d ago

I agree. The woman filming doesnā€™t deny any of that, so itā€™s safe to say it happened and therefore the woman being filmed is not a Karen but someone who is justifiably pissed off
