Perhaps we believe that children and animals usually get along well, being playmates and companions in games and adventures. The truth is that sometimes children do not know how to behave with pets and must learn to be respectful. However, if parents or people close to the child do not teach them, sometimes this responsibility falls into the hands or paws of others. This was at least the case in this Reddit video in which a boy tried to hit a dog, but the dog ended up teaching him a valuable lesson. Sometimes, nature works in unexpected ways.
User met_art shared a video on Reddit at r/KidsAreFuckingStupid as a not-so-little boy was throwing punches trying to hit a dog almost his size. But karma had its way, making the boy stumble, leaving him at the mercy of his furry rival. The dog skillfully stopped the boy with his paw and then, in one swift move, stole the boy’s hat before running out of the arena and away from the annoying kid. While nobody was willing to show the boy how to respect others, this canine succeeded without the need to stand up fiercely.
More than one user agreed that the kid had it coming and that it was better not to start fights he couldn’t win.
This was the best response the dog could take because it could bite, or as other Redditors mentioned, the dog could hump the kid.
There are times when we learn an important life lesson the hard way, but the consequences of this case in particular are not so dire. The fight was nothing more than the cute little dog stealing a hat and the child getting humbled. Hopefully, the boy has learned his lesson and will stop messing up with nature again. This time, he faced a small dog, but there are fiercer creatures out there that could lead to a not-so-lighthearted ending.
