I thought it was a chore flex. Ya know? That sense of pride you get when you fold your laundry or wash your car. I get a weird excitement from buying groceries too.
I didn't know about them until recently seeing them on youtube so I wonder if this is some sort of viral marketing thing. The wealthy are looking to spend while everyone else is downgrading to walmart.
Erewhon is a special grocery store that only has a handful of locations in the US, but is also known for being extremely extremely overpriced and does things like sells $20 smoothies, a single strawberry for $20, etc. it gets dunked on for being known as a trendy overpriced grocery store. Basically it's like what people thought about whole foods 20 years ago, but even more ridiculous and expensive.
The fact that this person pretty purposefully has 5 bags in frame is made as much to be engagement bait as saying here's a rescue dog eating food out of my hand for the first time.
Which you know also in itself sounds better than I just got a new dog from a shelter, watch it play around.
Bruh it's 5 very intentionally placed bags from a grocery store that sells a single strawberry for $20, or a bag of frozen sweet potato slices for $25
Seeing as those things are also double bagged it either means they kept them on purpose from multiple shopping trips to look rich or that they actually went out and spent multiple hundreds of dollars on groceries when they could have gone to the pavilions down the street and got the same thing for probably 1/3 of the cost.
It's the fact that it's just as much of intentional engagement bait as saying they are feeding a rescue dog, and me knowing about the groceries makes me think them saying it's a rescue is also probably a lie.
Respectfully, who fucking cares? Like, why does someone else overspending on groceries matter to you? No one else is getting hurt if she chooses to buy bougie groceries. Let people spend their own money however they damn well please.
You’re right. People that can afford food and have specific tastes are automatically just not to be trusted. What’s next? Adopting a foster child and dressing them in a Gucci onesie?
It's not that they buy groceries from an upscale store. It's the fact that they do that and then are pretty obviously placing them on the floor to be in shot, it's the fact they did it for the engagement that I don't like.
There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever the they were purposely trying to show off their bags on the floor? That's is such a strange conclusion to a video clearly about a dog.
I understand the point. My point is that I don’t know that they did it for engagement purposes. Looking at my kitchen floor right now, it is also littered with door dash bags, because I’m trying to separate the recycling items and burnables and such. There’s also a few Amazon boxes in there, just like the one in the video. Granted I’m not taking a video of them and posting it, however it could have been done innocently enough.
I'm pretty sure double bagging is a common thing grocers do.
We don't know what they bought. They could have gone there for a specific item..it doesn't make it too expensive, maybe overpriced. But I mean if you liked that item. Hey, go do you.
How my last rescue was, a Lab. Light case of food aggression, and you couldn't even raise your arm to throw a toy for her because shes just cower like she was going to get beaten. She was a good 10 lbs under weight so we just kept her food bowl full, and once she got close to a healthy weight, we put a little something on her food when we wanted to set her feeding times to work her into that. The only down side being that for the rest of her life, you basically had to put a little parm cheese / pizza sauce or something on her food else shed look at it, and give you the most disapproving look. As for the toys, just had to start slow tossing them with a flick of the wrist and over a month or so worked up to actual throwing.
It was a process with her, but damn that was a good family dog. She was down for whatever, hiking in the woods, watching some TV getting belly rubs, laying in front of the fire in winter, cleaning up whatever was dropped in the kitchen when she heard someone say "shit"... always gave us her 100% till her last days.
Yeah, my last BT was the same. Shed go to grandmas house for a week or 2 and get basically roast dinners for dinner because my Grandma would literally make a spare small meal for her when she cooked. Shed come back to me, who would try to put her back on normal food, she wouldnt even look at it.
Ive seen that with a buddy's chihuahua. His lady cooked that dogs meals, and they wondered why he would only eat that stuff and not the dry food below it.
Definitely would have worked a bit sooner had she had she opened her hand, palm side up but held low to the floor, arm extended out away from her and left the food in the palm of her hand.
It would have worked even better than that if she had settled onto the floor, laying flat from head to toe. Then, she should extend her arm out away from her, palm of her hand facing upward and the food in her hand.
It's a long process but from that starting point, you're putting yourself in the least threatening position for the dog. You're below it and not over top of it, where you could reach out and make them feel scared.
Sure, it would have worked better, but the end result was the same. It's trust building. You are talking solely about speaking the dogs language, but they also need to learn your language. Both are valuable.
Well that's what I thought was kinda weird about this. Why wouldn't she make encouraging gestures and sounds? Like She did at the end after it took the chicken.
Wouldn't you want to teach the dog the things you do when giving it a treat? This feels more like a test than training?
Making too much noise may scare them. Often, you make the reward spund directly after the desired behavior or during then during the desired behavior. You make them associate the behavior with the sound rather than a treat every time.
Or eaten it themselves in front of them. They won’t fuck around next time. Thank goodness. Dog treats taste like dirt, bark or both. Source: Me. Had a few pets in our time.
'gonna eat the chicken cos i'm no chicken. never mind i am not hungry. Actually you know what I want the chicken but I don't need the chicken I'm better than that--no you know I do want that chicken.'
Lol what? You don't know anything other than some chick is trying to feed a dog a piece of food. She could have owned this thing since a puppy for all anyone knows. That's a pretty high tail and perky ears for an abused, terrified dog.
The tail is tucked and the ears are held back at several moments, especially when it runs off.
The displayed behaviour isn't consistent with playing or even shy eating habits. It's more in line with an animal that's nervous/not trusting but not terrified. This animal likely has been abused based on the behaviour, but dogs are smart animals and most are able to tell the difference in demeanor from person to person and so this one is likely "testing the waters" so to speak to see if this person is safe to be around.
Source: I've worked with and owned several dogs that survived various types and severity of abuse.
Poor guy, I’ve never had a rescue take more than a few days and he’s still this terrified after 2 months. Glad he’s got a good home and a mommy that loves him
Can someone smarter than me go into some detail about dog affect. To me he doesn't really look scared. His tail and ears are up. Almost looks more like a game. Just curious. Thanks in advance.
I’ve always trained my dogs to know that anything in their bowl is free game, and I’ll never take it from them. But anything on the counter, table or hand is off-limits.
That way you never get food theft, like those videos of dogs stealing kid’s snacks. They also don’t feel the need scarf everything down instantly for fear of losing it, which helps maintain healthy weight.
I’d encourage people to be more careful with unintentional training like this. Set simple rules and stick to them. It’s generally the owner’s fault when bad behavior shows up later. Dogs are very clever but can’t always understand our complex conditional etiquette rules.
My puppy was terrified of the stairs to the basement. After weeks of useless training with treats. I finally picked her up, walked down a few stairs and sat down with her in my arms. I just sat. She was scared and shaking at first but we just sat until she calmed down. Then, I let her slowly crawl out of my arms and walk on the stairs encouraging and praising her. She's used them just fine ever since and I saved time.
Taking in rescue animals is a noble mission and I applaud those who do it, however, traumatized animals are like traumatized humans. Some do well in a better environment and some crash out. You gotta be real careful who you invite to come live with you
I don’t watch those videos for that exact reason, this however is not one of them. I’m not blindly trusting anything, I’m using the info provided and using my own critical thinking and this post is not one of them. Sounds like you may need to take a break from social media if you immediately assume they’re all the same 🤷♀️
Money can buy a person who daily makes that dogs life happy. In the video I'm assuming the owner seems like a good person. Between a good owner and money to buy whatever the dog needs I'd think the good pup will be well taken care of.
I was really invested in this video having a happy ending
It was about a 70 seconds longer than it needed to be.
Bean soup
Convinced this person just wanted to show their Erewon shopping bags off
I'm too poor to even recognize the flex...
What the fuck is an Erewon?
Kinda sounds like a name in Lord Of The Rings.
I imagine it's how my toddler pronounces "everyone"
or the chinese fake elon musk doppelgänger
The most expensive grocery store in the world probably. Those 4 bags are prob like $1000 🙄
It’s literally the same price as Whole Foods for 99% of their shit
I literally saw a small like 2 oz bottle of vanilla extract being sold there for $65 (because of this post I'm now getting erewon videos in my feed)
100% fake or lying.
I just checked their website, Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Instacart.
The most expensive vanilla extract they have is $40 for 8oz and it’s from Madagascar. The cheapest was $6.
Well James May and Emily Brown are deceivers then.
I thought it was a chore flex. Ya know? That sense of pride you get when you fold your laundry or wash your car. I get a weird excitement from buying groceries too.
It's an expensive grocery store.
I didn't know about them until recently seeing them on youtube so I wonder if this is some sort of viral marketing thing. The wealthy are looking to spend while everyone else is downgrading to walmart.
Why do yall exaggerate everything
Yeah seriously, that's all I saw was the room filled with a bunch of empty doordashed erewhon bags.
It's like are you trying to flex that you spend a lot of money on groceries unnecessarily?
cute video of rescue doggo having a better life after this kind person takes them in and wants to share an important moment

I know what Erewhon is and I hope doggo is eating from there as well.
If you were gonna type shit up, why didn’t you also type that 99% of it is the same price as Whole Foods?
Rage bait
Yall are some seriously sad individuals holy shit.
Groceries? That's a new made up word that libs are using to try and hurt me. --- Donald J Trump
And it's just a bag. They couldn't have bought 1 item or very few items, cheap items, and still got the bag.
Bruh it's 5 very intentionally placed bags from a grocery store that sells a single strawberry for $20, or a bag of frozen sweet potato slices for $25

Walmart has expensive shit too, why don’t you go yell at people who have Walmart bags?
Like look at DoorDash for erewon, 99% of it is the same price as Whole Foods lol.
Y’all just hating because you’re sad and dead inside
Respectfully, who fucking cares? Like, why does someone else overspending on groceries matter to you? No one else is getting hurt if she chooses to buy bougie groceries. Let people spend their own money however they damn well please.
It's called malicious envy.
You’re right. People that can afford food and have specific tastes are automatically just not to be trusted. What’s next? Adopting a foster child and dressing them in a Gucci onesie?
I don't think you're seeing the point I'm making.

Not everyone is struggling financially. Why take it so personal? It's not a flex if that's their life.
I saw them too!
Came here to say that. Literally thousands of dollars worth of groceries.
Did you look at the prices of their stuff before posting something so dumb?
No, they're know to be an absurdly extensive grocery store. Have you heard of hyperbole?
Compared to the dollar store, sure. They’re arguably barely more expensive than Whole Foods
I’ve literally checked DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart and their website to disprove this theory AND I’ve shopped there like twice when I visited LA.
Six bags from Erewhon would pay my monthly mortgage payment. lol
Never seen people so dead inside like yall lmao
Poor little booger has something unpleasant in his past.
Man that's what I was thinking, he has been around a horrible person. He seems to have got a great one now

Looks like the dog was ready for this step in the process
Haha yes considering it took all of two minutes to get the food.
What's up what th the comment above? everyone's gotta be a know it all.

Alright then, well we'll watch Diazepampoovey0229's little feeding video when that goes out.
everyone’s a critique
This comment would've worked better if you'd used the word critic instead of critique.
Stop being so critiqueal
They meant that people are a critique on God's failed experiment
it would have indeed. that’s what i meant to say but at this point i feel like i have to just let the error ride.
You used too many contractions in your sentence.
Two is too many for you? Boy I'd hate to be you reading some old writings from the American South...
It was a joke. I was criticizing the critic. Ha ha. I guess the joke did not land.
Or eaten it themselves in front of them. They won’t fuck around next time. Thank goodness. Dog treats taste like dirt, bark or both. Source: Me. Had a few pets in our time.
Kinda heartbreaking to watch. Poor guy is so scared. I'm glad he finally worked up the courage :)
yeah, my favorite part was when he finally worked up the courage
Me too :)
'gonna eat the chicken cos i'm no chicken. never mind i am not hungry. Actually you know what I want the chicken but I don't need the chicken I'm better than that--no you know I do want that chicken.'
Just be patient with him. In two more months this good boy will be lying on his back enjoying your belly rubs.
Sad but also adorable… “this time I’ll do it… no wait abort abort”. Nice work
Poor dog was abused

Can’t even get a dog to love you eh?
Poor thing must be traumatized from previous owner.
She has like $5000 worth of groceries
Gotta recheck that escape route.
Maybe it isn’t cowardice, it’s that he doesn’t like being used for instagram clout
What has the world done to him =.=" Thankfully he's in good hands now
Poor guy, I’ve never had a rescue take more than a few days and he’s still this terrified after 2 months. Glad he’s got a good home and a mommy that loves him
_so_ cute ! .
All my dogs are rescues from high kill shelters .
Sometimes it takes a month before they'll eat out of my hand or let me pet them but then they're mine for life .

I also taught my dogs the same thing. If I held out a treat they would sit, but they waited until I dropped it in their bowl.
Ya gotta say comforting things and coax the dog. Being a silent creeper isn’t building confidence
For real, acting like a trapdoor spider doesn't build confidence! this is kind of mean, IMO.

You can do it!
That’s a lot of Erewhon bags
"No. I can't....".
"But what if????".
"No. I can't...."
Someone better speed this clip up and add vine booms.
Rescued dogs are so quirky. I think they have trust issues.
Worth the wait. GG Ollie
This dog is way too cute!
That small peice of chicken was 100$
Such a cutie! You’re so good and patient with doggo, bless your heart 🫶🏼

This is a nice video to dub over;
*sniff sniff*
"gaWDDAMM that's a piece of chicken"
"MAN i want to eat that"
You're freaking out doggo with staring. Hold the food lower and look away a bit.
Awesome! 🫶❤️💛
Get em a shake next time.
So weird, the guinee pig i got that was in a pet store for a year does the same thing.
i'm not crying you're crying!
Drama queen
Sweet, scared pup :). She’ll come around and OP is very patient as my arm was feeling the burn as I was watching ;)
All the experts agree, feeding from your hand is the right way.
Such a brave doggo 🥹
Taking in rescue animals is a noble mission and I applaud those who do it, however, traumatized animals are like traumatized humans. Some do well in a better environment and some crash out. You gotta be real careful who you invite to come live with you
Put your phone down. Dogs get skittish about the phone. Connect with your pup without needing to film it. You’ll progress faster, I promise.
No offense intended. Source: 2 rescue dogs that both got freaked out about devices
Good boy
Aww poor thing
Just drop the damn chicken the first time tf?
i want my 2 minutes back
I don't, I could have watched 2 minutes more.
Clearly you dont belong on reddit then 🚮
Gotta love Ollie
For some reason I really love this 🤔
Animal abusers are just people that never grew up out of the bullying phase
Who the fuck down voted this?
I mean… How do you even leash a dog like that to take it out to pee?
All of those shopping bags and the dog’s eye position makes me pretty suspect of this video and its intentions.
I suspect a lure/intimidation behind the camera and it still wanted the food.
Bro go touch grass wth is that paranoia take 😭
Have you been on toktik and youtube? 90% of animal video sob stories are fake. Pro tip: ignore the narrative and go just by what you see.
I don’t watch those videos for that exact reason, this however is not one of them. I’m not blindly trusting anything, I’m using the info provided and using my own critical thinking and this post is not one of them. Sounds like you may need to take a break from social media if you immediately assume they’re all the same 🤷♀️
lol “tHe nArRaTiVe”
why do the shopping bags contribute to that suspicion
Dog lives in a rich household.. they will be fine.
I dont think anyone was concerned about that
Original OP has enough money to buy the dog anything, unless they're just a bad human, that dog will live a super happy life.
Once the owner is able to afford emergency vet, there's really no difference money makes. Dogs need time and work, not items.
Money can buy a person who daily makes that dogs life happy. In the video I'm assuming the owner seems like a good person. Between a good owner and money to buy whatever the dog needs I'd think the good pup will be well taken care of.
Please don't have pets, thanks.
Oh. Now we're angry at the rich for saving abused animals?
Rich = good morals has almost never been true.
The humon could have just put the chicken on the floor. But no, we had to get likes
And as we know, likes are basically Hitler
Is it to much effort to talk to your dog to comfort him and to ease his anxiety? Or is the video more important?
I hope it wasn't a human that made it so untrusting
Yeah I'm sure it was a moose that made it scared of humans....
