The master beat the dogThere were several main reasons why dogs usually did not resist when they were beaten by their owners:
1. [Loyal Nature: Since being domesticated by humans, dogs regard their masters as their leaders and reliance.] Their owners gave them food, shelter, and care, so in the dog's perception, their owners 'status was unshakable. When their master was angry and scolded them, they would feel that it was their fault and would not resist.
2. [Genetic hierarchy: Dogs are domesticated from wolves. Wolves have a clear hierarchy, and the alpha wolf has the highest privilege.] Dogs also inherited this sense of hierarchy in their genes. Their owners were seen as the leader of the group, and the dogs would obey the authority of the leader. Therefore, when their owners beat the dogs, the dogs would think that it was a punishment and respect the hierarchy. They would not resist and wait for their owners to calm down.
3. ** Fear of being abandoned **: Dogs are very dependent on their owners. They are afraid that if they resist, their owners will no longer like them or even kick them out of the house. Just like how a lone wolf chased out of a pack by a alpha wolf had a greatly reduced chance of survival in the wild, dogs would not easily change owners. Therefore, in order to avoid being abandoned, they would rather be beaten than resist.
4. ** Trust the owner **: Dogs can remember the good things their owners do for them, such as playing together, walking, and being stroked. Even when it was beaten, these memories would make the dog maintain a special feeling for its owner. It believed that its owner did not really want to hurt it and would still care for it in the end, so it silently endured the beating and scolding and waited for its owner to calm down.
However, the owner hitting the dog was not the right way to educate it. Not only could this hurt the dog's body, but it would also destroy the trust between the dog and the dog. Dogs that were beaten for a long time might become timid, afraid, and even have psychological problems such as aggressive behavior.
In real life, there were also different situations where owners beat dogs. For example, a dog owner in Guangxi was suddenly attacked and bitten by his own dog. He killed the dog in a fit of anger, which caused controversy. Some people thought that biting dogs should be killed with zero tolerance, while others thought it was too cruel because dogs were also life and many times human friends. When encountering a dog attack, one should first understand the situation, such as physical pain, stress and fear, food and territory awareness, cognitive disorder, aging, excessive excitement, etc. If the dog suddenly bit the owner, it was recommended to take it to a veterinarian to determine whether there was a health problem. At the same time, the owner should also reflect on the way he interacted with the dog.
