KEY QUOTATIONS FROM THE VIDEO CLIP:
1.11 - 1.34: " This dog has a mental illness, he wasn't beaten by a man, but that's not relevant. I have dogs that were beaten and they lick your face. So this is the human mind trying to write behaviour off. It's the only creature on earth we try to humanise and try to apply human logic to their brain. " 1.41 - 2.04: " This dog is capable of doing the same behaviour, whether he's on a coach ... in a crate ... I have no fear of this dog. None. And sixty seconds ago he was afraid of me and I was afraid of him, I've taken some energy away, relaxed, I wanna love him - he's avoiding me cause we do have a conflict. " 2.50 - 3.10: " I chose a yellow lab because if this was a pit bull - he wouldn't even be here! He wouldn't even have the opportunity for us to analyse with him and work with him; he'd be dead because of the stereotype of pit bulls. So this is the yellow lab that's supposed to have a bandana on his head and a Frisbee in his mouth running on the beach, yeah, that's great until he's cornered. And when he's cornered, he becomes highly aggressive. "
3.11 - 3.23: " There's no instability here, he's not turning around, and it’s like night and day. It's a switch. Like paranoia, when your fear goes away you become normal again. "
3.36 - 3.55: " Look, his tail's wagging - he likes people! This is the whole problem ... he's not a threat to anyone now ... this is the normal lab, his neurons were misfiring”
4.39 - 5.20: " This is the shame ... this is like seeing a child ... that is just happy and playful ... this is a dog with a psychological disability, and the shame of it is tomorrow it will be the same thing ... he's not even afraid of me ... this is not even leash aggression! "
5.22 - 6.00: " These are all abnormalities that us human beings wouldn't just write off with human emotion, and really let’s do some studying on this. Truth is we don't study human behaviour enough as we can. "
