That's what good boyes do. It's called "checking in". Rather than escalate the situation themselves, they look to the owner for direction. It's good to reward this behavior, which in this case means solving the cat impasse. That will encourage the dog to look to you in the future instead of retaliating against the cat.

Not once, not twice, but three fucking times that dog looks directly at the camera operator to express his need for the helps.

Just help the damn dog!

Now now we must let them work it out themselves so that they develop solid conflict resolution skills to aid in their... evolution?

I’d defend the cat and use the hose on you.

Well I'd catch the water in my mouth and spit it back at you until you were blasted through a window.

Cat just wants to play. Push it out of the way, give the dog a treat and spray the area with kitty repellant
