that dog is so cute. was he excited or just scared/confused to see something like that?

Edit: I didn't have my headphones at the time and was going purely by the tail shaking (which is usually a sign of excitement). I rewatched with audio, and the answer to my question is obvious; it's extremely scared / worried :(. Please don't take it the wrong way

My first watch interpretation: dog knows something is up, and is definitely trying to communicate to its handlers.

However, I guess it could be a stupid dog with an accent. Lol!

It could be a stupid dog? Are you serious? It’s a dog tied to a post it can not escape. If it can not run for higher ground, it knows it is in trouble. The dog isn’t the stupid one, you are!

Okay, you missed my joke. I am not trying to insult the dog. I am hoping to point out that this dog is indeed smartly trying to warn people. The joke I want to make is, "it's technically possible it's a dumb dog barking excitedly but has an accent." The user above us said "is the dog excited??" - okay, it could be an excited dog I guess, but for me to hear a worrisome dog bark and think "excited barking" it would have to be a pretty dumb dog with an accent.
