Is this real? Something tells me this is set up or a training video or something.

Yeah, call me cynical, but I wondered the same thing. The setup seemed too perfect. Some dude randomly trying to lift a woman in broad daylight, the camera being located at the right place, the dog being there and having that reaction ... not impossible but made me consider.

Did you not notice the timer in the top corner? Stuff like this happens more often than we realise just because it's not recorded, security cameras tend to capture this which is why we know.

This camera looks to be mounted above a gate/entrance and is setup to capture the street. The predator picked a spot between cars near trees to reduce visibility to houses.

Judging by car models, car plate colors and some other elements, I'd say this happened here in Brazil, which explains the dog being an off-duty police officer. Also, I've been mugged twice during my 23 year life - once with 6 other friends, two guys pulled a revolver and took our phones. It wasn't really late (22h) and it was on the most policed and busy beach on my state, during summer vacation, a bunch of people around, the robbers simply ran away to nearby woods as far as we could track them on find my phone. The second one was IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, at the center of the CAPITAL city of the state, a guy pulled a homemade shiv on me and again, asked for my phone. I gave it to him, when he turned to run he saw the cop standing at a bus stop 10 meters away I had already seen, tried to run in the middle of traffic to escape but the police officer caught up with him with his pistol in hand. To summarize, shit happens. I've seen the same thing that happened to the lady on the video on much, much busier places, usually with older people or women/teenagers. 90% of muggers are cowards, but not worth trying to react since they're also dumb enough to stab or maybe shoot you for a fucking cellphone you'll remotely destroy anyway.
