Adults need to stop buying pets for their kids. When you bring a pet into your home YOU, the adult, are the one who will be taking care of it. My Mom gave me a birds when I was a kid. Those birds died a few months later because I didn’t know what I was doing. And it was tragic and I never got over it. I felt so guilty about it for decades. Now, as an adult, I realize that my Mom should not have allowed a little kid, who wasn’t even responsible enough to feed myself or shower myself properly, to be in complete charge of other beings lives. It’s cruel and irresponsible. I feel terrible for any animal that’s bought as a pet for a child.

Former vet tech here. Since Great Danes are deep-chested, you want to feed them smaller meals more frequently rather than 1-2 large meals a day. Danes can be prone to GDV (Gastro dilatation volvulus), aka bloat. This is a life-threatening and medical emergency situation. Raised feeder bowls are helpful and for fast eaters, slow feeding bowls are also beneficial. Hope this helps. Love your channel!

It really pisses me off when adults put their kids in charge of animals to “teach them responsibility” then act like they have the moral high ground and blame the kids when they (surprise, surprise) don’t take care of said animals. Newsflash, if an animal is under *your* roof, *you’re* 100% responsible for it, not the kids! The adults in this family should be in prison for animal cruelty.

@hereafterforever2071

For an adult, having an animal is essentially the same as having a human child. A parent should never shift all the responsibility to an older child to take care of all the needs of the younger sibling. No, it's the adult parent's responsibility alone. That's exactly the same as a parent expecting a child to take care of all the needs of of an animal. Children cannot do it, but they can help.

It is so easy to hurt when an animal is not fed properly, but it is not always as easy to feed animals as it seems. Like Rocky said - its not just about dropping kibbles into the bowl. Scooby may have anxiety and/or ptsd from his initial visit, he might be an anxious eater (will take a treat, but not eat reliably), hormonal balances, or have ibs or just have noisy dogs in the neighbourhood. There are so many situations. For example, my family has a beautiful ragdoll who had been abused by the breeders (forced into breeding multiple times, no successful pregnancy), and my family memeber spends every single day 1.5 hour handfeeding the cat, I spend a fortune on the cat's food (high shelf, 70% pure meat wet food + most expensive and species appropriate kibble), but sometimes the cat refuses to eat for weeks. Not everybody can afford time, not everybody understands animals so well, not everybody is able to put the animal above their feeling of attachment. Please, try to not be angry

I taught my kids to feed and walk and bathe him of course, and would put dog duty on their chore list, but ultimately when I got the dog I knew that we as adults would be the ones responsible for him, to make sure the kids were properly caring for him or to do it ourselves. And I had that dog for 15 years till his dying day even when the kids grew up (died of old age; still miss him)!!!

I AM SHOCKED THAT YOU BELIEVE THIS DOG HAS BEEN LOVED BY THE FAMILIES WITH WHOM HE LIVED. THEY DIDN'T CARE TO FEED HIM... HOW IS THAT LOVE?

He’s a handsome Dane wow. I love big dogs. His color is unique, love the 5 o clock shadow, uneven ears, white paws and chest, and his honey coloring. Beautiful. Always sad when a dog is abused or ignored. I’d love on this guy and he’d open up. ❤🐕

He's definitely 100% dane!!! Just so thin!💔 just breaks my heart. The great dane breed is a mixture of greyhound, English mastiff and Irish wolf hound dog breeds. So maybe that's why you see greyhound? But he's for sure all dane. They're so sweet and such gentle dogs. I've owed danes for 20+ years. They're my life, I'll never own another breed. This breed is so attached to their people and just loyal as can be. So gentle with small children and elders...it's weird...like they just know. They're so intune with their people, very intuitive. Best food would be a raw diet or premium kibble mixed with organ meat and whole foods...Slow and steady and hell gain weight. Danes are so forgiving and loving. Bless his heart❤

Dane owner and foster here! There are two types of Danes, American and European. I think Scooby is an American Great Dane which leans more towards greyhound than mastiff, smaller mouth chops and they’re usually a little smaller/slimmer with less excess skin. He is so handsome and will look so good once he fills out 🩷

We are also a big dog family (Danes and Dogue de Bordeaux). We currently have litter mates that are now 10 months old. Our male looks like a Euro Dane... 140lbs, big blockhead, droopy eyes and jowls, loose skin... his sister looks like an AmeriDane 100 lbs, tight skin, almond eyes, sleek jowl. We lovingly tease and say her head looks like a bicycle seat. Scooby looks healthy overall, he just needs a little more food and a lot more love. They don't call them Gentle Giants for nothing!

Hoping he can get a nice cushy, padded dog bed so the floor is not so rough on his bones. It's hurting him to sit and he's sensitive. Just my opinion but pets are like my kids. As for financial hardship, I knew many poor families growing up and not one starved their dogs. It's mindset. Some people do not value pets like family. Would you starve your child? Did they spend money on cigarettes or fast food? Smart phones? Cable TV? They could have brought him in for adoption before it got this bad. 😢
