In a bizarre sequence of events, Naryia Hudson got the scare of her life after approaching a stranger’s parked vehicle at a Wal-Mart in Washington. She may have been looking to help the dog left in the car, but it did not have a mutual feeling about its would-be savior.

Footage taken of the incident showed the dog lunging through a cracked window at the woman. The dog could be heard barking as she approached. Naryia wanted to try and calm the dog by calling softly to it.

Unfortunately, she was face to face with a mouth full of teeth. Luckily she was not injured, but the experience shook her.

She took to twitter and shared her video with an additional quip to the effect the love of dogs would get her killed one day. The clip went viral and has been watched over a million times since it was uploaded on Tuesday.

The incident sparked debate on animal treatment and why the dog was left in the car and so forth. The other side of the discussion centered on why Naryia felt the need to approach the animal.

She claims the car was parked outside of the Wal-Mart for at least thirty minutes with the windows rolled down. She believes that dogs are not inherently vicious, but it is a learned behavior stemming from abuse or abandonment. That means the owner could have been treating the dog badly, and that is why it reacted like that to a stranger.

Animal abuse is not anything new, but the debate online revealed other stories supporting the thesis of violence, causing unpredictable behavior.

Recently revealed camera footage showed a dog sitter throwing a puppy around the living room while their owner was out. A secret camera recorded it.

The woman who has not been named was hired to watch the Labrador puppy in a California residence. The owners returned to watch the footage and were horrified to see the woman slamming the dog on the floor after getting a motion alert on their phones from the security camera.

In the footage of the event, the puppy can be seen lying stunned before struggling to get up and stumbling around while the sitter just watched.

A traumatic experience such as these shape the psychology of the dog and could be the reason for extreme fear or hostility, especially with strangers and even the owners.
