Beer-Drinking Dog Pic Leads to Two Arrests
WIVB ^ | Monday, March 10, 2014 | Nancy Sanders

A SUNY Brockport student from West Seneca and a Genesee County man have been arrested for allegedly forcing a dog to be held upside down and drink beer.

Brockport Police report that Robert Yates, 20, took a photo of the dog being held over the beer keg and posted it to Twitter at a Saturday night house party. Officers also arrested Shane Oliver, 20, of Bergen. Both are facing charges of torturing/injuring animals.

The dog’s owner was apparently not involved.

The college issued a statement saying, “We were alarmed to learn of this disturbing photo. The College is investigating this matter and will take appropriate action once the details surrounding the photo are learned.”

At least I’m not humping the leg of somebody I *thought* was my own gender.

[wow...it certainly takes you a long time to catch a train of thought, doesn’t it?]

There’s nothing I could say that would reveal more than your reply.

Thanks.

I taught two of my horses to “bow” and one of them to fake being a ‘gaited’ horse.

It drove my dad crazy because he’d take the ‘gaited’ one out to show off to his buddies and the horse wouldn’t perform for him.

They also knew how to “nod yes and no” when asked questions.

oK iLL explain this slowly dear...

Ben was about a rat,
He was very smart.
He gathered all the other rats,
and there was trouble.

The kids are making smart animals now.
The english made it legal..about 10 yrs ago.
The U.S. “thats us”just made it legal about 2 weeks ago,,so

The peta people may have a real cause....15 yrs from now.
and animal drinking or at least owners responsibility for same may become an issue...

Now back on topic....I like your tryke...but you seem to “fixate”?on snakes....and they are in fact a phallic object.

Which might suggest.....ENVY....again with the E word I know....sorry............................a little.

That's pretty good. They can be like big dogs, intelligence-wise, and not without individual personality, including mental strengths, weakness, preferences, etc.

There was a famous horse years ago, who was said to be able to do mathematical calculations. As it turned out later, by best explanations for (or around?) the idea of the horse in actuality being able to add, subtract, and I think do simple multiplication and division, it was determined that the horse was just so keyed into visual clues, possibly including facial expression, along with body-language of humans which would tip him off to keep stomping with one of his hooves until he arrived at the right number.

It's said that some warhorses would get excited at the sound of gunfire...and want to go to it, and fight. For horses know when they can intimidate, some enjoy it.

I knew of a gelding who after having been put into the same pasture with a few mares (and getting his regularly kicked) that once he figured out that he (along with a rider) could pick on bovines, just loved it. Ok,ok, ok, hurry up with that saddle, let's GO. lol.

Many years ago, there was a very famous Krautisch horse who could do sums ...

His owner would ask him, "Hans, what is three plus four"? And Hans would clop his hoof, once, twice ... while carefully watching his owner ... six, seven, and stop! Hans having observed his owner's eyebrow moving ever so little.

Of course, if Hans couldn't see his owner's face, his accuracy tanked.

Clever Hans was known the world over, LOL!

I think that was “Clever Hans”, was it not?

Some cowboy has the new horse genius but I’ve forgotten his name.

I pretty much treated the horse like giant dogs and they responded in kind.

This was not always a good thing since my mom would flip out if they followed me not only up on the back porch but into the kitchen, as well.

[that one was just a Shetland..it’s not like she took up much space] :)

Rebel, the horse of my youth, was a wonderment.

He would do anything I asked of him and excelled as a trail horse.

Totally bullet proof.

Dad would take him out to go with his riding friends and Reb would act like a complete maniac.

Dad was wrapped too tight and it made Reb nervous.

He would ride him in full “riot gear” [harsh bits, etc] and I just looped a lead through his halter and went all over the mountains with no problem.

They know.

I miss my horses.

They all had good long lives but unfortunately, not as long as mine has been.

I used to “cut” my gramma’s herd of dairy cows.

Boy, did she ever get mad.

:D

...sorry for the delay in replying Sal, I got sidetracked for some hours, and should be asleep, as the two of you likely are.

Thanks for the interesting comments... and thank you cynwoody for pointing out what the name of the horse was, beating Sal by a bit on that. I couldn't recall.

My memory is otherwise perfectly good. It's just short. ;^)

Apparently, on this thread, dogs have no free will!

That said, my parents had a German Shepherd named Kessie...now, that dog liked ice cream, and who could blame it.

But one day, my dad and I had been talking in the kitchen, and went back on the porch where he had left his cup of coffee, and Kessie had her long, pointy, snout in the mug, lustilly lapping the brown liquid!

My dad stared in amazement. then looked at me with a big grin and said
“She’s a Kaffeehund!”

He wondered why he was going through coffee so fast!

Are you familiar with the phrase “slop the hogs”?

When making moonshine the tank used to ferment the corn before the liquid is distilled is called the slop tank.

After the corn has fermented and all the liquid squeezed out(corn squeezins) what was left was the slop they would feed to the hogs so nothing would go to waste.

The dog is doing an "upside-down keg stand" in solidarity with his fraternity brothers.

Dogs are pack animals.

Putting some beer in a dish and letting the dog choose to try it = kindness.

Forcing a dog to be held upside down and drink beer = abuse.

Any questions?

Yep. You’ve probably heard the old saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”

Well, you can lead a dog to beer or coffee, but you can’t make him drink, unless he wants to.

Thanks, oh great holy one, for the wisdom from on high.

Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning ?
