00:00If only the video was better.
00:03This girl was about to hug the dog she saw on the street.
00:06Suddenly...
00:09What?
00:10Did I see it right?
00:12Slow-mo, please.
00:16Nyai!
00:18I didn't expect that.
00:21That's what's gonna happen.
00:25I felt the bite on my face.
00:28The question is, how is she now?
00:36I'm Sandra.
00:38I'm 21 years old.
00:39I used to live in Batangas but now I live in Manila.
00:45Sandra is a member of an online community and they make content about their daily lives.
00:51It smells bad.
00:53On September 7, Sandra will celebrate her second year as a content creator in a hotel.
01:00And here, she talked to the hotel's guard with a guard dog.
01:06Sir, can I pet him?
01:08Yes, ma'am. He's a nice guy.
01:10Since I'm a content creator, I decided to make a video.
01:15I asked him if I could pet the dog.
01:19He said, yes, ma'am. He's a nice guy.
01:23He doesn't bite.
01:25While I was setting up the camera, I didn't realize that the dog was coming towards me.
01:38Sandra loves dogs.
01:40In fact, she has aspens in her house in Batangas.
01:43And it's not new for her to pet the guard dogs in malls, airports, and other places.
01:50Before, I also did live selling.
01:53I worked.
01:54And they have dogs like German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Dobermann, French Bulldog.
02:01I'm used to holding dogs.
02:04That's why she was so surprised that she wanted to pet him in the video.
02:08Suddenly, he...
02:09Hi!
02:14Dog! Dog! Dog!
02:17Sorry!
02:18What did you say, ma'am?
02:20But...
02:21Nothing.
02:22I said, sorry.
02:23Yes.
02:24I'm sorry.
02:25He got mad when you held him.
02:27At that time, I didn't know what to do.
02:29Because I was there to enjoy.
02:31Will I laugh? Will I worry? Will I be scared?
02:35Because I was bitten by a dog.
02:38Dog! Dog! Dog!
02:42They immediately brought the hotel's guard and nurse, Sandra, to the nearest hospital.
02:49Two weeks passed.
02:51How is Sandra's face now?
02:55What happened to my face?
02:57She doesn't have a wound.
02:58Actually, it's just a deep bruise.
03:00How important is Sandra's anti-rabies and anti-tetanus treatment?
03:07If we have exposures, be it bite or bite of a dog or cat,
03:11we need to have rabies managed immediately.
03:15Because rabies, until now, still doesn't have a cure.
03:19So, the window period for rabies management is until there are no signs and symptoms.
03:25Especially, what happened in the video,
03:27where the exposure is on the head,
03:30so, it has proximity to the brain.
03:32So, the symptoms might come out immediately.
03:36That's why rabies management should be done immediately.
03:41The dog that bit Sandra is the Belgian Malinois.
03:45Belgian Malinois is an extremely alert and responsive breed.
03:49That's why they are perfect as a guard dog.
03:51Their senses are also sharp.
03:54Let the expert remind you.
03:57For any breed of dog, we need to be careful when we approach them.
04:02Especially if they don't know us.
04:06It seems like the dog was surprised.
04:10Maybe a lack of introduction from Ms. Sandra.
04:14Caught by surprise for what is happening around.
04:18And then, maybe he saw that Ms. Sandra wrapped her hands around his neck.
04:26So, the space of the dog was limited.
04:31And that makes him uncomfortable.
04:33You know how to recognize the dog's body language.
04:37If they are triggered, if they are anxious.
04:41At that moment, the dog doesn't like to be pet.
04:45You can see that in the face of the dog, in the body language.
04:49As a master trainer, Duane is already used to handling Belgian Malinois.
04:55Here, he is with his student, Magnus.
04:59And you don't have to worry.
05:01Because this is a breed of dog, he is kind and disciplined.
05:06He's very kind.
05:07He's very gentle.
05:09Sometimes, he gets too overly excited.
05:12Which is very normal.
05:14He uses French as his language.
05:17Because Magnus uses it for show.
05:21For competition, international.
05:25So, sit.
05:28Stay.
05:29Couché.
05:33Good.
05:35But of course, he has the right habits and knowledge.
05:39That's why this morning, he will give some tips to Sandra
05:42on how to interact with the dog for the first time.
05:47Hi, Ms. Sandra.
05:49Hi.
05:50This is Magnus.
05:52Hi, Magnus.
05:53Belgian Malinois, just like what you encountered in your video.
05:59But this one is very gentle.
06:01When you see that he's raising his ears,
06:05that means he's just alert around him.
06:09Sometimes, when he's down like that,
06:12it just simply means that he's anxious.
06:15Or when you approach him,
06:17it's better if you're on the side.
06:20So, when we approach the dog,
06:22the approach shouldn't be big.
06:24Like, we'll get them.
06:26Or we'll carry them.
06:27We'll carry them.
06:28Or if they feel anything, they'll feel threatened.
06:31And then, when petting the dog,
06:33it should be brushing.
06:35One direction.
06:36Okay.
06:37Hi.
06:38He's laughing.
06:39No, no, no.
06:41Hi, Magnus.
06:43I'm petting him.
06:44He's okay now.
06:45Then, say sit.
06:46Sit.
06:47Wow.
06:48Good.
06:50The guard tried to find a way to talk to him,
06:53but he didn't respond.
06:55For me,
06:56I won't blame you
06:58and I won't blame the dog
07:00for what happened.
07:01Because it happened all of a sudden.
07:03Like, we didn't expect it to happen.
07:05So, I'm not mad at the dog.
07:07What I learned is,
07:09don't just touch them.
07:11Because, of course,
07:13other animals or dogs,
07:16there are parts where they don't want to be touched.
07:25What happened to Sandra,
07:27I hope it will be a lesson
07:28and a reminder to our dog lovers.
07:31There's nothing wrong with making friends
07:33in our category, Man's Best Friend.
07:35As long as we don't cross their boundaries.
07:38Okay?
07:39We'll just clarify this, guys.
07:41This kind of incident
07:43can really happen to anyone,
07:45regardless of the breed.
07:48What's needed is proper training for the dog
07:50and proper knowledge for humans.
07:54Aha!
