#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #Gorilla #Dog
Hey why are there still primates? I thought they jumped into the human race? Talk about fairytales
At least it wasn’t a stray gorilla finding itself in a dog enclosure.
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine if the gorillas were like “you are one of us now tiny four legged one”
Lol. The gorilla threw dirt at the dog in the most animal to animal “Shew” that could be.
🤣🤣🤣
Harambee was innocent!
Why is this a big deal
Dog was like this 💩 ain’t right, I’m supposed to be in a cage not the gorillas!
I was hoping the gorilla would throw that dog 50 feet in the air
Boooooo creep
Troll
The gorillas just following the dog like, “we just want to talk to you’.
😂😂😂😂😂
I’m glad this wasnt another Harambe incident and they didnt shoot the gorilla
Thank God Peta didn’t respond and the humane society did. The dog would’ve been dead that very day if it’d been peta.
Reminds me of that scene in anchorman where Ron jumps into the bear pit, and immediately gets world news coverage lol
🤣
Dog: Ohh sheeeiiiiit!
Gorilla: Why are you running? Why are you running?
Dog breaks into Gorilla enclosure but we think the Gorilla is the aggressor. Okay?
Well, the gorilla was the one doing the chasing.
@Mary Thomas it’s the Gorillas home!
THANK YOU SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY AND ZOO STAFF ⚕️.LOVE YOU GUYS💖
Guys a weird looking spaceship crashed in Las Vegas today and a female filmed it with her phone. We got the footage. Something weird is going on https://youtu.be/JE0NPsibdqg
need to find and fix the hole so this will never happen again
HOW EXACTLY DID THE DOG “WANDER” INTO A ENCLOSURE ??
Thank you! Every time I’ve been to a zoo there was a no pets policy 😒
So glad the handsome doggie wasn’t harmed
Dogs can’t jump fences there ,
So where and why was there a place for him to get in ?
They better adopt the dog they better not put the dog asleep wtf
Someone plz adopt him!!
Who brings a dog to the zoo? I thought they had rules against that.
It’s San Diego, so the dog thought he could identify as a gorilla…
A “Female” Gorilla and use the pronoun “Them”. LOL!!!
Nice looking pooch, I’m looking for pup like him.
Hopefully He Will Be Adopted And Not Put Down
Smart Doggie
He Just Knew To Try Find Some Primates To Take Him In
Aww, would have been awesome if the gorillas pounced on him and tore him up. Oh well, waiting for the next stray domestic animal to wander in.
sick
Humans are domesticated animals.
Why wait for some other domesticated animal to do something you hope will happen when you can do it yourself?
Stand by your words and get in there already
I hope they would take out those gorillas like you did with Hembre
I’d like to see the story but verizon won’t cooperate.
Oh s***! Run doggie run! 😮
Hello Mary good morning, how are you doing today?
The scared dog? He didn’t look scared to me. I hope he find a loving home.
He was scared. Running fast with tail down. There’s your clue.
I’D ADOPT HIM IF I WASN’T IN THE UK.
GOD BLESS MIGHTY JOE! 🙏🏼
I PRAY HE FINDS A GOOD HOME IF THE OWNER DOESN’T COME FORWARD, HE LIKE ALL THE REST DESERVE A GOOD, LOVING HOME. ❤️
Agree wit you. I think if he has a family, they don’t deserve this sweet boy: he doesn’t have a ID collar, no microchip & worse: he’s not neutered! Do we really need more pregnant females with the amount we have in shelters nationwide?
Good job you saved a stray dog.
That dog’s all, “Aw, crap! What have I done?!?”
Entirely too vague. If the dog can make it into a prison for animals…the gorillas can make it out.
How did he get in can you imagine if the child got in from the same place the dog did of course there is a opening way to get in I hope they fix that up
It’s san diego so… keep a close eye on your kids…
That dog has a war stop to tell when he gets home lol 🦍
Thanks for saying how the dog got in there. Excellent reporting, as always.
Right?
But, they never said how the dog got into the gorilla habitat.
This is a children’s book in the making
The dog was clearly using Apple Maps and not Google Maps
RIP Harambe, never forget
Enslaved Gorillas, feral dogs within their prison, and the noise of our news, all twisted into something “good” proof of the hieght of our civilization! Greg Withrow
touch grass.
Happy news.
Anyone else feeling a strong urge to adopt this little one?
If the dog could get in the gorilla could get out…. Just sayin.
Too bad now your going to put him to sleep ..so sad 😥
Now he’s scared😄.
But how is it even possible that the dog got in there?
This lady is lucky that dog didn’t bite her nose or face, their is a news reporter on youtube who’s career was ended suddenly for putting her face to a dog’s face that ended bad for her.
Missed opportunity: shoulda named him, Baxter.
Stay classy, San Diego.
Adorable pup.
pulled the old sand in the face trick!..lol
That was “pretty funny”
Some wrestlers did that move😎
How can we adopt this dog, please?
Finally a news report with a loving happy ending…
What da dog doing
Great job 👍😍❤️👏👏👏👏
So, if the dog can get in that easily does that mean the gorillas can get out that easily?!😳
I’m glad the dog made it.
Glad this sweetheart is OK. I would name him Tarzan, who walked among the apes.
The gorillas never would have caught the dog lol at least nobody shot the Gorilla in the face which is standard protocol in the US.
Wow 😯 amazing mighty joe young. You showed em 👍 glad you are well. And kudos to humane society officer and staff ❤❤🙏
Empty the cages…. These San Diego prison guards are clearly inept.
WOW.
Thank goodness they didnt shoot the gorilla like last time… RIP HARAMBE!
Someone abandoned that dog
Owner has to pay for almost deadly mistake.
I am so glad, that this sweet dog 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕 did not get hurt by this gorilla 🦍🦍🦍, this gorilla just acted on instinct, glad this dog was rescued ,my heart was racing when I saw this video on the news about this dog 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊️🕊️🕊️🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙🌺🌺🌺🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺. Beautiful Christine chastity lampkin I would like to come to this zoo just to visit how much it cost to see these wonderful animals ❗❗❗
He’s a good boy . 🐶
That puppy ran the other way because he was only trying to HELP the gorillas. It’s always the nice folk who you don’t want to cross. And that puppy was WAAAYYY too nice.
I been straight scared for the gorillas all video long…
… so the gorillas could just wonder out as well??
Aww I hope he gets reunited with his owners or to get adopted
Mutt Looking for a snack ?
Thanks so much ❤
Good thing the poor puppy wasn’t at the whitehouse or Biden would have him euthanized.
Owuh my Gadddd!!! That dog was SO fortunate, whew! Thank God it’s safe!
say dog backwards
fake?
William Oscar Garvin: the reason why that gorilla follows the dog might be a little curious about this dog.
he doesnt look scared… he looks as happy as can be! Unaware of the dangers
Thank goodness the dog wasn’t a homeless person looking for a place to sleep. The cops would have taken his doghouse to the dump and then put up spikes all over the gorilla exhibit to prevent the dog from sleeping anywhere.
That doggy will get himself a great new home because of this.
Hope he gets adopted out soon. His family doesn’t deserve him: not neutered, not microchipped, no collar. Other reports mentioned another dog (who didn’t get into the enclosure).🤷♀️ So happy this boy is safe 💖🐾🐾
Gorillas like.
I want me a dog sandwich lol
They should nickname him, “Mighty Lucky.”
Gorilla should of tossed the mf out the enclosure
meanwhile at the zoo and balboa park……
One guy yelled to the dog..” Use the steps”…the dog was like , what? I don’t speak English? 😆
They should make a Pixar movie out of this lol
So, they shot the rilla because the dog felt threatened by an animal that was curious to see what a k9 is doing in his prison
I don’t believe the in the coincidence that NatGeo was just lucky to be there with all their gear at the same time that a dog MIRACULOUSLY strayed into a Rilla enclosure.
Let’s just say someone out there knows something that we don’t
Thank God they got the dog out of there. Those gorillas probably would’ve ripped it in half.
Hope he get adopted quickly
Every video with this dog in the gorilla inclosure should have “Living on the Edge” playing in the background.
💕
He did it is a brave dog ,I truly love that dog
They need to determine how the dog got into the gorilla habitat before the gorillas discover the way out.
Well that’s one way to get adopted
This gorilla enclosure/habitat is HORRIBLE and the zoo should be ashamed! Gorillas in the wild live in thick jungles. It’s abusive, depressing and anxiety inducing for these innocent caged up animals who are also bored out of their minds. Who cares though, right? It’s about making money for the zoo. Good doggie for pointing this crap enclosure out. 💜
the gorillas were like ” oh! they FINALLY got us that dog we’ve been asking for!!” ..then probably so disappointed.. remember Coco asked for a kitten and loved her kitten..”All ball”
A stray dog. Makes me think what are these evil corporations really feeding these animals to save money.
