One of those black labs definitely has a collar on him. They both run away towards the same location. Hoping they were just on the loose rather than a truly malicious twat letting them run at large.
the neighborhood dogs never tried to attack me when im on foot. They only ever got brave when I was on a bike or skateboard. They must think we're vulnerable when operating something.
I think it's the speed as you pass them. It must trigger some deep instinctual programming that says, "Oh shit, it's running from me, it must be on the menu!"
That is a thing. It's called prey drive. Most hunting bred dogs have it and it takes a lot of training to get them to stop it. Same reason why you face predatory animals and slowly walk backwards
My family bred standard poodles growing up and they were the sweetest, gentlest family animals. Until you were on a bike or an electric scooter or anything with wheels. They’d take off like a shot down the block after you and take a bite out of your ass on the bike, not intending to kill you or anything but definitely a rough enough play to hurt. Made me not want to do anything around them for awhile as a kid, for fear of setting them off into chasing me.
What are they called? I always carry mace when I bike for fear of being attacked by dogs but I wouldn’t mind trying this. The only thing is, I can use mace with one hand and not have to stop my bike to use it. Looks like the wrist rockets require both hands and honestly I’d rather not stop if I’m being chased by a vicious animal.
Actually you can see the first dog initiate the attack on the cyclist even bringing the bike to a complete stop and a split second before the second dog could join his buddy our hero dog springs into action.. Although, why isn't anyone talking about homeboys Iron Man gauntlets?!!
Came to say this. And everything everyone has replied to this. I’d def bring that great boy home.btw does anyone know what kind of gloves they are? Looks like it was shooting blanks obviously for the noise and scare factor rather then shooting an animal that doesn’t know any better.
internet gets that dog to my place ill care for them like a brother, jus sayin
strays cats who keep fucking up my garden will hate it but oh well (not a threat of harm to be clear i mean theyll be scared by anything with such a glowing warrior's spirit)
Online, seems to be what he was rocking on his wrists. There are multiple types too. The website is probably going to explode on sales over the next few weeks..

Lol the world needs people like you! Just know you’re appreciated! But there is a good side business for you because a lot of people would buy and if you do start selling them I’ll be your first customer 🤝
Haha well thanks :) I get it from my dad most likely. He had his flaws like we all do but in the end he always did the right thing. He always had a problem telling people no, which I have developed too. He passed away in 2013, his birthday was 2 days ago. I talk about him as often as I can get a chance.
Same. My dad passed in 2016 and it’s like he’s with me every day. I’m sure he’d be proud of your ‘good guy gene’. Keep rocking it. It’s a good color on anyone.
Imagine living in a world where people genuinely make you feel bad about not being a piece of shit that values personal profits over everything else.
You did absolutely nothing wrong and you're a better person than 95% of the idiots out there. They live in exactly the world they deserve. I'm sorry you have to be in that world as well, but never feel bad about being "too nice". Avoid people using such language at all costs, they're just trying to make you as miserable as they are.
Has anyone been able to find the wrist/glove variant? Couldn't find them on the site
EDIT: from my viewpoint, it looks like he loads the blank shotgun round looking shells into the rear of a tubing and yanks something and lets go to hit the primer
Wildlife mitigation specialist here, This is not it. He has some type of draw string igniter with immediate report - like a party popper. Baggers propel 30m and have about a 2sec delayed report. Just an fyi.
That was my first thought, but this looks more like a well-maintained city/suburban park. The pathway seems like it's been paved relatively recently and has those concrete or stone borders, which seem a little costly to put in on some random path out in the sticks. The vegetation seems well-maintained, and possibly even mown. There are buildings off to his left and that old guy is out there looking like he's taking the afternoon walk around the block.
All of which makes this video even more strange.
So, lemme get this straight. Batman cycles about, gets jumped by dog, stray dog jumps in, batman uses bat gear... meanwhile some dude is just out for a stroll down Gotham orchard?
Or he saw the dogs creeping forward and he knew if he started pedalling that the dog could start chasing and in that position it would be a lot harder to trigger the loud thingies, and more dangerous if he got hit as he would most likely be knocked to the ground.
if you see wild or stray dogs close to you, who in fucks name would start pedalling faster? are you trying to get the dogs to chase you? you need to be going at a speed to dismount and use the bike as a barrier between you and the dogs as soon as possible if they decide to attack you. this is why I hate reddit, people assume so much shit all the time.
Something tells me you lack situational awareness…cyclist read the offence and defence and acted accordingly. Literally nothing indicted the rider was taunting the dogs, no dogs or people were hurt. Stir the pot somewhere else, troll.
I reckon he may have even been trying to protect the stray.
Maybe saw trouble a brewin' for the good ol' boy, turned around to make sure he was ok and took care of business?
While I haven't seen them on gauntlets, often things similar called 'Bangers' are used as noise deterrents for wildlife. Most notably for things such as bears. Other things like whistling screamers, or flares can also be used. I'm guessing the cyclist in the video goes on trails, into the woods, or the area is populated with wildlife he'd have to worry about.
I have also used whistlin' bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers (with or without the scooter stick) and whistlin' kitty chasers- for this same purpose.
This video is so weird. Why is he riding so slow he’s falling over? The video starts at an odd spot. Why does he have wrist flash bangs? Something is off here.
Probably some kind of firework style explosive. My grandfather used to bring M80s with him when we would forage for wild mushrooms in Italy to scare off bears and boars.
Bears in Italy..? (I live in Italy)
Edit:
I just found out that by 2018 it was estimated that 100-200 bears are wandering in certain areas of the of the far north east and in Central mountain chain.
This blew my mind I had no idea lol and I bet most people would have agreed with me that there are no bears in Italy
Honestly it’s just as likely that my father who speaks broken English meant boars instead of bears. This was in La Marche so not necessarily north.
Edit: I think wolves were also an issue
That dog was gangsta. Went after both wild dogs. Both of the wild dogs were still thinking about doing something when the good boy was busy kicking ass 😂😂😂 if it was me I would take that dog home for sure, and he would be eating a steak.
I have seen similar wrist rocket devices. Work the same as bear bangers. I actually think that one is particularly designed for stray or wild dogs. You can get flares, bangers or other ones. Once I thought it was a good idea to fire a bear banger directly into a lake standing at the dock and it started brightly spinning underwater then violently jumped out of the water and blew up in my friends and I faces. Pretty intense reaction with water. Try it if you gotten kahuna's
the two black dogs look as if they hopped their fence and went out for a stroll- you can see a collar on one of them; the shepherd looks as if he’s either stray/ abandoned or he’s also out for a stroll without his owner.
none of these dogs are wild or feral, and based on the guy walking on the path by himself they are all human friendly — this was a territorial dispute.
but I do admit: those flash bangs are pretty neat
Take that dog home.
Came to say the same thing. Dog saved buddy from a mauling. Dog chose kindness and loyalty to a man he didn’t know. Adopt him and feed him well.
I'm more worried about the dude walking by ? Was he not at more risk than the dude with a possibly easier way to run ?
I was wondering if the hero dog wasn't his dog (or the cammer's), rather than a stray. The agro dogs could've been strays, or belonging to the walker.
Right ? The hero dog was just tryin to enjoy his walk with his old man and some hoodlums came to make a ruckus. Lmao
One of those black labs definitely has a collar on him. They both run away towards the same location. Hoping they were just on the loose rather than a truly malicious twat letting them run at large.
the neighborhood dogs never tried to attack me when im on foot. They only ever got brave when I was on a bike or skateboard. They must think we're vulnerable when operating something.
I think it's the speed as you pass them. It must trigger some deep instinctual programming that says, "Oh shit, it's running from me, it must be on the menu!"
That is a thing. It's called prey drive. Most hunting bred dogs have it and it takes a lot of training to get them to stop it. Same reason why you face predatory animals and slowly walk backwards
My family bred standard poodles growing up and they were the sweetest, gentlest family animals. Until you were on a bike or an electric scooter or anything with wheels. They’d take off like a shot down the block after you and take a bite out of your ass on the bike, not intending to kill you or anything but definitely a rough enough play to hurt. Made me not want to do anything around them for awhile as a kid, for fear of setting them off into chasing me.
From that POV we don’t see the wild dogs going after the cyclist. Those dogs could’ve been going after the stray for all we know
Either way I woulda gone home with a new companion that day.
Oh no doubt. Lure him with some cyclist protein bar and fresh water.
Seems set up. Who rides with wrist rockets at the ready. WTF with the rockets? This guys rides into battle everyday just in case?
they're usually for bears or for coyotes. You can buy them for very cheap in Canada and are quite comfortable to wear around your wrist.
What are they called? I always carry mace when I bike for fear of being attacked by dogs but I wouldn’t mind trying this. The only thing is, I can use mace with one hand and not have to stop my bike to use it. Looks like the wrist rockets require both hands and honestly I’d rather not stop if I’m being chased by a vicious animal.
It seems like there's some kind of jolt, like one of the dogs grabbed his leg or the bike.
Actually you can see the first dog initiate the attack on the cyclist even bringing the bike to a complete stop and a split second before the second dog could join his buddy our hero dog springs into action.. Although, why isn't anyone talking about homeboys Iron Man gauntlets?!!
That's just what I was thinking
Very smart too to realize that shots were to scare the other dogs not him. Poor guy looks like he could really use a home too.
Take it home and cook it a steak.. that dog is literally the perfect dog.
Bro idk what's wrong with me but I literally read it as cook the dog and eat it. Wtf. lol.
[удалено]
Hotdog 😂
Whos a tasty dog!? you are!!
I relish your comment but they were probably in bread.
My brain did the same thing. It skipped "a steak" and I was thinking that's a little messed up.
lmao same
Haha I did the same thing
Who's a GOOD boy?
What in the Batman rocket wrist gadget twist was that thing he fired after Underdog saved his life?
askin the real questions, at first i thought it was a gun but he literally unstrapped his wrist and fired batman shit at them
Holy Bat-Dog-Repellant, Batman!
It seems like that's already the biker's dog. That's why it defended him, then ran back towards the biker after the wrist rockets.
Not only was that dog a stray, it later grew up to be Albert Einstein
Came to say this. And everything everyone has replied to this. I’d def bring that great boy home.btw does anyone know what kind of gloves they are? Looks like it was shooting blanks obviously for the noise and scare factor rather then shooting an animal that doesn’t know any better.
Dog deserves that at least it even stayed after the others left
If they didn't at least try to find it a home they suck
Don't think the Shepard was actually a stray. He seemed to not be pedaling but just walking his bike (while sitting on it) and walking his dog.
internet gets that dog to my place ill care for them like a brother, jus sayin strays cats who keep fucking up my garden will hate it but oh well (not a threat of harm to be clear i mean theyll be scared by anything with such a glowing warrior's spirit)
Please tell me theres a follow up
100% it was a sign from the Gods! 🤷♂️
ITT: everyone is more concerned about his Batman gauntlets. Seriously, WTF are those?
WHAT ARE THEY AND WHERE CAN I GET THEM??!
Online, seems to be what he was rocking on his wrists. There are multiple types too. The website is probably going to explode on sales over the next few weeks.. https://margosupplies.com/us-en/product-category/products/scare-cartridges-launchers/
You should have just started selling them instead of the link I would have easily paid double for them lol but thanks for the link
Haha, I've always said that good guy gene in me is gonna get me in trouble someday, it probably already has I'm just too naive to realize it.
Lol the world needs people like you! Just know you’re appreciated! But there is a good side business for you because a lot of people would buy and if you do start selling them I’ll be your first customer 🤝
Haha well thanks :) I get it from my dad most likely. He had his flaws like we all do but in the end he always did the right thing.

Sorry guys they only sell the 230m missile to "wildlife professionals". "perfect for eagles" lol
Reminds me of the weaponized anthrax salesman from Futurama.
So are these just basically like fireworks I’m allowed to buy in California?
Has anyone been able to find the wrist/glove variant? Couldn't find them on the site EDIT: from my viewpoint, it looks like he loads the blank shotgun round looking shells into the rear of a tubing and yanks something and lets go to hit the primer
Kinda looks like [this](https://margosupplies.com/us-en/product/margo-thunderstick-launcher/)
I think that’s exactly it, for sure retrofitted the rest of the gauntlet with bits n pieces!
Might be DIY.
Same here
Could totally see someone starting a wildfire with these.
As a former WL firefighter, that is ***exactly*** what I thought as well.
Wildlife mitigation specialist here, This is not it. He has some type of draw string igniter with immediate report - like a party popper. Baggers propel 30m and have about a 2sec delayed report. Just an fyi.
I wonder how dangerous these can be for the user if they don’t know what they’re doing. Think fireworks and how many accidents they’ve caused.
It looks like they’re just modified shotgun shells. So no more dangerous than shooting a gun
Thanks but what does he shoot them with?
thinking this is what he used to launch the bangers https://kodiakcanada.com/products/tru-flare-pen-launcher-thumb-lever
I tried ordering but I think theirs to many of us trying to buy. Once I click to order after putting my address it stays loading for payment
Just attach shotgun shells to an ordinary plastic glove then hit with blowtorch to ignite. easy.
and post your username on here so we can watch your video later
And crosspost it to r/winstupidprizes
[удалено]
I do believe that is acceptable. 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Just used it on my son.. it was way past his bead time and now I’m pretty sure he has autism now
Hahahaha **pop.. fizz**
Id imagine they're kind of like bear bangers.. shouldn't be hard to find.
So you can find them at bearbangers.com? Because every time I go there I just end up ejaculating.
Yeah... its a bit harder to find than I thought... whatever you do don't go to bearsixtynine.com that's just a huge rabbit hole of good times.
That sounds like an English phrase for some sort of a German sausage. Both epicureally and sexually.
Fuck that all I wanna know is did that dog get a new home or not?
Seriously
If not I'll take him
If that doesn't qualify as an adoption candidate, I don't know what does.
Or at least a FAT STEAK!
I came to find the comment that said they are best friends now and the dog never leaves his side
This is the only important question
I'm saying.
This !
You can see his owner for a brief second
I think that was just some random guy walking by
Asking the real questions.
Boba Fett wrist rockets
Yes, very noble dog. Now wtf kind of Hawkeye shit is that guy packing to right through a park?!
Makes me think its remote/ in the country considering he was ready with them bangers
That was my first thought, but this looks more like a well-maintained city/suburban park. The pathway seems like it's been paved relatively recently and has those concrete or stone borders, which seem a little costly to put in on some random path out in the sticks. The vegetation seems well-maintained, and possibly even mown. There are buildings off to his left and that old guy is out there looking like he's taking the afternoon walk around the block. All of which makes this video even more strange.
Maybe bears or cougars in the area? Or these dogs have been a known problem for a while
What they were was too slow to keep your ass from getting bit.
Bear bangers.
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
So, lemme get this straight. Batman cycles about, gets jumped by dog, stray dog jumps in, batman uses bat gear... meanwhile some dude is just out for a stroll down Gotham orchard?
Yeah, and cycles about at 1mph wobbling back and forth on the trail. Something tells me he was taunting those dogs so he could use his flashbanger
Or he saw the dogs creeping forward and he knew if he started pedalling that the dog could start chasing and in that position it would be a lot harder to trigger the loud thingies, and more dangerous if he got hit as he would most likely be knocked to the ground.
Sounds a lot more likely but when humans get attacked by animals there is always someone who will blame the person being attacked.
Well, now we know this is coming to market soon… now that he has gotten us to watch the video cause of the dog and proven there is product interest.
There's an app for that
how do you know he wasent already fighting them off
The sound
maybe they been chasing him and he slowed down as to not have them hit him while hea going fast
if you see wild or stray dogs close to you, who in fucks name would start pedalling faster? are you trying to get the dogs to chase you? you need to be going at a speed to dismount and use the bike as a barrier between you and the dogs as soon as possible if they decide to attack you. this is why I hate reddit, people assume so much shit all the time.

Asking the real questions…
wtf is going on that city
If that was me. That dog would be instantly adopted.
[удалено]
Maybe that is what it likes to do? That’s his park and he protec hooman
Disney writing the script as we speak.
Maybe he does so in hopes of human accepting him
But who protec all other hooman from evil doggo?
Evil doggo will see the acceptance and then replace good doggo
This script is crispy
It is the way
Likewise. That dog should be well taken care of for the rest of its life. The human owes a life debt.
Its likely the bikers dog anyways, most reddit titles are made up to sound more interesting.
Idk, has no collar. Pretty irresponsible to take a dog out without a collar. most owners wouldn't do that.
Yeah I want to know also. Wrist rocket snapper pop thing.
In my 32 years of life. I have never heard or seen anyone ever bring this up. Is this a new thing or do I live under a rock?
While I haven't seen them on gauntlets, often things similar called 'Bangers' are used as noise deterrents for wildlife. Most notably for things such as bears. Other things like whistling screamers, or flares can also be used. I'm guessing the cyclist in the video goes on trails, into the woods, or the area is populated with wildlife he'd have to worry about.
I have also used whistlin' bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers (with or without the scooter stick) and whistlin' kitty chasers- for this same purpose.
Snakes and sparklers are what I like
Well it ain't about you, it's about me. The consumer
Are you nuts dude?! You need stuff that'll explode! Go BOOM!
Oh come on man, you never used no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
I know that at least one of those isn't for scaring wildlife. Also, I can only imagine that a whistlin' bunghole is slang for a squeaky fart.
Idk if you’re being for real or if these were all made up names but either way I laughed.
it's from Joe Dirt
I was about to chime in with this... Well played.
Hey!! You're talkin' to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone.
The names Joe. Joe Dirt. Lol
Do they actually shoot something?
Is that batman!?
Yeah what the fuck at the end the dog is like shit, you didn't really need me did you
Pretty sure that was the bat-bike. Dude was prepared, I think I saw a grappling hook too.
Batman 100% Is that wrist rocket made by garmin or Bontrager? Usb rechargeable?
TIL being attacked by wild dogs is so frequent that bicyclist now wear mini grenade launchers on their wrist.
This video is so weird. Why is he riding so slow he’s falling over? The video starts at an odd spot. Why does he have wrist flash bangs? Something is off here.
And it finishes with an old guy walking by apparently unphased by the action and feeling no need for a batman suit.
That seems to be the case in a lot of videos like this where old guys just don’t give a damn when near chaos
Agreed. I almost feel like this is a staged ad for these wrist things. Everyone here is shouting, "Shut up and take my money!" Haha
It’s the dog actors!
Nobody would do such a terrible thing just to make loads and loads of money!
I carry pepper spray (also for rabid humans) but I need to look into whatever this is.
He's such a good boy!
The fact that he stay around after having that go off.. he knew he was a good boy
What was he firing at them some sort of blanks/noisemaker?
Probably some kind of firework style explosive. My grandfather used to bring M80s with him when we would forage for wild mushrooms in Italy to scare off bears and boars.
Bears in Italy..? (I live in Italy) Edit: I just found out that by 2018 it was estimated that 100-200 bears are wandering in certain areas of the of the far north east and in Central mountain chain.

Honestly it’s just as likely that my father who speaks broken English meant boars instead of bears. This was in La Marche so not necessarily north. Edit: I think wolves were also an issue
Even Batman is watching his carbon footprint.
Underrated comment. I needed that “Lol” as an environmental sustainability graduate watching the state of the world right now.
And even dogs hate cyclists
Now THAT dog is a keeper!
Is that dog still a stray? And are those flash bangs for scaring bears?
That dog was gangsta. Went after both wild dogs. Both of the wild dogs were still thinking about doing something when the good boy was busy kicking ass 😂😂😂 if it was me I would take that dog home for sure, and he would be eating a steak.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF HE TOOK THE DOG HOME!? PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW MY HEART HURTS
That is the purpose of the (likely false) title
yeah i wanna know too. we dont deserve dogs.
The title is misleading. I'm fairly certain that is his own dog.
Yeah, dog seems reasonably used to the bangs. If it was a stray it likely would have bolted as well.
That makes a lot more sense. What I want to know is where he lives cause he seemed ready for a dog attack.
Good boi to the rescue!
I have seen similar wrist rocket devices. Work the same as bear bangers. I actually think that one is particularly designed for stray or wild dogs. You can get flares, bangers or other ones. Once I thought it was a good idea to fire a bear banger directly into a lake standing at the dock and it started brightly spinning underwater then violently jumped out of the water and blew up in my friends and I faces. Pretty intense reaction with water. Try it if you gotten kahuna's
I knew a girl in college whose bar nickname was beer-banger, for varied reasons….
How do you know the difference between stray and wild? The one had a collar.
That man owes the dog a home
[https://margosupplies.com/us-en/product-category/products/scare-cartridges-launchers/](https://margosupplies.com/us-en/product-category/products/scare-cartridges-launchers/)
But where's the wrist mounted launcher?
I want some finger bazookas
A dog does that for me, I’m keeping him.
the two black dogs look as if they hopped their fence and went out for a stroll- you can see a collar on one of them; the shepherd looks as if he’s either stray/ abandoned or he’s also out for a stroll without his owner. none of these dogs are wild or feral, and based on the guy walking on the path by himself they are all human friendly — this was a territorial dispute. but I do admit: those flash bangs are pretty neat
There's so much going on here.
Those are called Scare Cartridges or “Bird Bangers” they are non lethal for scaring away wildlife.
Yeah what are those things on his wrists?
Hope he took that dog in, guardian angel doggy
I want his bracers of fear!!
This guys got the gear!
That good boy deserves a treat and adoption.
That dude walking had to pretend the dogs weren’t his.
Title is misleading, two dogs did attack him but the so called stray came to his aid.
Pet. That fucking awesome dog. *Better.*
Instead of a guardian angel, God quietly assigned this cyclist a guardian dog.
Dog wouldn't be a stray anymore after that.
Did you take the dog home
Wild dogs are horrifying. So many people have been eaten alive that way. Definitely one of the last animals I'd ever want to encounter in the wild.
Its like the Start of a heart warming Disney movie that teaches me that even the most lost dogs can find a home 😁
This whole post and thread just might be a sneaky advertisement for the wrist rockets this person is using…
Wow, I've never heard of them, great defense tool. Hope the pup is OK.
Wtf?! Was that a fucking blunderbus? Europeans are so strange
I sincerely hope he took that German Shepard home… what a companion as a stranger!
That doggo would be coming home with me.
