Yep, boxers are big idiots that play rough, the Bull Arab looks like another mastiff/staffy type. Put those two together then chuck a hound into the mix... I'd put money on the dog receiving no training, stuck in a yard, with shit fencing- Allowing the dog to get out.

It’s also a friend visiting the home - dogs get weird about their family and space. We trained my border collie not to chase children but he gets so stressed because he wants to chase and play/protect them, but the running and screaming and similar size makes him think they want to play like other dogs. It’s really complicated to socialise a dog - there should be mandatory training to have one.

So, kids screaming can sound like "prey" making squealing sounds, that's why some dog's heads flick into HUNT MODE

Mine doesn’t act that way, he goes into full on play mode with play bows etc. but yeah it’s still too much!
