It was all under control until he opened the gate. The Boerboel bolted quickly. Cooper didn't stand a chance, even though he tried to grip the leash. The powerful dog pulled him forward without a care in the world. Unfortunately, it was hilariously clear who was calling the shots. The moment showed just how strong Boerboels can be.

According to Wikipedia, the Boerboel is a South African breed of large mastiff-type dog used as a family guard. They're known for their size and strong muscles. The breed comes from an old mix of mastiffs and bulldogs that farmers used to use for guarding their properties and to hunt big game.

"Boerboel dog always in a hurry, even when they eat."

@ntems_m asked:

"Excuse my ignorance, but are these dogs child-friendly? They look much cuter and friendlier than pit bulls (yes, I know they're super strong and dangerous too, lol)."

@mama_a replied:

"They are definitely child-friendly. They are one of the best dogs to get when you have kids. Very protective too."

@b_magongo laughed:

"The dog is taking him for a walk."
