Some people just do not deserve to be parents or pet owners, the laughter in the background tells me these people should be neither. That is one VERY tolerant dog, most would not be so laid back about being bounced on.
That dog showed incredible tolerance. Our dog who is well-trained, a good dog and very used to our own young children would have 100% lunged and bitten my kids in the first 15 seconds if we allowed our kids to treat him in that manner -- no doubt in my mind.
This clip could have ended so much differently, but then the moron behind the camera wouldn't have posted it because he'd be too busy driving the kid to the hospital to have his face reattached. His witless glee is disturbing. Should not have children or pets. I doubt they realize how close the kid was to being maimed at the point they are encouraging him to "give Scooby a kiss!" That is one helluva dog, deserves a better home. If that kid was hopping up and down on me like that I wouldn't have behaved as well as the Rotti.

Just an observation, as some people may have viewed this differently - the problem was the child, not the fact the the dog was a Rottweiler.
Most reported dog bites are from small dogs, rather than large dogs.
This behavior would have been inappropriate if the pet was a cat.
And if the poor dog HAD bitten the child mauling it, the owners would have likely euthanized it and maligned the breed. Some people honestly can't read dog body language. That dog is screaming that it isn't comfortable, it's just no one involved can hear it.
Teaching basic respect for all animals needs to start young. Someday this kid will try jumping on a less tolerant animal and it won't end well. I was badly bitten in the face by our pet Pekingese when I was young. My brother threw a pillow and I leaned over the dog to 'protect' him while the dog was chewing a bone. My brother got a long lecture about throwing things, I got a long lecture about looming over a dog while it was eating, and the dog went on being a dog. The dog never bit before that or after.
