I just see a man and a dog having some fun. Got a good chuckle out of it. The angler didn't seem concerned or upset in any way. On the contrary! ;D

Actually it's the angler who is irresponsible.
If you're not keeping a fish you must release it as quickly as possible, even an my friend snagged chum on the Stave.

I'd be worried about my dog getting a hook in the face if it popped out or he bit down on it.

He shows another vid with a chum flopping on the shore...based on the color I cant she him keeping it so its another example of poor fish handling.prolonged releases or dragging fish up on the beach or both big no no's in my books.

In my opinion, Skipper's owner needs to be responsible for his dog's well-being. Having your dog swim around a hooked chum is asking for trouble. What happens when the hook comes out and hooks Skipper? In addition, if I were playing a fish and under the ethical responsibility of bringing in that fish in a timely and careful manner, then I wouldn't want Skipper swimming around and mouthing it. Some dog owners are very aware that not all the world loves their dog and do their best to minmalize their pet's unsolicited impact on people around them. Dogs play a very important role in many peoples' lives. That being said, when I am fishing, I would not want a dog barking at me, jumping on me, or putting itself at risk from my gear, or mouthing a steelhead I am about to release.

I totally agree with your last sentence.

I have personally hooked another anglers dog because his dog kept trying to grab our hooks as we cast and finally managed to succeed and I had kept asking the owner if he could get his dog to just lay on shore, at least the situation played out in a good way. My buddies dog he has loves to bark and get in the water trying to grab our fish which at times can be very annoying and dangerous for her....she is getting better as she ages thankfully. My dog barks at everyone however once you pet him he is fine, I also don't bring him often and only when it's warm out.
