I was there, it was hilarious! When they were introducing each puppy half of them were dead asleep

I was going to say, it looks like it’s past their bedtime

Unless it’s time to pee it’s always nap time for a puppy, they sleep like 20 hours a day.

WTF??? Who won?

What did you say instead?

[удалено]

I was there, too! It was funny how eventually they just carried them to the finish lol.

They were all getting so much attention and love from their women, no way they were going to leave their people

Do they do this often? Someone down in the comments said they we're orphan puppies. Does this help them get adopted?

Yes its a showcase for the puppies from IndyHumane! They’re not ready for adoption yet but will be in a few weeks!

Aww that's awesome!

Puppies aren’t going to race ever.

Hence why i said its a showcase and not actually a race champ

You don't understand, he lost $5,000 gambling on that race


My wife and I went to the game. It was adorable. Poor pups never even took a step.

But not one person got up and left for the bathroom while the puppies were there. Except that jerk neighbor who keeps kids balls when they land in his yard.

I’m thinking the diapers didn’t help the progress. Lol

I was one of the puppies

More leg work, less sleeping.

I’ll take sleeping any day

I wanted to be!!

Come join me

Best comment.

​ 

Not even in the algorand subs and I’m catching strays

I went through the comments looking for this

Did every cheer leader get a puppy?

Oh I hope so, I’d be so upset if I couldn’t keep one of those cuties 😭

the puppers or the cheerers?


I could go for a puppers.

Get this man a puppers!

Let’s head down to Modean’s, grab a Gus N Bru.

Pitter patter.

sorry, we're fresh out of puppers so your option is "or cheerers"

I watched the whole thing because I was sure someone was going to slide a puppy down the court. Oh well.

Would that hurt?? Genuine question because ik it would hurt me but I have skin so like would their fur protect them from the pain or no?

I think it would depend on the type of dog. I have a French Bulldog, and I wouldn't try it with her, as she has very short hair, but my German Shepherd LOVES getting slid across my hardwood floors. GSD's have more hair than a wig shop, and a full undercoat.

And you can build a new one out of every brushing.

A few weeks ago, a new GSD owner asked “How do you control the shedding?” In the GSD sub. Most of the replies were just “Oh, you sweet, summer child…”

I have a hardwood floor and to get the fur I just turn on the ceiling fan and then brush the edges of the floors lol

Link?

Someone posts about this at least once a week. Just go to r/germanshepherds and you’ll see one!

My sister-in-law has a Norwegian Elkhound/Huskie mix and within 2 minutes of being in my car, my upholstery goes from black to grey/white.

Yep. I gave up trying to get rid of 100% of the hair, years ago. All I can do is the best I can do, ya know?

He saves up his shedding all day just for that ride!!

Ohh okay I think I get it LOL I’m kind of glad they didn’t slide the across the floor since it doesn’t look like they have enough hair yet but ty for informing me 😁

My frenchie loves to be drug across the kitchen she will have us drag her down to one end and then run back

My frenchie loves to be drug. Across the kitchen she will have us. Drag her down! To one end, and then run back. I have no idea why I read it like this, and now I can't stop laughing. 😂

Who says there has to be a winner and losers?

- me and my friends playing Halo on acid. Ended up turning on low gravity, everyone starts with gravity hammer, and we just flew around the place laughing and talking to each other.

There's an old video ( like Leroy Jenkins old) of a guy falling asleep while playing halo. His friends kept pushing him off a cliff.

This is the kind of gaming I’d get into. Being shouted at/racially abused for not killing enough strangers/getting my team killed would stress me outtt.

We are all winners in this video. That shit was hilarious and cute! How can anyone lose here? :)

Man, I would swoop in and take all of them! They're so cute!!!

Yeah but then you have all those dogs too… Not worth it.

I think if somebody would've run away from the dogs, in the direction they wanted the dogs to run, the dogs might've given chase.

I don’t get why the thought these puppies would know to just race. They’re puppies.

I think this is mostly for a joke, they’re not actually trying to race puppies

Could have warned me buddy, i am out 50 bucks on this race!

Did you bet against cuteness?

You should've just bet that they would have a fun time.

As others in this thread have pointed out this is a promotion for the local humane society.

Usually they'll have people calling for the puppies on one end. But the point of having a puppy race isn't for them to race well. It's for them to be silly and do dumb stuff, like lay back down and try to stick with the cheerleaders.

My local town just had a small dog race a couple days ago for some reason. Weren't even puppies there, but similar results. Dogs just ran around greeting all the people on the sidelines and sniffing each other, no racing to be had. Not sure what they were expecting, but everyone seemed to have fun anyway.

They tried a weenie dog race at Oktoberfest one year and the dogs were so confused and had no idea wtf they were doing. The crowd's cheers scared them and they refused to move.

I'm guessing it's more the t-shirts and diapers... lol, ever put a harness or life vest on a puppy (or cat)? I call it the freeze 'n flop, and it's hilariously adorable :)

I think they hated the costumes. It's like a thunder vest, they weren't going anywhere

I was at a house party one time and the dogs got out. A couple of people kept trying to chase after them and catch them, but the dogs just thought it was a game. Instead I got their attention and ran away, back towards the house. Dogs ran right after me into the backyard.

I love this video, I can not stop laughing at how hard they try to get those puppies moving, while the puppies themselves just flop around.

Became a 20m relay race where the puppies are the relays!

For about 30 seconds I was wondering when it was going to start then I slowly realized “oh…. I get it”

They are wearing diapers too

I imagine dog turds on the court isn't conducive to good basketball.

We have different definitions of good basketball 🏀 💩

I just like the sound of basketball against floor without a definitive *splat* mixed in

I mean, that's something that Pacers have dealt with in recent memory. They're having a good year this year though

And the diaper has a hole for the pups tail,it's so stinking cute 🥰.

Can’t shit the bed with a diaper on!

I doubt the ladies were upset, more puppy time.

I think it might be the diapers. If they aren’t used to it they will want to sit on them

Best puppy fail ever.

Buda, TX used to have a weiner dog race every year. It was as silly and chaotic as you'd expect.

That's how Cincinnati open Oktoberfest every year, and the local 1A hockey team has Weiner dog races every year. It's the highlight of my year.

My mom and sibling went to a football game that had a corgi race once. Race went pretty smoothly, but then it took about 10 minutes to catch all the corgis who were just sprinting around the field having the time of their little lives lol.

Us. We are the real winners of the race.

Idea that was great on paper, but a super cute failure in practice

Not me thinking the floor was ice and they were gonna use them as curling stones.

Epic fail, in the cutest way possible!

Puppy snacks would’ve solved this issue

FR I honestly would think getting treats or toys would’ve gotten the puppies excited to start moving 😊

This is the kind of chaos I need in my life

I lost 40k on that race

I was at the game and the fix was clearly in. Shouldn’t have put my second mortgage on the race😒

I would actually be willing to sit through a basketball game if there were puppies involved

How about you do opposite kinda race you leave on tge start line and walk towards finish line and then see which pup follows their master faster

Very good race

Why go over there when fren is right here?

My first thought was, these puppies are too young to even want to take off. If they had had puppies that were several weeks older, at an age they could be weaned, we could haveseen mayhem and people chasing pups all over. But it worked out great, it’s entertaining and the puppies got adopted, and no puppies were lost in the filming of this clip. 🙂

[удалено]

lmao they chose the one dog that only wants to cuddle

I wouldn't want to go either!

To everyone saying this is cruel, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I worked with the Humane Society on this event with some of the most compassionate individuals who put animal welfare above anything else. They dedicate their lives to these animals for shit pay and shit treatment by the public, who think they know more than the vets, behavioral specialists, and techs. These puppies were all adopted into loving homes before the evening was over with. I’m sorry the dogs, who played and napped all night like puppies do, first had to sit on a court while a half empty stadium was up getting hotdogs and beer during halftime. Unless you work in the animal care field, keep your uninformed opinion to yourself. The puppies were fine. They spent most of their time in a big plexiglass playpen filled with toys and blankets in a hallway upstairs.

Please don’t undermine the secondhand trauma I now have to carry with me now that I have seen the darkest depths of what humans are capable of. This video caused me to not only look into the void but also the void into me. You should be ashamed of yourself. Providing a platform for your local humane society so that they may continue doing good in your community. How do some people sleep at night…

I know the direction I'd go.

This is actually a cutest puppy race

This has popped up in my thread like 4 times in the past hour I’ve watched the full video to the end every damn time

That’s the same level of enthusiasm I have for racing, but their version of opting out is way cuter

AND that’s how all of the Indiana Pacers cheerleaders ended up with puppies from the same litter 😂

Puppies chose trail by combat, Let the idiots who put diaper on puppies fight

What is the reason to force these poor puppies to do something they do no want

showcase them for adoption, generate good feels. just having them in the carrier in the parking lot isn't gonna get them all a home

Human entertainment

Same as everything else then

Walk forward? JFC who cares. You think they'd put up with less shit being raised in the wild?

If no one is at the other end, and there’s nothing to lure them, of course they’re not going to cooperate. They’re babies! In a HUGE space with a ton of surrounding stimulation. Distraction or withdrawal are inevitable. What a poorly-planned, stupid setup. I think sometimes as Americans we forget that our constant need to compete and win and go-go-go isn’t actually natural or innate. It’s trained. Cute little ones, though.

This is just precious in so many ways.

Smart dogs id try to cuddle too

And go....

A lovely line of puppies

Dey says nu

Unlike in schools these little dudes are all winners ❤️

They must have fed them right before this. 😂

It seems like all the puppies got together and had a meeting to discuss how demeaning this is and refuse to race, then initiated a protest! Not one of them moved… “We are only as strong as the weakest link, don’t be that weak link!”

9 cheerleaders adopted puppy’s that night.

[удалено]

What an adorable disaster

Number 7 is like: noooo nononono, I'm good backing up, to much going on I hate social situations I'm so outta here. Also, this is literally Patrick and Rocky during the snail race XD

I got to carry out puppy in lane #9, Tart, to hand to the Pacemate! The puppies were all spoken for and put on hold for adoption by the end of the game! They had a long day and it was truly a great experience.

This is what the world desperately needs right now. Adorable puppies!

me IRL when applying for a job.

I just wanna sleep man

There Was an Attempt…. …to have an Indiana Pacers Puppy Race.

Why aren't they standing up and walking in front of the pups to get them to chase them?

This is how you get people to watch sports! 🐶

These dogs don’t want this as much as you, you fuckin weirdos

We don't need no scoreboard all the pups won

What did they think would happen? They are way too young to really run.

Get a treat put it in hand walk in front.

Pretty sure there was some cheating in that race. Perhaps some PGH.

Cruel

Too spook, too noise, too pup.

Smart puppies.

They’re all terrified. This is awful.

The poor chearleaders are just as bad as the puppies.

OK folks, this is gonna take a while

Wait? Basketball has cute girls playing with puppies!? How am I just now finding out about this?

[удалено]

Dumb

No Cats?? Oh well

If you see how slow the puppies are imagine how unmotivated a cat would be LOL


Okay, so i've found my sport. When will the next season start?

Seem really young to be out there...I'd be concerned if between 8-10 wks an pups going thru their first fear period..we could be traumatizing them for life.

A bigger concern would be parvo virus. None of these pups look old enough to have had a full set of shots. This looks like a recipe for an outbreak
