This is the most pathetic aspect imo. He's such an unlikable shithead that some PR handler probably said to him, "Yeah, get an old dog to lay on his dogbed while you stream. Everyone loves dogs! (And hopefully it'll trick some people into believing you're an actual human being rather than the turk pos you really are.)"
The fact that he couldn't even find some old dog who just wants to lay around all day near his master while he talks to his dumb fans tells me he's a horrible cunt. Dog's can sniff that out, that's why they want nothing to do with him. He has to torture it with electricity in order to force compliance.
The most retarded part of your example is that if he actually let Kaya roam and he was a loving owner, she'd actually want to be near him. Sure, she wouldn't be in frame constantly but he could have TWO dog beds in his room. One where the cot is behind his right shoulder (stream feed left) and one behind his left shoulder, in the area where he'd have a christmas tree during christmas. If he invested in two GOOD dog beds, she could roam around in the background, get a drink of water occasionally and maybe even lie on the floor next to him.
Dogs love to be near their masters, especially if you shower them with praise. Hasan could never.
Like, who cares if she's on stream for even 50% of the time he's live. She's a living, breathing, thinking creature. She's a young adult dog, too. I'd be willing to bet Tibetan Mastiffs stop maturing around 3-4 years old instead of the usual 2-3 because she's a BIG dog. It's not good for her physical status to lie in place for 8 hours straight. Imagine for a second, Hasan Piker has a normal 9-17 job. He's away from Kaya, she's alone in an average, regular american apartment. If he cared for her by giving her a solid walk before leaving for work, she's be chilling and sleeping in her favourite spots until he came home. Another solid walk after coming back home, give her some food and go grab a shower. Normal ass routine that fits majority of dogs regardless of the size.
Hasan loves working out, he could start running and take Kaya with him on a hands-free waist leash, it'd be good for the both of them.
Of course, we don't live in the land of PetiteFeet's make-believe, so he'll continue to throw money at the problem in the worst way possible and let his mom deal with the fallout when Kaya isn't needed.
Personally it doesn't bother me that he bought a dog from a breeder, or even lied about finding it for free because some of those animal lovers get really fucking annoying about "adopt don't shop!!1" (though I agree with it, some people take it personally and take it ttoo far, especially with breeders that do breed correctly)
The thing that gets me is why get a fucking huge Mastiff if you're just going to force it to lay down!? They're what I call a "horse dog" because of how big it is. I just don't get getting a dog that's that huge and then just keeping it in a kennel or inside all day. That's mean.
If he HAD to get a specific breed, a golden retriever wouldve suffice, and they're decently easy to train and are much more adaptable. And cuter than a Tibetan mastiff imho.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I definitely think that he got a Tibetan mastiff specifically so he can come off as a supporter of Tibet. Wouldn't put it past him. Lol
If he got a "normal" breed like a golden retriever, he would find it a much more agreeable dog than a mastiff. There's a reason goldens and labradors are so highly ranked on popular dog breeds - they're easy to train, good natured in the vast majority of cases and they're not subject to a heap of health problems that a gigantic dog breed is. Not saying they're the perfect dog breeds, far from it, but for Hasan's needs they'd fit perfectly.
