I would not let that doggy that close. Seems like there are some strong forces at play. If the dog gets stuck under the forest floor when it goes down it might not end well

I wouldn’t get close or stand on it myself… I don’t feel like getting pinned by a fallen tree.

Odd that those trees don’t have roots that go deeper

Many conifers don’t root downwards, but sideways instead. That is one of the reasons why storms hit monoculture forests so hard. The root network is just to shallow to withstand strong winds.
