Shattering stereotypes
This adorable Dobermann is certainly challenging people's perceptions of the breed!
In a hilarious video, Cowboy the Dobermann's owners wrote: ”My dog is afraid of nothing. Except... stairs, hats, Christmas decorations, sneezes, balloons and his own farts!”
Cowboy's long list of fears sometimes leads to some rather unusual situations. His owners have to carry him up the stairs to get home and even reassure him when he sees an inflatable Santa Claus, as you can see in the video below.
Clearly, Cowboy is far from a brave pooch, and it's doubtful he'd make the perfect guard dog. But when it comes to making us laugh, he's number one!
Surprising stories
Viewers were quick to share similar stories about their own dogs:
”When our rabbit comes up behind my German Shepherd, I have to sit with her until she physically stops shaking.”
”My 93-pound Pit Bull is afraid of cardboard boxes, guitars, rain, balloons and wind chimes.”
”My dog is afraid of her own bark: it makes her run and hide.”
We couldn't help but laugh reading these comments. What about you?
