This story takes us to Nashville, USA. In a video shared on TikTok, Mabel and Piper, two 18-month-old Pitbulls, were terrified by something utterly mundane.
As you'll see in the clip, the two big dogs were scared of... a plastic bag.
A viral moment
As their owner, Kylie, explains, she initially thought something serious was happening.
As she got closer, she discovered the source of all the barking. In the video, the dogs can be seen keeping their distance with their hackles raised, apparently convinced the bag was a threat.
Big softies at heart
The almost surreal scene quickly won over the internet, racking up over 600,000 views and tens of thousands of likes. Comments ranged from amusement to affection for these dogs, described as the "biggest babies" despite their impressive size.
