Strangers On The Internet Share The Stories Of Their Dogs’ Most “Ridiculous Fears”

We all have irrational fears. Unfortunately for our pets, they are unable to even try and explain them to us. Instead, we’re left to figure out the cause ourselves. Alternatively, we can accept that we’ll never understand and act accordingly. Oh, and have a good laugh about it. You can’t forget about that part. A woman named Chelsay was curious about the “ridiculous fears” of other dogs, so she took to social media for answers.

Luckily, her post got even more attention than she could have hoped for. To get the conversation started, however, Chelsay first shared a ridiculous fear her own dog has: He’s afraid of a painting, as seen below.

Is there something Chelsay’s dog finds scary about the painting? Or is he simply that offended by the art style? Who knows! Either way, this is just the start of some of the most hilarious fears. Next up, there’s a Great Dane who might be Nicolas Cage’s biggest hater.

Hmm, I don’t know. First the painting and now an actor — I’m starting to think these dogs may be harsh critics. Then again, I don’t think that could even begin to explain why the golden retriever below has this unique fear:

So far, these irrational fears stem from a visual. But not with Alexis’ Husky! He has a huge fear of a certain sound. And no, it’s not fireworks. Honestly, I’d be shocked if you could guess. In fact, I invite you to try right now!

The holiday season is considered by many to be the best time of the year! Maddie’s dog, on the contrary, could not disagree more. Oh, and then there are the tulips. The tulips simply must be included.

Oh, how delightful it would be to speak with these animals. I can only imagine what their reasonings would be behind these ridiculous fears. Then again, like many humans, maybe the answer would simply be: “I have no idea!” And you know what? Valid!
