Dogs get scared of the most random things, which may or may not include lizards and other creepy-crawlies. Then, there’s the possibility of you frightening them by simply wearing a helmet, a face mask, or even a raincoat. But this adorable dog video showed a Golden Retriever, who fears the most unlikely object: power cords. The clip documented the furry girl struggling to take a leap of faith over the cord to cross over to the other side, making it a complete knee-slapper.
Instagram video shows how Golden Retriever overcomes her fear of power cords
If you’re a pet owner, you’re aware that dogs can be friendly, patient, confident, and outgoing. But it’s also true that even a minor inconvenience can set them off. For instance, a video of Magic, a Golden Retriever, showed the dog grappling with fear of power cords as she struggled to walk across one. Our furry babies have an endless list of things that terrify them, and long wires are one of them. So, dog parents, kindly take notes!
The subtext in the video joked, “There’s no anxiety like ‘Golden Retriever blocked by a power cord’ anxiety.” Meanwhile, the post showed Magic hesitantly approaching her dog mom on the other side of the source of her deeply rooted fears. She came closer but remained unsure about crossing it as the clip progressed and her owner’s support increased. “Can you do it? Can you be so brave?” the voice behind the camera told the pooch as she tried to duck underneath but stopped.
After multiple attempts and reassurance from her mom, the Golden Retriever stomped on the wooden floor, looking eager to overcome her fears. But can she finally do it? The clip then showed Magic barking as she stepped forward, but she ended up retreating to her original spot. The canine wagged her tail with joy and zeal as her owner hyped her. “Yes, someone. Be so brave,” the dog mom told Magic, who finally moved forward, one step at a time, and over the power cord.
The dog appeared overcome with excitement and enthusiasm to not only have faced her fears head-on but also conquered them. She didn’t falter or trip on the way, making it a successful feat, and deserved a great deal of applause and celebrations.
