Boy could not be more terrified of this tiny dog

What’s beautiful about mankind and the Internet age is that once you see the other corners, you realize how similar and human we all really are. Case in point: this video labeled “Любовь с первого взгляда,” which means “love at first sight” in Russian, of a boy in a yard being terrified of even the most friendly and diminutive of dogs.

Some kids don’t have a handle on dogs and it takes a while for them to shake their unease and fear. In this case the boy looks a pinch too old to harbor that level of terror; because of that, the world may comfortably unite in laughing at this unique child—trusting he’ll grow out of this phase soon enough.
