“My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.” – Elayne Boosler
Halloween might be over, but not for these fur babies. A specter is still haunting them, giving them creeps night and day, whether it’s their favorite human, a sibling, or an unknown entity. Thus, without further ado, let us channel our inner Scooby-Doo and unlock the mystery shrouding these dogs. Here are 50 images caught at perfect moment as our big fur friends face their strange fears.
1. Marketing is my least favorite topic
Whatever he read in that book entitled “Marketing Performance” must be really scary that made this dog want to camouflage with the sofa. I mean, I feel ya, bud. If I also read a book about calculus and physics I’d do the same. Numbers scare me!

2. Good acting begets free lift
In case you don’t know, dogs are also good actors. This dog here feigned fear, either over the green fields or that innocent tree behind them. Either way he got a free bridal carry in return. It clearly shows on that smug look on his face, “Heh! I fooled this human!”

3. Do not assume otherwise given
“Yes human thank you so much for the birthday surprise, I really appreciate it. Oh crown knuckle, thank you for the gi… wait this is your gift? Not the chew toy with red ribbon on top? Oh cwap! I might have opened the wrong gift last night.”

4. Spiderman isn’t cool
This adorable Dalmatian isn’t friends with spiders. So when he saw one he quickly jumped on top of her mom. “Karen, I swear there’s a spider beneath the sofa. Stop laughing I’m serious. No that vacuum isn’t doing the trick. Use a missile instead.”

5. A ghost in broad daylight
Whatever this dog saw will remain a mystery to us. But one thing is for sure, it’s so scary it made his eyes almost pop out of his sockets in utter shock. “Holy cow! Was that a ghost I’ve just seen?”

6. Goosebumps over cold water
This dog here isn’t in the mood for bath because the water is cold. So he decided to hide behind the garden hose. “No human, please, not today. It’s too cold for bath. Have mercyyy!”

7. Spooky snail
Big boy over here wasn’t too shy to ask his human to carry him after he saw a snail casually strolling in the store. “Don’t let go of me, Dad. Or else that snail behind you will maul me. His size is terrifying.”

8. Toy story
Humans aren’t the only ones scared of rats. Even our fur friends are terrified of them. This rat toy is enough to make this doggo float midair out of fear.

9. A stranger in the house
Bringing visitors over without proper introduction to our dogs will sometimes raise misunderstanding. In this picture, it eventually led this mighty Doberman to climb above the cupboard while scrutinizing the new guy. “Who is this human? Why is he staring at me? Is he here to abduct me?”

10. Woof meets Meow
Golden retrievers are known to be confident and friendly. But that’s not the case in this picture when the dog saw his kitten sibling. “Who is this newbie? Why is he saying meow instead of woof? He’s not a creature of this planet. I must hide under this table for safety.”

11. Doggo vs. Technology
In this picture, you can see a pup trying to squeeze his way behind the dishwasher after he saw a Roomba. “What’s this abomination?! It keeps following me everywhere. It’s trying to kill me I swear. Somebody call 911.”

12. Small but terrible
Despite their small size, these kittens scared the living daylights out of this dog. To the point that he felt the need to run when he got surrounded by his feline siblings. Some say he hasn’t left that chair until now.

13. Gentle giant
Who said big guys don’t feel fear? This big doggo is so frightened he wants to hide behind the seat. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons he can’t. Hence he opted to cling onto the armrest for his dear life.

14. Daddy saves the day
When we were kids, we usually run to our dads when we were scared. Same goes to this big fella while he’s screaming in fear. Don’t worry, buddy, daddy is here to protect you.

15. Bird and dogs don’t flock together
It must have been the green feather, or the pointed beak that scared this adorable pup at the back of his seat. “I have to get my chew toy back. Looks behind, oh no he’s still here. What to do.”

16. The mysterious black box
In this picture, you can see this pooch examining these two black boxes in front of her. “What are these and why are they blocking my way?” The idea of her being trapped in that room forever made her freeze on her tracks.

17. The monster in the red shed
This dog must have seen great horror that made him hide behind the shed. “Human, stop taking picture and get your tail behind me! There’s a monster out there.”

18. Hide and seek
Dogs are mischievous by nature. This corgi must have played with one of his mom’s shoes again, leaving some bite holes or scratches. Hence thought it’s a good idea to hide in the shoe rack in case her mom finds out about his mischief.

19. Doggo vs. Technology v2.0

20. Little monster
Some of us are scared of babies no matter how cute they are. In this picture, fear is evident in the dog’s face when he met this pup. “No don’t let that puppy come near me, Karen don’t. Look at those fangs. He’ll bite me. Nooo!”

21. Cat of terror
The cat has been terrorizing our friendly dog over here. Our friendly mutt chose to hide behind the door and decided to take a peek if the enemy is still there. That was his biggest mistake. “Oh no he saw me. He’s watching over me. My days are now numbered.”

22. Don’t look behind you
While this pooch was playing with his toys, he saw an unknown entity run on the hallway. After realizing it’s just him and his favorite human at home, shivers run down his spine. Rumors say until now he was unable to move out of fear.

23. Pool monster
Doggo was enjoying the pool earlier when he saw something move underwater. “What the woof was that? I swear I was alone in the pool. I must not go back in there. It’s woofing scary.”

24. Eerie walk in the neighborhood
This pup thought to himself “not today” and hid under a shelf. “I know what I saw yesterday. I won’t go back to that place anymore.” To be honest he’s just being lazy today.

25. Halloween movie marathon
Watching The Conjuring 1 and 2 has petrified this Golden Retriever immensely. Good thing his human sibling is here to comfort him. “Big sis, I’m scared. Valak is really creepy.”

26. The dog, the bridge, and the river
Big boy is too scared to cross the bridge. His human mom is struggling to carry him. I mean I get his point though, what if the bridge collapses? Or he gets blown by the wind? The possibilities are endless.

27. Toy story: to infinity and beyond
In this picture, we can see another dog scared to death by a toy. This time it’s a corgi against a yellow lamb. Pup said, “What the woof? Did this thing just did a somersault? Aaaagh!”

28. The scary truth
“Human, I saw Karen, the pitbull next door, talking to Max the corgi while he’s sniffing her butt. They look so sweet together. What if she chooses Max over me? The truth scares me I’ll hide under this mattress for now.”
29. Photogenic dog poses in a scary photoshoot
Being scared didn’t stop this pooch from striking a good pose. With her adorable puppy eyes, she proves how photogenic she is while posing for her human. “I’m actually scared that’s why I’m hiding under your covers, but okay for now let’s take a pic.”
30. Pup vs. Bath
Many things scare our fur friends. One of them is probably shower time. Hence our doggo here decided to bury himself under a towel thinking it’s a good cover.
31. What the woof?!
They’ve decided to watch a movie. The scene shows a woman in a white dress, covered in blood, walking aimlessly. Then she passed through the wall. Not believing his eyes, this dog said “What the woof?!”
32. The elongated cat
No, this cat is not a figment of your imagination. Yet this dog believes so as stopped dead on his tracks seeing the cat jump, with his body elongated in a creepy way. It was just captured in a wrong timing.
33. Is the monster still there woof?
Dogs see things that humans can’t, or so they think. In this picture, a dog can be seen hiding behind a big tree peeking his head to look at something. He must have seen a monster, or a cat whichever is scarier.
34. Acrophobia
Acrophobia is the irrational fear of heights. Unfortunately for this pup he suffers the same condition. “Put me down, human. I’m so high up here. Aaagh put me down or I’ll kick you in the face.”
35. Pug life
Just when you thought pugs won’t look cuter and more adorable, you’re wrong. Even though this pug is scared for whatever reasons, he still looks so cute with those puppy eyes and puppy pout. His eyebrows scrunched in a frown, aww!
36. Dogs and birds won’t flock together, part 2
“What kind of creature is this? She looks like a harpy. Oh no I’m in danger.” To this day, doggo is still wary of the feathered fella.
37. Unamused pup
His human parents must have thought it’s a good idea to have lobsters as toys. “You think I’m happy, Karen? Lobsters, really? What if their pinchers caught my legs and impale me?”
38. If I don’t see them, they won’t see me either
Or so this dog thought as he buried himself inside a shelf full of canned goods. “Those monsters can’t follow me here. These canned goods will protect me.” Hmm yeah buddy, sure.
39. Scared mini Chewbacca
This little pup may look like Chewbacca, but he doesn’t quite have the Wookie’s bravery. But on the other hand, Chewie never had to face anything as scary as the vet’s office!
40. Unidentified woofing object
“Human have you seen that? There’s a big flying saucer in front of us just right now! I swear I even saw baby Yoda doing a TikTok video.”
41. Doggo-saurus rex
Nope, this is not a dinosaur. This is a scared dog. Guess he watched too much horror movies with his human parents he ran to his room and hid behind his blanket. Someone will have nightmares tonight.
42. Carrot-loving giant
This pooch can’t believe his eyes. His daddy is feeding a giant in front of him. A carrot-eating giant at that. “Dad, don’t you think we should run?”
43. We’re having a new baby
This news will shock and scare any kid. In this case, a dog. “I won’t be the apple of their eyes anymore. I will be forsaken, left on the streets to fend for myself without a family. I will starve to death.”
44. The night is young and full of terrors
And for this dog, the night is more terrorizing because his humans decided to watch a horror movie. Now he is trying to find comfort behind layers of pillows and blanket. Someone will have nightmares again.
45. Terror cat invasion
The blanket was originally owned by the dog. However when the cat arrived, everything has changed. In the end the dog succumb to defeat. He’s like “Don’t worry about me, I am not cold. The cold doesn’t bother me anyway. But this cat does.”
46. When your dog tries to give you a warning…
“Human, believe me, that cat is trying to rule over us. If you value our lives let’s run away to North Pole. Huh? What do you mean he’s watching behind me?”
47. Triple threat
In this picture, we can see a dog staring at the door out of boredom. A cat screaming in fear as he saw the dog’s ugly face. And lastly, a dog in the paw-printed carpet frozen in place of what he just witnessed.
48. Ghost in white
This dog swears he saw a ghost in this area. A girl wearing a long white dress. Who wants to tell him it’s just the long white curtain messing his imagination?
49. A purring threat
We feel the most vulnerable when we are asleep. The same goes to this dog as a cat is attempting to do something bad to him. Let’s just hope he survives the day with a threat around.
50. Safe under the sofa
Whatever scared this pup must be really terrible to make him hide under the sofa. “I’ll just pretend I haven’t seen anything and hide here. You going to protect from monsters, right human?”
Even our fur friends feel fear. So make sure to comfort them today and give them a bone-breaking hug and lots of smooches to keep the monsters at bay.
