This seemingly terrifying video shows the moment a brave dog decided to confront his deepest and darkest fears.

In the clip, Hank can be seen reluctantly edging towards a mysterious force, and as the foreboding horror movie music combines with the darkened atmosphere, it’s pretty clear that there’s something pretty sinister in store.

And then the danger becomes clear – it’s some kind of conical orange monster.

Ok – it’s a traffic cone, and it isn’t terrifying for us humans.
But it’s totally understandable why a dog like Hank would be confused – a cone is a pretty weird looking object if we’re being honest.

LOOK AT HIS TERRIFIED FACE.
