A tenacious pug named Kjelle took on a mini excavator that was invading his territory at a home in Växjö, Sweden.

In the video, the pug can be seen barking wildly at a mini excavator as it scoops up turf.

Even though the excavator is much bigger than the pug, Kjelle isn’t intimidated at all and actually ventures quite close to it at times.

“My pug Kjelle hates big machines, and when a big one shows up in his yard, he goes crazy!” the filmer said.
