“When you descended from wolves but now you're afraid of lizards,” reads a text insert on the video. It goes on to show the dog reacting to a lizard on a fence. The doggo is seen running towards the fence, then away from it towards his human and then back towards the fence in response to the lizard.

“That’s a solid no,” reads the caption shared along with the video posted on an Instagram page called goldengirl_xena. What makes the video even more adorable is the soundtrack added as its background.
