Some dogs are goofy, others are quiet and regal. Some dogs are courageous, and others... not so much. A video going massively viral on TikTok shows a dog that could fall in either category, depending on which way you look at him. While this doggy definitely lets his rivals know who is the boss by barking loudly - he does so from behind the safety of his human's leg.
Hey, you can never be too careful, right?
Footage of the hilarious dog 'fight' was posted on TikTok by a Japanese user who goes by the name '@nerodice' on the video sharing platform. The video begins by showing three dogs barking and growling at each other, with one of them wearing a leash and being restrained by its owner. The camera soon shifts to show another 'brave' little dog - a Shiba Inu - participating in the shouting match while clinging to his owner's leg.
The Shiba Inu is a Japanese breed of hunting dog known for its boldness. Maybe this one didn't get the memo, for he was seen holding onto his human for dear life, giving the Internet a video that has left millions in stitches.

"Who said I'm scared? No I'm not scared! My hooman just wont let me join the fight so..." a TikTok user quipped.
