Many of us have been spooked by the menacing Star Wars villain Darth Vader. And now we have the cutest dog joining us in our collective fear for the iconic character. In a video shared by former American basketball player Rex Chapman, an adorable Golden Retriever is comfortably sitting on the couch watching a Star Wars film. It is all good until Darth Vader appears on the screen. The visibly scared pooch immediately climbs out of the couch and hides behind it, continuing to watch the movie from there.
Rex Chapman captioned the clip, "Good boy is seeing Darth Vader for the first time..."

Smart dog. I only wish I'd thought of hiding behind the couch when I first met him. https://t.co/oi7XtNy8lA

"My dog, who just happens to be named Emperor Pupatine, has no problem with Darth Vader... but he does not like Yoda at all," said another.

I'm fascinated by dogs who watch TV. Mine could care less. I showed him some birds, cats, squirrels, other dogs on mine and he looked at me like "put me down, heffa".
