A greyhound was filmed with its tail between its legs, as balloons seemed to stir a fear in him, footage shared to TikTok on September 5 shows.

The video, recorded by owner Elizabeth Hasier, shows Paul the greyhound sheepishly walking as far away as possible from the colorful balloons. Hasier uploaded the hilarious footage to the canine’s TikTok account with the caption “new fear unlocked.”

Paul, whose adventures are regularly shared on his Instagram page can be seen running into another room while Hasier keeps repeating: “It’s ok, Paul. It’s ok, buddy.”

The greyhound, however, doesn’t seem too reassured by these words and ends up standing on the bed, at a safe distance from the balloons. Credit: Elizabeth Hasier via Storyful
