People and animals face their fears in all sorts of different ways but the most common advice that’s often given is to go head first and stare whatever it may be that you’re afraid of right in the eye. If you have a fear of heights, go to somewhere high enough that makes you feel uncomfortable and look down. If you have a fear of tight spaces, jam yourself into one and deal with the emotions that wash over you. While this all may be very sage advice in theory, it doesn’t work for everyone in reality.
That’s why people choose to go a different route and instead turn to alternative ways in which they can try to stand up to their fears. Some try to conquer them through meditation, hypnosis, therapy, or in any other way they can think of, and if you can find a way to get past personal fears it should be considered a huge success.
When it’s all said and done, lots of people like to say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” That’s the kind of attitude you should adopt not only after, but also before, you conquer your inner demons and fears. Or you could take a page out of this dog’s book, and watch what he does in the video to do just that!
The adorable Bulldog is named Bentley and he has a very unique way of facing his fear of crossing cables. In this instance, the cable happens to be a yellow electrical cord that’s snaked across the hallway. He needs to get by the darn thing so he can go outside, but the sight of the cord clearly makes him nervous as it slows him down and draws his attention straight towards it.
You can literally see him thinking as he sizes up what to do about the cord and his big wrinkly head moves back and forth from side to side. Then, when he finally makes his move, it’s hilarious! Bentley gathers up all the courage and strength from deep within himself, turns his body around a full 180 degrees, and backs up rear-end first over the cord.
He doesn’t stop for one moment or let the scary cord out of his sight as he backs down the hall the rest of the way to the door. The experience didn’t kill him so he must be stronger from it and he managed to successfully face his fears in the cutest, most comical way possible. What an awesomely clever dog and more power to him!
Enjoy the hilariousness below!
