Below, Bored Panda has put together a list of funny dogs that are afraid of the most bizarre things. From lemons to foam to even the kitchen floor - expect to see some really nervous dogs! Keep on scrolling to check out the funny photos, and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Erica 8 years ago
Once my family were driving to our beach holiday (a 4-5 hour drive) and my dog, Aggie, was on the floor of the car in front of my feet in the back seats in her bed when suddenly she leapt out of her bed and onto my lap. I thought she'd stop there but she continued to climb, up my shoulder and onto the little shelf thing that separates the roof from the main part of the car. Turns out she was too close to the wheels of the car (go round and round 😂 ) and so whenever they moved the friction of the rubber against the road sent an electric shot into the car and since Aggie was on the floor she was electric shot.

Then there may be an anxiety problem there, or insecurity. You should talk to a vet or behaviourist, as frequent fear can generate problems
