Sometimes you have to look at your fears from a different perspective in order to overcome them.
This shy golden retriever is a little bit spooked at the prospect of walking onto the living room carpet from the hardwood floors. This is understandable because carpets can be scary — who KNOWS the last time they were vacuumed?
This pup is no dunce, though, and figures out an effective way to overcome his fear: by walking backwards, obviously. Because if you can't see the carpet, then it can't attack you.
