Turns out, dogs are really spooked by those face masks you love so much

Easy, boy.

Beauty fanatics love a good face mask, but we have to admit, they do look kind of weird and scary once they're on.

Imagine what your poor pup must think when he sees you with one on? Suddenly their precious, loving owner they try so dearly to protect has turned into a spooky mud monster.

Twitter user jiana's cute doggy, Jake, looks as innocent as innocent gets.

But once he sees Jiana with one of those face masks on, he throws his fists up, looking for a fight. His adorable demeanor quickly turns, well, aggressive to say the least.

OMG, Jake! It's just a mask.

Turns out, other pups had the same reaction as Jake, so other skincare lovers and Twitter users commiserated by posting their own dogs freaking out over the masks.

But we're not afraid of Jake just because he got a little spooked. Most of the time he's just singing and cuddling, being a cutie.

Face masks, beware. These pups are coming for you.
