A golden retriever called Banks has melted hearts on social media after his owner shared a list of all the things that scare him in a clip that quickly went viral.

The heart-warming video, shared on Instagram in June, under the username @itsmemrbanks, shows the pup barking and hiding at the sight of everything listed in the clip, especially the last item, which made him run off.

"Things my golden retriever Banks is scared of," the text on the video reads, "cocorobots, tarps, frogs, boxes, Halloween decorations, crawdads, feather duster," the text continues as it shows the pup's reaction to each single thing. "With new fears being unlocked daily, saved the best for last," reads a caption shared along with the viral post.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) says that golden retrievers tend to experience a much longer exuberant phase than other dog breeds; it means that they mature slowly and can be playful and downright silly well into adulthood.

Besides some shenanigans here and there, goldens are a very hardworking breed. They are used for everything from hunting to search and rescue, and they also make exceptional service and therapy dogs.

These pups also need lots of exercise during the day, anything from a game of fetch, to hiking, swimming, or other any other form of exercise. They are great athletes who thrive at a variety of sports.
