In life, one has to be scared of something. No matter how energetic or powerful you are, someone often has something he or she is scared of that others might term as 'flimsy.' Personally, I won't go anywhere near frogs, but luckily for me, we are not here to talk about me.

For West Ham United's winger, Maxwel Cornet, dogs seemingly scare the hell out of him, if a video doing rounds on social media is anything to go by.

Cornet was filmed running for his life as a dog pursued him outside West Ham training ground. In the video uploaded by his teammate Thilo Kehrer, Cornet seemed to keep a safe distance from the rest of the group, who were in the company of a grey big hound.

As dogs often are, it quickly took cognizance of Cornet's fear and decided to put his sprinting skills to test. The dog, named Shadow, took full advantage that it wasn't leashed and went after Cornet.

Requiring no second invitation to save himself, Cornet dashed towards the door as his teammates burst into a fit of laughter. As soon as he reached the door, Shadow seemingly changed his intentions and left the Ivorian winger alone.
