Video captures the dog in Iowa who is scared of EVERYTHING from mayonnaise to kitchen roll

Some pets are excitable, some prefer to spend their time asleep and some, like this little pooch, are of a very nervous disposition.

This hilarious video has taken the internet by storm after it emerged on Facebook alongside the caption: 'My dog is scared of everything!!'

The statement, which in hindsight is an understatement, was made by the owner of the pooch Cody Viselli, from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Cody captured the same scared response from the dog when he ran at it with a jar of mayonnaise (left) and kitchen roll (right)

The clip shows Cody presenting one of his two dogs a handful of around-the-house items and capturing the same scared reaction from his pet.

In the video Cody walks out from the kitchen holding a screw and the dog responds by running off into the front room at high speed.

The filmmaker then returns to the kitchen and comes back with a jar of mayonnaise, and the dog responds in exactly the same way.

Humorously the frightened pet circles a much larger dog, who does not appear to understand what is going on, in a bid to get away from the object.

Later Cody chased his pet pooch with the kitchen roll (left) before holding its gaze with a can of air freshener (right)

Later Cody holds a can of air freshener and points it towards the dog, causing it to jump backwards in anticipation.

After chasing it once more the filmmaker repeats the process with kitchen roll.

The video concludes with Cody proving his point once and for all and running towards the dog with his hand out in front of him while carrying absolutely nothing.

As expected, the terrified pooch sprints away from him and jumps onto an armchair before heading back the other way.

Since appearing online a week ago the video has been watched over 13 million times.

Commenting on the clip, one Facebook user said: 'Seriously I can't stop laughing,' while another wrote: 'My family and I are still dying. This is too funny.' 

Just to prove that the dog was scared of absolutely everything, Cody chased after it with nothing in his hand
