Hilarious reactions have trailed a video of a masquerade running to safety after hearing the sound of a dog barking viciously.

The masquerade who was accompanied by three others below the age of 12 were captured walking towards an area and all of a sudden they stopped walking abruptly upon hearing the dog barking.

Fear gripped them and they moved back to themselves together. The masquerade crossed to the other side of the road to avoid trouble by being seen by the dog.

Reacting to the video, an Instagram user identified as @radianthairpalace remarked that ‘the gods are shaken’.
