For this man, what was intended as a well-intentioned check on a seemingly stray dog turned into a full-on sprint and a quick prayer that he'd make it out alive.

Jason Powell and his son, Harry, were driving home on June 23 when they spotted a dog walking alone on the street. They pulled over and Jason went to see if the dog was ok, and the Pomeranian immediately charged towards him. He broke into a run, turning his head every few seconds to check if the demon dog was still hot on his heels. The video was filmed in Kent, UK.

"Glad the dog was ok but my dad on the other hand was not," Harry told Newsflare. "He’s never run so fast in all his life, well I’ve never seen him run that quick and it’s funny because he’s quite a macho athletic guy running from the smallest dog possible."
