My Maltese was like this too, except he was even afraid of his own farts and would run yimpering away when he let one squeak, which of course only let more out.
Here's Billy, the boy who's afraid of murderous rampaging psychopaths. Watch as we kick in his bedroom door in the middle of the night wearing hockey masks and revving chainsaws.
i love this..i have a yorkshire terrier who is surprised every time he farts....he sniffs his butt and is like,what the fuck, then he runs to another room...
