VIDEO: Dog conquers irrational fear of living room carpets

In what is possibly the cutest video we have ever seen of a dog conquering a fear, young Artie overcomes his greatest hurdle - the living room carpet.

His fear lies in cross thing the threshold of the door into the next room, making the tranistion from hardwood or tile flooring to soft carpet.

But Artie is no fool, and comes up with his own cunning plan to sneak up on his adversary.

"If I can’t see it, it’s not as terrifying!"

Despite being quite a big dog, this just proves that Golden Retrievers are big softies at heart.

Well done, Artie - we’re so proud!
