Pint-sized pooches terrify delivery driver as he scrambles up fence

A delivery driver was forced to scramble up a fence to escape a pair of barking dogs after ringing a customer’s doorbell.

The driver can be seen walking up to the property and ringing the bell before suddenly being confronted by the dogs.

As they rush towards him, he quickly runs away and clambers up a fence to get out of their reach.

Lydia Starkey, 27, was in the back garden at the time and said she had no idea her brother had ordered food, as reported by What’s The Jam.

She said she opened the gate, causing one of the dogs to burst out, before shouting for help.

But her mum was feeding her newborn baby, while her partner was in the shower and her brother could not hear the commotion.

Lydia, from Lichfield, Staffordshire, said the driver then ran around to a neighbour’s front garden and climbed onto bins to escape from the dogs.

She said: “I was in the back garden and didn’t know my brother had ordered food.

“As I opened the gate the dog burst out, I shouted for help but my mother was feeding my newborn and her partner was in the shower and my brother couldn’t hear.

“The driver then ran around to my neighbours front garden and got onto the bins from the dogs.”

After making sure the driver was okay, Lydia said the family eventually saw the funny side.

She added: “After making sure the driver was okay, we did find it funny.

“These things happen with dogs getting out.”

Lydia’s video of the unfortunate reaction from the delivery driver was viewed over 860,000 times, with 5,400 likes.

One person said: “Poor dog got a footlong thrown at its head!”

Danielle showed sympathy, saying: “Doesn’t matter if he won’t bite some people are terrified of dogs no matter how big or small .. not everyone is a dog lover.”

Katie said: “I’ve never seen someone panic so much over 2 small dogs.”

Another user added: “I’m commenting and crying as it’s still playing but it’s cheered me up. I’m sorry but delivery drivers take the job knowing anything could happen including dogs escaping and barking, if you got a sign on the gate saying you have dogs and he didn’t take notice he definitely can’t moan.”

One person said: “The way he acted, I was half expecting to see a pride of Lions!”

Another user said: “Not exactly scary dogs hahahah”
