Halloween Decoration Is a Big ‘Nope’ For Adorably Cautious Dog in Viral Video

Sometimes a dog is just going to be a dog when it comes to protecting its humans.

That also means being cautions of every creature, whether it is real or made of plastic.

Jack is kind of a big deal among dog lovers on Instagram. The 8-year-old labrador retriever lives out his days in Minnesota while his owner shares photos of his adventures with their thousands of followers.

Even though the Instagram account describes him as a "remote stealer extraordinaire, there's enough evidence in the posts showing he is a very good boy.

Most photos show Jack in picturesque settings around Minnesota. One recent post, however, showed the dog's more protective side.

Jack's owner recently purchased a new Halloween decoration from Home Depot. The life-size plastic black lab is decked out in bright white skeleton bones. A white mask circles its eyes.

In the daylight, the decorative dog is a bit startling. It may be even worse at night when its white skeleton bones glow in the dark.

But what would Jack think about this uninvited dog showing up at his place?

Jack's owner brought the decoration home and placed it in the yard before he could see it.

"Time to prank the real Labrador," text on the video reads.
