People might expect a relatively large dog, such as a Boxer, to potentially terrorize a bunch of tiny chicks; however, just because a dog is big doesn’t mean that they are dangerous or have a high predatory drive. The dog in this video, Vito, the Boxer, is a gentle giant with the soul of a fluffy teddy bear.
Believe it or not, he is actually scared of his tiny chick siblings. When he sees them, he actually quivers a little bit, especially when they flap their tiny, fluffy wings. But when he gets the chance, Vito will tentatively sniff them to see what they are all about, showing his soft side. Slowly but steadily, this gentle dog is learning not to be afraid of his tiny chick siblings. Click the link here to watch this adorable video.

As this precious footage shows, sometimes, Vito will be really startled when his tiny chick siblings attempt to fly around the room. Their quick movements apparently catch him off guard, and he doesn’t know what to think: Am I safe? Are these fluffy little things dangerous? Why do they move so fast?
Although the chickens appear to be in charge in this video, there’s still a chance that Vito could improve his courage around them and be a confident canine once again. Because at this point, we’d say that his confidence level around his chick siblings is only around 2%, LOL.
Vito Eventually Found His Confidence
Eventually, Vito did become more comfortable around his chick siblings. Things may have been rocky at first, but now, when his chick siblings want to play around him, Vito doesn’t freak out at all; he simply lies back, lets it all happen, and enjoys the moment.
