Many have offered up their interpretation of the dog’s potential frightening backstory, with some sharing pictures comparing it to the Joker and one Twitter user photoshopping a red balloon into the image, nodding to the one Pennywise has in It.
“That’s not a dog that’s a tiny serial killer,” one Twitter user responded, while another said “That dog is plotting how to make your death look like a tragedy, while horrifying the entire neighborhood just to send a message.”

In other horror news, Zoom-based thriller Host was recently awarded the title of the scariest film of all time in a new study.
The study was conducted by The Science of Scare Project, which invited 250 people to watch 40 of the “world’s scariest” horror movies.
During the marathon, attendees were “fitted with heart rate monitors and invited into our specially designed screaming rooms to watch the movies over the course of several weeks, under medical and researcher supervision”.
