Halloween came early this year for a cute pug who was scared by a spooky food bowl.

Pickle the pug’s owners wanted to play a trick on the adorable dog by swapping his normal food bowl with a Halloween candy bowl. 

In a video, the bowl is seen full of dog food and surrounded by a skeleton in a black cape.

As Pickle approaches the bowl and goes in for food, the skeleton’s eyes light up and it jumps out at the dog.

Pickle jumps back in fear as the motion-sensored skeleton shakes and says something inaudible.

But Pickle doesn’t think the prank is funny, and instead barks at the red-eyed skeleton.

It’s unclear exactly where in the US Pickle and his owners are located.
