Doorbell footage caught a delivery driver in Texas half-skipping, half-running back to his car after trying to pet one of a pair of dogs who wound up chasing him.

One dog approached the van from the garden in New Boston and started barking, while the other gets up close and personal with the driver, who is wearing a FedEx uniform.

The friend of the owner said: "FedEx driver attempts to pet dog, learns to dance instead" after the event was captured on May 18.
