A delivery driver has been praised for his reaction after being confronted by a guard dog quite rightly named 'Angry Ivan'. Watch the viral clip below:

Jason explained in his caption that 'nobody makes it past that gate' because of his two guard two dogs - one of which is nicknamed 'Angry Ivan' - who 'doesn't like anybody coming in'.
As shown in the CCTV footage, as the driver walks out the driveway, he's met by two barking guard dogs that ruffle him up.
As explained by Jason, 'fortunately the guy never ran away... thank God', and the driver was seen standing still and staying calm in the tense situation.

The comments section were impressed by the driver with the way he stood still and put his arms up as we can only assume that if he ran away, he might have been in serious trouble.
Thankfully the owner looked to quickly get the dogs under control.
However, after praising the driver, some thought 'Angry Ivan' was 'untrained' after 'not obeying commands first time'.
One user commented: "That delivery driver was absolutely fantastic."
