This is the hilarious moment two pet dogs barked ferociously at each other while standing on either side of a partially opened gate.

The hot-headed pooches were playing in their owner's backyard when yet another clash sparked between them in Songkhla province, Thailand on June 12.

But instead of a fierce face-to-face bark off, the creatures lashed at each other while the gate stood between them.

When they were done expressing their angry feelings, one of the pooches emerged from behind the gate and they both meekly trudged off.

The pet owner's neighbour Ornwaree said: ‘Those two never got along. They always bark at each other. But the funny thing is, they don't fight openly. They bark at each other with the gate between them.'

The pooches returned to playing after their amusing fight.
