This is the terrifying moment a husky attacked its owner in a vet's waiting room in India.

The pet keeper and a physician were lounging in the lobby when the playful dog walked towards him for pets on February 11.

CCTV footage shows the canine in front of the man, seemingly asking for attention.

Moments later, it suddenly bit his hand, causing him to drag the animal out of the room.

He even pinned it to the floor while trying to open the door.

However, he grappled with it by the neck inside the clinic, but the dog violently resisted, prompting him to kick it outside and lock the door.

The man reportedly sustained injuries to his hand from the bite.

Vets believe that the animal was overstimulated, causing it to become aggressive.

Huskies may exhibit aggressive behaviour due to a lack of exercise, poor socialisation, physical discomfort, resource guarding, miscommunication, or stressful situations.
