'24' star Kiefer Sutherland is scared of small dogs.
The '24' star recoiled in terror when a fan recently approached him in a Beverly Hills restaurant carrying a tiny Yorkshire Terrier to ask him for an autograph.
A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "When Kiefer jumped the pooch went berserk, growling, yapping and snapping.
"The lady giggled and told him, 'He doesn't bite.'"
Kiefer replied: "I'm sure, but let's not take the chance. I'll give you the autograph, but why don't you and your doggie go back to your table."
The action hero then signed a napkin the woman had brought over and got a waiter to deliver it to her table.
