One time when I was watching my sisters mastiff I took him to the dog park and saw him get attacked by a little terrier. Bear in mind that this is a +200lb dog who’s job it was to protect livestock on my sisters farm when she had a farm. When that terrier attacked him he literally just put a paw down and pinned the poor thing with it then looked over at me like “help. What do I do with this?” The poor terrier was fine but it’s like, really? That mastiff is bread to be able to fight wolves. What in that little terriers mind made it think it was going to be the david to that goliath.
I like huge dogs that are only terrifying when they’re on the clock and are otherwise perfectly gentle. That “Sigh, Hey authority simian, I stepped in something and I need an adult” energy is just excellent.
😂 yeah that’s strong terrier energy. They either have no concept, or give no fucks, about how small they are. My family’s Jack Russell would square up to horses and she would not back down from anything

Terriers were originally bred for mass murdering rats, idk if that has something to with their agressive tendencies
And badgers.
My mom’s doxie went camping with me when she was a few months old. She picked a fight with a blackbear. Or at least tried to.
The bear thankfully was some mix of amused and incredulous but decided to mosey on its way instead.
She’d pick a fight with anything and then hide behind me. Thanks, doggo.
Edit: Dog tax!

That’s hilarious. Our Doberman Pinscher pees himself when a horse walks by. He gets so scared!
