Never sell your dogs short.
I’ve told the tale of Minny the Ibizan who acted *totally* out of breed character by jumping on the ex’s back when he was strangling me to death.
Ibizans are not even remotely aggressive or vicious...*ever*.
But she knew he was killing me and did what she had to.
They will always surprise you.

Exactly.
A dog will react to its companion’s distress.
Maybe. I hope I never have to find out. None of mine have ever shown any inclination in that direction.
