We have a three and a half pound Maltese, and the whole planet should rejoice that he’s not 90 pounds and four times larger in size: I’d let him outside to potty and he come back later on carrying human body parts and automobile tires in his mouth, probably.
Utterly fearless beast with a strict sense of guard dog duty and an enormous ‘little guy’ chip on his shoulder. Flies into combat at the drop of a hat.
Not a big Putin fan, but got to go with Vlad on the dog thing.

Same here. Silly little dog for a grown man.
“What exactly is foo-foo about a Scottie?”
I know... it’s an alligator with hair. I’ve seen what they can do to large farm rats and even ground hogs.
Vlad’s got to know that you need the right size dog for the job. A Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound) ain’t going to cut it when you need a tunnel rat (Vietnam reference).
Yeah he needs a big truck.
At my son’s high school, the guy with the biggest truck is rumored to have the biggest “set”. Guys try to get a really big truck so they can have the honor. This year, the biggest truck award goes to.....my son’s girlfriend’s F250.
When she pulls into the lot, you see people deflate. It’s her dad’s truck.
I thought Barney was Laura’s dog.
I have a mixed terrier and she is just as you said - feisty and won’t back down, regardless of the size of the other dog She tried to take on a huge German Shepherd last week. That do would have eaten her for lunch, but she stood her ground. Bless her heart. Fortunately, that over-sized shepherd wasn’t hungry.
“Bigger, stronger and faster”
That was pretty much the Soviet’s attempted strategy for then entire cold war.
Putin did the same thing to Obama. He brought his dog out and said “This is a dog”. Obama pushed Michele forward and said “No this is a dog”. Putin capitulated.
Bush should have responded “Vlad, it’s a dog, not a penis.”
“Hey Vlad, I see that big dog of yours. Got any BBQ sauce” -Barry Obama
Bigger dogs are often bemused & confused when confronted by a small dog that’s “all-in” for combat.
Awww. Here's mine, though he's 5 pounds. He's not particularly a tough guy, though he fears almost nothing.
I know... its an alligator with hair.
An alligator with hair, LOL. As someone who owned Scotties for many years, that's one of the best descriptions I've ever heard. When the first breeders were setting the genes that would eventually result in the AKC-recognized Scottie breed, this is how they decided which of their stock to use for furthering the desired breed characteristics: they'd put a live badger into a closed barrel. Then they'd put the Scottie dog into the barrel with the badger. If the Scottie dog lived, they used it for breeding.
He literally would protect us with his little life:
Yup. As a group, terriers are feisty little buggers. You could make a case for a Yorkie being a “foo-foo” dog, but remember that group also includes the dreaded pit bull!
As I recall, shih tzus were originally bred as guard dogs.
That’s because they were bred to kill vermin.
When he gets on the back of the couch to look up and down the street for intruders and guard the house — I tell people he’s looking for YETI.
They were indeed, bred to guard temples in Nepal and Tibet.
