I actually have a somewhat humorous story regarding this. I was walking my dog Schnookie on a leash, when we encountered a dog which didn't have a leash. The dog came over with a forewarning look, and, had it not been a sufficiently sized German Shepard, I probably wouldn't have thought twice since my dog was not exactly timid. With the Shepard's master beckoning from across the street, it, and Schnookie, engaged in a brief sniff of each other nose to nose. A fight broke out immedeately, and before I could step in to kick the dog away I watched as Schnoo took the front paw of his adversary into his mouth and thrashed into about until the dog submitted. Afterwards the Shepard limped back across the street whining a few choice words as it did, I'd imagine. Schnookie was at the end of his leash fully ready for a pursuit of what I guess had become his prey. This all coming from a 25 lb Wire Haired Fox Terrier. Needless to say, it still makes me smile.
