I’ve got a Boston terrier that has been known to hold his own with much larger dogs, but in his younger days. Once a stray dog came into our backyard while daughter was playing outside. Her dog (the Boston) rolled that much larger dog up repeatedly as he ran him around the yard. He’d get thrown off, the other dog would get up and run 25-30 feet, and he’d roll him up from behind again. It probably lasted 60 seconds, but my daughter was screaming bloody murder. The Boston stopped at the gate and just sat there happy as a clam.

He’s sleeping in my wife’s lap at the moment, and at 14 years old he’s not what he once was. There’s a lot of fight in some dogs. Sometimes too much for their own good.
