Small dogs can look harmless until they decide they are not. That is the running joke in this story, and it lands a little too well for anyone who has ever been side-eyed by a tiny dog with a big attitude.

As a responsible pet owner, keep in mind that it is 110% your responsibility to train your dog, big or small. It is imperative that you do, in fact, train your dog, because when interacting with other humans that it may or may not feel threatened by, you are the responsible party if anything happens to another person.
Take heart, my friends; all animals want to obey; however, they need to be taught how to act first. Give them that opportunity.
