    Springing into action

    This wiener dog didn't miss a beat when its owner came into harm's way. The pooch sprang straight into action, and went after an angry moose in order to give its owner time to escape. I've got to be honest, I don't know if I would've been brave enough to do the same thing. With how much snow is on the ground in the video, I don't even know if you could've convinced me to go outside that morning!

    The Classic Napoleon Complex

    Rectangle - verti-go-go-go · 7 days ago 2 Definitely man's best friend, taking on an animal that's well over 10 times it's size 100 times it's own weight. 1.4k 5 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow really_nice_guy_ : 7 days ago 2 S It's a common thing among tiny dogs. Chihuahuas would fight a t-rex

    Ahhhh yes, the classic Napoleon complex. I grew up with a chihuahua and know this attribute of little dogs all too well. Napoleon Bonaparte was a French General who, due to his fearsome military reputation and somewhat small stature, became the namesake for a condition where short or small people or animals overcompensate for their size with an abundance of noise. With dogs, this means that chihuahuas and other small breeds sometimes feel a need to bark and posture when around bigger dogs or animals in order to get respect. In this case though, I don't even think Napoleon would've been as fearless as this dog.

    Who Would Win In A Staring Contest: Deer or Chihuahua?

    Rectangle - jinside · 7 days ago My Chihuahua charged a deer one time I nearly walked into. The deer was stunned, the dog was stunned that the deer didn't run away, and we all stood there awkwardly for a moment until the deer processed the situation and took off. 1 34 LJ Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    We Need More Dog Pictures, People!

    Font - Cre8ivejoy · 7 days ago My little 5 Lb Morkie is extremely fierce. She is the very definition of ankle biter. Although I realize is is serious business, I have to laugh when I see that tiny fluff ball. Of course I pick her up as quickly as I can. But she is completely fierce. She has fear, but her courage is enormous. As is her personality. 13 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow Calligraphie 6 days ago All these people in here talking about their dogs, yet I see no dog tax 15 J Repl

Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow BronkoGulaschnikow · 6 days ago "Dach" means "roof", "Dachs" is the badger. So Dachshund is "Badger-Dog".
