Benny sees this as his life goal…he’s totally oblivious to goading, barking and general dick behaviour, but if I am out with my sister and her older Lab. Then he takes it upon himself to act as the chaperone / bouncer to any other dog that act aggressively towards her Lab. same thing with my mates Greyhound, we were in Salcombe with my sister and a larger black lab (full male) was off the lead and bothering my sisters elderly Lab. Benny steamed in and just stood between the two of them, fronting down the black lab…eventually after just a stare down it turned around and walked off. If we were on our own, I am pretty sure he would not have even noticed the other dog.

Smaller terriers are impressively fearless.
Have his dog friends made any attempt to step in when this has happened? Am quite surprised if they haven't, though dog group dynamics still confuse me. Like play with 3 dogs often seems to turn bad in my experience, whereas if there's 4 or a larger group, it seems to generally be fine.
