Opal thinks everyone is out to get her. She doesn't attack, but she'll bark ferociously, and growl & snap at a dog bigger than herself. (shih tzu) Maybe it's an "I'm tough" stance that all little dogs have learned?
OTOH, it did take a year till she was really comfortable with me, after I adopted her. Maybe she's had a hard life.
Anyway, leash is mandatory. Guess I could try a 50 foot one, or something!
