My dog is about as close to a pacifist as I've ever seen in a dog, but even she gets irritated at one of my mom's ankle-biters and will act somewhat threatening towards the little brat dog.
Katie got attacked once by a bigger dog, a pit-bull mix. She fought back, and that dog ended up with a lot more damage because Katie fought smart. She bit the dog in the eye and made sure it landed in the rose bushes, before I pulled the damned thing off her (I'm not scared of most dogs).
