When we visited Yellowstone park, a bear wandered up to our (rolled up) car windows. Lady immediately jumped into mom's lap and began trying to eat her way through the glass to confront the 600 pound black bear. She had her jaws at the glass, foaming at the mouth and barking and growling like a maddened werewolf. I believe if mom had rolled down the window, dear, brave Lady would have lept upon the bear and tried to kill him. She weighed all of about 7 pounds, too. About 5 or 6 years later, we kids were in the yard and a large dog, about the size of a St Bernard but of uncertain breed, came into the yard and growled at my sister. Lady ran up to him like a little badger, rolled under him and bit him in his most tender area. The big dog ran off howling, dragging Lady until he reached our property line, where she let him go. She was absolutely fearless in defense of the family, and lived to be nineteen years old. She died, on guard, laying on the sofa with her nose pointed toward the front door, which she considered her indoor sentry post for many years.

And I wasn't yelling for help! Bless their little doggie hearts ;-) My dog, who was terrified of getting into water over her head, once swam out to “rescue” me when I was kayaking.
