I get such a kick out of watching our puppy Dolly. She is a pug but she thinks she is a German Shepard. She isnt afraid of anything and will play with toys ten times her size. She barks and growls like she is mean and fercious but when she shakes her behind I cant help but laugh. She pounces on your feet like she is a lion and then goes into her tiger mode by growling and nipping at your toes. She may not be lion but she has the heart of one. Do you find that your small dog is the same way?

I have a shih tzu (kobe) who thinks he is as big as my siberian husky (tasha). He would race with her, jump as high as he could to bite tasha's ears. He would grab my mom's slippers and run with it, hoping to be chased by tasha. He never thinks that tasha is so much bigger than him. When tasha starts to play with him, he would never say no... i think kobe says to tasha, "i wont let you overpower me! HA-Ha!"

My smallest rat terrier also has a lot of attitude. The day after I first got here I took her for a walk around the neighborhood. She weighed all of 2.4 pounds. We met the neighbor's 80 pound chow "puppy" and Annie showed him who was boss right away. She is definitely full of attitude!

I think most little dogs think they are big dogs, not sure if it is for show or if it is just insticts kicking in, I thin k it is quite funny to see a little dog chasing after a big dog..

My sweet little guy will meet a bigger dog, push his brisket out and puts on his best boldness. It is so adorable how so many of the toy breeds have such fearless bravado and burst with personality. How can anyone not love them?

Yep! I have two Maltese. One is 5 pounds and the other is 7 pounds. They both think they're Godzilla! Well, actually the smaller one is the toughest. She goes after a bunch of geese who have decided that my property is their home. They both chase our 16 pound cat! It is funny to watch them when they think they're big stuff! LOL There is something that really exists called "Short Man Syndrome" where men who are shorter than average have an inferiority complex and compensate by acting all big and bad. I wonder if the little dogs are the same way? Hmmm...

My maltese attacked a massive lab when she was just a three pound puppy. It was so funny to watch. The lab just stared at her wondering, "What are you doing runt?"

I have two dogs who have size confusion... My miniature dacshound thinks he is a big dog. He has the heart of a big dog. My akita though she thinks she is a small lap dog (she weighs around 65 pounds). She is 6 months old so she is still a puppy. She has no concept that she is that big.

We have a little chihuahua and she goes the same thing! She barks at dogs when they pass the house. She also carries around toys that are way to big for her.
