I would probably pass on playing basketball with a guy who could stand over me, but small dogs seem to be fearless in the face of overwhelming odds
There is no research whatsoever to back this claim up, but I swear that the smaller a dog actually is, the bigger it thinks it is. That’s convenient for us, because Eko loves playing with small dogs. I used to worry about it, but I quickly learned that the small pups are often more game than bigger dogs.
Chasing a thief seven times your size is generally ill advised, but this dog was undeterred
That’s no squirrel – that’s just one brave pup showing that he can dish it out!
Possibly my favorite little-dog encounter happened the other day in the park. Eko was lazily trotting around when I saw a little blur come out of nowhere to pounce on him. Right before my fits of laughter made the camera too shaky to take a decent photo, I managed to get this shot.
Your classic David vs Goliath
While the above battles may appear fierce, they are always good natured romps. And in the end, Eko always leaves his new friends smiling.

Next time you are overmatched, undersized or the odds are against you, remember the little dogs – I know I will!
I like small dogs , but my staff is always afraid I could swallow them when I breathe in :o)
Trev would say…High paws for the little guys!!!! They are BIG dogs in small bodies!!!!
Eko is such a gentle giant:)
Hehehe, that picture of the sneak attack pouncer is so great! I’m glad Eko has so many little buddies to play with 🙂
My sister and I love playing with smaller dogs too. Small dogs usually think they are big and us big ones think we are small 😉
Tonto loves taking on bigger dogs. The bigger the better. Hahah He has a Napoleon complex. =)
You’re right. They simply don’t take size into account. They go in brave and full of it and the other dogs, no matter their size, assume they worthy. Take it from the dogs – walk into all places with your head held high and a look of “I know I’m bigger than you” on your face and people will simply assume you’re fantastic.
What great shots!
Makes me smile.
this is so timely! At BlogPaws this past week I cannot begin to tell you the number of SMALL dogs that tried to attack giant-sized dogs!
What an amazingly patient boy your Eko is! I think he should get hazard pay…I mean biscuits…for putting up with all that yipping!
How true! Years ago, we had one of those small dogs and the bigger the better!!
What a great message Will. It’s more about attitude than anything else. Eko must feel like a giant but it’s obvious only the friendliest kind.
Love that crazy shot in the middle!
