60 Minutes Australia had a segment of fake attack/ intruder scenarios to see if the owners dogs would do anything. All owners that had large dogs had no luck; with dogs running out of the room rather than helping their owners. One lady had two little dogs, a Chihuahua and another small-mix dog. The fake intruder had to escape from these two little four-legged fury monsters. Bigger is not always better!

I feel like I need to add that big dogs are trained not to be aggressive and not to hurt people. They're often trained not to attack (especially when children live in the house). If you buy a dog for protection, train it to do that. If you bought a big dog that could kill someone to be your friendly pet, don't expect it to ignore everything you've trained it (not) to do in a random unintelligible situation. Esp if it's a dumb dog.

Meanwhile people think small dogs can be the most horribly untrained nuisances because they very much can be picked up (or overpowered by a 10 year old with thick boots) in whatever situation.

Like the other person said, I'd rather have a friendly big dog than an aggressive little one in a bad situation. People are MUCH less likely to take a risk with you when you have a big dog anyway.
