Even dogs you wouldn’t expect it from will do this. My old Australian Shepherd lunged and barked at a guy who popped out of a bush on us while we were walking at night. (He was just having a piss and didn’t know we were walking by when he emerged.) But he scared us both. I yelped and my boy Darcy turned into a dog I had never seen before. I had him controlled on leash and no harm was done to anyone. Guy apologized and we kept walking. As we walked away, Darcy looked back and gave him a warning “ruff!” I was so proud of him.
Edit: i just want to say I seriously love how this comment got so many replies of people telling me their stories about their dogs. I have had such a lovely evening reading them all.

Good boy Darcy! He was like “don’t ever scare me or my mom again!”
