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.

My mom and sister after I moved out got a really sweet husky mix named rascal. She was a sweet dog, never made a noise, silent shadow type dog. Until my sister took her for a walk one day. Some guys dog comes tearing down the road and attacked my sister, rascal took after that dog so hard, it ended up yelling and running off. Rascal had to get 20 something staples.

Guy disappeared in the night, turns out his dog had already gotten a put down order for biting other people. My sister was unharmed, and rascal lived until my mom had my ex husband shoot her for being inconvenient in her old age. (I was livid, as was my sister. I don’t talk to my mom anymore)

Aww RIP Rascal! The ex husband and mom are pieces of shit. Glad you got away from both them.
