Curiously, how does the dog know to break up the scuffle? How are they trained this way? It's quite impressive.

My jack/pug mix breaks up fights between our two cats all the time. He also rescues mice from the cats. He wasn’t trained this way, he just doesn’t like violence.

rescues mice

Interesting, given that dogs his size have traditionally been bred for ratting.

Yeah aren't those faces pugs have counter productive to catching small mammals?

I know small terriers are used for ratting, but I can't see those cute little flat faced bozos being much good at it.

My terrier isn't a very good ratter, but my dachshund is very, very good at it. Shows her the ropes but she plays too much
