there is one vid of a male leopard taking on four large lionesses, all bigger than he was. he didn't defeat them but he held his own and he escaped in one piece after a long brutal ass fight. most badass cat vid i ever saw. major reps for leopard after that
can't post links but search "Leopard vs 4 Lions Fight!" in youtube

Holy chit that's alpha imagine having to fend off a damn tiger on elephant back, damn that is insane
But I agree with one guy that posted, since dogs were smart enough to help us back in time and we also helped them. Mutual benefit. Now if a lion came at your dog you could shoot it dead in 2 seconds long as you don't miss.
Even a thousand years ago you could shoot it down with a bow or at worst you and a couple people could kill it with spears. All of this defends the dog, humans are on top so high that we have to be merciful to the other top animals in order to be responsible lol.
I think we evolved to find dogs cute because if we keep them around they keep wolves away from us while we sleep and help us hunt. So that cute little dog posted above is actually more alpha in a purely biological sense than a hyeana because he actually is higher on the food chain thanks to us humans and never has to worry about predators.
Dog + human (even in ancient days) = GOAT team, I mean we even took down mammoths and stuff way back. Probably ancient humans have used dog packs to defend themselves from big cats at some point in time
Dogs on their own though, I don't know about. But dogs evolved to be our companions, they were never intentionally on their ownTom Leykis Crew

this is all pretty much accurate. I think the current consensus is that wolves eventually learned that if they were nice to us we'd give them our scraps. The wolves that were cute and friendly were rewarded by their environment (humans, who kept them around for companionship and protection), and thus evolution was induced from the wolf to the domesticated dog. And then we went crazy and things like poodles and chihuahuas exist now.

Neither does an appendix apparently, yet you still have one. Someone might be born with a certain minor mutation that makes use of the appendix somehow and they would have a slightly better chance of surviving.. given enough time everyone without that special appendix might fade from the gene pool and eventually all humans have the new appendix. Weak example, but same concept dumb ass not everything you have is completely functional

when the name of the game is intimidation, size does help. did i have to explain that one to you? no ****ing hunter sics his dogs on a bear expecting them to kill it. they're there to drive it up the tree so it's easy pickings for the hunter.
maybe you're thinking of an illegal animal cruelty game called bear baying where what they do is they tie the bear up or give it some sort of disability and have a pack of dogs attack it. look it up, it's some gruesome ****. but yeah, even then like i said the bear is either tied, crippled, or both to give the dogs an advantage.
