Dream of chased

I was a meduim sized dog and felt its fear, and decision to protect. Then I wasnt the dog and I was observing it. It saw a larger dog they both growled at each other then the dog, i was observing chased the larger dog there wasnt a fight but growls and there was a understanding between them, the larger dog ran off. Then the meduim dog went back to its place and I noticed he was protecting puppys. I was so proud of this dog, because I felt his fear
