Dream of chased

I was a meduim sized dog and felt its fear, and overcoming and making the 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 he chased the larger dog there wagrowls and and stances and an understanding between them, the larger dog ran off. Then the meduim dog returned to its place and I noticed he was protecting puppys. I was so proud of this dog, because he challenged his fear
