Aggressive Dog Stance

As you can see in this stance the dog is trying to make himself appear to be very large by standing straight up, and holding his ears and tail up as well. Their tail may move back and forth slowly and they have a low pitch growl as well. If you are facing a stray dog that looks like this then avoid eye contact as they will perceive this as a challenge. Remain calm and if you turn around and start running then the dog will chase you. DO NOT RUN! Stand still and be calm until the dog relaxes.
