"Small dog syndrome" We refer to her as the 11 lb rottweiler. She has no clue that she's small.
My little cockerspaniel, Ben, was a very self-assured alpha dog, despite his size. I used to say "When Ben looks in the mirror he sees a Rottweiler". On the other hand, my big old hound Henry has no idea how large he is, and can't understand why he can't curl up on my lap like a puppy.

I have one of those neighbours too. Henry is very quiet in the house, but will sometimes howl and bay outside when we see another dog. And somehow he always seems to do it right when we're passing by that neighbour's house. She likes to bellow from her upstairs window: "Put a muzzle on that dog!"
