I have a story about The Bear, your pup's papa. 
My great nieces and nephews were visiting once. The niece was playing in the small pasture that connects to my neighbor's property. The neighbor's rott was going berserk, trying to get through the fence (mostly bluffing I think). Bear placed himself between my niece and the rott. And wherever she ran, he kept himself between them and never took his eyes off the neighbor's dog. He didn't bark or growl, but he meant business.
