Rottweiler.

It's hard to overstate this kitten's bravery. It's what, 8 weeks old or so? It'd be brave to stand up to a Yorkie, let alone an angry Rottweiler, a breed that--when it's snarling and snapping and pulling at its chain like that--could make a crown man wet his pants. But the kitten not only stands its ground, it even charges the big dog once or twice! Luckily, Bowser is all bark and no bite (literally). He doesn't seem truly angry or aggressive--he's not interested in harming the little guy--but he's probably frustrated by his inability to intimidate even a wee little kitten.

A beagle puppy tackling a giant attack dog would be scary, but luckily, this rottie's fangs are just for show. In fact, we'd pay money to see this rumble live! But it is plenty cute in this video. ...

Today's roundup features the righteous rottweiler! Looks like we found his ticklish spot! ...

AP It's traumatic enough to have to put your dog down. it's even more shocking to wake up and find the animal you thought was dead still sitting at its food bowl the next day, waiting for you to feed it. When his 10-year-old rottweiler, Mia, suffered from a debilitating spinal issue that let her barely able to walk, Matt Olivarez made the tough decision to put his faithful friend down. Sure he was making the right decision, Olivarez took his suffering friend to the Westcott Veterinary Care Center for her lethal injection. After saying his final goodbyes, Olivarez took Mia's body home for a fitting burial. However, before he could get her in the ground, the pouch shrugged off her blanket ...
