Well they love deer and elk so I doubt any size dog is safe, but I think it would be rare for them to come at one that’s close to its owner. I remember awhile back one making the news. A couple was walking a Standard Schnauzer I believe around the red deer river and a cat grabbed the dog leash and all and went up a tree with the owner on hot pursuit. He was actually able to pull the dog out of the tree and save it, so it definitely happens.
