Has your pet ever broken up a family fight?

Once my 2 teenage sons were getting on each others nerves more and more each day and finally the fists started flying. I was about 50 feet away and as I was running over to break it up I could see that they weren't goofing around or holding back. Then I noticed that our family dog was going nuts with confusion he would try to stop one boy from throwing punches then the other boy and so on. When I got to them I got between them and said - look what your doing to Sundance they did then hung their heads in shame and went to their corners. Pretty sure if I would of said - boys look what your doing to me they would of said - so what old man (back then I was getting on their 17 year old teenager nerves too). We have a great relationship now so I'll always be grateful to Sundance for playing a part in it (might be different these days if the fight turned into a 3 man fight). Cheers!

    That was an awesome way to settle it. 

    I have jumped between people before. I think mostly it's my "crazy" that makes them stop. I may not be able to physically end a fight when the people involved are twice my size, but I'm fearless and they usually back away because they don't know what I'll do.
