I have a weiner/pitbull mix that is the sweetest wimpiest little thing.When a big,mean dog tried to attack me on our nightly walk,my baby jumped in front of me and hunkered down to stop that big dog from getting me.I was so impressed!!I had to kick the big dog to stop him from biting my baby,but I know my baby tried to save me.We both survived without a scratch!!
Probably not the Beagle, Lol, but I have a Shepard mix that might try and protect me.
The Sheltie in my avatar would and has protected me. It's those Lassie-esque genes, ya know? =)
I'm sure my girl (in the picture to the left) would try to lick you to death. But she realizes it's MY job to protect HER. I'm the leader, the guy that puts food in her bowl, shows her which direction to go when we're walking, leads her out the door, etc. She may even help the burglar carry the TV out the door!
I should have taught her to bark on command. At 90 #'s, that could be a bit intimidating.

my little guy Lox my avatar, doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He would lick ya to death and pee on ya if he gets scared 
My two babies (in my avatar) would either run for the hills or hide behind me in the face of danger. They're not big on bravery but they're hearts are gold. They're the two sweetest tempered dogs I've ever had.
I don't hold out much hope of my cat protecting me.
I've seen him run and hide at anything unusual that comes into the house.
He's a Siamese, so he's a bit high strung.........

definatly! My sheperd, the big black mix & the boxer would and have. even my little snhauzer would bark and maybe nip. I live in a very BAD part of a very bad town. They are my security system. No one really wants to tangle with this pack, not even the crack heads. They might be able to overcome one dog, but not four. I can't keep guns in the house due to my psychotic teen, so they are a safe and effective deterrent.
When my oven makes the fire alarms go off, my shih tzu hides. Not helpful. Although, I suppose in case of a fire, I'd be able to find her right away, under the bed!
She barks after people come in the house, like she's saying hello.
A very mellow and loyal dog, to be sure.

Just two words ......
Dobies rule!
To the OP, yes, Titus would protect any of his pack.

My English Shep attacked a man who broke into the house a few years back. Grabbed him by the thigh and pinned him against the wall. It was quite a surprise as he was generally a very laid back, goofy dog.
My cat Ollie, who I call my dog already has attacked someone for me, lol.
I had an ex boyfriend show up here at my motel the other day, Ollie was outside chillin on the picnic table as I cleaned rooms. I heard him make a bunch of noise getting off the table and then heard him growling and hissing at someone. He has a wicked whine howl about him when he's mad that I'd never heard before. Then a guy starts yelling and I pop my head out of the room I was cleaning to see whats going on. My little Ollie (who will be a year old on the 28th in fact) Well he was wrapped around the guys leg scratching and biting and climbing very quickly to a sensitive area. I thought he was going to eat him!! The Ex couldnt move fast enough or shake hard enough to get him off his leg. I yelled at him and he jumped off and ran to hide under a truck and the ex boyfriend just kept swearing and walked off.
LOL. I dont know why he was here but Ollie sure didnt want him around! Hahaha, I love my babies!

We've had various numbers of Dobes for something like 12 years now, and we talk about this from time to time. Of the several that have come and gone over the years, I think the older of our two present females, Rosie, is the one with the most protective instinct to rip an aggressive intruder a new one. Others, particularly the one male we had maybe not so much.
Cats are Very smart creatures. Yeah for Ollie! Open that boy a can of tuna!
I have been known to judge a potential boyfriend by how my cat likes him and vice versa. Dogs like to believe the best about people if you've let the person into the house. Cats aren't fooled as easily. I've always thought that the way a person treats an animal is indicative of how they would treat my kids and me.

When I was growing up we had a scotty named Mac (not an assclown, by the way).
He was so protective that when we got gas in the cars (it was that time long ago when the gas was always pumped for you) he would follow the service station attendant around the car windows snarling and growling all the way.
No one ever came into our backyard uninvited either.
My border collie, Robyn, would bark at anyone or any dog on our ranch property until I told her they were OK. Even then she would "keep an eye" on them until they left.
Now, I have 2 cats.
I don't think flopping on peoples feet is considered "guarding" is it?

If a burgler broke in, my Pugs would lick them to death! Also if I where attacked by a broom, coke can, feather duster or pudding cup I would be safe. Otis goes crazy barking at the strangest objects! Here's Otis attacking a Denta-Bone.
