I chased the mailman down the street roughly 7 years ago when that bitch ass little pussy took a package to the BACK DOOR and proceeded to kick my female golden retriever mutt when she barked at him.
When I caught up to him he threatened to call the cops, and sadly I had to factor in that if I put hands on that little bitch the police would pretty much guaranteed side with him and view me sticking up for my dog as assault and likely do nothing about the fact that he kicked my dog because dogs/animals don't have rights. Plus if he were to claim she bit him they could have euthanized my dog.
Never saw that mailman again so I guess he switched to a different route which was probably for the best.

Now take the uniforms, public servants and cops out of that situation and i am swinging.
I am 46 and haven't been in a fist fight in 25 years.
I have 2 dogs now. Both fairly well behaved and I keep them under control, so a scenario where someone kicks my dog is unlikely, but yeah, dogs are family and I am fighting anyone that fucks with my family.
