I am sorry that your dog got attacked and maise sounds like a good idea. I have tried to separate dogs (not mine) and know that sometimes they don't let go so easily. I remembered though, as you were talking about your pug, that I had a mixed breed, like a shelty sized English Setter. She was really cute. She used to bark at big dogs, and when they'd run at her she'd run to me and jump into my arms, and then continue to bark at them. Fortunately, I was always able to make them back down before they knocked up both down....
