Dogs are pack animals. In the wild they ran in packs and instinctively they protect their pack. Domestic dogs think of their owners as part of their pack.
The dogs get very attached to one person. That person is usually the person who spends the most time with them, which should be their owners. If the dog feels like something or someone is a threat to their owners, they will growl and a back off warning and if you don't they will snap or bite at them.

∙ 14y agoDogs are protective of their owners because they are loyal. When a dog owner feeds its dog, takes it on walks, and just shows affection for it, dogs will do anything to protect that person that does all those things for them. My dog is so protective of me that he hardly lets my brother touch me without eying him. Think of it as when parents have kids they will do anything and everything to protect them, and even give their life for them. Well in a case of dogs to humans, the Humans are the kids that the dogs think need protecting, and the dogs are the parents that will do anything to ensure this protection happens.
