do hobbits have hobbit-sized pets? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

okay, in the movie, remember when the black rider came, there was a dog and, whimpering, it walked backward into the hobbit hole. Okay, the funny thing is, it was totally in proportion with its owner, a hobbit! Now, this dog was no toy dog- I think was a German Shepard or something. But anyhoo... if ponies are like horses to hobbits, then how come the dog wasn't humongous? How come it was in proportion with the hobbit? Does this mean hobbits have hobbit-sized pets? Do they even have pets, period? My brother says that it was a glitch in the movie. What do you think?
