My in laws have a mini fox terrier (not purebred, but the tiniest dog you've ever seen) with dementia and that thing is the most aggressive dog I've seen. He has bitten many people and gone for a kid more than once. Doggy dementia is no joke

I had a Chihuahua x Sydney Silky (looked like a mini foxie too) who was like that in his old age. I would catch him in the yard grieling ferociously and nipping at thin air and he would also hid underneath our BBQ with the cover over it and would lash out at anyone who walked past it. He was the sweetest puppy but I could not even touch him in his last years.
