Stella and I walked by two women and one says, "Oh my *God*, I thought that was a huge rat", to which her friend replied, "So did I. Well, it is a rat."

I know Stella is not everyone's cup of tea, and I usually laugh off insults or odd comments, but this was just plain wrong.

So I stopped dead, turned around, and said to them, "Funny, but I didn't think hippos had a working knowledge of dog breeds."

Very childish of wee prose, but I couldn't believe the cheek of them. How bloody rude

Only slight problemo: they were heading into my gym at the time

I salute you, you've just made me chuckle, i have a terrier, i call her a little rat, and my porky springer, a pig, my whippet is called daisy but we call her dobby the house elf (harry potter) cause she always looks like we've ironed her paws, but these are loving guestures. I would like to think i'd be quick enough off the mark to form such a worthy reply, to anyone insulting me or mine.

All hail the quick witted one

How incredibly rude! Did Stella bite them for insulting her like that?

I should have ordered her to take a fibrous poop on their sneakers.

The first "rat" comparison, I was happy to let go (it's dark out, the woman might have been startled--whatever...) but to go on like that...

Stella is all sorts to me--farty lips, steroid bum, alien. But mothers are allowed to be a tad cruel

As sure as cheese is cheese, I know I'm going to run into ole industrial hips in a pilates class this week.

Oh no, Stella is gorgeous! Good on you for coming back with a quick witty response, I usually think of those kinda things 5 mins later when its too late

I usually am not a fan of smaller dogs but I think Stella is absolutely lovely! Her character shines through and I wouldn't challenge her! Ignore them. She is beautiful and happy dog and that shines through!

Nasty cows!!! - thankfully, we know that Stella is a happy, well-adjusted little person and that this callous comment will not cause any lasting size "issues"

. I think these people need to be made aware of Stellas' world-wide fan base

Well done for the quick retort!!
I would just have stood there like a goldfish.
P has been called a chihuawa before (which I did not see as a compliment).
Tell S we all love her.
