How do your pets relate?

We had a mix of pets for a period of 5 years when a pigeon was co-existing with the dogs. They are all staying inside the house, the dogs on the ground floor while the pigeon on the second floor. At first, the dogs chased the pigeon playfully. But when the pigeon showed its muscle by going on a fighting stance, the dogs were stymied. When I bring the dogs out to the front yard, the pigeon would go out too as if she is part of the herd - we have 3 dogs when the pigeon left us.
