That is an amazing photo!
Reminds me of a site I watched for awhile in rural New Jersey. Three large turkey buzzards were snacking on a woodchuck when I came across them. I watched as they picked away at it. Then they suddenly hopped/flew about 20’ away. Then I saw it, a hawk of some sort. He grabbed some meat and went back to his perch on a utility pole. And the buzzards went back to picking away at the woodchuck.
But every time that little guy spread his wings to come down, those buzzards were real quick to hop away. The hawk was probably one-tenth the size of the buzzards!
I'd say goldens get a *bad-ass* award...they seem to have no fear.
