How does Boxer escape from being attacked by Napoleon's dogs?

In chapter 7, Napoleon calls an assembly to begin his purge and orders his dogs to immediately attack four defenseless pigs. The dogs drag the pigs by their ears in front of Napoleon before three of them attack Boxer.

In chapter 7, Napoleon calls an assembly to begin his purge and orders his dogs to immediately attack four defenseless pigs. The dogs drag the pigs by their ears in front of Napoleon before three of them attack Boxer. Fortunately, Boxer sees the attack coming and kicks the first dog to the ground and does not let it get up. While the pinned dog shrieks for mercy, the two other dogs run away in terror. Boxer then looks towards Napoleon to know whether he should crush the dog or let it go. Napoleon then appears to change his countenance and orders Boxer to let the dog go. Boxer is able to escape being attacked because of his size and strength. Boxer is by far the most powerful, physically intimidating animal on the farm and cannot be easily brought down by several dogs. Unfortunately, Boxer is not intelligent and is easily manipulated by Napoleon.
