Dog could be begging the stranger for a treat or trying to signal that she is being held captive and wants to be rescued.

Thank you, Mithuana!
Are you okay now?
I am sorry I forgot to mention you.

Sorry, but a genetically "civilly strong" dog ( and due to lack of proof we still don't know if your dog is genetically civil or just spoiled, nervy, and sharp ) has to behave in society ( including family ) - otherwise the handler ( that's you ) has to keep the dog away from any harm - for humans and dog.

Susie

What observable characteristics ( according to you ) benchmarks a genetically civil dog?
What characteristics benchmarks a spoiled, nervy , sharp dog?
Lets stop throwing around ambiguous terms.

Susie yr over thinking it - dog locks eyes with random NY'ers walking down the street going about their own daily business and growls at his wife if she tries to sleep in her own bed while the dog is there.

Clearly civil.

No, Mith, I tried often enough.

You either didn't listen or you didn't believe. Doesn't matter

one last time

For sure not.
There have been x topics about your dog, and there have been x topics about drive and temperament.
Whom to believe?
You will never know as long as you don´t start seriously to train and compare.

Information in a vacuum is not knowledge. As related to Susie's post. ;)

As far as the original question regarding the posted vid.....I see lots of fight drive from this pup, and "bullying" behaviour as would be expressed in a sibling interaction. Not necessarily dominance, or reluctance to submit as would be tested in the typical test of rolling pup onto back and holding it there to see the struggle and submit....or not.

Good observation Koots. My view however is that genetics plays a strong role in that puppy's response even if we were to assume that the behavior is learnt.
