Except his didn't just "square up", he aggressively stepped towards the owner with a very threatening attitude and posture. That wasn't just getting ready to defend.

I would too. I'd be shouting things like "hey dickweed! If you like deliveries - ever - you're gonna control that dog."

But you can't see how the owner was approaching him. Could have been proportional.

The only approach I see is hands out in a "the fuck are you doing, dude" kind of way. Even if the owner ran out yelling, driver's response is over the top. Just keep walking away.

Yeah, audio really is needed to understand the situation.

The owner could have changed his stance after the guy reacted. Because it looked like he was just walking away at first.

bullies never expect to get an aggressive response so it immediately checks them
