I know what you mean. I either go along with the joke like "yup, he makes a tasty snack!" or I might say something like "better look out - he is a huge dog inside a small body"...or whatnot.
It's funny bc once a big-dog person actually owns a small dog, they then seem to totally understand that there really is no such thing as a "small dog".
