That dog is clearly stressed out. But why doesn’t it just remove itself from the situation?

Loyalty. He wants to run for the hills but his human is still there and very much in danger so he's being a good boy and staying to defend if things go awry.

He gets pets at the end and probably wants to make sure his owner is okay.

I had a baby tiger for 4 months as a teen for work and acclimating it and my dog was basically prio #1

Then they played like litter mates.

Joe Exotic or whatever the fuck Tiger King's name was.

He'll get the Tiger addicted to meth and try to make them gay.

ACD are SO loyal to their human. Mine is a red, and she’ll definitely ride with me to hell and back without a 2nd thought of her own well being!
