How to Defeat a Pit Bull with Your Bare Hands.
I'm in people's yards all day - constantly meeting new dogs - and I love them, mostly. Over the years I have been attacked by a German Shepard, a Rott, a Lab, pulled a German Shepard off a kid, and once took my friend's awesome Rott on a walk, on a leash, when he unexpectedly lunged at a bicyclist and literally tore flesh from the man's ribs. That one was eventually put down after randomly biting a kid. But IMO the big dogs, when they charge you aren't nearly as scary as the little ones. A Rott jumps at me; I shove my arm in his mouth, but I confess when small dogs rush me I usually run.
So what I want to know is how to defend yourself against a pack of tiny dogs. Three times I have been attacked; twice by Boston Terriers, once by Chihuahuas. They jump up and bite and run in a circular pattern, leaving me bleeding from numerous contusions and bruises below the knees. I kick, stomp, punch and never connect with the little bastards, while the owner inevitably screeches "don't you hit my dogs!"
@202 "how about just banning all dogs over 25 lbs within city limits? "
yeah right.
