This thread provides unending amusement from the number of heroes (in their fantasy worlds) who would pull apart the dog's chest, cut off its head, stab it to death, stick things up its bum or pull its rear legs. Each of you would end up with the dog biting your face off or make things worse for the person being attacked.

Really, whats the procedure then, wait until its finished and give it a Bonio ?

I am sure if even a large, powerful dog has hold of someone and isnt letting go, with the right weapon it is possible to disable or kill it, using fists or a stick wont work but something sharp would work if you are prepared to attack it with maximum prejudice whilst its mouth is full, would need to make it count and there is huge opportunity to get mauled by a big dog with a Breadknife embedded in its back that you have just distracted from mauling someone else.

As for getting one off that is attached to you, unlikely, probably just have to rely on appealing to its better nature.

I think Zod is just pointing out that it is utter horsest that somebody would cut a pit bull's head off with a bread knife while it was attacking, neither would they be grabbing its front legs and pulling them apart to burst the dog. I do thank you for this thread though, most of the replies are hilarious.

Exactly. You'd have to do something, but the confident claims some have made are laughable.

As a bystander seeing a pit bull attack, my first response shed some light on the correct method, shame it was so overlooked though.

I'd wade in, shouting the odds until I'd got the dog's attention. As soon as it turned to look at me, I'd launch in with Ronnie or Reggie...A bit of serious chin-piston action and I don't care what breed you are - you're going down.

If he wasn't smart enough to stay down, I'd do one of those SAS takedowns where you jump up and wrap your legs round their throat from behind and bring them down. Then it's good night Fido.

Boom, job done.

Would a strongly worded email work?

I suggested stabbing it with a big knife, if available, but you've dismissed that as well.

So what's your preferred solution?

Throw Lord Trumped Up to it?

12 gauge would work.

... and as for dogs being unpredictable, yes some are. Should all dogs be muzzled at all times in public, no, there is no need. If the owner is responsible they should muzzle the dog if it is a danger to others, be it people or other dogs.

My dog is not a danger to anyone so he doesn't wear a muzzle.

I say one must take off and nuke the entire dog from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The overwhelming probability if you don't stab the victim or cut yourself is that it would simply enrage the dog. How likely are you to penetrate the heart of a writhing dog?

[Halb]

Indeed. I've not been able to penetrate the heart of a woman yet.
Even with a box of chocolates.

Very unlikely indeed

But what's the alternative? What do you suggest?

What about penetrating a woman in the chocolate box?

I think stabbing a writing and enraged dog would be reasonably effective, not easy but its only flesh, it may take a little while to work though, which is the critical bit along with avoiding hitting bone and just cutting it.

I suppose its a very unlikely scenario for most of us who dont live in houses with a Pitbull in residence, usually owned by an uncle in a lot of the incidents.

[Halb]

chocolate box...made me chuckle.

Personally I think the dagger equation would end in disaster for most people who tried it.
Only last week (a story I referenced in this thread) a dog defended his owner from the knifey attack of a former/current deranged boyfriend. The dog eventually died from wounds, but it successfully defended it's owner and the guy was either killed by the dog or injured so severely he was unable to finish off the woman.

Come on chaps, keep up. You don't stab the dog, you simply slit it's throat. We all have a razor sharp hunting knife within arm's reach at all times, don't we? Frankly, if you're not comfortable slitting the throat of an enraged 30kg dog in full attack mode, you don't have any business being out of the house. It's just common sense!

I have a 5 foot long sword I should probably sharpen up just for this eventuality. Just because, you know, it is a twice daily occurrence. You can barely look at a staffie these days without it trying to maul you to death. Oh wait, I meant lick you to death. Hang the sword, I need face wipes actually!

My worst injury from an animal was from a cat, as a kid in a carpet shop of all places, fker was hiding on a roll of carpet and swiped at me and caught my ear, causing a bit of a cut which bled profusely, my dad went to grab it but it moved so he yanked the roll of carpet and it fell out of its hiding place, at which point he disembowelled it with a carpet knife, the last bit is a bit hazy though.

Who the hell has a trained feline assassin in an independent carpet shop, its funny, every time I go in a carpet shop I am scanning the rolls of axminster for ninja Moggies.

Maybe thats the answer for a Pitbull, dogs st out usually when an angry cat is involved, so carry a decent sized tabby in case of Pitbull attacks.
