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.
Can you send your dad round to my house? My fiancee's cat does my nut in. banghead

Christmas 2014 our Bulldog and Huskey/Malamute had a set to. Not the first but by far the worst.
As I held back the Bulldog and my daughter the HM, somehow I ended up on one knee and the Bulldog in its rage decided that my leg must belong to the HM.
It took me quite a few seconds to get his teeth out of my thigh at which point it realized its mistake and complete recovered from its red mist.
Apart from the fact that certain breeds have very powerful jaw muscles, I would not like to be the actual target of a raged dog of that type.

The flesh on my thigh was torn and, shall we say, a bit of a mess.
On the positive side and as pointed out by the nurse, responding to my flinching as she cleaned me up, a couple more inches up and to the right and I would have been smarting even more. Every cloud and all that.

I suggest we hit it with a targeted leaflet campaign.

Get a Chihuahua and a Yorkie next time, smaller bites and only to the shin.

What have you done with them long term, do you keep them separate of have they been to Acas or something ?

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

So what's your preferred solution?
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?
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!
Do we have any vets on PH?



It looks like the main aortic vessel is well protected by the spine and the brachial/femoral arteries look tricky (using human anatomy as reference terms). Jugular looks doable though.

So, using science, I would suggest, get a 3-6" blade of some description, or maybe even a car key held in the palm with the blade through the finger, and repeatedly stab the fker in the anteriolateral side of the neck until it starts bleeding to death. Or, if possible hit it as hard as you possibly can with a heavy blunt instrument on the top of the spine, just forward of the rear legs where the vertebrae are smaller, to try and disrupt the spinal cord and knock out the rear legs, that might wake it up.

If you have keyless entry though, you are doomed.

Based on that, I guess fingering the arse will achieve nothing?

Considering one of our Staffies nearly tore a nipple off scratching a skin condition when we first got him I doubt it.

If you take a rescue dog, you are assessed to make sure the dog is going to a responsible owner. But you can easily buy a dog with no checks at all. I think there should be stricter restrictions around the buying and selling of dogs, and I say that having bought a dog before. They are too often becoming accessories for the local hardman, or cute presents that get sent to the pound 6 months later, and aside from the risk to kids & people it also worries other dog owners (our dog has been attacked before).

I "think" they meant the golf clubs were used to attempt to pry the jaws apart. I may be wrong or course, but I struggle to understand how such an animal would survive being beaten repeatedly with such a severity that the shafts of the clubs broke. Obviously though, this is outside of my area of expertise of both sporting goods and veterinary skills.
My first thought was how the hell did the dog survive beatings with 3 golf clubs resulting in broken shafts!?

What would I do? Adrenaline would probably result in me trying to pull it off and also losing my own hand/arm/life.

What I'd like to think would happen would be me punching it on the nose and it being KO'd.

Horrible situation to be in!

Don't know, but I'd have used each broken shaft to stab the fker.

Haha... You'll be able to observe the transit of your dismembered body parts as is passes through the system. Just make sure you bag it at the other end, and don't throw it in a bush.

I can just about understand the finger up the arse claims, but this is just seems unnecessary.
