Pit Bull attack, what would you do ?

Probably displaying some startling naivety here but this thread had been an eye-opener for me.

I didn't think dogs were as tough as they're being variously described here.

Jeez!

We have a little Terrier Cross thing called Rambo, he is only small but has the heart of a Lion, except when someone blows down a cardboard tube, then he sts himself and hides, however, when my kids play football in the garden with their mates, he joins in, a 14 pound dog vs a regulation football that weighs a pound, travelling at speed.

Anyway, have seen him hit by it, like me being hit by a 15 pound weight at speed and him utterly clattered by it, knocked way backwards, flipped over and does he stop to roll on the floor clutching his leg (if he could) like Ronaldo, no he just gets back up and carries on, totally focused on the ball as long as he has use of at least two of his legs and is still conscious, Dogs just get on with it, if I got hit by a 15 pound weight at speed I would probably have a week off.


Dogs are like Terminators, the wont stop, unless of course food is involved.

Seen any guard cats or signs that say beware of the rabbit.

Crap your pants and hopefully overloading the naughty pooch's sensitive nostrils.

Surprised he didn't just shoot them.

Probably wasn't carrying a book that he could have claimed he thought was a gun.

Sarcasm works well when punctuation is used correctly. Give it a try next time.

Secondly, there's a difference between knowing that dogs can be viscous and knowing they can take some of the punishment being described here.

Thirdly, I did preface my post by pointing out my naivety on the matter, but yes, well done for attempting to reinforce the point.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic, it was an observation that there is a reason that dogs are used to guard things.

Well, I'd say most dogs are fairly thick......

They aren't in reality. The issue is that there is often a gross mismatch in the desire to kill between the two parties involved. When a dog flips in such a way it is genetically and mentally set on a singular path of destruction. Few humans act in the same way by default. So in contrast, the human on the receiving end takes so long to come to the decision to kill the animal with total and utter brutality (if they ever do) that the dog has the upper hand.

Referencing the early story, when you hit a dog with a bat you kill it or break its spine. A single blow will deal with the situation. However, in reality, the human just won't be using the required force to do so due to being a normal functioning human.
