Some video and analysis of a dog attack caught on camera where the man that was attacked was able to escape with just a few bites and the loss of a shoe. The author gives comments based on his experience and training in the military in dealing with dogs. You are probably more likely to be attacked (or threatened) by an aggressive dog than a criminal, and certainly more likely to be attacked by a dog than attacked by a bear or cougar in the woods, so this is important information.
VIDEO: "Good Lesson On Defending Yourself Against Dog Attack"

Ridiculous video unless you want to get bit saving the attacking dog's life. There's a lot of body language that doesn't require hands on and if that doesn't work you need to know how to kill the dog quickly because he's serious about hurting you.
ReplyDeleteMy Ruger SP101 will put down a dog quickly.
DeleteGuns work quite well in situations like this, but......don't discount the value of a 3"-4" fixed blade knife. The dog has self-identified as "a direct and immediate threat to life or severe bodily harm" (language from Florida statutes) Once you've got it pinned cut the throat. Keep it pinned for another sixty seconds and it's not a dog attack, it's a waste disposal problem.
ReplyDeleteThen call your attorney because both of you will get brand new boats as a result of the lawsuit.
Yep, good stuff.
ReplyDeleteReminds me that I need to start bringing a stick on walks.
Too many people are letting dogs off leash on public walking paths (or letting them have 50ft or more of leash), and I notice dogs are more likely to understand that a swung stick is dangerous to them than they are to recognize that a knife or foot is dangerous.
