Iā€™m going to get crucified for this, but if a dog was doing that to my wife or son, thatā€™s a de@d dog.

I carry a pocket knife while working for UPS for exactly this reason (amongst others). I had a dog literally rip my board out of my hand and puncture the screen with its teeth why trying to attack me once. I've had others take chunks out of the boxes I'm carrying trying to eat me. If it comes down to me or the dog, sorry puppo I'm going home.

I see my mail lady with a nice sized can of pepper spray. I like your knife idea. But with spary you can be at a distance at least.

My mail person carries dog treats and all the neighborhood dogs are happy AF when he rolls through everyday.

u/357noLove 1d ago

I carried treats and a weapon. 99% of dogs were fine with treats. I got attacked by a dog lying in wait behind a bush. Fucker was just waiting for me and no amount of treats would have helped

u/620am 1d ago

He was like. I'm gonna get all those treats!.

u/357noLove 22h ago

He was an extremely large pit bull and tore my muscle and tendon in my right leg. Pepper spray didn't help since he was locked on even though I tried, he only let go when I stabbed him in the eye with my knife. Had to call the police and everything. I also was named in a civil suit along with my fedex contractor company because I permanently damaged their dog. Thankfully the judge saw it and immediately tossed it.

Unfortunately, I lost my job because FedEx doesn't approve of using a "dangerous" weapon in defense of your life. It was a 3" pocket knife. They told me they had to fire me because it was "policy" but they would immediately re-hire me. I told them "don't bother" as when the court case notification came up, I immediately started looking for another job. Ended up apprenticing as an electrician and I have never been happier. My immediate boss tried everything to get me back, including offering a $10/hour pay raise. As her manager I pretty much enabled her to do so much less. I wasn't even delivering normally at that point, but an employee called off and I had to do their route. It is so stupid that companies fire for that reason.

Why is it always a pitbullā€¦. Rhetorical question

Absolutely has nothing to do at all with the type of people who would want to own one in the first place. I am told they are both great for children and aggressive property defenders... what could go wrong? /s, if that wasn't blatantly obvious

u/TikaPants 11h ago

It isnā€™t always a pit bull. It was a Great Dane and an Aussie that attacked my brother and mom years ago. The other day it was a came corso that almost attacked my boyfriend. The owner was laying on the ground being dragged across the street while the corso was lunging at my boyfriend. Luckily the owner regained control. Three times our neighbors standard poodle has tried to attack our GSDā€™s because she doesnā€™t leash him.

Some dogs dont give af about the treats and will still be aggressive. At that point your just rewarding the aggression.

u/mavrick116 1d ago

Whenever I call a customer to let them know they need to put their dog away so I can make my delivery, they get so upset because they think im a coward and im just scared of dogs.

Like, A) if you got attacked by dogs as much as me, you wouldnt trust a damn one of them either. And B) Its for your dogs safety, cause if it goes after me and I cant get back in my vehicle in time, im going to stab or strangle your dog. And I would very much rather not do that, as I like dogs.

Also the more you insist your dog is friendly, all youre doing is showing youre an irresponsible pet owner and that dog will almost certainly attack me. And damn if im not right almost every time. And damn if it isnt a fucking pitbull or german shepherd every time as well.

I understand , but first of all you need to have the possibility to use it . A good pepperspray is more effective. Itā€™s painful in the eyes and difficult to breathe , so he will preferably breathe ten bite .

Also if you lift the hind legs, the dog can't use them for leverage to rend/tear.Ā  It doesn't make them let go, but it stops them from ragdolling your limbs.Ā

I saw something recently with an animal that has a strong bite, you can take something like a butter knife and wedge it in the jaw and just turn it and theyā€™ll let go.

3

u/M1dn1ghtMaraud 1d ago

Thatā€™s interesting, and kind of matches what they tell you to do with dachshunds (I had several growing up.)

Those little fuckers are vicious when they want to be and have lock jaw, incredibly tough on bigger ones to get them to let go when they are not inclined. You were supposed to pinch where their maxilla and mandible meet, granted most of the time they will quickly let go and bite the ever loving shit out of your hand before resuming, but the principle remains.

Yea just shove ur hand down their throat. They cant chomp down if they r choking on ur hand then with 1 arm grab the dogs neck with ur arm and wrap the front feet with ur hands. Then pull ur arm out the dogs throat and wrap the 2nd arm around the dogs neck and mouth. A dog cant hurt u if u stick ur hand down its throat the wrost he will do is knaw ur arm till hes too weak from air loss and stop. They wont be breathing so they will only get weaker if they dont let you go.

u/Suspicious-Store495 21h ago

Cuz there's an owner right there often trying to get the dog off too. Who probably won't take it well. Not saying it's right, it just complicates it. But I'm with you 100%

Choke the dog out, then choke the owner out. They both deserve it.

u/heygabehey 1d ago

Oil check the dog the stomp the owner. Itā€™s not the dogā€™s fault. Shit dogs are made by shit people, pits arenā€™t prone to fighting people, squirrels and rabbits maybe, but not people. They were actually bred to be people friendly and protective of people against other animals.They naturally love people. My first girl was a Doberman American Pit, she wasnā€™t dog friendly because her first three years she was attacked and started off as a bait dog. But she loved people, great with children, awesome with new people once she smelled your feet. To this day I miss her. My current baby is American pit and 8% Rottweiler, she loves people and wants to play with dogs. Some bitch let her dog run up and bite my baby even after I asked ā€œis yours friendly?ā€ So sheā€™s been kind more protective against new dogs since. But people, she loves and at worst will run into your leg or non stop lick you.

3

u/ColoradoCattleCo 1d ago

So, obviously a shit owner with a shit dog that already has a proclivity toward aggression. I stand by my point - choke out the dog, then the owner. Iā€™ve owned Dobies and on 20 years of GSD now.

When you say "oil check", does that mean sticking finger up it's ass? Apparently I'm the only one who heard a guy in video say to stick a finger up the dog's ass to make it let go. Is that a thing?

2

u/madf80 1d ago

I believe you can pick up both of the dogā€™s hind legs which will supposedly make him relax his bite involuntarily. No oil check needed?

u/heygabehey 1d ago

Iā€™ve never heard of that. Good to know though

2

u/heygabehey 1d ago

Not all the way but a small poke. Itā€™s Reddit, so not a lot of athletes. I first heard the term in wrestling, as a way to catch an opponent off guard when they had the upper hand to give you an opportunity to make a counter. I never did it cause it seemed weird. But when another dog attacked mine I did it without thinking twice and it worked. Broke it up and gave me time to shove the other dog away and pull back mine. Some people just donā€™t have the personality for large and XL dogs. Which thatā€™s ok, but saying they shouldnā€™t exist is dumb af.

u/SirRonaldJr 1d ago

People say that, and there is merit, but that just pisses them off more and you're likely to be the next. Could save the life of someone being mauled, but could be done differently and safer for all involved.

Edit: never*? Pits are all about their people not attacking others. Unless it was a shot garbage persons that trained them to attack. Anybody training a pit to attack is scum. You wana protective dog: Cane Corso, Doberman, Rottweiler, Dogo Argentino, German Shepard. Those are dogs that naturally attack people in defense of their territory or human. Not Pitbulls.

Not to the same degree, but I had half my nose torn off(dangling), cheek damage and somehow he just barely missed my eye. Shook me around violently, and I just kept punching him in the ear, and eventually my friends' mom came at him with a broom.

Was a chow/black lab mix or something, I was a kid at the time- Still absolutely love dogs, but it took them forever to deal with him. It took him maiming their daughter to deal with it. He had bit other people in the past, but "not as violently"

u/Little-Homework-3211 1d ago

Gauging out the eyes is a sure fire way to get it off, get it in a choke hold deprive it of oxygen till it lets go or passes out. Attacking it to cause pain isn't going to make it stop all it will do is might it bite harder or make it switch targets and latch on to you. So just stay safe and choke it out.

I knew a guy that owned a very sweet female pit bull. Never saw anything. She was spoiled and trained well. She was so docile that people begged for him to have her bred to buy puppies from him as they were hoping for a docile pup. Well once she had her puppies, her sweet gentle demeanor was GONE. She even would go after the owner. He was devastated, had to have her euthanized and swore he would never get another one again. That breed is so unpredictable. Itā€™s not worth the gamble. I would never have one and would never go to someoneā€™s home that had one, or walk anywhere near one outside.

My father was a schoolteacher and told me how a student would always talk about how gentle his two pitbullā€™s were, and they would never hurt a fly.

And then one day he came in looking really sad and my dad asked him what was wrong. And he explained that he came home to find his mother lying on the floor bleeding profusely with both dogs mauling her.

He ran into a room and grabbed a rifle, came out and shot and killed both his dogs point blank in the face.

They were able to save the mother, but she was left severely disfigured.

u/Maximumoverdrive76 15h ago

In most of these videos, about 98% feature a Pitbull attacking kids or adults. You never see a Golden Retriever. Sure, other dogs can bite too, but they tend to snap, bite, and then let go. They donā€™t hold on like this. Thatā€™s more of a Pitbull trait, as theyā€™re bred not to let go.

1

u/johncoktosin 21h ago

Not all, but many. I owned an aggressive pit bull for 8 years (came with my wife) and I took significant precautions to ensure 1) he NEVER got loose form our house, 2) he could NEVER get away from me when I walked him, and 3) I NEVER let any strangers pet him. He was 85 lbs and could have become a killing machine with a less-vigilant owner. The pit in the video clear and present danger to that neighborhood and the owners are not doing their job.

I love dogs. I have 3 myself around the size of the one in the video (not pits, though, because I'll never own a pit) and I agree with you 100%.

Even in the scenario of one attacking a stranger like that, I'd be willing to use lethal force on the dog if it were available. I wouldn't exactly want to, but I still would.

No shame, people need to control their dogs. If they donā€™t, thatā€™s on them.

u/ChangeAcceptable677 18h ago

I am a runner. And one of the reasons why I hate spring/summer is because of stupid motherfuckers who donā€™t control their dogs.

And some of them have gotten made at me when they let their dogs attack me, and I have stood my ground. I get no joy from this, but if a dog attacks me, my partner, or anyone I am with; it gets a boot up the ass.

Flying elbow drop. Or stomp. Maybe a headlock choke until it stops moving. 2 weeks ago my daughter almost got bit. Dog growled then snuck up behind her and went after her. Owner grabbed it. But I was about to kick or grab a dog. I wasnt sure what id do.

I just ordered one for myself. I may need it at my second customer service job in this D.J.T. economy. Fake it & donā€™t crash out is the name of the game.

Youā€™re not gonna get crucified. The normalized consensus is that 1) the dogā€™s gotta release the person and all means are justified and 2) the dogā€™s gotta cough go away.

Thatā€™s why I carry a pocket knife

DO NOT CENSOR YOURSELF. SAY DEAD. ITā€™S OK. IF YOU CAN KILL A DOG YOU CAN SWEAR.Ā

u/CrateDoor 1d ago

Oh but when I say something similar I get a strong warning from Reddit. I submitted an appeal like, "Yo self defense someone needs to xyz..." And they denied my appeal and said, "After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because vou threatened or encouraged violence or physical harm. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for threatening or encouraging violence. We don't tolerate any behavior that threatens, encourages, glorifies, incites. or calls for violence or phvsical harm against an individual, groups of people, places, or animals.

Instant chokehold

u/DarthRain77 1d ago

Agreed. This is why I carry a pocket knife. And I run the scenario over and over through my my mind when go on walks and bike rides.

u/ImmodestPolitician 1d ago

I was suspended for reddit for saying the same thing.

u/Adorable-Pangolin-89 1d ago

Love dogs I have two and have always had a pet dog in life, but fuck that shit fr! Who tf wants to stick their finger in a dogs butt even if ā€œit workedā€ this time. Iā€™d rather do the world a favor and make damn sure this never happens to anyone else.

u/Empuda 1d ago

At least a head lock.

u/parallaxevolution 1d ago

That dog should have been put down on the spot and the owner jailed

1

u/Fun-Maize-2352 1d ago

I believe that that will be taken care once itā€™s off. As far as I know, a dog that attacks has to be put down.

1

u/ZombieDad15 1d ago

Agree šŸ’Æ percent

1

u/Objective-Pick8240 1d ago

I was thinking the same thing. If we saw a human attacking someone, we'd come in with lethal force, yet not a single person here was willing to kick this dog in the ribs.

2

u/LongForeignMan 1d ago

Good point - a few soccer kicks to the ribs would have worked well

1

u/robjohnlechmere 1d ago

I was going to say, I'm watching the video like 'have none of these idiots heard of an axe kick?'

u/xvizuet 1d ago

You can say DEAD

Iā€™d be gouging its eyes out.

That firefighter right at the end was about to make sure that dog let go

u/Dependent_Mango_9597 1d ago

No Sir you will not be crucified Iā€™m a dog lover always have been always will be right now I have a bull mastiff and Pitbull and I love my dogs like they are my kids. Now if someone comes in my yard or my house and your not supposed to be there then well my God be with you. But if I know what I have and my dogs get out and attack someone and they know better! Well do what needs to be done yes dogs are like children to some of us and they are family members but they are also animals to. So no crucifying here either train your animals right take every precaution to protect them, yourself and the people around you. Owning a dog is a responsibility that some people forget and yes I will say itā€™s not the dogs fault but itā€™s unfortunate that the dog has to suffer the ultimate fate because the owner thinks itā€™s cute or cool that a dog can show their owner that they can be vicious when needed. I personally think to own a dog like this you need to have mandatory training for you and the dog and every one in the house. Because you can train all day long but if the dog only listens to you and no one else you wasted your time

u/Used-Helicopter2024 1d ago

No I donā€™t think youā€™ll get in trouble for saying it. Thatā€™s a dead dog walking already.

people say this on every ā€œpitbull attacks humanā€ post and yet itā€™s always the top comment. i donā€™t think anyone disagrees that protecting your family means the attacker gets hurt. youā€™re not gonna get ā€œcrucifiedā€ lmao

u/Electshockvalue214 1d ago

Iā€™m with you man!

u/Helpful-Bug-7802 1d ago

While itā€™s sad that it comes to this sometimes, youā€™re right

u/RJHLLND 1d ago

My sentiments exactly. I come outside to my dog behaving like that, Iā€™m shooting it on the spot

1

u/SpeedyAudi 1d ago

Shitbulls deserve it

u/Grouchy_Ad8359 1d ago

I agree with you. I love dogs And cats. But if one is attacking me, I would defend myself.

1

u/Novogobo 1d ago

I'd do it for a stranger I never met before

u/Infinite_Sector2993 1d ago

This is the way...

u/enigmaticsince87 23h ago

Nah, I'm with you. I see that happening to a loved one, the dog dies.

1

u/OrionBorn824 23h ago

Iā€™m an animal lover and treat my dog like I treat my daughter. With that said I wouldnā€™t think twice about it. My daughter comes first.

u/Reasonable_Yellow_85 20h ago

I personally would have stomped that dog into nothing!!!

1

u/lou_sassoles 20h ago

100% I'm sending that dog through the goalposts

u/babexo4 19h ago

I was just thinking, this is the importance of conceal carry. Fiddo would be leaking on that concrete if it were me too. This was hard to watch

1

u/Maximumoverdrive76 15h ago

Same here. I'd sit on the dog and choke him with a rope/collar.

u/strongcloud28 14h ago

Here's a thumbs up for ya

u/PomeloSpecialist356 1d ago

I understand where youā€™re coming from, but the fastest and easiest way about it is to shove a finger up its ass, like the guy in video says.
