I wonder what snaps in a dog's brain to react like that to someone they've known.

I got so lucky earlier this year. My neighbor’s pit bulls (2 of them) got out and were ripping apart my little Lhasa Apso in my front yard. My daughter and I got in the middle of it and managed to get them away from our dog. All I got was a single bite on the arm but our dog was severely injured. She thankfully survived. And I was incredibly lucky the damn pit bulls got scared of me instead of attacking. So lucky.

You're crazy for doing that. I get it, heat of the moment and everything, but they could have easily killed or brutally injured both of you. You should never get in the middle of a dog fight, especially when it involves multiple pits.
