U.S. woman may need rabies shots after biting pit bull to save her own dog

Oh he$$..why didn't I think of that?

Rabies shots aren't like they used to be. No more tummy muscle. In the arm/leg muscle. As a needle phobic, they weren't that bad. I survived.Expensive though, but better than the alternate.

She is incredibly lucky the dog didn't chomp down on her face.

The one dog fight I tried to break up ending with me getting my fingernail ripped off. It hurt a lot, but I think it would hurt a lot more to lose your nose.

I guess a gut survival instinct kicked in.
I would have probably done the same for mine if in the same situation.

Karen, I think we're glad you didn't!

Wow, just think about it.... there's a dog latched onto your dog, and you bend down in the dogs face and BITE it!

I'm glad she and Ella are okay. I know I'd do crazy things if need be to save one of my dogs, but I don't know that biting the dog on the nose would be the first thing that would come to mind. I'd be looking for a ball bat or a 2x4.
