dog attacks

[Pit Chick]

I was being facetious. But if some pitbull was attacking me or my dog to the point where it was going to cause great bodily harm would I resort to that? Absolutely.

Why just a Pit Bull? You wouldn't shoot any other dog that was causing great bodily harm to you or your dog or do you think that only Pit Bulls are capable of such things. Nothing has even been said about what the Pit Bull actually did, if it was even a Pit Bull. I've heard many different versions of what people consider an attack: a dog nips it's an "attack", a dog jumps on someone it's an "attack", a dog looks at someone funny it's an "attack".

Check the first post of this thread: A Pit Bull attacking. We got to this point because of the material in the first post. Don't flame for the sake of flaming.

I carry muzzle mace. Not sure if it really works because I've never had to use it (thank God).

I heard once (not sure if it was on this board or not), but I heard you should carry one of those LOUD horns. Have you ever been to a hockey game or a football game and somebody has one of those LOUD air horns? I heard you can scare away a dog with one of those. But then again, you'd scare just about anything with one of those horns (myself included). I've thought about looking into getting one of those horns but I'm not sure where you buy them.

Pitt chick, the Pittbull came aggresivively (sp?) running towards her dog(and her) with no owner in site (until the very end did he show up)

He opened mouth bit, growled, and basically tried to fight her dog for no reason, when she finally ran to somes strangers yard for safety with her dog the Pitt chased after them and stuck his face in between the fence still being aggresive, then the owner came around the corner and said she was in heat, with no apology or anything, she also lives in Detroit, so around here there are plenty of untrained unloved Pitts and strays of all sorts of breed, & no matter what the breed they will attack ur dogs, there have been a lot of reports on pack dogs just killing peoples dogs & cats around here, its quite sad, i also get kinda scared to walk my dogs in my neighbord hood for this reason, because it has happened to me too, but i have also encoutner stray lovable Pitts who i picked up in my car and brought to shelters. But that one was not aggresive just a love bug.
