Quoted: Let me try to explain what happened a little better. Guy says "He'll bite you". I turn to the right and saw the dog approximately 15' away, at which point he charged. By the time I was backing up to create distance he was on me and I lifted my right leg to kick that fucker. He latched on and spun me on the loose gravel and I went down. I was trying to keep him away from my face/throat and he grabbed my left hip. Owner stepped in and I staggered back to my unit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: What's this "I raised my leg to brace" business? Do you mean you lifted one foot off the ground? If so, that's probably why the dog knocked you down. Honestly, having dealt with dogs my entire life I've never heard of that technique, and would consider it to be dangerous, as it gives the animal more easy access to your face and throat. Glad you're ok, I hope you heal up fast! Let me try to explain what happened a little better. Guy says "He'll bite you". I turn to the right and saw the dog approximately 15' away, at which point he charged. By the time I was backing up to create distance he was on me and I lifted my right leg to kick that fucker. He latched on and spun me on the loose gravel and I went down. I was trying to keep him away from my face/throat and he grabbed my left hip. Owner stepped in and I staggered back to my unit. Got it. An attempted kick at a charging dog, specially a large breed, is a gamble, if you connect you can turn the attack, if you miss you're down and if you're unlucky, he's on your chest tearing at your face or throat. I'd rather have both feet on the ground and fend off the attack with my arms and body, but in the heat of the moment the natural reaction seems to be to kick at the dog. Once the animal launches itself, it's pretty easy to steer them away from you, but it does take a cool head and it's damn hard not to get bit at least once. |

He was a good dog, and didn't do nothing. He was just getting into obedience school.

Stop being so rational and calm, this is arfcom, everyone else would have killed the whole neighborhood because they tolerated a pit bull and a criminal living among them. |

I just saw the strangest looking dog I've seen. While driving through the neighborhood I saw a guy walking what looked like a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I stopped to see the dog. He said it was a shelter dog, mix. When the dog turned around his face was pure pit. It was on a lead and he let it come to the car so I could pet it out of my window. That went well, but when I started to pull off the dog snarled and lunged at me, acted like he wanted to rip my face off. Don't know what pissed him off. ha.

Damn, that ain't worth a fuck. Hope you don't have to ride the rabies "shot" train, cause that would suck.

I'm truly a dog lover, but have a special mistrust of pits. I'm glad things turned out okay for you no worse than they did for you, next time, shoot. To save yourself at least. Be careful man. |

Damage certainly could be worse OP. Hope your recovery is quick.
I got attacked by a German Shepard when I was a kid. Very very bad experience, |

You sound like a solid guy, I'm sorry you got hurt. Thanks for what you do.

Quoted: Went to an animal complaint, with the intent to also arrest the owner on an active warrant. Made contact with perp, who I have a good rapore with. Asked if the dog got loose. "Ya....watch out he's right there and he will bite you." Turn ansee tan/white pit who proceeds to charge. I raise my right leg to brace, he latches onto my calf and takes me down. We scuffle, he bites my left hip,. Owner comes to my aid grabbing him by the throat I scramble to my unit and radio for ems. Just left the hospital with 10 stitches. View Quote That sucks, hope you heal quickly |

But GD told me if cops don't shoot all dogs on sight, then the dog will kill the cop instantly. How did you survive?
Glad you're ok OP Edit: spellings |

Sorry to hear. Don't blame the breed though blame the owner. Kinda like the whole blaming the gun ideology.
My Pitt is the most gentle dog I've ever owned. But then again I raised her correctly. |

Glad you're mostly ok OP.
Stay safe when you get back to duty. |

Title is incorrect. There is only one breed of peace, infurdel.
There is only one dog and muthammed is his prophet. |
