Manic Mutt
A year or so ago a friend had their dog attacked while out for a walk. It resulted in surgery for their poor dog and lots of stress for my friend. I had it in my head that a good solid kick to the head was the way to go there. At the park today some manic lab went from bouncing happy to attack mode and started a fight with Mya. Turns out things happen a lot faster in real life and trying to aim a kick didn’t even enter my head. Went with the grapple and managed to get my hand caught a couple of times before I found it’s throat.
So now I don’t really have a plan. I no longer think kicking is going to work. Just wrestling a dog is pretty effective if you can get your hands on their neck and lift upwards. If a dog can’t get any piece of you in their mouth and you lift their front paws off the ground so they are trying to stand on their hind legs they are entirely screwed. However, getting near their neck is not all that easy. I think I was pretty lucky the dog wasn’t more aggresive or things could have gone much worse. I’m wondering if pepper spray would be effective. It’s kind of like a boot to the head. I would be tough to get one dog and not the other. I’m looking for suggestions.
