Carry a knife if you can't carry a pistol, no better weapon at FACE TO FACE Combat with animal or human.
Haven't really given that much thought before. What would be a good style of knife to use on a pitbull?
One big enough to slot his azz. Kneel and brace one leg behind you. You have to give him your support arm to chew. When he takes the arm. start cutting his abdomen if you can reach it or his neck.
Having said that, if it is a 100lb Malinois or an even bigger Rott, even if you are braced as well as possible, he'll likely bowl you over if he's been trained to do that. You are most likely toast at that point without a lucky stab.
