I vividly recall one time a largish dog took on my Dad. My Dad wasn't a big man, but he was a delivery man for a meat packing company, and I've seen him sling a beef quarter on his shoulders with no effort. Anyway, the dog had his jaws tight on Dad when Dad reached down, grabbed the dog by the scrotum and lifted him up at arm's length.
Instant dog paralysis. (Yeah, I'd have frozen, too!)
I never forgot that and filed it away for possible use. Be just my luck to get attacked by a female...
