Yep, we must have a hearing before deciding if two killer dogs will be put down.  progress. I say put the owners down.

Dog are predators just like humans are , if you run from them, then they only see you as prey , stand your ground and then they have second thoughts unless they sense the fear in you. Carry a knife if you can't carry a pistol, no better weapon at FACE TO FACE Combat with animal or human. Excellent idea! I'll start carrying a knife in case I run out of ammo. One of the places I run has trails trough the woods and I run into a lot of women that are walking 2 or more big dogs. They are on leashes but they have a hard time controlling them and especially if I am running towards them. The dogs see me as a threat and get all excited. Many times the women have had to drag them of the trail into the woods until I pass even if I stop running until I pass them.

I'd rather have a gun, but it's pretty hard to pack much of a gun when running due to the weight of the gun and the jarring of your feet hitting the ground. For that reason the knife idea has some merit. I've got one of these that would work pretty well for the purpose- ![[Linked Image]](http://www.4discountknives.com/images/SW990.jpg) Lightweight and inexpensive and stays put pretty well. Adding a lanyard to the skeleton handle would probably be a good idea to help keep from losing it in a scrap. Still rather have the gun, though.

I use finely crafted cocobolo nunchucks on the local dogs.
Sure, it's a little more wood then needed, but I've never had a penetration problem.

I've sprayed a lot of dogs.
It's never not worked. If I'm on foot I invariably have one or more of my heelers with me, in part because IME inbound vicious dogs will focus on them rather than me. In the past twelve years or so I must have had hundreds of run ins with loose dogs, almost all of which can be bluffed off with eye contact, body language and loud reprimands. Two pits, one boxer, two rottweilers, and one big yellow mutt: All I can recall off the top of my head where I actually had to resort to bear spray. I must be forgetting a couple of instances, I thought I had used it eight times. Worked every time, it seems the sudden blast startled them as much as anything. The cans shoot low though, so aim at the dog's tail over the back if you want to catch them in the face. ~fifty bucks each time to replace, but still cheaper than the vets or an emergency room visit, and much less potential legal hassle than shooting someone's dog.

Birdwatcher If I can spray an aggressive dog, I do. If for no other reason I think it might help instill a bit of fear into the dog regarding humans. Plus I just like spraying them. Texas is overrun with stray dogs, and San Antonio is fuggin' horrible. When I lived in Uvalde I'd run past certain homes that I knew had some worthless POS sitting in the front yard. Their dogs would usually be sitting there with them. As you ran by they'd give chase and I'd go full sprint mode. When they get right up to your heels you just hold that can over the opposite side hip and let 'er rip. Watch those stupid fuggs just roll and yip and ki-yi. I loved it. I like to think they go straight home and rub that schit all over the owner and the owner's belongings. It's the little things life that keep us happy. The little things... Travis

A golf club would have left the owner with some vet bills and a more loving animal.

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.

I read this story a few days ago and had to look up Cane Corso. Essentially an Italian Mastiff ~100 lbs avg. I think this one is heavier. ![[Linked Image]](http://elmesquitalcanecorso.com/images/carlos/DSC06392th.jpg)

Like I said, some hood rat's untrained dog and one that his literally been trained to kill your azz, or just naturally has it in him to do just that, is another story.

I am a firm believer that if someones dog/dogs kill an innocent person, the dog owner should face manslaughter charges.
If the dog/dogs in question have a history of violence, and proper restraints were not used (like the ones in this story), 2nd degree murder.
