I should have known better
Feel really bad to expose my dog to this. My friend has decades of experience with animals and is very sorry she did this. Her son adopted the dog and joined the USMC and left dog with her.
Never trust a pit or pit breed
You did good, Mr. Sorry to hear of the stress, pain, misery and anxiety.
I had a 120 lb cane corso type monster pit bull try the same with my gsp female years ago. A vicious kick to its short ribs let my dog get away as it broke the dogs O2 for a few seconds.
I would not have thot about going for the eyes or ears.
Too bad you didnt have a Bowie or hatchet at hand.
