You were lucky. Pit Bulls usually press their attack, impervious to pain. SHOOT THEM ALL.
Probably wasn’t a pitbull. If it was I doubt this attack would have went as the OP described. I see this all of the time, people assuming a dog is a pit when it isn’t. My in-laws are guilty of it. The dog next door is some kind mutt, but to them, it’s a pit.
