The last pit that attacked my dog and I tried breaking up with no weapon and there was nothing around to use as it was crushing my dogs neck and no time. I rammed my thumbs in it eye sockets as deep as I could go , it let go and it chomped down on my left hand and broke a few bones.
gun or a bat
A smack to the top of the head of that pit would have stopped that in a hurry. Folks these days are non decisive pussies.
a smack with your fist?
does that work on a pit?
Pull his ear and scold him.
If that doesn’t work, run faster than the other guys.
