My Dad got attacked by a fox hound when I was young. Dog had him by the left arm, and Dad reached down, grabbed the dog by the balls and held him at arm's length. Dog let go and went absolutely rigid as a board (so would I!)
I doubt one could lift a large dog that way, but hold enough weight up by its testicles, and you will get its attention. No dangly bits? You're in Plan B land.

Years ago, in my more athletic days, I was in Tae Kwon Do practice sparring with a cocky little 18 year old blackbelt. I did a front kick at him just as he was moving, and my foot went straight up between his legs and connected squarely, and firmly, with his "dangly bits". Danged if he didn't do the exact same thing, eyes glazed over, froze like a board, and hit the ground. I don't think he even took a breath for like 2 minutes.............

Stay on your feet. If you fall off them, jump back up like your azz is spring loaded.
Get pizzed. Like just walked in on the wife banging your best friend pizzed. And get aggressive. I've not had to physically try to fight a dog off since I was a kid, but have had a few come for me or my kid. As soon as I saw the intent, I charged at them. They either turned or stopped in their tracks.
Will it work against a pit or other determined fighting breed? Not sure, but it can't hurt to make a move toward them, keep your balance, and display aggression. I've warded off a dobie, a couple shepherds with it, and some mutts with it. The doberman, fortunately for him, stopped about a foot off the muzzle of a Smith snub-nosed model 10. It stopped when I moved forward and then stood my ground, even though I was in his territory (walking down the sidewalk in front of his unfenced yard) and fully entered his territory to advance toward him. A shepherd with eyes on my young kid changed course when I picked up a brick out of the planter and charged forward. Puttin' on a show and snarling up a storm as he turned and left the AO, but left he did.
The old man was in the AKC, raised and bred huskies, and spent years around a lot of dogs. He'd taught us the "give them the weak arm, strong arm behind the neck and snap like your life depends on it" routine. Hope to hell I never have to try that one. But if I do, and it doesn't work, I'll be eye gouging, and putting boot to the bottom jaw like I'm getting paid by the kick.
The worst dog attacks I've seen on video or anywhere else were when someone left their feet. It might hurt like hell to stay on your feet with a dog latched on the arm or elsewhere, but you gotta stay on your feet if possible.
Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.
I understand you have to do what you have to do But if you could have a direction how do you neutralize/defend from a pit or something aggressive like that barehanded?
Im especially interested in answers dealing with a PB attached to another person like a frail old lady or child, im not sure pickup/body-slams or using ones other free arm to break its neck in a special manoeuvre, applies in such cases.

I don't know if it would work on pit bulls, but I've reached with my free hand from underside of jaw and crushed the lips of dog against their back teeth with my thumb and fingers until they let go. A few times. Have had lots of scuffles with big dogs, but no pit bulls

get a short stick and stick it in the corner of the jaw to break its grip, have done this on pits that were fighting each other.

Pick it up by it's rear legs and make a wish.

my answer in an earlier thread was a Louisville Slugger. Your are not going to break a PB's neck, you will need to break his jaw if he has a hold of something or pry it open like Roger is saying
I agree with those who pointed out you may win but its probably going to hurt
Hank
it will hurt after the fact, while its going down you won't have time to think about pain.

nothing 'text book' in these mixed encounters but some seem to work OK...
sometimes a couple punches will do it, sometimes not, ..a taser can do it instantly, others times even two shots from a taser seem to have no immediate effect,..
tells me most 'techniques' are just a crapshoot...

Let him clamp down on your week arm then reach for your knife clipped to your pocket( hopefully it is assisted opening) and slit throat and then go to stabbing.
^^^This was my first thought, since this scenario was defending against a Pit Bull attack without a gun.
I've always got a Switch Blade with a 5" dagger type double edged blade clipped to my jeans pocket. I'd be a throat slashing dog stabbing sob until the dog lets go or is dead. That would be my game plan, if I'm without a gun.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
a good pit or any other heavy dog is going to do a chit load of damage before you can bleed them out from stabbing or cutting and you will most likely need to pry their jaws open in death. If you are one of the folks that is hesitant in confrontations (fights) with another person that dog will own your azz
