Girlfriend forced to shoot own dog to save boyfriend

[Nash B.]

She didn't do enough to stop the situation. She could have offered it treats, or it's favorite toy. She probably should have shot it in the leg first. Or at least bite it back using and equal level of force. The dog didn't have a gun, so she really wasn't in fear of her life or the boyfriends.

Agreed. We'd really need to hear the dog's side of the story anyways.

That's just make everything wet and you basically hope that the dog loses its grip on you which it more than likely won't.

and slippery...the bf would've had an even harder time trying to gain a foothold. He was already having a hard time pinning the dog to the floor. PLUS, think of how many bites can take place in the time it takes to run to the kitchen, find the biggest pitcher, wait for it to fill up, then you toss it on the dog hoping they don't move right as your throw the water.

They made the right call...

And I'm no dog whisperer or anything, but I doubt an untrained dog is going to give sh!t about treats once it goes into attack mode.

All you have to do is go to the garage and get a pair of vice grips and put it on the dog's balls. You'll have his complete attention from there on out.

Zaplite! 1 mil volts would do the job. $60 at your local Cabelas.

just real quick...... am i the only one that has no doubt i could stop a 100lb dog attack in mere seconds??? maybe i'm wrong, but then again i am only #2 BJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

god bless.

I hope you're kidding. I've been bitten by an 85 pound pit that later we found out was seized from a fighting ring. He had hold of my lab pup by the back of the neck. The owners weren't around, so when I tried to get him to turn loose, he snapped at me. Luckily I got my hand away and only had severe a severe bite across one finger. It was gashed well. He then latched back on my dog. The pit was on a log chain which I ended up using to choke the dog after twisting his collar enough to make him let go of my lab. Then I wrapped the log chain around his neck and pulled as tight as I could, held the dog up with one arm, and walked out of his range before letting go.

I have no idea how I was able to do that other than adrenaline. My finger was mauled pretty badly and bleeding everywhere. There is no way my wife or some kid could have gotten away from that dog. If it had latched on to me instead of my pup, I'm not sure I could've gotten away from it. Shooting the dog in the article was the right thing to do, especially since it had a history of aggression. I don't know why people continue to have those breeds of dog in their house.

I believe we're both harping on SSJunk's responses to the police shooting video/thread.

Okay. Haven't seen that thread. Carry on.

You might be picturing fighting a 100lb human when you say that. Humans feel pain. Dogs do not in attack mode. Unless that human is drugged up he's going to go down and let go of you a lot quicker than a dog will...

I heard some feedback on the radio and one person said they should've tried a bucket of water and that it didn't matter what was happening shooting the dog was completely unnecessary.

LOL! Not surprised to see you say something like that in this thread.

[Cooter]

when they latch on, it's tough to get them to let go... I was at the dog park and watched this white trash dude trying to get his pit bull to let go of a boxer it was clamped down on. he cut his fingers up trying to pry the dog's jaws open. He had to choke the dog out to get it to let go.

I had my blade out and was like "if you want me to get that dog to let go, just say the word". He was sitting there strangling him and said "as soon as he passes out, he'll let go"

Stay classy pit bull owners!

When my mom had her dogs out in the country, I got her a 300k volt stun baton. She stuck me with it once (diff story) but never had to stick the dogs. Just crackle it in the air and the dogs immediately went belly to ground and got the fuck outta dodge.

It's just a primal "you are about to get fucked up" sound.

This made me think of something I got recently for some reason. My brother got me this and I use it as a money clip. Ball out of control with a wad of bills and cut some shit up! I would hate to think what a box cutter blade would do to some dog. It would be terrible.
