After seeing the Bull Massiff thread, it got me thinking. Do you think you take a strong dog like a rotweiler seriously? Although big dogs they generally have a weight disadvantage of humans. What does the dog have in it's favour

. Sharp teeth, powerful jaw
. Basically a large mass of muscle

Perhaps i'm naive but I think although it would be one hell of a struggle with a dog hanging off of my arm, I still think i'd be able to work myself into a position to kill/seriously injure the dog.

(Although I must admit I was very surprised to see it took a taser and 5 rounds to take the dog down!!!)

if you think about how people crumple on the floor after a punch to the arm or a kick to the leg, 99.99% of people will be on the floor in the foetal position within a split second of a dogs teeth tearing into their flesh.

you would have to have very fast thinking and very fast hands and feet to fight a dog that is intent on hurting you. something that most people in the heat of the moment (fight or flight) do not have.

I agree with that, but if you're a relatively big person and you were prepared to fight the dog without crumpling to the floor on the first bite, I think you'd have chance. maybe.....
