There are so many attacks by Pit Bulls that the press and the public has gone numb. In Idaho, many attacks never hit the media. The public has their heads in the sand. It doesn't matter what kind of dog - be prepared.

Protect yourself by whatever means you are comfortable with.

My wife was attacked by three "cow dogs" while jogging our six llamas in Eagle, Idaho. She sprayed all three with high grade OC Pepper spray. One drowned in an irrigation ditch. One was never found. The third hid under the owners house. It was shot a week later.

I asked my wife why she used the OC Spray. She said the .357 was in her other hand and she didn't need it. The dog owners were quite polite. Their new dogs are well fenced. We don't exchange Xmas cards.
