The only time a pal of mine had to draw his Glock was when a rogue pitbull attacked him while walking in the neighborhood. He shot the crap outta that dog, and it hobbled away and died elsewhere.

If you've got the bite occupied with your (hopefully) padded arm, will sinking a thumb into their eye socket be effective?

Eyes are always good, even works on sharks (for those who want to experiment with it).

My granddad was a security guard for a mining company. One of his jobs was to go out after packs of aggressive wild dogs. He said that when a pack of dogs would attack him his first tool of defense was his hickory walking cane. He said that it was fairly easy to break the knees of dogs with a blow to the side of the knee. He said that once the lead dogs went down the other dogs would back off and then he would start dispatching the dogs with his pistol.

Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

When you are fighting for your life, never give up.
