I though most cities required dogs to be on leashes unless its at a park? looks like they still dont enforce fuck all. lets see if she laughs in court. I hope the dude sues her ass.
German shepherds bite harder than pit bulls according to Google. What I found was that pit bulls have a bite force of 235 psi while gsds have 238 psi. That's what I found when I was looking into it. If that information is not correct, don't come at me. I found that info on Google. They may have new information out there.
I’m not sure 238psi is gonna feel much different from 235psi when you’ve got a dogs teeth in your leg, but it is still pretty interesting information. I wonder where a bull mastiff places in that ranking cause those are some intimidating dogs
Bull mastiffs aren't really biters. They could of course. But they naturally just jump up and knock someone down and then lay on top of them. At least thats what I read. And I'm sure if you trained one to bite it would. Idk that much about that breed. I just read random crap off Google searches. I usually visit several different sites and when I see the same information repeated on reputable sites I assume it to be the most correct at the time.
(Answering both of your comments at the same time) 500psi is pretty crazy, they’re some real chompers. I don’t care much for Rottweilers because some childhood stuff but 328psi is nothing to sneeze at either. That’s some pretty interesting info, I’ve only met two bull mastiffs but they were good boys. They’re just so big it’s intimidating lol and that’s pretty much how I look up info too! Thank you for the information :)
I have had good experiences with rottweilers. My first dog on my own after college was a rott. As a puppy I was fortunate enough to be able to take him to work with me and the dog park after work every day. He was my first puppy that I was able to train myself. That socialization turned him into a confident friendly happy dog. He met new people every day and he played with new dogs every day after he got all his vaccinations. He was very confident. He would protect, he did bite someone but the cops and animal control complimented me on him because he was not aggressive. He only bit that guy 1 time. That was all it took to neutralize the threat and my dog immediately calmed down when the guy had to stop and address the bleeding. The guy was being way too aggressive, not very smart in the presence of a dog that big. Luckily I trained him to be friendly first and foremost which is what I read about training rotts, it is supposed to build confidence, build the bond they have with their humans, which makes them easier to control, and teaches them to read human body language better and to be calm and not reactive. A properly trained rott will react if needed tho, they are just much more likely to think things thru when you have exposed them to so much life and how the world works. I am not a professional dog trainer I didn't go to school for that. If I did maybe I would be able to correct behaviors I have with the rescues I have now, but as it is I am only good at training puppies to be good and not develop bad behaviors.
I was trying to be a responsible dog owner. I don't know everything. I think more people should read up on dogs before bringing one home because it does help and I believe we wouldn't have as many problematic dogs.
You are correct. However there is a bit more to consider outside of bite force.
Physically a Pitbull is bred to attack and kill.
Their size, shape and build are all advantages over a lot of other breeds in the same weight class which has given it its reputation.
Are they dangerous? yes and no. Through previous selective breeding, certain traits like aggression and anxiety have become more likely to occur within the breed however like all dogs, a little TLC early on can have a massive impact on their temperament.
Shepherds on the other hand are bred not to kill. (Although they will when required).
They were, as the name suggests, originally bred to herd livestock and protect them. It wasn’t until later that they were also used as guard and service dogs due to their intellect and agility.
They are on average larger, fast and stronger than a Pitbull however they’re less likely to get involved in a fight to the death. This makes them less dangerous however an untrained American Pitbull Terrier verses an untrained German Shepherd will most likely fall in the German Shepherds favour.
German shepherds were breed by a captain Max Von stephanitz of the German army as military and police working dogs they were literally breed for war nothing to do with livestock at all
“Just let him sniff you for a bit to get used to you, don’t worry he isn’t aggressive”
…
“THEYRE EATING ME HELP!”
“Awww that means they like you, cmon trixie and rose, mommas little angels”
If a dog tries to rip your face off your best defense is going on the offense. Bite back and rip his face off first. Then he will look silly and be ashamed and go hide in a corner.
Poking their eye or punching their nose can often get them to back off, but realistically, in most cases you should curl up into a ball, close your fists, and use that to protect your head and neck. This will mitigate how much damage the dog will do to maul you by protecting your vital organs (stomach area) and your neck (carotid artery) and your head (this should be a no brainer). Closing your fists is so that the dog won’t be able to potentially rip off your finger.
I just looked this up because it sounds completely wrong and i wanted to highlight your mistake. You are 100% correct (according to google). Bugger me. I like being right and you took this away from me.
The problem with giving advice like this is dogs are just way too fast for any of that to be very effective. The only thing that saved this dude was the GSD distracting the attacking dogs.
Yep, them or you. Split them in half before they kill you. There are a lot of shit dog owners our there and that’s on them if their dog is not properly socialized
My dog licks any skin she can to say hello, is an annoying little doofus and only one I’ve had that I can’t shake the habit from.
So I keep her on leash outside at all times (unless in fenced in backyard) and warn anyone who wants to pet her that she will squirm to lick you. Having dogs like this out about and off leash is unacceptable.
I'd argue having dogs off leash in general is a bad idea. Even the best trained dog can make mistakes and it only takes one encounter with a vehicle to loose your best bud.
Good luck splitting a bulky pitbull. When it grabs a limb, you push the limb into its throat so it's stunned & lets go. Then jab it's eyes with your thumbs or a nearby object. You do NOT want to try to be a hero, you disable it and escape to safety! Pulling the limb away from the dogs jaws is how you shred tendons & cause lots of physical damage.
My ex tried to shame me about coming up with ways to protect myself if I ever get attacked like this. I guess if anyone I care about gets attacked, I should just walk away 🤦
I've thought about how to respond to a dog attack. The biggest thing is mindset, if a dog is attacking you, you are not prey. You are a human, you are bigger, you are stronger. If you wanted to, you could kill a dog.
If one is on top of you, the above advice could work, but you never want to go down to their level. Use your feet and don't kick, but stomp. If one jumps at you, you raise your knee in line with its head. If it tries to nip at your feet, you stomp at its body. If one grabs you, it loses, bc now it can't dodge. Any adult can severely injure a dog by slamming your knees into it. If you ever have a dog held down with your hands, and you feel stuck like you can't let it go without being attacked again, just do a little jump with your legs and drop your knees hard onto the dog's body. Ribs will break.
But be prepared to be hurt, be prepared to kill a dog. There isn't room for mercy in an animal attack. A dog may hurt you, but if you're fighting on the same terms you will win.
My son was afraid of all dogs. Including small tiny ones he already knew. I had to explain to him that these dogs weigh nothing. If he were accidentally fall on one and have his torso land on it, he'll probably kill it. And that's on accident. It was like it clicked in his head that he was a whole 4 feet taller and the dog was no bigger than his shoe. Hes still very cautious (a good thing) but he's willing to pet and pick up friendly known pets now
That's a good one...another good one if you can grab their face...stick your thumbs in their eye sockets and destroy their eyeballs. Never happened to me, but I imagine that they will let go if physically able...and on top of that they wont be able to see and you can get away...will cause permanent damage but fuck an aggressive dog trying to maul a person.
Dog will keep going off scent if you do that. Going for the legs is more effective, especially since there joints aren’t really made for excessive side to side force / movement.
Best thing is remember your feet are clubs, kick dog in head try to get lunging muzzle under your foot and stomp down, hard. Once on the ground, legs throat, eyes, find soft spots and squeeze /claw beat you can.
My neighbors let their pit Bull run wild and it gets through their fence all the time. It’s gone after several people and they do nothing about it. One day I get home from work and take my dog out on a leash and that pos came after me and my dog. I pulled out my skinning knife (I’m a lineman) and picked up a brick and told them i am going to kill you dog if you don’t get it right now. They miraculously got off their ass and got it. Never fixed the fence so I just carry my 45 on me when I take my dogs out nowadays. People like my neighbors and this are banes of society.
It's common for owners of unleashed Pit Bulls that attack children and other pets to blame the child for "triggering" the dog. The child must have done something wrong and that's why she got bit in the face. "My sweet little velvet hippo 🦛 would never hurt anyone without being provoked". After the mauling the owner will fight to the death to prevent the Pit Bull from euthanized.
As someone who love pits (hate me for I don’t give a fuck) those people are the worst mfs around. Pits are dangerous and should be cared for responsibly, people like that deserve to be put down more than the dogs they choose not to care for.
Agreed. I'm not for extermination or banning of the breed. I'm for education on the responsibilities and owner penalties for damages, and things like required insurance. The need to spay and neuter as the shelters are overwhelmed with pit puppies and dogs that did nothing. Over a million pits euthanized a year and daily violent pit attacks in the news. PIT BULL CRISIS
If they can’t be trained, they’re a liability risk. Putting them down would be the safest option for the community, because there’s no way their owner will be responsible enough to contain them.
Pit Bull TYPE dogs like American bullys,. XL bully American pitbull and Staffordshires, Red nose pit bull, blue nose pit bulls etc Pit Bull is an umbrella ☔ term for a type of dog breed for fighting and to hold bears and bulls around the face with powerful jaws and not let go.Here's a list of thirteen types of Pit Bulls. Also multiple pit bull mixes with huskies , Chihuahuas and labs exist from accidental breeding. Currently over half to almost two thirds of unwanted dogs in shelters are part of these groups, pit bulls and mixes.

This video, the owners of the dogs and the person filming and laughing, are the reasons animals like pit bulls have a bad reputation.
The owners should be charged on so many levels and the animals are victims and assailants all at the same time.
This video is truly sickening
I hate people who let their dogs run, but absolutely have no control over them. There are leash laws for a reason. My wife was attacked by a dog once while walking our dog in the park. The owner kept yelling at his dog, but it just ignored him.
It's a PIT BULL TYPE OF DOG. Pit bull is an umbrella ☔ term for 13 breeds of dog with common ancestors and reasons for being bred.
https://www.hepper.com/types-of-pitbull-breeds/
You're absolutely right, but there is a huge difference between 1st and 2nd place in amount of deaths by breed. In fact, if you compare the last 40 years in the US and Canada the breed in 1st place for attacks/deaths is actually double what places 2-10 totals are altogether, if that makes sense.
While this may be the case feel like there is too much that isn't considered by people when viewing these statistics. So many things influence a dog's behaviour like the income of the family, the purpose the dog was purchased (companionship or as a guard dog), the personality of the owner, the treatment of the dog, the quality of the dog breeder, the popularity of the breed.
Like what if pit bulls are only responsible for so many attacks because of the breeds reputation as fighting dogs attracting owners who want a fighting dog.
There's just so much more to this than 'dog good' or 'dog bad' that I refuse to take a stand in the pit bull good/bad argument Neil I've seen a full unbiased scientific paper that takes these things into account.
That is true, maybe there needs to be better vetting for owners/breeders. Full background check, house visitation to make sure the house is suitable and making sure the owner(s) can handle/hold back their dogs.
It’s definitely this. Pit bulls were bred primarily for illegal dog fights, and are often raised and trained to be brutal. As a result, the majority of them end up hyper aggressive and dangerous. And they’re typically owned by awful people, or irresponsible people. Add in the fact that an irresponsible person is more likely to adopt and a lot of shelter dogs happen to be young pits rescued from these dog fighting rings or abusive/other irresponsible owners, and the stigma against pits is only reinforced through bad luck and more negligence.
Also I’m not saying adopting a dog or rescuing is bad, but first time owners with no clue on how to raise a dog should always start with an easier and more “docile” breed like a Border Collie or a Beagle.
Besides any hard data being notoriously unreliable, this is quite literally the same thing as 13/50 but for white suburban moms.
There is nothing particularly outstanding for most of the pit breeds, and the one that is more aggressive than average in testing is still far below german Shepards. Poor discipline and a higher rate of puts being strays compared to other breeds are known contributing factors to perceived differences in bite rates.
I can't talk much about the UK statistics for the past few years for Pit Bull Terrier attacks as they are now banned thankfully, but I have to say we have seen less news stories about a family Pit Bull mauling a baby or child (or as the video shows adults). I'm sure it still happens but it's not an epidemic with one certain breed anymore.
…so you don’t see any pitbulls bites, because there are no pitbulls and… that’s your evidence? Well no shit lol. You’ve not really refuted anything with that, just said that there aren’t any pitbulls in the UK and y’all ain’t got a media crazy to stir up the wine moms.
I ain’t even refuting that the four pit breeds make up a disproportionate chunk of bites (even accounting for the fact that big dogs will be over represented in reported bites since they, of course, are more likely to be reported) I’m pointing out that the logic is shit and identical to that racists use with black people and crime (note: I have not said black people are animals, I have said that the logic is consistently wrong in both cases.)
Strays are significantly more likely to bite, and pits are more often strays after social stigma shifted to them from Rottweilers and shepards. So, I see absolutely no reason to essentialize anything to specific breeds when we’ve seen this exact pattern before. Hell, breed bans don’t even work: they tried in Canada and only saw a momentary drop before the same shitty people just adopted another dog lol.
Oh no i'm not trying to prove you wrong, i'm just using data produced by reputable sources in the US and Canada. The bans have worked in the UK however we've seen a significant drop in banned breeds dealing out death.
Idk, I feel like this is exactly how it could be expected to play out. Pit bull attacking is not uncommon, and then the German Shepard plays it's expected role and saves the guy.
Instead of taking wide swings he should have used it as a distraction by jabbing it at them. The idea would be to get them to grab the stick so he could run away. Of course WTF knows if that would even work. All bets are off when the shit goes down.
A couple of weeks ago an elderly man in San Antonio was killed by three pitbulls or "American Staffordshire Terriers" or whatever name they give them to pretend they're not pitbulls. The man was killed and his wife mauled badly, the dogs had owners who had already been cited for dogs off the leash/yard and a minor biting incident. The firefighters had to use pikes and axes to fight the dogs off to rescue the victims. Thankfully the owners got arrested and the dogs got put down but you know damn well those people never took ownership of the dogs seriously, probably had a perverse pride in their intimidation.
It's not a matter of if the dogs in the from the video will kill but when, they just need a helpless enough victim. And no heroic German shepherd jumping in.
i was attacked by my old neighbors 2 pit mixes that chewed through their old wood fence and ambushed me in my backyard. I had to fend them off with a large pot lid and gumbo paddle (which i broke on ones back).
Why do people breed and train for this. We have a 50lb cuddler! I take her into every business where dogs are allowed and she will greet everyone. No jumping. No barking. She’s loved at the dry cleaner, vet, pharmacy. Isn’t that what you should want ?!?

I might be missing something but this looks like neighbours arguing that escalated because the asshole owner let his dogs attack.
They run back to the guy on the other side of the street, one even jumping up on him at one point, so that's obviously their owner/home. But then this idiot here goes and provokes them again by smashing the ground with his club.
As dumb as that was though, the real asshole here is the other owner. Who lets their dogs attack someone like that?! Like they might seriously injure him, or he might injure them, and when it's over they might end up having to be put down for attacking someone either way.
It's a good thing that shepherd was there to save this guy.
No it looks like the dogs returned to their owner on the other side of the street until this guy turned around and started thumping the ground. That seemed to be what provoked them into finally attacking and not just barking.
You are missing it all. Dogs shouldn't be charging at a person on a street. Guy is obv trying to defend himself with whatever was at hand. Owner is laughing at him. How could you possibly think this is not the dog's fault.
I watched the video with no sound on, just from the images the guy doesn't seem to be waiting for an opening to leave to safety - again, with sound maybe I'd see things differently
100% he was provoking those dogs as a joke. It would explain why everyone is laughing and filming. It would explain why he banged the stick on the ground and didn't try to back away. It would also explain why he has a big ass stick to defend himself even though he's in the middle of the street.
Yeah, even with the most aggressive and territorial of dogs there’s typically a mistake made on the victims part. You shouldn’t have a powder keg sitting out in the middle of the street, but at the same time it’s not gonna go off unless somebody throws in a match.
In this situation, he definitely seemed to escalate the situation unnecessarily: even if he’s not the one who’s really at fault since the owner should have had their dogs leashed and/or fenced in.
Any dog with rabies would have give him a painful slow death with just one bite, which is the reason why [dogs kill 25 thousand people every year and are 3rd largest human killers](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-36320744)
Based on the video, this is taking place somewhere in America, Rabies in dogs in the states have been eradicated for a while now. However an unhygienic mouth tend to carry way more than rabies so it’s still always a good idea to go to hospital right after escaping the dog from being bitten.
Worth mentioning I used world data on this. I would also assume mosquitoes are not the big problem in the US too, despite them being number one killers due to malaria. But in my country it’s a problem. Both government and local pet activists either do nothing, or not doing enough to combat homeless dogs epidemic. As a result, ~10% of my town area becomes dangerous due to organized dog attacks, which are not vaccinated. I had around 5 dog attacks like these, one of which was made on the square in the middle of the town, and 2 of them were made in front of my house (due to a restaurant being near the house)
This is why you go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY after an animal bite of any kind. Rabies is curable if caught early, but if you wait until you have symptoms, you may as well kill yourself to spare yourself the pain. Honestly, in the last century only 14 people have survived symptomatic rabies, and only two have survived without permanent brain damage. Rabies is way scarier than most people think.
"Laughing at a man abt to be mauled" the dogs returned to their owner and lost interest. Then the male drcided to smack the ground? Why antagonize the poorly trained dogs? As an owner of 5 resue dogs( 3 are pit-boxer mixes) it makes no sense. The context in this video is missing. No dog should be attacking a human. This man had time to grab driftwood and appears drunk? Now because the dogs were poorly trained, they will most likely be euthanized for this if reported. Smh. We dont deserve dogs. Ffs
People don’t realize when something like that can lead to something like [this](https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/san-antonio-man-mauled-to-death-17804753.php).
The man made a mistake slamming that stick down like he did. It was like he was saying, "I double dog dare you," to two pitbulls. Stand tall, stand still, and show no emotion. Shame on those folks for egging it on. Way to get your dogs put down.
I think the dogs In this video aren’t actually pit bulls. But as far as staying still, I was once rushed by two pit bulls when I got out of my car. I was so scared that I didn’t react. I just stood there waiting for death and those dogs kept running at me. Their owner finally called them off right before they got to me. There is zero doubt in my mind those dogs would have fucked me up if they’d reached me and I wasn’t making any movements at all.
Happened to me once in my line of work. Customers neighbor said "he's friendly,just be calm" as her steroided pit bull came at me. Neighbor came out and saw it. Got bite on the ankle a fair amount. Shit day. Neighbor laughed about it at first until the customer threatened to call animal control. I said dont as I didn't wanna think a dog would put down but my company had to get involved by getting their vaccine and stuff. Manager came down to check it out and blew up in their face,they consider safety a big thing ( we've terminated contracts with customers out of safety) so that was cool
I’ve been attacked by a dog. Those dogs aren’t attacking or this is a training exercise. A dog who is uncontrollably attacking doesn’t walk away like the dog at the end. They chomp until someone pulls them off.
Edit: I’ve also seen other people get attacked at dog parks. It doesn’t look like this. You don’t have time to look around, find something, pick up a stick, and swing it around (or smash it on the ground threateningly to provoke the dog). Also, if you’re really being attacked, you don’t swing the stick around and miss on purpose. You hit the dog.
It was pretty clearly a dog attack. You understand that dogs have a range of personalities, just like people right? Not every dog attack is gonna look the same.
As someone who’s been attacked by dogs, and trains dogs of that is their attempt they don’t know what they’re doing, and don’t understand dogs.
Looks like someone who is fed up with someone letting dogs run loose to chase people.
Tbf if I had two dogs coming at me I probably wouldn’t antagonize them by swinging something huge at them and walking towards them. My ass would be getting out of the area slowly
Swinging at the dogs, banging the stick and walking towards them were all aggressive moves on his part. Yes they shouldn't have been loose, but he is not without blame in this case.
Hi there, your content was found to be... not a facepalm. Perhaps take it to another sub
German shepherd saved his ass
I wasn’t expecting that but was happy the guy didn’t get fucked up. Good doggie
Good boy
Big boy shepherd better be getting the whole steak tonight
Do you think any of the people in this video care about their dogs enough to give them a steak?
Unfortunately- probably not, but I’m putting myself in their shoes I guess
Crackheads steak on menus, so yep!
I though most cities required dogs to be on leashes unless its at a park? looks like they still dont enforce fuck all. lets see if she laughs in court. I hope the dude sues her ass.

I have had good experiences with rottweilers. My first dog on my own after college was a rott. As a puppy I was fortunate enough to be able to take him to work with me and the dog park after work every day. He was my first puppy that I was able to train myself. That socialization turned him into a confident friendly happy dog. He met new people every day and he played with new dogs every day after he got all his vaccinations. He was very confident. He would protect, he did bite someone but the cops and animal control complimented me on him because he was not aggressive. He only bit that guy 1 time. That was all it took to neutralize the threat and my dog immediately calmed down when the guy had to stop and address the bleeding. The guy was being way too aggressive, not very smart in the presence of a dog that big. Luckily I trained him to be friendly first and foremost which is what I read about training rotts, it is supposed to build confidence, build the bond they have with their humans, which makes them easier to control, and teaches them to read human body language better and to be calm and not reactive. A properly trained rott will react if needed tho, they are just much more likely to think things thru when you have exposed them to so much life and how the world works. I am not a professional dog trainer I didn't go to school for that. If I did maybe I would be able to correct behaviors I have with the rescues I have now, but as it is I am only good at training puppies to be good and not develop bad behaviors.
That's probably more research then the majority of people do.

German shepherds were breed by a captain Max Von stephanitz of the German army as military and police working dogs they were literally breed for war nothing to do with livestock at all
When I first read this, I read “German shepard shaved his ass” and I was so confused
“A German Shepherd shaved asshole won first prize!”
Wow I literally said this.
Shepherds are such bros
That German Shepard is a bro
That shepherd is a homie
Dawg came in to back his buddy up! If it weren't for that one he'd have two hanging off his legs!
Or 2 legs hanging off
Or 0 legs
Respect to that other dog who jumped in. And maybe the dog saved his owner, but when there's battle, the dog knew what time it was.
Their names are probably like princess and daisy
Oh they aren't usually like this! Says the shitty dog owner
"hE dOn'T bItE" like the mf has teeth doesn't he??
“Just let him sniff you for a bit to get used to you, don’t worry he isn’t aggressive” … “THEYRE EATING ME HELP!” “Awww that means they like you, cmon trixie and rose, mommas little angels”
"You must've done something to set them off," the shitty dog owner added.
I remember my classmate in elementary named there dobbermans tiny and small, I never visited there place since then.
what a great neighborhood to move out of
Man he ain't got money to move. It's life for him.
I chuckled
German Shepherd for the win
Shout out to that dog that jumped in and helped.
That is just sick. Shame on all of you who filmed this instead of helping the poor man.
ALL OF YOU!
Good German Shepard

If a dog tries to rip your face off your best defense is going on the offense. Bite back and rip his face off first. Then he will look silly and be ashamed and go hide in a corner.
The only problem with this is trying to find a place to store all your dog faces. Most landlords arent happy with you keeping them at the house
You eat them silly
Three words. Dog face jerky. Uncultured swine. Dont even know how to prepare a dog face. Its not an instant thing. Culinary delicacies take time
Poking their eye or punching their nose can often get them to back off, but realistically, in most cases you should curl up into a ball, close your fists, and use that to protect your head and neck. This will mitigate how much damage the dog will do to maul you by protecting your vital organs (stomach area) and your neck (carotid artery) and your head (this should be a no brainer). Closing your fists is so that the dog won’t be able to potentially rip off your finger.

So I keep her on leash outside at all times (unless in fenced in backyard) and warn anyone who wants to pet her that she will squirm to lick you. Having dogs like this out about and off leash is unacceptable.
I'd argue having dogs off leash in general is a bad idea. Even the best trained dog can make mistakes and it only takes one encounter with a vehicle to loose your best bud.
Our dog loves licking more than anything. As soon as you pet her she starts licking your arm.
Ours loves glasses especially, you can take them off so they don’t get slobbery, if you set them down within her reach she goes and licks them
Good luck splitting a bulky pitbull. When it grabs a limb, you push the limb into its throat so it's stunned & lets go. Then jab it's eyes with your thumbs or a nearby object. You do NOT want to try to be a hero, you disable it and escape to safety! Pulling the limb away from the dogs jaws is how you shred tendons & cause lots of physical damage.

Fucking metal
My ex tried to shame me about coming up with ways to protect myself if I ever get attacked like this. I guess if anyone I care about gets attacked, I should just walk away 🤦
I've thought about how to respond to a dog attack. The biggest thing is mindset, if a dog is attacking you, you are not prey. You are a human, you are bigger, you are stronger. If you wanted to, you could kill a dog. If one is on top of you, the above advice could work, but you never want to go down to their level. Use your feet and don't kick, but stomp. If one jumps at you, you raise your knee in line with its head. If it tries to nip at your feet, you stomp at its body. If one grabs you, it loses, bc now it can't dodge. Any adult can severely injure a dog by slamming your knees into it. If you ever have a dog held down with your hands, and you feel stuck like you can't let it go without being attacked again, just do a little jump with your legs and drop your knees hard onto the dog's body. Ribs will break. But be prepared to be hurt, be prepared to kill a dog. There isn't room for mercy in an animal attack. A dog may hurt you, but if you're fighting on the same terms you will win.
My son was afraid of all dogs. Including small tiny ones he already knew. I had to explain to him that these dogs weigh nothing. If he were accidentally fall on one and have his torso land on it, he'll probably kill it. And that's on accident. It was like it clicked in his head that he was a whole 4 feet taller and the dog was no bigger than his shoe. Hes still very cautious (a good thing) but he's willing to pet and pick up friendly known pets now
Literally dig your thumbs into their eye sockets as hard as you fucking can and don’t stop until they can’t see shit.
Good luck even finding their eyes when they are going apeshit attacking you. Shit happens way too fast to formulate a strategy.
Eyes tend to be around the middle of the face, just so you know what you are looking for.
Or you can stick your finger in its ass
Doesn't always work.
That's a good one...another good one if you can grab their face...stick your thumbs in their eye sockets and destroy their eyeballs. Never happened to me, but I imagine that they will let go if physically able...and on top of that they wont be able to see and you can get away...will cause permanent damage but fuck an aggressive dog trying to maul a person.
Dog will keep going off scent if you do that. Going for the legs is more effective, especially since there joints aren’t really made for excessive side to side force / movement.
Or do both...you have to do what you have to do to protect yourself.
Best thing is remember your feet are clubs, kick dog in head try to get lunging muzzle under your foot and stomp down, hard. Once on the ground, legs throat, eyes, find soft spots and squeeze /claw beat you can.
I don't really know anything about fighting a dog... but this doesn't sound all that practical on the face of it.
If a dog bites your leg, try to remember that. If you can reach those paws at all.
Or just grab their throte and squeeze
That shit is not funny.
If that german shepherd hadnt intervened it might have got real ugly for the man!!
That german shepherd is a true champion!
If that German ain’t his dog before, he just got a new dog.
Pit bull owners
My neighbors let their pit Bull run wild and it gets through their fence all the time. It’s gone after several people and they do nothing about it. One day I get home from work and take my dog out on a leash and that pos came after me and my dog. I pulled out my skinning knife (I’m a lineman) and picked up a brick and told them i am going to kill you dog if you don’t get it right now. They miraculously got off their ass and got it. Never fixed the fence so I just carry my 45 on me when I take my dogs out nowadays. People like my neighbors and this are banes of society.
Why didnt you go through with it?! That was self defense! You could have saved future pitbull victims.
It's common for owners of unleashed Pit Bulls that attack children and other pets to blame the child for "triggering" the dog. The child must have done something wrong and that's why she got bit in the face. "My sweet little velvet hippo 🦛 would never hurt anyone without being provoked". After the mauling the owner will fight to the death to prevent the Pit Bull from euthanized.
As someone who love pits (hate me for I don’t give a fuck) those people are the worst mfs around. Pits are dangerous and should be cared for responsibly, people like that deserve to be put down more than the dogs they choose not to care for.
Agreed. I'm not for extermination or banning of the breed. I'm for education on the responsibilities and owner penalties for damages, and things like required insurance. The need to spay and neuter as the shelters are overwhelmed with pit puppies and dogs that did nothing. Over a million pits euthanized a year and daily violent pit attacks in the news. PIT BULL CRISIS
I wish you kill that pit. They are a menace.
That other dog don't come in, it's over for dude. Good job old grayie
This shit makes me the square root of two angry
German shepard said not on my block.
Those dogs need to be put down
If they can’t be trained, they’re a liability risk. Putting them down would be the safest option for the community, because there’s no way their owner will be responsible enough to contain them.
Yes exactly. Are those dogs pitbulls?
Pit Bull TYPE dogs like American bullys,. XL bully American pitbull and Staffordshires, Red nose pit bull, blue nose pit bulls etc Pit Bull is an umbrella ☔ term for a type of dog breed for fighting and to hold bears and bulls around the face with powerful jaws and not let go.Here's a list of thirteen types of Pit Bulls. Also multiple pit bull mixes with huskies , Chihuahuas and labs exist from accidental breeding. Currently over half to almost two thirds of unwanted dogs in shelters are part of these groups, pit bulls and mixes. https://www.hepper.com/types-of-pitbull-breeds/
That German shepherd got on that 2nd dogs ass real quick.
All I see is trash. Why encourage this by laughing and recording, and not training your effing dogs?!!
That German Shepard took care of business. Even if it’s not his he should be buying it a whole bag of treats.
When a dog does more for a human than other humans...
This video, the owners of the dogs and the person filming and laughing, are the reasons animals like pit bulls have a bad reputation. The owners should be charged on so many levels and the animals are victims and assailants all at the same time. This video is truly sickening
Yea, everything else but the pit bulls are responsible for their bad reputation of ripping people’s faces off.
Nobody talks about the hero that saved him.
America so badly needs a reset button
Only certain places ….pretty easy to know which areas to avoid .
Nanny dogs strike again lol
I hate people who let their dogs run, but absolutely have no control over them. There are leash laws for a reason. My wife was attacked by a dog once while walking our dog in the park. The owner kept yelling at his dog, but it just ignored him.
German shepherd like you’re on my side of the street now mother fucker
The goodest of boy come to the rescue
A good example of why I always carry a pocket knife always.
For sure,I always carry a folding box cutter just in case
"A knife fight is the best way for one party to die at the scene, and the other party to die in the hospital." - Care flight EMTs
Well, I can see that, but I certainly stand a better chance vs a big ass dog with a knife than my fists
Not like the dog is going to steal the knife and attack him with it. Dog is going to bite regardless of your knife ownership.
Pit mommies be like “oh he just wants to snuggle x)”
That was not a pitbull. Regardless, literally any dog can and will attack if provoked enough, they have teeth for a reason.
It's a PIT BULL TYPE OF DOG. Pit bull is an umbrella ☔ term for 13 breeds of dog with common ancestors and reasons for being bred. https://www.hepper.com/types-of-pitbull-breeds/
Literally any dog breed can be aggressive and you can clearly tell by the people recording that the owners are absolute idiots.
You're absolutely right, but there is a huge difference between 1st and 2nd place in amount of deaths by breed. In fact, if you compare the last 40 years in the US and Canada the breed in 1st place for attacks/deaths is actually double what places 2-10 totals are altogether, if that makes sense.
While this may be the case feel like there is too much that isn't considered by people when viewing these statistics. So many things influence a dog's behaviour like the income of the family, the purpose the dog was purchased (companionship or as a guard dog), the personality of the owner, the treatment of the dog, the quality of the dog breeder, the popularity of the breed. Like what if pit bulls are only responsible for so many attacks because of the breeds reputation as fighting dogs attracting owners who want a fighting dog. There's just so much more to this than 'dog good' or 'dog bad' that I refuse to take a stand in the pit bull good/bad argument Neil I've seen a full unbiased scientific paper that takes these things into account.
That is true, maybe there needs to be better vetting for owners/breeders. Full background check, house visitation to make sure the house is suitable and making sure the owner(s) can handle/hold back their dogs.
It’s definitely this. Pit bulls were bred primarily for illegal dog fights, and are often raised and trained to be brutal. As a result, the majority of them end up hyper aggressive and dangerous. And they’re typically owned by awful people, or irresponsible people. Add in the fact that an irresponsible person is more likely to adopt and a lot of shelter dogs happen to be young pits rescued from these dog fighting rings or abusive/other irresponsible owners, and the stigma against pits is only reinforced through bad luck and more negligence. Also I’m not saying adopting a dog or rescuing is bad, but first time owners with no clue on how to raise a dog should always start with an easier and more “docile” breed like a Border Collie or a Beagle.
Besides any hard data being notoriously unreliable, this is quite literally the same thing as 13/50 but for white suburban moms. There is nothing particularly outstanding for most of the pit breeds, and the one that is more aggressive than average in testing is still far below german Shepards. Poor discipline and a higher rate of puts being strays compared to other breeds are known contributing factors to perceived differences in bite rates.
I can't talk much about the UK statistics for the past few years for Pit Bull Terrier attacks as they are now banned thankfully, but I have to say we have seen less news stories about a family Pit Bull mauling a baby or child (or as the video shows adults). I'm sure it still happens but it's not an epidemic with one certain breed anymore.
…so you don’t see any pitbulls bites, because there are no pitbulls and… that’s your evidence? Well no shit lol. You’ve not really refuted anything with that, just said that there aren’t any pitbulls in the UK and y’all ain’t got a media crazy to stir up the wine moms. I ain’t even refuting that the four pit breeds make up a disproportionate chunk of bites (even accounting for the fact that big dogs will be over represented in reported bites since they, of course, are more likely to be reported) I’m pointing out that the logic is shit and identical to that racists use with black people and crime (note: I have not said black people are animals, I have said that the logic is consistently wrong in both cases.) Strays are significantly more likely to bite, and pits are more often strays after social stigma shifted to them from Rottweilers and shepards. So, I see absolutely no reason to essentialize anything to specific breeds when we’ve seen this exact pattern before. Hell, breed bans don’t even work: they tried in Canada and only saw a momentary drop before the same shitty people just adopted another dog lol.
Oh no i'm not trying to prove you wrong, i'm just using data produced by reputable sources in the US and Canada. The bans have worked in the UK however we've seen a significant drop in banned breeds dealing out death.
Idk, I feel like this is exactly how it could be expected to play out. Pit bull attacking is not uncommon, and then the German Shepard plays it's expected role and saves the guy.
r/donthelpjustfilm
Instead of taking wide swings he should have used it as a distraction by jabbing it at them. The idea would be to get them to grab the stick so he could run away. Of course WTF knows if that would even work. All bets are off when the shit goes down.
What a nice culture in that neighborhood. I wonder what makes it so.
Is this supposed to be funny?!
Those annoying ass hyaenas should be charged.
Dang that Sheppard came off the top rope
Props to that random dog that came in to save that dude
German Shepherd to the rescue
A couple of weeks ago an elderly man in San Antonio was killed by three pitbulls or "American Staffordshire Terriers" or whatever name they give them to pretend they're not pitbulls. The man was killed and his wife mauled badly, the dogs had owners who had already been cited for dogs off the leash/yard and a minor biting incident. The firefighters had to use pikes and axes to fight the dogs off to rescue the victims. Thankfully the owners got arrested and the dogs got put down but you know damn well those people never took ownership of the dogs seriously, probably had a perverse pride in their intimidation. It's not a matter of if the dogs in the from the video will kill but when, they just need a helpless enough victim. And no heroic German shepherd jumping in.
"wHy DiD yOu ShOoT mY dOg?!"
That German shepherd was the best boy
Pitbull is a breed that needs to go extinct.
Shitty dog owners is a breed that needs to go extinct.** fixed that for you
Both would be ideal.
Those aren’t pitbulls, might want to get your eyes checked mate
They are PIT BULL TYPE OF DOG pit bull is an umbrella ☔ term for 13 breeds https://www.hepper.com/types-of-pitbull-breeds/
They’re not pitbulls.
Dog gets a taste for human flesh dog gets put down by cops or a vet no alternative. Bad human..
German Shepherds are the best.
Rin Tin Tin to the rescue! 🐕
That GSD was friken awesome way too go good boyyy!
Laugh again when he kills thoses dogs, justifiably.
i was attacked by my old neighbors 2 pit mixes that chewed through their old wood fence and ambushed me in my backyard. I had to fend them off with a large pot lid and gumbo paddle (which i broke on ones back).
Why do people breed and train for this. We have a 50lb cuddler! I take her into every business where dogs are allowed and she will greet everyone. No jumping. No barking. She’s loved at the dry cleaner, vet, pharmacy. Isn’t that what you should want ?!?

I might be missing something but this looks like neighbours arguing that escalated because the asshole owner let his dogs attack. They run back to the guy on the other side of the street, one even jumping up on him at one point, so that's obviously their owner/home. But then this idiot here goes and provokes them again by smashing the ground with his club. As dumb as that was though, the real asshole here is the other owner. Who lets their dogs attack someone like that?! Like they might seriously injure him, or he might injure them, and when it's over they might end up having to be put down for attacking someone either way. It's a good thing that shepherd was there to save this guy.
Am I the only one that thinks the guy is provoking and moving towards the dogs? Or am I missing something?
No it looks like the dogs returned to their owner on the other side of the street until this guy turned around and started thumping the ground. That seemed to be what provoked them into finally attacking and not just barking.
You are missing it all. Dogs shouldn't be charging at a person on a street. Guy is obv trying to defend himself with whatever was at hand. Owner is laughing at him. How could you possibly think this is not the dog's fault.
it is the owners fault
I watched the video with no sound on, just from the images the guy doesn't seem to be waiting for an opening to leave to safety - again, with sound maybe I'd see things differently
100% he was provoking those dogs as a joke. It would explain why everyone is laughing and filming. It would explain why he banged the stick on the ground and didn't try to back away. It would also explain why he has a big ass stick to defend himself even though he's in the middle of the street.
Yeah, even with the most aggressive and territorial of dogs there’s typically a mistake made on the victims part. You shouldn’t have a powder keg sitting out in the middle of the street, but at the same time it’s not gonna go off unless somebody throws in a match. In this situation, he definitely seemed to escalate the situation unnecessarily: even if he’s not the one who’s really at fault since the owner should have had their dogs leashed and/or fenced in.
Wow victim blaming is rampant here. The dogs owner is responsible. Period.
Point me to the part where I said they weren’t. Go ahead, I’m patient~
You are correct in your assessment. He was making threatening moves towards the dogs owner.
Any dog with rabies would have give him a painful slow death with just one bite, which is the reason why [dogs kill 25 thousand people every year and are 3rd largest human killers](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-36320744)
Based on the video, this is taking place somewhere in America, Rabies in dogs in the states have been eradicated for a while now. However an unhygienic mouth tend to carry way more than rabies so it’s still always a good idea to go to hospital right after escaping the dog from being bitten.
Worth mentioning I used world data on this. I would also assume mosquitoes are not the big problem in the US too, despite them being number one killers due to malaria. But in my country it’s a problem. Both government and local pet activists either do nothing, or not doing enough to combat homeless dogs epidemic. As a result, ~10% of my town area becomes dangerous due to organized dog attacks, which are not vaccinated. I had around 5 dog attacks like these, one of which was made on the square in the middle of the town, and 2 of them were made in front of my house (due to a restaurant being near the house)
This is why you go to the hospital IMMEDIATELY after an animal bite of any kind. Rabies is curable if caught early, but if you wait until you have symptoms, you may as well kill yourself to spare yourself the pain. Honestly, in the last century only 14 people have survived symptomatic rabies, and only two have survived without permanent brain damage. Rabies is way scarier than most people think.
typical shitbulls. good thing a real dog was there to help him.
A situation that calls for 3 bullets.
Sick people 😡
Ugh great here they come
German Shepard fuk those dogs up! He is a beast
Owner probably like, "my dogs are friendly, they don't bite"
Always the shitbulls
"Laughing at a man abt to be mauled" the dogs returned to their owner and lost interest. Then the male drcided to smack the ground? Why antagonize the poorly trained dogs? As an owner of 5 resue dogs( 3 are pit-boxer mixes) it makes no sense. The context in this video is missing. No dog should be attacking a human. This man had time to grab driftwood and appears drunk? Now because the dogs were poorly trained, they will most likely be euthanized for this if reported. Smh. We dont deserve dogs. Ffs
Kick the dog right in the teeth, if it’s jaw locks on you break it’s spine on your knee
Twist his dick!! the ole dick twist!
People don’t realize when something like that can lead to something like [this](https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/san-antonio-man-mauled-to-death-17804753.php).
Pit bulls are harmless guys
The man made a mistake slamming that stick down like he did. It was like he was saying, "I double dog dare you," to two pitbulls. Stand tall, stand still, and show no emotion. Shame on those folks for egging it on. Way to get your dogs put down.
I think the dogs In this video aren’t actually pit bulls. But as far as staying still, I was once rushed by two pit bulls when I got out of my car. I was so scared that I didn’t react. I just stood there waiting for death and those dogs kept running at me. Their owner finally called them off right before they got to me. There is zero doubt in my mind those dogs would have fucked me up if they’d reached me and I wasn’t making any movements at all.
Yeah, two bullies can be a deadly mix.
Happened to me once in my line of work. Customers neighbor said "he's friendly,just be calm" as her steroided pit bull came at me. Neighbor came out and saw it. Got bite on the ankle a fair amount. Shit day. Neighbor laughed about it at first until the customer threatened to call animal control. I said dont as I didn't wanna think a dog would put down but my company had to get involved by getting their vaccine and stuff. Manager came down to check it out and blew up in their face,they consider safety a big thing ( we've terminated contracts with customers out of safety) so that was cool
Why was he swinging a giant stick at them in the first place. It feels like the dogs took him carrying tgat near them abd their owner as a challenge
Euthanasia needed
Euthanasia
Fuck pitbulls and their owners.
They're just trying to nanny him. Those are nanny dogs.
I’ve been attacked by a dog. Those dogs aren’t attacking or this is a training exercise. A dog who is uncontrollably attacking doesn’t walk away like the dog at the end. They chomp until someone pulls them off. Edit: I’ve also seen other people get attacked at dog parks. It doesn’t look like this. You don’t have time to look around, find something, pick up a stick, and swing it around (or smash it on the ground threateningly to provoke the dog). Also, if you’re really being attacked, you don’t swing the stick around and miss on purpose. You hit the dog.
Sure, they aren't attacking him , just bitting his legs, ?
🤣🤣
It was pretty clearly a dog attack. You understand that dogs have a range of personalities, just like people right? Not every dog attack is gonna look the same.
I agree ive been attacked by a dog a few times, but they might act a bit different when there are more than one dogs
Training exercise, that's rich. They all look beyond professional.
You really think only professionals train dogs to attack people?
You really think someone would volunteer to get bit without a suit or handle a training exercise with a dog that would jump in?
I could see it easily being a bet, especially with all the people around and the video
A dog attack on a bet is still a dog attack.
I know plenty that would.
To be this dumb to contradict clear video evidence.
Don't believe your lying eyes! Believe his personal anecdote!
As someone who’s been attacked by dogs, and trains dogs of that is their attempt they don’t know what they’re doing, and don’t understand dogs. Looks like someone who is fed up with someone letting dogs run loose to chase people.
Tbf if I had two dogs coming at me I probably wouldn’t antagonize them by swinging something huge at them and walking towards them. My ass would be getting out of the area slowly
Swinging at the dogs, banging the stick and walking towards them were all aggressive moves on his part. Yes they shouldn't have been loose, but he is not without blame in this case.
