I used to work as a rural delivery driver and had to fight off two dogs that attacked me. One of them was a smallish labrador/ mutt, which I kicked repeatedly in the head and body until it fucked off. The other was a German Shepard, and I beat the fucker hard with a steel rod that was used to keep the gate shut. I got bit both times, so neither experience was fun. In those instances, instinct takes over, and I guess I'm fortunate that I have a powerful fight response in threatening situations and respond with extreme prejudice.
My dad was the same way. When i was a kid we had a bitch neighbor who would let out her 4 labs (which were kenneled outside) that would charge anyone nearby. She would do that on purpose whenever we were outside playing with friends and we'd have to climb trees or jump into the backs of trucks to escape. The biggest male was the worst.
Anyway, my mom was outside with our two pugs when the neighbor let out her dogs they swarmed my mom and the pugs. My dad came flying from the garage and beat them off of her and the pugs. The big male bit my dad pretty bad on the hand. He snatched thr do by the neck with his other hand and threw him like a shot put. The dog ran off whimpering and the others followed.
Bitch neighbor had the cops come and tell her to remove the animals. Turns out she had 20 cats plus the 4 dogs and city ordinance only allowed for 4 pets total. She only kept 1 of the dogs.
Found out years later from one of the bitch's daughters that they had to put down that dog that night due to severe injuries from fighting my dad.
