I see what I think may be a bit of thread drift...

If one is being attacked by a dangerous dog, does it really matter where you are, whether on the street, in your yard, or picking up mail at a community mail box?

Being attacked by a dangerous dog is being attacked by a dangerous dog. Period.

If such occurs, I will pepper spray first and if necessary resort to lethal means if me or mine are in mortal danger. If anyone thinks that statement sounds melodramatic, research the number of horror stories that not only Pits can (and have) created, but other breeds of big dogs that have attacked humans without cause. Death and major surgery have been the case when people couldn't or didn't have the means necessary to defend themselves.

Anyone recall the two people in San Francisco that were killed by two unleashed Pits a few years back? They weren't the only folks killed or maimed by dangerous dogs.

Get some high quality pepper spray and a belt clip holster for it, plus some Sedecon Decontamination wipes if you accidentally spray yourself .

Defensive Devices sells this stuff as do others on the internet.

DO NOT depend on some no-name brand you can get at the pharmacy or grocery store. That stuff doesn't work. I should know, I used it to no affect on two separate occasions, and then I started buying the quality spray that works.

Fox Brand or Freeze Plus P or Sabre are some of the effective brands.

You won't injure the attacking dogs if it comes to that, but you'll sure dissuade them. Aim for the eyes, nose, mouth.

P.S. I've sprayed many attacking dogs and pepper spray works 99% of the time.
