Dude that sucks. We were just talking yesterday about whether or nor a dog could take us. I'd say a big dog might could, but it'd have to be a big dog. The only thing dogs have in a fight is a mouth and some dull claws. I always figured I could get a grip and slam one down hard enough to hurt it. If not, go for breaking its neck. Legs are also vulnerable. They don't have the wide range of motion our limbs have and could probably be easily dislocated. They're also kinda skinny and susceptible to breaking. This is not to say I think I can take any dog, more like I'm not going down without a good fight. I really hope I'm never in that situation. Glad you came out alright. My buddy jumped out on a limb with it though and said he could take on a tiger. At first I just laughed at him. Then he started sounding serious and I just wanted to slap him.
