After watching my cop neighbor try to drive a dog away with pepper spray, it's not going to help much. Even direct hits to the eyes didn't seem to affect the dog much.

Oof, noted, thanks. I figured it's a decent last resort but I guess not. Vigilance and avoidance are the best bet as usual. I'm not quite ready to buy a handgun over this.

When a pit latches on, the only thing you can do is choke it out. Strangle it until it sleeps. Nothing else will make it let go. It doesn't feel pain, doesn't notice knife stabs or bat beatings or anything at all. Just hope it has a collar you can pull with all your might.

Maybe I'll buy that handgun after all. Really pisses me off that I'm forced to consider this option because people are too stupid and stubborn to realize they themselves owned walking untrained lethal weapons.
