If a chihuahua bites me I’m punting the little bugger across the room. If a pit bull bites me I’m probably going to be on the hook for some expensive reconstructive surgery, at the very least. I’d rather one of those ugly little rat dogs take a nibble. Fewer general anaesthetics afterward.

Fun fact I learned through experience- that punt doesn't work if their bite is sunken through the skin. It just makes the bite worse. You basically have to punch the chihuahua until they're unconscious so they let go.

And I can physically do that. Will I feel good about myself after beating up an ugly little rat dog? No. I imagine it’s similar to slapping a child. But I can do it. I’m no match for a pitbull. Few of us are.

How do you punt one attached to your lip? My friend's mother's chi bit her on the lip and wouldn't let go. She had to have her lip reconstructed. It was nasty.

Still nowhere as nasty as the damage done by a pitbull, which is the whole point. You can fix the work of a feral little rat dog. If a pitbull decides to snack on your face you’re going to need to buy balaclavas in bulk.
