Pit Bulls

I can’t believe anyone thinks that dog wouldn’t have gnawed him to death if he fell.

As far as him standing still, that might have worked if he was never moving. The dog was in attack mode. You both would have seriously stopped peddling?

Last I read Gunda, Rottweilers were the second most deadly dog from bites. Well behind pitbulls, but yes. They are in second.

lol why do you think they would even attack him? they just didnt want him to film their property and then decided to have fun running along? :wink:

i would never cycle and film at the same time and yes i would probably stop to pet those doggies, give them a cookie and lead them back to their owner and tell their owner off for letting them loose on a road

If he fell, I agree. Thats why it was stupid by that cyclist to film and even turn his head back to them, driving one handed.

If he would have stopped, then the chance of him risking a crash would have lowered.

I also agree that the big pit pull was in an aggressive modus. I can’t tell if he was turned into it only by the movings of the cyclist passing by or if he is always aggressive towards strangers.

Honestly, I likely wouldn’t be cool enough in the same situation to stop, but definitely would have rode as fast as I could with both hands on my bike once that decision was made to flee, believing I am faster than those two dogs. As a pedestrian I would have stopped moving and avoided to look and talk to any of them. If one bites, then I would have tried to fight with all means I have and hope, the owner helps. Because you hardly have a chance against any big, aggressive dog. Pit Bull or not. I also bet, even if the second dog wasnt aggressive, as soon as he sees the other dog being attacked, he joins the fight. Maybe even already if one dog starts it without any resistance by the human, due to the pack instinct.

What nonsense, Nico. If a pit is running toward you with a plan to attack, aggression is not going to be an issue with most people and while strong men may have some confidence, a surprise attack always generates fear and adrenaline in the body.

yes i think thats nonsense: dogs dont make or have plans (although some “scientists” agree with you that they do)

adrenaline yes, fear no; that only happens in the minds of fearful people

It makes more sense than standing still, trying to reason with it.

Then where does adrenaline come from?

not giving a reason to be attacked is enough

basically from stress, technically from adrenal glands located on top of your kidneys and also from your nervous system
