I love dogs. I currently own 2 Brittanies. And I would have done the same thing if a large dog attacked me.

I worked part time as a house painter in the 70s and 80s. In a well to do home owned by obnoxious snobs they had an ankle biter that would do just that (bite ankles) and the owners refused to put it in another room. I accidentally launched it across the room with the side of my foot. Oooooopsie. It still barked but kept its distance.

we had a home with a next door neighbor had 3 untrained shelties...yapping all the time, if I went in the back yard one or more would attack the fence...one of the kids had the dogs in the front yard (kid was about 10) not tied up...one of my son's parked his car and one of the dogs come after him....bad for doggie when my 6 foot 2 inch son drop kicked the dog back onto its front lawn.... Another neighbor on the other side had one of the dogs attack her and got her in the stomach. She was weeding her front shrubs...some people shouldn't have dogs, much less 3 and the woman was one that was snobby and just a tad better than any of her neighbors (her opinion, not the neighbors...

Small dogs do less damage, but can be just as ferocious as big dogs.

I don’t hate small dogs, but I hate most small dog owners. Because their little darlings can’t kill people, they are terrible about discipline. They allow the little brats to become absolute terrors.
