Thanks. The rocks were of all sizes. Grabbed what I could. Never seen the dog before. It happened up at my camp in a rural area....the thing came out of nowhere. Thing is with pits, at least as far as I could see....they don’t feel much pain. I hit that dog right in the head with several large rocks very close up. Did not seem to hurt it much.
I don’t have time to find the article on the characteristics of the breed type at the moment, but I have posted this source on FR before: http://www.animals24-7.org/2015/12/23/pit-bull-behavior/
