Good example. I hear people who say they would to this or that to fend off a dog attack. They seem to have no clue how fast, agile, and athletic your average dog is. How fast it can turn on a dime and circle you and come from a different angle. People will say “just grab its tongue and then it can’t bite down on you. Yes, so much easier said than done. Dogs are really good at what they do. We are just prey without a gun or a knife. You can’t effective beat a dog in hand to hand combat without a weapon.
OK, maybe a trained Navy Seal would go straight for an eye gouge and that would end it. I am not so trained.
Grab the two hind legs and lift, dog stops fighting immediately and YOU don’t get hurt.
Animals in general are 10x or more stronger than humans. Even small ones - and humans can never raise the intensity level of fighting for one’s life like an animal.
God created them to survive in the wild with physical strength, speed and ferociousness.
Humans? Not so much.
