I was fine, but even though I grew up with dogs, and have never been without one in my life, I never realized the power in their grip.
The dalmation bite was on my "buttocks" (as Forrest would say) and even though it didn't break the skin, the bruise was deep and lasted for many weeks.
I can't imagine the power in a Mastiff, Pit Bull or other strong breed.
I have a very old dog, and you'd think he has no strength left, until he gets an ear infection, and you have to give him ear drops.
