He put the shovel handle up the pit bulls anus and pried open his jaws?
WTF?

[Gritty-Kitty]

Wrecked him, hell! He (almost) killed him!

Chet, I don’t know where you find all these stories about pitbulls! This one, at least, seems to have a good ending.

Except for the pitbull, who, if he survived, has one hell of a headache!

Apparently neither the dog or the owner were shovel ready..

Even though the article is poorly written, it pretty much covers several of the options I’ve thought I would try to employ in a similar situation.

I suspect he tried to shove the handle up the Pit Bull’s anus, not the other end of the tool. But I could be wrong.

I’ve also thought of bringing my shotgun out and shooting the attacking dog in the hind quarters at close range to avoid hitting the other dog. As soon as that thought occurs to me, I picture the attacker twisting and turning, making any shot risky. And with the emotions of the moment, it’s too easy to not see bystanders in the path of the shot.

Wow, rolled up paper works on my Pittie....

Bought a couple canisters of pepper spray so the wife and I would feel safe on our walks. A couple neighbors have pitbulls and seem to have difficulty controlling them.
Anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not pepper spray would be effective with this breed?

Kinky.

And kinda ~swishy~ ..... saaay ..... Eaker? Was that you?

"...Monday he heard children’s screams of “help, help,” while walking home from a friend’s house near the trailer park..."

Sounds like they need some very special folks on patrol in that area.

(What do Pit Bulls, tornadoes and Vikings have in common?)

One less pit bull in the world today, a great way to start off my day, thank you for posting this. A good pitbull is a dead pitbull.
