A pit bull bit a straphanger's foot during a chaotic subway ride captured on video and posted on social media.
Riders on the 4 train desperately try to get the dog to let go of the woman's foot.

If that stupid dog had snapped further and went for a full out attack, nobody could have stopped it. Why anyone would want one of these dysfunctional beasts is beyond me.
It’s long past time to crack down on this “service animal” nonsense. If you’re blind, you get a dog. For everything else? Buy a teddy bear.
The owner looked pissed at the girl. MUSTA been a “companion” animal. A weaponized companion.
I think it is a PBT type, but can’t be sure with no video (iPad). Of course, it has one of those stupid harnesses typical of vicious fighting dogs, or of stupid people who know nothing of discipline for dogs.
If you are ever involved in this situation, here is what you do. Take a belt, and use it as a noose. Slip it around the dogs neck and lift. The dog will let go when it chokes. Odds are it will try to attack the victim again once it catches it breath, so the owner then needs to take is dog away from the victim the moment it lets go of the victim.
Pit bulls are one of the reasons I’m getting my ccw. If one bites me or my lab puppy, I will blow its head off.
Owner put dog on seat next to rider. Rider says, no and keeps pushing dog off seat. Owner starts hitting rider and dog joins in.

Pulling on the dog’s leash while it’s biting a woman’s foot seems like a poor strategy.
“Pit bulls are one of the reasons I’m getting my ccw. If one bites me or my lab puppy, I will blow its head off.”
A thing about shooting feral dogs.. and pitbulls.
A dog doesn’t understand the concept of “BANG”. When a person is shot, their minds process the event as “I’ve been shot”. Dogs and other wildlife do not understand what the bang means, and if they are charging you they don’t care either. So when you shoot a charging animal you’ll find that you aren’t stopping it.
A dog is designed for forward motion. Every muscle in it’s body is designed to move forward. That means that the charging animal is going to take more, per mass, than any other creature (Man) to take down. So while a man will stop charging when hit by a .22 an Animal won’t stop until you choose a round so large that it actually disrupts muscle groups. In other words, the animal will need to have large chunks of muscle removed from it’s skeleton in order to stop it from charging.
If you live in an area with feral packs, your challenges have only begun. It’s why I paid $1200 for an FN Five-seveN. Living in CT (A sh!thole country) I was surrounded by packs of feral pitbulls. Dogs don’t care about watching another dog getting shot, and during a charge or hunt they don’t care about the bang either.
My experience comes from one of these encounters with a 9mm Glock. A standard capacity mag was enough to get 2 dogs held back while I ran. There were more than 10 and I wound up getting bit quite a bit while getting into someone’s porch for protection. It was scary, but I learned a lot.
When I’m nature walking I’m carrying a large bowie (Large enough that I can use) and a large caliber pistol round with some real muscle-shredding power. I also carry a lot of rounds now.
Good luck with your CCW And if you want to hear more experiences and advice, hit me up.
Same thing here. That’s one of the many reasons I strap my .38 to my bike when I ride. The three mile stretch of my road has four Pitbulls that run loose. There a numerous other big dogs on that stretch that like to chase me too. There are GSD’s, bulldogs, boxers, and about 20 more. I can outride most of them unless I hit a hill. My husband finally made me stop riding my road because of all the Pits. Now I ride the MTB on trails but still pack my .38 and have the GoPro on the handlebars. My road bike just sits in the garage most of the time because of all the Pits running loose. My county has a leash law but it’s not enforced.
The way he threw that shoe... well, seems we know where the dog got its anger issues from.
“A weaponized companion.”.........
I have several of those “companions”, they answer to the name “Glock”. They come in a variety of sizes and thankfully, none of them has ever failed to respond when called.
No one with a phone called the police when they saw a dog? MYOB?
“Take a belt, and use it as a noose. Slip it around the dogs neck and lift:.......
I use something slightly different for trapping coyotes, its called a “snare”. Nice thing about snares, once they tighten around the neck it results in a permanent “fix” as the critter would bit no more.
Yeah, it’s a PBT.
The victim is still low-class, though. Typical demo reaction - cuss and still get volatile despite a vicious dog that might come at you again. Can’t keep their mouths shut and garner some sympathy.
And it sounds like the owner (not master) is a foreigner, like a Russian or something? White guy, but not looking latino or anything like that.
Not surprised.
Oftentimes, this demo is either “entitled” to what it wants, and/or irrationally frightened of any dog. The combo can’t be good.
She had alot of gaul and pluck to push a PBT!
Sounds to me like you were fighting a pack. That’s much worse than a single dog.
Do you honestly think that police dogs just keep going if some thug gets in a good shot? They’re trained to do so, but sometimes they’re just knocked cold. But then, they only have their human handler and maybe some others to back them up. Not quite the same as a hunting pack of just dogs.
I’d venture a guess as to stopability:
-single normal dog
-pack of dogs
-PBT
-pack of PBTs (they’re not normal)
I really hate pit bulls. I really do. They serve no useful purpose.
About 15 years ago, I was on an evening walk with my wife.
A pit bull in a yard about a block from my house came up behind me and locked onto the back of my calf, ripped my jeans and drew blood. I shoved my house keys into one of its eyes to get him off. The owner was really mad and threatened me for injuring his dog as I tried to remove him from my leg. I can still hear the dog’s owner screaming, “He’s a good dog and would never hurt anyone.”
