I was attacked by a family pit bull on a visit.
We had all been sitting chatting together, dog included.
I got up to bring our suitcase down the hall to the bedroom we would be sleeping in… and the dog came flying down the hallway growling, barking, and lunged at me, trying to get at me to bite. Repeatedly.
Fortunately, I had the suitcase and it was a narrow hall.
I blocked him a number of lunges until the owner came running down the hall.
Ballistic denier nylon! Lifesaver.
Same happened to me. I told my brother in law that that dog goes to daycare and if it charges me again, I’d kill it (as I had my .38SPL at the low-ready. Dog went to doggy day care while we stayed for a week. I had a 7 and 5 year old with me and the dog had a “kill” look to it.
