You said"She had a hose. That could have been used as a weapon against the vicious canine." It is very evident you have never seen a dog in attack mode, when they are that way they feel no pain and will not stop their attack unless killed or they kill their victim.When any animal, even humans, go on the attack, adrenilin sets in and nothing will phase them except disabeling injuries. I know that one day my Jack Russel Terrorist will die going down fighting.
