>Depends on the dog. I've seen that tried and literally 2 seconds later the culprit is on the ground bleeding from a major artery. A rat dog can't do that but it can deliver a nasty bite that can be expected to get infected. Bigger dogs are different. Some grab hold of a limb or head and worry down to the bone and refuse to let go. Others leap in to inflict multiple deep lacerations. Others try to lick you to death. ;-)

Very amusing.

Right now my wife is getting over a broken shoulder but she can't go for a walk round the local park because of the number of badly trained "he's not usually like that " dogs that are being taken for a walk by their clueless owners.
Some people have fine well trained dogs that are a pleasure to meet. A lot don't.
