(37,573 posts)a Rottweiler came charging at us, so I got between it and my dogs and my little 30 pound beagle just runs around me and starts mixing it up with the Rott. I am guessing the Rott was just playing or blustering, because Blake seemed to hold his own and they just separated after about thirty seconds of snarling and snapping. I hit the Rott about three times, with the heavy end of a pool cue, without seeming to have much effect, although it whined after I hit it in the back and that may be when they separated.
I think I like the spray idea better than a knife or gun. With a deadly weapon I would have killed that dog, and it would have been unnecessary. Heck, I was trying to kill it, or knock it out, with the pool cue. I did not pull my punches, except for the difficulty of trying to hit it and not my own dog who was right there in its face.
