OT, stray dogs with teeth
John K Jordan
Pit bull: one, wrist: zero.
We caught both strays before they killed any guineas or peacocks. They are now enjoying a stay with the nice animal control people. I enjoyed a nice visit with the MD.
The neighbor (who has chickens she wanted to keep) came out with hotdogs for bait. Later she came out with hydrogen peroxide.

When do you get your shots?

I usually try to get my shots (.38 special), in a situation like this, before the pit bull gets to me.

Ouch! Hopefully yours heals easier that mine! Pit bulls are like vise grips with feet.
Years ago while walking on Plattsburgh AFB, a stray dog came running up, I stood in front of my wife and my 7 year old daughter pedaled fast. Damn dog bit mt calf, tore through my jeans. Went to base hospital, family to waiting room, me to treatment. They used a scrub brush to debride the wound. When I came back out, my daughter asked if I heard the screams from the animal, I told her they sounded awful...
As to the owner, he got a talking to from his commander...

Sorry to see that John. I hope the dogs can be traced and shown to have current vaccinations. Owners need to take responsibility. Bull terriers can be nasty or sweet depending on how they are raised.

Personally I would have used my side-by-side 16 ga with #1 buck. There are plenty of decent dogs in the world. No need to suffer this kind.
