I’ve known Mike 20+ years and all his 3 dogs, but walking by twenty minutes ago the dog broke free, crossed the street and started biting my dog, ( is crazy\*), so I (I am blessed with the left foot of a professional football kicker, and had on leather work shoes) kicked the dog upwards on his lower jaw, causing him to let out a horrible yelp. ``` Mike witnessed this and I said, ``` > [@](#): > > It’s OK, OK… , and I walked the ten houses down to my house and went inside. BTW a neighbor witnessed this he was standing a few houses away… ``` Thanks for letting me get this off my mind, I probably ruided the dogs sex drive for the year, (he has a female white lab same as the male lab). Mighta gave him a bloody mouth too, ``` …thought I saw blood spurt right away, in fact checked my shoe for it, . :smack: Geez another copper drama, I allready get that at the job. - my dog kills animals, he finds them in the back yard, bites em, drags em by the door, and I wash the blood off his mouth and chest… ---

…my dog (Jeb his name), was walking on a leash on a street I live on, a dog broke free and attacked Jeb on a public sidewalk. I booted attacker in the mouth very hard, he was still walking though… ---

Equating self defense (in this case, defense of your own dog) with what Vick did isn’t an apt comparison. I hope both dogs and your foot come out OK. ---

I was in the park as it filled for the Cancer Cure Run, with my dog on a leash, an unleashed dog came over and began to torment him because he was on a lead! Thing was the attacker was a 3 legged dog! Can you believe it? I let it go on for a little, then put an end to it by kicking at the dog and telling him to get lost. I never really had to make contact though. Because it would have sucked to kick a three legged dog. But it shouldn’t have been off lead, it’s clearly posted as not that kind of park! ---

You know, my dog is small and wussy, and wee. He gets beat up by pretty well everyone including the cats and the 3 pound bunny. If some strange dog lunged at us and bit him while he was on a leash, I’d kick at it too. And probably call it’s owner a douche bag, even if it was a little old granny. Don’t be messin’ with my dog. ---
