That's just what the owners tend to say after the dog has ripped some child apart. It's the "I didn't know it was loaded" defense.

The dumbest thing I’ve done in the last ten years was stick my hands in the mouth of a “docile and friendly” pitty to extract a screaming puppy.

Only afterward did I realized I almost destroyed my livelihood.

My partner Google stalked the owner and discovered that he’d been force to surrender another pit bull two years earlier.

The lucky ones learn about the finger in the butt and hind leg wheel barrow maneuvers before they have to use them.

It doesn't work when a dog really doesn't want to let go. I think it would even make it bite stronger.

By the way, good luck sticking your finger in a dog but when he is fighting... I think you didn't try it much before giving advices.

You might need something like rebar to stick in the back of the mouth and pull back when that doesn't work

I've seen the video where all these methods were tried to no avail, so I don't have much faith in them. The safest solution is to put the animal down, but of course you have to have something on hand to do that. A 4x2 to the temple should do it. That'll end the aggressor and save the victim.

		"Should", maybe, but I've seen a pretty disturbing video where a pit bull took a lot more than one hit... it was multiple minutes of hits. And it only let go after it died, I've never seen anything like it.

Harder to pull off after naming it 'Forty-Cal' though, no?
