It’s kind of cool after the adrenaline wears off to realize that you charged forward in the face of it. I’ve been full on attacked with no provocation by 2 different medium sized and 1 large breed dog in the past 10 years. Two of them did backflips and landed on their backs when my steel toe met their jaw. Bought me J ust enough time to get the F outta there. The most recent one, a big male Great Pyrenees, got it in the snout with my metal surveyors clipboard, which I was holding in both hands in front of me like a shield, all 6 times it came at me, fully friggin airborne. It really wanted to kill me. Time slowed down, but it was funny looking back on each incident. I remember just getting really mad, snapping into a stance, and reacting. The owners of the last one replaced the $120 hoody whose sleeve got partly ripped off when I sidestepped and the dog sailed past me and just caught my wrist with his teeth on the way by. Just barely broke the skin. I talked to the owner on the phone the next day because he called to suckhole me into not reporting it, and he admitted he got the whole incident on video from his security camera. Man I wish I could have had that footage. He said he could tell that I had some training, lol. I’ve since started carrying dog deterrent spray just in case. But these were interesting insights into what I did those 3 times when faced with fight or flight.
