I will allow my 2 tiny Maltese dogs to attack you and inflict some damage to your lower legs....doubt you will enjoy it. Now take an animal that is more than 75 pounds of pure muscle with jaw strength that rivals some predators in the wild, and lets see how well you fair "if they decide to attack you". And once again we have armchair quarterbacks letting us know how much of a better decision they could make in a stressful or potentially dangerous situation that law enforcement encounters. You think I liked what happened to that dog any less than you? There are breeds of dogs that will fight to the death, you honestly think some pepper spray or even a police baton will stop them very quickly?
