Argument - 2 people against 1 dog

Chaostracize · #1 06-24-2005, 04:20 PM

My friend and I are having a disagreement.

He comes into the house today and says that he and his other friend have decided that pitted against a dog they could beat it (kill it/maim it/whatever). Any dog in the world.

They are both 21 and with an athletic build, but by not means are they large guys.

Against a trained attack dog or cop dog I think they simply have no chance but my friend believes the opposite, that is they would be able to either kick it to death while it's attached to one guy or get it in some kind of strangle hold. He says the dog has one weapon - it's mouth. If worse came to worse and it got ahold of one of their arms then dogs have no other weapon available to them. And dogs are trained to bite and not let up. The guys' primary objective is to keep their necks out of reach of the dog.

Against your average house pet I agreed with him that he would be able to take it on, were it to adapt some sort of bloodlust, but any kind of trained dog would just absolutely ruin them, and I'm saying it would ruin them in a time span of less than 5 minutes.

I think a single person should be able to take an attack dog down? We out-weigh most dogs by about 100lbs, a solid punch is going to land a 80lb german shepard on the groud cold.

We both agree this is thoroughly wrong.

Unless you're Mike Tyson.

A single punch to the chin would surely KO a dog. But landing the punch cleanly would be very very difficult.

True. Another part of my argument is that these dogs are trained to withstand multiple bullet wounds just to take somebody out. If they can withstand that I think they can withstand a lot of what a regular human can dish out.

so you think their training makes them immune to bullets or something? no amount of training will help a dog whose spine has been shattered by a bullet, or whose skull has been crushed by a foot.

Just curious, how do they train their dogs to withstand multiple bullets wounds? Keep shooting them intil one miraculously survives, and then breed it?

How do you train a dog to withstand bullet wounds? I don't think this can be "trained."

I'm pretty sure biting the dog's ear off won't win the fight.
