I got bitten by a German Shepherd in the arm when i was 12. When it happened, the "fight or flight" reflex kicked in and I chose "flight". Nearly got run over by an RV coming down the street lol. The owners (who were sitting with the dog on the porch btw) called it back and I ended up at the corner with blood dripping off my elbow. Nine stitches and I was good to go.

I vowed from that point on that the next time it happened it would be "fight" rather than "flight". Fuck the MFing dog that attacks me next. I don't remember where i got the idea but I heard that you can give the dog your forearm to bite on, put your other arm behind its neck, and *SNAP* fight is over. Yeah you end up with a nasty bite on your arm, but can break the dog's neck and the fight is over.
