personally i wouldn't worry about it. dogs dont kill grown men. the only problem really is if you let a dog get your throat. other than that they are one dimensional attackers and do not fare well when out of their element.

scaring a dog off is real hard and kinda stupid. they were bred to attack despite odds. a big advantage humans have is that we are multidimensional attackers. a dog is going to go for our arms or legs at first, but then thats all they got. we then have at least one arm free to get them off their feet or fuck with their eye sockets.

honestly, the only kind of dog to be any kind of worried about is one bred for fighting. those dogs are stronger than all others, and they withstand pain better than almost any other animal. even a small pitbull can drag a big man across the ground. even then i personally wouldn't worry about a pit bull. its the larger mastiffs that are gonna be where to worry, but even then i think a large man can hold out for at least a long time, and a large intelligent man can kill it.

dogs are really inefficient at killing singlehandedly. they are against other dogs simply because they can go for the neck. their evolution is that of pack hunting. unlike if youre attacked by a tiger that shits will kill you in a second.

get a dog off its feet and its capability nearly vanishes.

be sure to see a doctor afterwards


oh and snapping a dogs neck is going to be much more difficult than youd think. much much much more difficult. their neck muscles are among the strongest in their bodies. you ever see a mastiff jaws clinging to a handing tire, hanging there jolting back and forth?
