85-100 lb lab-chow mix attacked a guy and his 7 yo son. Killed the dog with his bare hands. Pretty badass if you ask me. Promote this guy from jogger to runner.
Was it Mike Vick, dog killer deluxe?
If it's in a headline, they're always "joggers."
As a runner that loves dogs... I don't know what to say. I don't think he had to kill the dog. :(
As a runner, I have to say that I HATE joggers. God damned dog killers the whole slow-ass lot of them.
as a jogger who hates both runners and dogs, this story makes me very happy.
Yeah, I agree, I think a little doggie treat would have solved it. Giant, strange dogs randomly attacking your son are usually easy to calm down.
"Chow" is the problem here. Those f***ing things are the devil. If any breed should be banned, that's the one.
I've often wondered if a man could kill a reasonably large dog with his bare hands. I have my answer.
It might be a good thing, next time this dog might have attacked a child or a person not able to control the dog. Look at the damage it done to this guy and the owner had no clue while this was going on.
That jogger had Bear Hands for god sakes. He was probably just trying to pet the poor little doggie. Slow ass joggers, especially ones with Bear Hands should not be allowed on the trails.
Big deal. I went hunting once. Shot a deer in the leg. Had to kill it with a shovel. Took about an hour.
If any of you have been following the basketball player thread, you'll get this.
"There is no reason to EVER attack an unarmed dog, he doesn't know what he is doing."
If you attack an unarmed dog, you should go to jail.
The dog looks a like a mean sob, where are you sympathies guys. He was defending his son. If it was a human being attacking his son with a chainsaw Im sure he would have killed him too.

I once had to kill a moose with a spatula and a can of Pam non-stick cooking spray.

Hard to say. Was this a situation where the guy was seriously injured only because he started choking the dog and the dog was fighting for his life, or did he have to choke the dog to avoid being even more seriously injured?
As a guy who owns a very large and very friendly dog, I am amazed by the number of people who mistake a gregarious dog for a threatening dog. He looks at a person, starts wagging his tail, and pulls on the leash to try to go say hi, and the person at the other end reacts as if he's a freaking grizzly bear (despite the fact that he's showing no signs of aggression and is under my complete control). If my dog got off the leash, he very well might run up to a random person and try to greet them or play with them. I can certainly see some of the spazes that I've come across believing that their life is in danger and reacting accordingly.
I could imagine this situation being either way. If the guy truly was reacting to a vicious dog that was out to hurt him, he was justified. If the guy got freaked out by a friendly dog who wanted to play and decided that he needed to start a fight with the poor creature, he should be charged with animal cruelty.
Small potatoes, Jason Rexing once killed a mother Grizzly with his own bare hands ... in trainers.

I couldn't agree more. Chows are the one.

No it's always the owner's responsibility. How can one determine if the dog is friendly? If it bites or not? It should go that far in the first place.
I am amazed by the number of dog owners who assume, by way of mind meld, that every jogger understands that the giant dog running or lunging at them is friendly.
I mean it shouldn't go that far.
