I once helped break up a fight between a Weimar Reiner and a
Doberman. The Doberman had had the early going, but the Weimar
Reiner, with advantages of mass, power and guile, seized the Doberman
by the throat and began to work its jaws. For the Doberman to have
any chance at life, intervention would be necessary, so on the count
of three, a friend and I each grabbed a set of back legs, and
lifted. The improvised trick worked fine. I have since wondered if
the principle could not be extended, but with people unfortunately,
once they get up on their hinds legs, it's really quite a problem
knowing where to grab hold.
