I worked with a guy who told me this story:
I was at a dog show and I saw two dogs start to fight, and one of the them
was a pit bull. An older fellow quickly appeared on the scene (neither dog
was his) and proceeded to thrust his thumb into the anus of the pit bull,
who then turn docile and obedient. The old guy guided that dog to its owner
and said, "that, gentlemen, is how you break up a dog fight."
I have no reason to think my co-worker was lying about this but has anyone
else heard about this method?
