Oh but if they do let go, often they'll turn and attack that which is holding those back legs or what ever. Also, one of the main reasons Pits & other fighters have ears cropped and tails docked is so the other dog has nothing to grab. It's horrible -- just within the last 3 weeks right here in my neighborhood of big Baton Rouge - TWO PIT BULL ATTACKS - causing both innocent humans to almost lose their leg. Now B.R. folks are trying to get tougher with the ordinances here.

Usually if you can get the dogs hind feet off the ground you can separate them from what ever they are attacking . They lose the power in their jaw if their hind feet are not in contact with the ground. Get them by the tail or better yet by the hind feet . Have separated many a dog fight like that .Of course if both dogs are fighting it takes two people .

The owner couldn't beat the dog off Naldy with a board, I don't think hairspray would have stopped this dog.
