No, I had to kill it. I had to stab it four times to make it stop ripping my dog up. It came to our doorstep... the electricity people were working in the street and rang the bell for some reason, my dog came with me to the door, and this Pit came up the steps and set about my dog. I think it was a bait dog or abandoned as a loser, it was missing an ear and covered in scars.
I freaked... asked the electrician for s knife, he gave me this pathetic thing that bounced off. I yelled at my wife to bring the big carbon-steel knife and she did... after it let go it looked straight at me, I went into the stance with the knife held straight out at its face, it thought better and staggered as far as the next corner. I was standing there covered in its blood, holding the knife, and I then saw that all the neighbours had come out and were watching me with shocked faces. So I called the emergency vet and the van came and took mine and the other away, I had them euthanise it, and they managed to fix mine back up. After this I routinely carried a chain as a weapon when walking my dog. Just in case.
