So if I have bear spray and a dog is ripping me to pieces, I can't defend myself with it? 3xWTH ?

For all dog lovers in here, which includes me, my desire was not to "dis" anybody who has a dog. I had a dog (Australian Terrier) who pretty much pulled me out of some trials of life with his big heart. It amazes me how much a particular animal, a dog, can be so rewarding to their owners. On the other side of the coin are the owners who fail to take on the responsibility of disciplining their dogs to become valuble assets not only to their owners, but to learn to respect other people as well. I guess a dog reflects the owner's personality to varying degrees. I love dogs, but if an undisciplined one attacked me, I'd be ^%&# 'd.

It's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six.

When your life is in question, all bets are off.

Nobody has ever awarded a corpse for staying within the law.

If you have an extra second or two, the wasp spray works better if you hold up a cigarette lighter and shoot the stream through the flame. Even if it doesn't light up, they'll be terrified when they see what you're up to.

As a child, I discovered the ultimate deterrent for snapping dogs, when a Shepard mix in my neighborhood thought it was a good idea to snap at my ankles as I rode by on my bike.

I went home and filled my squirt gun with a 50/50 mix of water and Parson's sudsy ammonia. The next time I rode down that street, the dog ran out to snap, but instead he got a good stream from the squirt gun down into his open mouth and around his eyes.

After that he would run out to the curb and bark, but he never actually stepped out into the street again.

Later in life, I ended up pulling the late night shift in a convenience store where the neighborhood was pretty rough. I filled a medium sized drink cup with Parson's sudsy ammonia, and kept it by the register with a lid loosely placed on top so it wouldn't stink up the place. I never had to use it, but my theory was that if I did, it would give me enough time to jump over the counter and stomp the nasty customer before he could recover.

Note here that I have literally hosed down a nasty, attacking dog with pepper spray - to no effect. He kept right on coming and I had to resort to physical defense. ( A well-placed kick with my pointy-toed cowboy boot. )

For home protection I depend upon a 40 caliber auto and a 12 ga pump - but for obnoxious dogs I still think the squirt gun full of sudsy ammonia is hard to beat.

It's cheap, too! The squirt guns are lot better these days than they used to be, making it even more viable for doggy defense than it was in my childhood.

Parson'e Sudsy Ammonia is just ammonia mixed with a detergent.

The detergent acts as a wetting agent so that the ammonia tends to stick to delicate mucous membranes and not just run off.

Gets them nice and clean, too!
