Best blade.....
 

The ultimate question is what is the best blade and the answer is always the one you have with you!
We were running wih our dogs and were attacked by 2 pit bulls. They went after our dogs and then went for us. Before today I always carried a pistol with me when running as well as a Spyderco native in my waistband. For whatever reason I decided not to bring my gun but took the knife today. Once attacked and seeing they meant to harm us, I stabbed both dogs in the neck and chest. One I got in the jugular and carotid, he finally backed up and as I stabbed the other , I got bitten on the hand but got him again and he backed away. They finally ran away , I called 911 and reported it. The police followed the blood trail around the block to a house, found one dead and the other died while they were there.
Moral of the story, always be able to defend yourself. Picture will be attached, thanks Sal!

If POTUS were here, he'd be scolding you for wasting good meat . . .

Doc:

Hand OK, dogs OK?

To repeat - "Hand OK?" A surgeon sticking his hand in a meatgrinder. :rolleyes: Bet next time you won't leave the gun behind .

Hand is fair, 1/2 inch laceration and one puncture but big bruise from the bite force. One dog got bitten twice but seems okay the other was able to defend herself well. My girlfriend was kicking the one attacking my bigger dog so I guess it was enough to keep it off of my dog until I could deal with it.
And yes the pistol will now always be mandatory running gear. It was funny one of the cops thought I was kidding when I said I usually run with my gun, I showed him my rig and he's ordering one

Need a medic to drive down and sew you up? :)

Good job. :lifter

Holy SMOKES:eek:

Dude-
WELL DONE!!!

Glad you and your "family" are OK -

DO watch that dog bite...you may remember my experience when I was bitten by the neighbors dog in 2010...
I kept repeating to myself that I was fine, until I was at work in the ER and one of my colleagues took me off the floor and admitted me to the hospital for sepsis and I had to have the puss drained out of my wrist by Ortho.

Providers are THE WORST PATIENTS...ensure you allow someone ELSE to monitor our recovery.

Again - well done.:lifter

I'd say Well Done, except for the fact that you did not have your "Ventriloquist Watchdog" with you!!!

One hell of a run!! Hope the hand does not become an issue for you, we both know the cost this can exact. Glad to hear no other injuries happened. Any actions against the owner in the works?

RF 1

Owners got cited for leash law violation And endangerment to society or something like that. I have the option of pressing charges for 4 weeks or so and figured if either me or my dog needed medical attention I would do that. Started antibiotics immediately and have been watching it closely. I'm on PTO and headed to a cruise tomorrow so hopefully my hand will behave. My neighbor who is watching my dogs is keeping an eye on my little guys bite wounds as well. No rabies thankfully but the county is checking the dead ones Anyway

What rig do you use for running?

Now? M-79 with beehive rounds. :D

Same question?.........;)

Well done Doc.;)
