Thank you. I don't know where I read, or heard, that it didn't.

I watched a video of a woman who worked in a wolf sanctuary in what looked to be eastern block. One of the wolves approached and tried to assert dominance on the woman. Jumping on her, snapping at her face and arms. She, quite professionally I might add, caught the wolf's front legs on the jump, held them up so the wolf was standing at her level and she proceeded to kick him in the nuts. Each time, the wolf would drop and come back.
After 3 nut kicking, he got the message and ran with his tail between his legs whimpering like a pup.

@enfieldspares , the Velodog revolver is very interesting. I've never heard of it before. Thanks for educating me 
The French (?) or rather continental cartridge was 5.75mm and very long. Longer even, from recollection, that today's .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire and, to boot, the thing was centrefire! And should you be in need of ammunition for any legally held such thing...well...Fiocchi load it!@enfieldspares , the Velodog revolver is very interesting. I've never heard of it before.

That's incredible. What other firearms use that cartridge?
Aha. Here's one of a number of these films:
speaking from experience as i was once attacked by a big German Shepard, it was my own dog in my own house, turns out if had a brain tumour and just went berserk.
i always thought i would be able to fight a dog off, but with a good sized powerful dog its harder than you think, they are so fast and aggressive, and what you think you would do goes out of the window whilst your under attack, my dog got hold of my right hand full on and was ragging it around, i didnt want to pull to hard through feel of losing fingers, i pulled it to my left so i could rain down punches to its head, all the while not actually wanting to hurt my own dog, i managed to get it off eventually, only for it to leap back at me and grab hold of the back of my leg, luckily it eventually got pulled off me,
ended up with a finger end hanging off, broken in 2 places and a hole in my had i could see through, and about 100 stitched in my leg, finger has never been right since and this was over 20 years ago, it was bent and had no feeling in it, and it the cold it felt like it had been smashed with a hammer,
now i know what some dogs are capable of, when i walk my dog which is a giant schnoodle i always take my walking stick which is a twisted knob stick, and because of the places i walk are all across farm land that i have shooting on, with public rights of way on, i always carry my hunting knife on my belt, so first any unruly dogs get shouted at, then it will be a jab with my stick, then its a good crack if then intent on danger ring me or my dog, and if i feel the need as a last resort its getting opened up,

I think that they were one of those things that, yes, had a real role as a dog defence but also under that disguise were actually carried for defence against two legged attackers. The "Anti Fyre" pistol was said similarly to be a self defence weapon in disguise.

Talk of which, purpose made car carried weapons of self defence, reminds me that back in my RFD I did once have a Harrington & Richardson "Handy Gun" in .410 and for the purposes of testing (for a potential customer) did kill a woodpigeon that was walking about on the ground with it at twenty five yards distance. In the USA the "Handy Gun" was de facto banned, before WWII, under their 1934 National Firearms Act law that mandated federal authority to possess less than 18.5" barrels on shotguns.

Just keep a recording of the vacuum cleaner on your phone. Would sort any dog that I've ever known.

Also hurts like hell if you confuse it with mouth freshening spray. Don’t ask.
You need to clench your arse cheeks very hard together. Not only does this offer you an already pre-tensed dynamic position to launch a counter attack from, it will also prevent the dog from smelling fear. If you allow that fear to run down the back of your legs you're in trouble. Hope this helps?

Excellent idea but wot is a “book agent”?Apparently pepper spray doesn't work on dogs? Back in the day in France they did things differently. Harsh some may say...but back then to be bitten by a dog carried the risk of your catching rabies from the bite. I am just old enough to remember British public information films about the danger of rabies coming back in the UK. Nuff said. As they say. And in America too judging from this advertisement.

Bit awkward on the second swing
Whack it with your thermal spotter. They've got to be good for something!

Only been bitten once by a dog - my own JR! Partly my fault, I got between it & my ESS when they were having a disagreement - not intentionally I might add! It sunk its teeth into my ankle whereupon it got grabbed by the scruff of the neck, picked up, given a damned good shake & growled at in its face before being deposited back in the ground. It behaved after that.
Did once get attacked by two labs who were trying to have a go at my two pups, both of whom had run around behind me to seek protection - lab jumped up at me, swift welly boot in the nether region, sharp yelp & it ran off. Owner managed to get hold of the second one before it got a similar treatment - both dogs were acting as a ‘pack’ & owner was certainly not the alpha in the pack!
