Crow Knife Holds Dog At Bay

I'm glad they're safe, and had the tool and initiative to stay that way.

I can tell you, when I got off the commercial charter flight a couple of hours ago, I was damn glad to open my "black box" (a Stanley job box I was issued in lieu of a chest), and select a knife from several I've very kindly been given (two more are in the hands of Specialist Crapper and Pv2 MacMillan), and put it on. It just feels right there.

They did good Munk.

I came across a coupe of village dogs in Nepal last year, I wandered down through a village in The hills outside Kathmando to ask {well mime :D } to this women if I could see the hansiya I had watched her useing across a field to cut grass, {probably for goat or something.} So she showed me how it worked on grass about a 1/2 inch high & it still cut it! working sharp indeed!

The dog came from behind her in a half circle trying to blindside me & came in fast & growling so I just moved towards it barking as savagly & loudley as i could. It stopped the dog dead in its tracks looking very botherd & confused which gave the woman & of course Simon,Ravi & the villagers back up the hill overlooking a great laugh.

at Ravis parents place this dog was chained up outside, they said that the principle was if a tiger came along hopefully it would take the dog & not one of the village children.....

Now that is a dogs life!

even macho man and naturalist tom brown has been treed quite a bit when he was caught unawares... he'd also take them out if it was his fancy and "it needed doin'"...

i've learned a few ways to take a dog out... some breeds with german shepherd type bodies, supposely if you can "ride them" and get them in a scissors, kick out their front legs some, and bear down on the animal with your weight, they can't take it because they can't breath well - supposedly, keep sitting down, eventually they'll pass out.

similar thing, a lot of dogs have a weakness on their "chest", and if you can kick it, really hard, it'll knock them down, even hurt them a lot.

worse comes to worse, LET THEM bite your hand, but ram it down their throat, ram it hard, and grab the animal with the other hand, and don't let it go. soon to be dead doggy. good for medium to larger ones. once your arm is down that throat, well, what are they going to do?

headlocks and scissors of course on non pointy collared dogs, and do whatever you have to but don't expose your neck.

i've been attacked a few times, and gave the dogs what for. didn't like it, and the dogs weren't necessarily to blame, but poor owners and the situation demanded it. haven't killed any or majorly hurt any, but every single one of those currs gave me my props ;)

And that's why you should never mess with a kitten in uniform!

A good friend of mine, now about 80 years old, used to be the county sheriff. He once told me that while he was deputy he sometimes had to find people and serve them papers. Obviously to do that, you have to walk up to houses, ring doorbells or knock on doors, and talk to people. And dogs could be a problem. So he kept a Visene bottle full of ammonia on his person for just such occasions. He said a puff of ammonia in the face of an unfriendly dog always worked like a charm.

Now I live in Taiwan and one member of my family is a standard poodle. Every evening I take him out to run ( he runs alongside while I ride my 125cc moped -- actually he drags the scooter for about the first 500 yards, then I start the engine.) While we are out on these runs, stray/unleashed neighborhood dogs often come up and try to take a bite out of his ass. Now I had upwards of $3000 invested in this dog by the time I got him home here, and I have reservations about letting him be the main course for just any mangy mutt that feels like taking a nip. And a dose of ammonia to the face, administered from a spray bottle DOES do the trick. And the nice thing about those spray bottles like the hairdressers use is that they often have a range of about 15 feet. In a place with a lot of strays, etc. a squirtgun or spray bottle full of ammonia might be a good thing to have on hand. (Heck, no animal in its right mind, and few that were out of their minds, would wand to keep coming if they they knew you would clear their sinuses every time they got close.:D)
