Definitely has that wild look! Steer the **** clear human!
Nice - that cat looks ready to rock. It also apprears to like computers.
Can't decide between this and that Cocker that shoots a Glock.
Our dog will bark at shadows, fear is her friend and bark and hide is her primary defense mechanism.
Good thread

I have two pits(female 70lbs/,male at 50 lbs) My male dog is very friendly with people so i doubt it would do anything, but does alert me with every sound he hears. But is a alpha male and aggressive with other dogs. My female i know will protect me, has happened several times against stray dogs and people. Use to have a aggresive loose dog that would run up at you barking and snarling. My female would step in front of me putting herself between me and the dog, puff out her chest and square up. Samething happen one time walking her past a german shepard, maybe she sensed something, but she started a low growling and once again sqaure up and chest puffed out. Walk a few feet and she would turn and face the dog and square up. She was raised around 20 something dogs and is very friendly with dogs, so maybe she sensed something off. My landlord came over one day with a guy to fix something, i was out back mowing the yard and didn't know they where in the house. My landlord had to put her out the room because she was getting alittle aggressive with the guy helping him. Also whenever we walk around the neighborhood, she always watches people who walk by. like she watches my back or something. I also can say two words and she gets on alert. What does all this mean, heck i don't know, but i love my dogs and they are great companions, that's why i got them.
Yes, 40lb Blue Heeler. Anything that comes in his yard is fair game.
I was told to gouge the eyes or grab the neck like you would a zombie. I carry a big ass knife. I'm willing to bet I can stab a dog to a quivering death long before it nicks one of my arteries. What about slitting a dogs throat? How long would he still have mobility after that, assuming I get through the trachea?
We have a retired Greyhound...only way she'll attack you is if you are covered in dog treats! Very good at wiping out most of the rabbit and chipmunk population in our yard, but not a threat intruders.
Mmmmmmm....Greyhounds love cats! But they're hungry again in about an hour.
I'll point something out that you said that might cause you to reevaluate her motivation for showing aggression in all of the situations you list.
There is no way that her behavior was an instinct to protect you when she started getting aggressive with the helper in your house. You weren't there.
Territorialism. Not protective.
Cut the trachea, you've just performed a tracheotomy. Used to open the airway if a person has a blockage above that in their throat. Blood vessels in the throat are what is vulnerable to cutting. Some predators clamp the trachea shut to strangle their prey, but that's a different thought, and takes minutes.
You will probably have time to cut an animal's throat if you let it chew on your other arm while you get your knife out. Better an arm than your neck, but not ideal.
Not having practiced big-assed-zombie-killing-knife quick draws, and knowing how fast an animal can move when it's serious about something, rather than posturing or warning, I expect I'd be seeing an arm specialist.
