You should have seen me last week trying to protect my pitbull from another dog trying to attack him. I am sure it was hilarious watching it happen. I was kicking in every direction the dog was coming at my pup. I wasn't afraid for my dog, I was afraid the other dog would get more than he bargained for. Plus I didn't want my beauty marked up with scars or worse. His parents finally got a hold of him until we get on down the street. He had escaped his leash and collar, time for a harness like my pup has.
