If you’re in a Life/Death situation with that Pitbull, and you don’t have any weapons on you.

You can jab your finger/thumb in its eye.

An old-black-man on the news was being dragged by a Pitbull, he jammed his thumb in its eye, and it let go of him.

it’s simple and effective, the eye is so sensitive and you’re not killing the dog, you’re saving your life and simultaneously not killing the dog.

if you beat on the body/head it won’t really bother the pitbull, those are superficial attacks it can ignore, no animal has “strong eyes”.
