Yesterday afternoon, my wife, daughter and I met up with another family at a local playground. While there a lady showed up with her children and a golden retriever on a leash. The dog was a 1 1/2 year old male. We pet the dog for a while (my daughter loves dogs). A short time later, another dog showed up. This one was a 2-3 year old Akita-Pitbull mix. I'm sure most here know that a pitbull is a very aggressive dog. The Akite is one of the only breed of dog that can actually kill a pitbull in a fight. So this mix of dog is very big, strong and aggressive. The person walking the dog was an 8 year old girl (if that dog wanted to take off, there is nothing the girl can do to stopit) As soon as I saw that dog, I told my wife to keep an eye on it and we moved the kids away from that dog.
Wouldnt ya know it! Not 5 minutes after that, the two dogs got into a fight.
There were about 25 kids on the playground. No one was trying to break up the two dogs. The lady that owned the golden retriever wa pulling her dog away by yakning on the leash. The akita was aggressively attacking the other dog. The little girl holding the Akita got scared and dropped the leash.
This is where I had to step in. I didnt want the Akite to kill the other dog, escepially in fornt of all of those kids. I also didnt want any kids getting torn up by the dog. No one was trying to stop this, they just stood there yelling at the dogs. So I went over to break it up.
I pushed the goldens head to the left, and put it in a headlock in a manner that it could not bite me. As soon as I did this, he tried to roll over ( a sign of submission of dogs). The akita saw it s chance to attack while I was on the other dog. I kicked the akita in the face very hard. It stunned him and forced him to back off.
After he backed off, now he was pissed at me. As he got ready to come back for a bite, I pulled up the side of my t-shirt to get my pistol (Oh yeah, in case some here do not know I am a poloiceman). I really didnt want to shoot the dog, but it was quickly coming to that.
From the beginning of this incident, I was doing all of this in an effort to break up the fight, and if necessary shoot the dog. I did not want to be forced to shoot the dog in front of kids. The main resaon for this is the fact that kids were everywhere and i didnt want to risk missing the dog and hitting a kid. So the only way I could be in the position to kill the dog is if I was very, very close. Close enough to put the muzzle of the pistol on the dog. Still there is a chacne of the bullet going through the dog and keep goin. SO I had to be able to shoot the dog in a downward angle so the bullet will go into the ground if it went through the dog.
Anyway, back to the pissed off Akita, as it was getting ready to attack, I began to pull my pistol while still holding the golden down. I would have to get bitten to let the dog get close enough to shoot. As I pulled my glock, another dad had the opportunity to grab the leash of the akita.
Thankfully, the man was able to stop the akita from advancing on me and I didnt have to kill a dog infront of my daughter and a bunch of other kids.
Needless to say, I had choice words for the parents of the girl walking the akita.
Fortunately, no one was hurt except the golden had been bit a couple times, (nothing serious) and I bet the akita had one hell of a headache after being kicked in the head with a size 11 combat boot!
