Roger that. It is often overlooked how effective as weapons are
the humans' opposable thumbs. In a fight between a dog of equal
weight and a properly mentally prepared human, I would bet on
the human. She would come out damaged, but she could strangle
the dog. Pound for pound, a naked human and a wild cat would
be about an even match. Any weapon would favor the human.
Dogs have a sense about this. If threatened by a dog, show him
your hands and your teeth. He will back down. He knows you
can total him with your hands. spike
