And then we go to my dog (Not saying I'm Ceaser Milan or anything), when someone comes to the door, she barks her head off. If you come inside she keeps her eye on you until someone comes and greets you. She gets the "message" that you are "okay".
What Francis will do is just want to play with you. Forever. And never want to stop :v:
My last encounter with a dangerous dog involved a Red Dead Redemption disc and blood so I can't really help.
If you're fast enough, side step to dodge it's lunges. In the likely case you're not fast enough, block your throat with your arm. The dog will latch onto your arm (better than your throat!) if you have time or foresight you can wrap a jacket or something around your arm.
When the dog is latched on, quickly, jab the snout with the palm of your hands. It will start thrashing about quite violently and this is a short time of oppurtunity. Gouge the eyeballs.
Source: I was attacked by a pitbull cross when I was 13. The dog latched onto my arm (again, thankfully wasn't my throat) and started thrashing around, bringing me to the ground. I tried to punch the snout off by hitting it on the side over and over again, that didn't work. Thankfully the owner came around and called the dog off me before things got too messy.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;45417093]Police are trained to basically break/dislocate both it's front legs by bending them sideways (upwards) if it lunges at you, which completely incapacitates the dog. I'm not saying I'm advocating breaking a dogs legs, but if you're being viciously mauled, it might save you.[/QUOTE]
Dad taught me this when I was a knee-high grasshopper.
He's an ex-cop though.
I don't know what animal services are like in your area, but there's probably a case for the dog being taken away from her if she's treating it poorly, which it seems like she is
I heard from a friend about a friend of his who had shitty neighbors that had a vicious big dog that barked all night and all day and tried to attack people but since there were no proof the police couldn't do anything. One day he got so tired of it that he took rat-poison and put it in a hot dog and threw it to the dog when no one saw - and he could sleep well ever since.
That's just what I heard about.

You might as well should just chuck your shit at it like a monkey if you're going to go all primal on them.[/QUOTE]
This. The shit works on grizzlies and big cats and is pretty much a necessity if you are going camping or hiking in the boonies.
It is SUPER hardcore though, so use caution because you do NOT want it on you.

Rat poison? Thats fucking low man, nothing deserves to die like that.
[QUOTE=Recurracy;45417054]About six years ago while I delivered newspapers, I came across this psycho bitch who said I damaged her neighbour's car with my bike and she ordered me to go inside so she can call the cops on me (it didn't happen, it was raining that day and I barely scraped the car with my postal bags, the damage she claimed was damaged paint, I brushed over it to show her it was just a streak of water). I refused and cycled away to go on with my paper round. However, her vile rottweiler came after me and she started freaking out on me. I guess that since then she has some sort of personal vendetta against me. She apparently has an elephant's memory because today, I met her again while preparing to deliver mail (I work at the postal service now).
I drove around a corner on a cycling path, close to a dog park where she happened to walk her dog. The first thing I hear is that fucking vile dog growling at me and jumping at me. I brake and don't look at the dog and keep my cool in order to show it that I don't mean harm. The first thing she says while staring me in the eye, is 'I fucking know you. You're the piece of shit who damaged my car'. I said, 'No, that's not true. That was water'. She says, 'well you're autistic so you don't know any fucking better'. I got so fucking mad, I leant over to her, stared her in the eye and said, 'You're glad I don't fucking knock you out cold right now' and cycled away. Of course the dog came after me.
I have to deliver mail right where she lives tomorrow and the day after. Knowing her past and her mental condition (she's been in a mental institution before, crazy thing is that they're not allowed to keep them in there if the patient believes they can be relieved), I'm afraid she might just be able to send that fucking dog after me to shred me to pieces. How the hell do I defend myself from that thing? I'm not that strong, so trying to beat it in a wrestling match would likely end up with me being shred to pieces. However I'm not gonna give up on delivering mail there just because she happens to live there.
I'm not afraid of her or her dog, it's just that I don't like the possibility of having my muscles torn off my bones.[/QUOTE]
Buy a pistol. (If legal where you live.)
The OP hasn't replied in a couple of days. I wonder if he is now considered dog food.
Urinate to mark your territory, be sure to get a proper box around the owner's house to demonstrate to the dog that it cannot enter your territory. If there isn't enough time just spin in a careful circle and make sure you enclose yourself in a territorial circle. From there I recommend you call for help immediately to ensure the dog doesn't simply wait for the urine to evaporate on the pavement.

Do you know this from experience
[QUOTE=VietRooster2;45541356]Do you know this from experience[/QUOTE]
Yes, do you ever wonder why dogs piss on every post? The posts are picked a easily identifiable landmarks to illustrate to the dog what his or her boundaries are. If this determined mail-man is to proceed with his duties he will be sure to drink an extra cup of coffee the next morning and get ready to blast some perimeters. Only then will the dog realize it's puny existence compared to the heroic newspaper-wielding man.

I am not a mailman though, if that's what you were asking.
If legal, invest in a tazer. Doggie'd have to be right on top of you so you'd still get a bite or two, but I'm sure a few jolts, even from a cheap 9V, would probably put him in his place.
If you have a GoPro, I'd suggest you wear it and film the route (or just when you're approacing her house), and see how it unfolds.

I report, OP is still alive.
As I type this he's doing his mail round. (well, in the past few weeks since he posted this he went out daily to do a round)
I would kill the dog if it was trying to maul me if I had to (Unless it's a tiny dog or something)
To people who think a dog attack isn't that bad... Dogs absolutely do not fuck around. THEY WILL tear your shit, and it will not be fun. You will be in a very large amount of pain.
Non lethal ways, spray, tasers, batons, but if you're weak like me you'd need a knife over a baton. But I doubt you want to kill anyone (or dog in this case).

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;45447352]If an animal is posing a threat to your life you should be using deadly force.
[editline]20th July 2014[/editline]
of course that spray might be a good idea.[/QUOTE]
I'd risk spraying my own injury to get a dog off
it'd be worth the pain if effective
[QUOTE=onebit;45417066]Punch the snout.[/QUOTE]
Exactly I had a big dog try to attack my little dog last year and I kicked it in the nose as hard as I could and it ran away in two seconds.

And then the dog owner will sue you for using bear mace on a dog.
[QUOTE=coldroll5;45768268]And then the dog owner will sue you for using bear mace on a dog.[/QUOTE]
I think if a frenzied attack dog is charging at you you should have every right to use lethal force, such as a gun.
At least with bear spray the dog will live (presumably)
[QUOTE=kaskade700;45460671]Give it a club to the skull and collapse its throat while it's disoriented, watch vile bitch cry.
In case you wonder no I do not like dogs.[/QUOTE]
So because you don't like dogs it justifies killing one?
Screw you!
The only scenario in which murdering someones pet is justifiable is when the pet poses an immediate and lethal danger.
There are non-lethal ways to handle this situation, as everyone else said in the thread, call the cops, carry bear mace when going near the area and don't try to fight the dog, pitbulls are fucking tough and they don't go down that easily.
