Comment on Honk at me again you long neck fuck, see what happens.

A 5 kg dog can also scare off plenty of people. That doesn’t mean an average grown person can’t punt it across the yard if push comes to shove. Plenty of videos out there show what happens when one of these animals actually goes after someone’s kid… the kid usually ends up fine to put it that way.

Had a few dogs come after me. The difficult part is I would rather not hurt a dog, it is the owner who deserves a punch in the face.
Usually happens when I am on a bike which is a bit of an awkward position to respond to an ankle biter. I don’t want to run it over but I also don’t want to stop moving away. Of course if I had to I could flatten it with my bike.

Exactly! There’s also the significant point that you could get bit in the process of kicking away said dog, and the bite could give you an infection, which all comes back to why we (like most animals) will go very far to avoid a physical altercation.
Basically, fighting shit can be dangerous, even in situations where you easily come out on top 10/10 times. That doesn’t mean the fucking chihuahua has a chance.
