However a good neighbor of mine dog was attacked and nearly died by a pit bull when he released his black lab. Similar thoughts as JRMEN but totally different scenario. The pit bull owner actually took pride in has dog's attack! My neighbor took it to court and something about how court treats animal attacks made the proceedings a losing battle. I would go with SIKSUKR approach. A dog attacked my daughter who sprayed the dog with mace. It works temporally and the dog was angrier then ever! My daughter was able to get in the car and drove off with the dog chasing her a good many blocks.
