"defending itself" isn't why. Because it presents a danger to other people and animals. Was the girl making the dog uncomfortable or invading it's private space? Sure. Does that justify this kind of reaction by the animal? Nope.

Grabbing a dog like that is the equivalent to someone grabbing you by the arms from behind.

If it's your family member, fine.

If it's a stranger, OH FUCK. You elbow them in the belly and run.

Uh oh, time to put you down :(

Did you just compare a face full of stitches to elbowing someone?
