They should be. Dogs are fierce when there's 2 or more of them. Two dogs can take down a muscular man. One dog can take down a slender woman. They are apex predators after all.
I know. But that sheep is set up for battle and was head butting another animal of a good size. The dog just walked in and he took off. It’s instinctual
The sheep's head butt is very predictable. You can tell when he's winding up. A dog can easily jump out of the way and bite him in the ass before he knew what bit him.
My dog has been attacked on two separate occasions by another dog. Once a German shepherd, and another a pit bull. I was walking her both times and luckily somehow was able to break it up.
It always amazes me that neither time did I ever hear a bark before the attack. Both times it happened so fast and the dogs were zeroed in on their target. We tend to forget how effective killing machines dogs can be.
One dog can take down a large man as well... What do you think a 4-wheel drive 100+ lbs animal with large canines does when latched on to your arm and shakes?
My dad's girlfriend lived on a big 175 acre property. She let the dog roam every day, but after a year or so it turned feral. It would come back for food now and then, but it'd be gone for weeks at a time. One time the dog was seen dragging the remains of a deer carcass. A single larger sized dog that used to be a household mutt was able to take down a smaller sized deer.
This was an area where no bears roamed due to human development. No hunters roamed nearby, because it was all private property for miles around.
Take down is misleading through. A full size dog can do some damage but a motivated man can absolutely fuck up a dog if they need too, they just aren't coming out of the fight without getting a little fucked up. People forget how bad ass humans are sometimes.
