How to Survive a Dog Attack

Hey guys! Have you ever been attacked by a dog?
Here're some more survival tips krplus.net/bidio/m89-eKFjY6GalYI

No matter how many times we watch this we always gonna end it up by running like a pro😅🤣

Dog: Starts chasing me
Owner: Dont worry he doesn’t bite!
Dog: Bites me
Owner: Surprised pikachu face

I work as a delivery driver. The amount of dog owners who think it’s okay for their dog to roam free while I’m expected to leave food on their door step is appalling.

This happened to me just a day after my 19th birthday when I was going for a morning walk . There were 3 dogs and they were attacking a little girl who was about 6-7 years old and was riding a bicycle.I ran and grabbed their attention by kicking them and then I lifted the girl up . They left the girl and started attacking me . Two of them were biting both my legs and one of them was holding my left arm . I left the girl and was continuously moving my limbs with force so that they couldn’t get a proper hold of me . Then suddenly I punched one of them on the head and he was knocked out . The other two ran away as I gave them some smashes too . I got 6 stitches on my right leg and 3 on the left knee . I wonder they would have killed that 7 years old girl if I was not present there at that moment .

This moment when you are attacked by a dog and immediately search for a tutorial how to protect yourself

"Stand sideways to appear slimmer"
Yeah that doesn't work in the USA

I agree with "not showing you're scared". I've had tons of encounter with mad dogs who seems threatened by me, but i just walk normally. Some even run fast towards me, but was just sniffing my slippers/foot. Dont show youer threatened, but be ready to fight with all your killer energy when it bites you.

For all those people telling their successful stories of running at the dog and making growling noises...I would like to share my own experience. I'm 110 lbs and the German shepherd that was charging at me continued to charge at me. I was pinned down and luckily other people came to help just in time. So no, it doesn't always work... probably easier if you're big.

Once I had been chased by 8-9 dogs for no reason when I was jogging, I screamed at those dogs and started to run towards them like gorrila charge they all told "sorry pal "and started running in other direction.

Hopefully dogs don't watch this

"Dogs are faster, there's no chance you can run away"
Usain Bolt: "Challenged Accepted"

After fighting off 5 dogs once, I carry a knife on me whenever I’m out walking and would have no problem eviscerating any dog that attempts an attack..I would also go for their eyes as well. I’ve heard that using your keys to gouge out the eyes will make a dog release its bite if it has locked on to you and at that point definitely do not let them shake their heads. .

I had no idea how common serious injuries were from dogs until I volunteered in an animal shelter. During the years that I worked there, literally EVERY SINGLE week, the animal control officer saw at least one dog bite bad enough to send someone to the hospital. Dog attacks are a silent epidemic that, because it's so extremely common, doesn't even make the news unless the dog attacks a child or kills someone. It's kind of crazy that we don't have more laws to protect people in public from dog attacks.

Me and my two year old were attacked by a dog last year while playing in a park. He didn’t look vicious at first and had a collar on so I figured he got out of the yard and just wanted to play. I picked up my son and stayed calm while the dog kept barking then started snarling like it was angry. That’s when I got worried. Since I had nothing to throw and was holding my baby, I remained indifferent to the dog and started scoping out the area for the owner but there was nobody around. I slowly started walking away from it and that’s when it decided to latch onto my ankle. I’m only 5ft tall and with my kid I knew I couldn’t fight it off so I screamed and screamed then fell when the dog latched and thrashed. I thought it wanted to eat my son so I tucked him under me and curled myself in a ball the best I could around him and held my hands over the back of my neck. Literally knees to elbows fetal position over my son. Trying to kick the dog wasn’t working so I hunkered down. The dog finally let go of my leg and I thought my tactic worked but then started going for my head. I didn’t see what happened but I heard a lot of shouting over my son screaming and crying and some thuds and popping sounds and then it all stopped. The dog bit through my boot where I still have scars and some scarring on my scalp where hair doesn’t grow anymore my my son was unharmed. Thankfully someone heard me and helped or else idk what would have happened. I suspect the worst. A few people whose houses backed up to the park, which I learned after, started beating it and once they got it off me and it started going after others another man shot it. (They were a licensed carrier btw). This is Texas after all. What infuriated me the most was that the dog owner tried to sue the guy who shot the dog that attacked me 🤦‍♀️ overall, a terrible and horrific experience and please stand up for those who take action. I don’t think I or my baby would still be here if it wasn’t for these people who helped. Especially the man that ended that dog.

My friends dog who id never met got my hand and started shaking it’s head with his jaw locked. I didn’t move and didn’t try to break lose. I said NO. He immediately let go. I just stood there next to him and he ended up walking away. Idk why I did any of those things in the moment, it was so painful I was kind of in shock but it worked in my favor thankfully

I was once going to our society's phase 2 garden. In my way a dog came. But I avoided direct eye contact with it. It found me safe and left me alone. Thank u so much.

*"Dont Try To Run"*
Me: **Runs Like A Cheetah**

I've been a Certified Deputy Animal Control Officer for 11 years and this is all good advice. I will add that anything you can defend yourself that is in between you and the dog's mouth is good.
Examples: your shoe/boot, a purse or a rolled up jacket or almost anything. The idea is to put an out stretched barrier in between the dog's mouth (teeth) and your body, hands, etc. Most people want to hit a dog, but that may not work and may just make the dog even more aggressive. Simply use what you have in hand in between you and the dog and then slowly walk towards safety without letting the dog come at you from a different angle or circling behind you. If you are knocked down during an attack, fight back, fingers in dog's eyes may be an option. Some people have survived vicious attacks by playing dead at some point, but you must protect your face and neck at all times and at all cost.
I wear a badge, but my metal clip board is really my shield as I walk towards aggressive dogs with no fear which makes most dogs uncomfortable, calling their bluff, and turning most dogs into scared little chickens, I said most, but not all dogs. Some dogs are extremely dangerous and relentless, as well as some dog owners.

I got attacked by almost 6 dogs when I was walking alone to a friend's house, and you know what being calm actually helped me alot and if I panicked a bit I couldn't have been here writing this comment =￣ω￣=

I was attacked by a labrador like a week ago, I was just out running as usual on a road with very little or almost no traffic and 2 dogs came out from the corn fields like 25 feet in front of me, and one of them immediately started to come in my direction pretty aggresively I stopped and started backinf away very slowly and I picked up a big rock in case there will be no other option just to fight back, the dog didn't stop though he was coming closer and closer I yelled at him in hungarian "MARS" witch we say to dogs when we want them to go away. He didn't stop for this either and he was really close to me like 7-8 feet when I had no other option but to throw the rock at him, and so I threw the rock as hard as I could and I hit him on the neck (it was very satisfying) and he turned around and went back to the corn field with his dog friend, but didn't make any sound the whole time tho wich was a bit wierd, so yea that's my story:)

“don’t panic”
dog: w-
me: *yells and sprints away*

I think yelling for help is the most suitable way 😂😂😂

This literally just happened to me. I was at the end of my run. And this white pit bull popped out on me. I pretty much did everything in this video. I stood still I wasn’t really sideways but I stood my ground. We were face to face for about 3 4 minutes before the owner finally got there. My fist weren’t clinched. It eventually started waggin it’s tail but I still felt the threat I’m just glad the owner came. I wasn’t trying to get bit. But I put it in my mind that it was a possibility so I was like whatever.

'Don't make eye contact'
Well whenever I pass by a dog, I keep looking back repeatedly just to check if am getting chased

1 hour after watching this video, I was attacked by two dogs. I didn't notice that it was their territory. This video probably saved my life so thanks and take my like

Love the no-eye-contact thing. That always works like a charm! First time I tried it, the dog got so irritated by me not noticing him, that he actually ran away in panic. That was cool!

Bro, this helped me a lot. My mate's dog tried to fight me and I managed to escape, thank you SO MUCH!!!

When there's a lack of control by the owners, it's very important to stay as calm and confident as possible, as untrained dogs get tense over people that's tense (I know it's the owners' responsibility to correct this - this is useful for the some of these not ideal cases we can come across with).
In my experience as a dog owner, me and my dogs have been attacked by very untrained dogs who were excessively dominant, and staying passively still didn't help - they kept on dominating.
I had to stay calm, and at the same time dominant. Taking one step forward, raising one of my hands and saying a loud and confident "Hey - No." while looking the dogs straight for 1 second and then looking to another side, to have them see I'm not taunting them to fight. So, I'd polish the explanation of what to do when they keep attacking - thus applying the "look to the side" technique and aplying a bit more of dominance with a step forward.
Of course, the ideal thing is to tell the owner to take responsibility and have them control their dogs (which is not always the case, as some don't even know how to do that).

Dog : charges at me
Me : Yells "Back away"
Dog : Understandable have a nice day

I'm faster more than the dog when I'm running for my life 😂

I got bark by 3 dogs this morning I have no idea what to do. I got scared but a security help me out of a situation. This video have been very help full to me

I was on my way to home from the school when a random stray dog decided to follow me. It kept walking next to me, and behind me, like, just following me around. I didnt stop and just continued walking, after like 10 minutes they got bored. My guess was that they were hungry

One time last year, (I was 14 at the time,) I was out riding my bike and I saw 4 large dogs on the road ahead. When they saw me, they started barking and running towards me.3 of the dogs stood back a bit, but one dog was sort of like the ring leader. I firmly yelled at him, and when that didn't work and he was right up alongside me trying to bite, I started kicking him in the face. Even that didn't work, and he bit my bikes rear tire, causing it to lock up and me to fall over. The tread on my tire must have hurt his mouth, because he backed away to the other side of the road, giving me enough time to get back on my bike and start running. I got about a mile down the road, and called my dad, and when I got home we drove back to the scene. The dogs were still outside barking at our van, and we called animal control and gave them the address. But because the dogs never bit me, the most they understand do was to give the owners a big fine. I have avoided that road like the plague ever since.

If we wanna run faster than a dog, run like the dog
Modern problems need modern solutions

This is kinda accurate considering my own experience.
my co-worker was telling me that this certain customer let their dog out every time he goes to
their backyard. he said the dog would run at him full speed and he would jump the gate
everytime. this was my first time working at this property so i told him i would go back there.
I was just being curious, i thought he was being scary.
well, i get to the middle of the yard and i see the dog barking from inside. then i see a little boy opening the door for the dog without paying attention to what he's barking at, regardless to say the dog did come running with a strong intention to bite. luckly i already have a mindset of staying calm. i sat there and told him "Hey Get Back. No! Stop. Stoop It." until the little boy came after realizing what was going on. he was actually getting close and launching at me but he never bitt me. after he was calm i got to his level, stuck out my backhand and let him sniff me and we we're cool.
so i agree with this video.

Thank you for the tips

I tried to pretend to pick something off the ground and throw it but the dog looked at me like I was an idiot

I been chased by 8 dogs in my life so far and none of them caught me😂 I been gifted with speed and endurance I guess 😅

thank you bright side, yesterday only i was attacked by a dog and when i used your survival tips it actually worked

Quite interesting and professional
Thanks

My dog wouldn’t stop chasing people on bikes, so I took the bike off him

I shouted 'No! Back Away!' and the dog bit me. Oh, I forgot we don't speak English. 😂

Thank you! Merci beaucoup ! شكرا جزيلا

A dog just broke free from its owner and chased me at the park. I came here to make sure I did the right thing which was stop moving and look away from the dog. Yessss! I knew I heard about this before.

Stray dog: *barks at me*
My trained German Shepherd: allow me to introduce myself
Edit: BACK FRKM 11 MONTHS AGO

In every case, running directly at it and making myself appear bigger while roaring at the top of my lungs works.

This is why I never ride at big roads and quiet streets.When I was 13 I was cycling in a village and all of a sudden two dogs chased me and I panicked so I fell of the bike. Thank goodness there was this nice man that helped me chase away the dogs and accompanied me home

Thanks to this videos and my brain for remember watching it 2-3 years ago. I just survived 5 difference dogs pack last night while I walk 14km to my home. What I did was avoid eyes contact but keep them in sight, slowly walking away or change road side if necessary and make fists. 2 of them actually try to bit me when I turn my back on them but I react fast before they came any closer to me.

I remember a dog came running at me from the side as I was walking. I stayed still and didn't make eye contact. He jumped up and bit me anyway. Text book responses don't always work because an animal just like people are unpredictable.

My 7 year old brother got bite by a dog in after school. 😔 we took him to the hospital in the second day. The doctors said he will be ok but after a week my brother’s skin got so red and his skin was itching we took him to hospital again they gave him medicine and he got a little better my brother thought that the doctors would cut his arms because his arms got so red and itchy. So this the 3 week after the dog bite and now my brother’s skin is getting red almost every day and he is so scared 😓 we took him to the hospital again but the doctors just give some medicine and I wish he will get better. Please pray for my little brother 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thanks you so much

Thanks, I needed this. My mother-in-law is meeting me next week.

“We’re humans, top of the food chain” is what i always say to myself, when im getting attacked by any animal. This gives me the confidence to defend myself, its weird but yeh it helps

I was a paperboy and was constantly attacked on my bicycle route by dogs their owner's swore never bit anyone. Even the nicest customer's became defensive when it came to their dogs biting me and often accused me of provoking their "baby". I stopped complaining because it was futile. Instead I brought a tennis racquet which I stored in my rear basket. The moment one of these dogs came out of their yards into the street or sidewalk to bite my legs, they received a strong "Arthur Ash" back swing. The cat gut strings made their heads bounce without wounding them and they usually went running back to their homes yelping all the way. If their owner's came outdoors, they only saw "the paperboy" calmly delivering the newspapers to other neighbors.

Thank you for video

Great video. And great humor.

i tried this with my neighbours dog, now im in the hospital

Wow thanks so much 😃

Yes

Here is how I had survived an attack from a group of dogs, may be more than 15, in an open ground. Firstly I didn’t afraid or run when dogs came forward to me. I was bold and made a loud voice to scare them. I was having my laptop bag and tried to protect myself using it. But dogs were still barking at me and came closer and closer. It took more than two minutes and I could not walk. Some dogs tried to create a circle around me to round me up. Then I took a STONE from the ground that was ten meters away and all dogs stopped barking and started running. Always remember guys, STONE is very important weapon for which most dogs afraid and never forget about it in those situations.

Me when a dog is running at my direction : okay dont panic chill tf out
My brain : lalalalallalala you will panic hhahahaha it will bite you

Thanks bright side, these tips may safe my life one day, if I am ever attacked by a dog 🐶.......

Thanks for saving my life

last time a stray dog attacked me I smacked it in the head with a coke bottle, the bottle broke and the dog ran with its tail between its legs.
i lost my coke that day. i regret my actions

Throw my phone away with a cat photo on the screen

I work as a teacher in a tutoring center.
At 7pm today I was leaving, when 2 of the students were teasing a dog outside the center. The moment I left, one of them scared the dog and it went to the opposite side where I was.
I suddenly saw a huge black dog coming towards me.
I'm a science teacher, I know all the stuff about it sensing fear, don't run and stuff.
It was a tight space, couldn't help it, my heart was on the ground. I tried to continue walking normally but couldn't. Walked faster a bit and kinda ran a little.
Glanced back, it was still after me.
Kid you not I ran hoping i'll get into one of the near shops.
Crossed a street and it didn't cross after me. I was safe.
I miracly survived. It was a really really big dog I swear, nearly half my size, i'm 170cm tall.
I was like, i'm already afraid, it can sense that. Also it was teased and scared, if I tried scaring it away it would definitely bite me, cause it was irritated already.
I was ready to marathon run the 15 minutes route to my house rather than standing still in that place looking at the ground 😭

Sometimes man's best friend can be your worst enemy.

“Don’t make it sound like your a five year old”
Five year olds: *bruh*

You forgot one more thing. Part 4 - chase the dog and bite it

I don't know if this should, but actually works for me every time, when a dog shows aggression signs I just keep my distance and completely ignore it

Tomorrow I have to go to my geography teacher's house. I came to see this for fear that the dogs in Techer's neighbors' houses. Lol😂

I have been attacked by the dog yesterday of my morning run,3 dogs sorrounded me,I just stopped and close my eyes till the owner came and allows them to get inside.Thank God I'm still alive!

1. Diss the dog
tell him he is a bad boy
Then challenge him to a rap battle.

This has happened to me twice with strays. The first time, it saw me and started running towards me. With all the courage and mental strength I could muster, I kneeled slowly and spoke to it calmly, and lowered myself below his snout and eyes. This let the dog know that I’m not here for trouble and I was not a threat to its territory. I have 2 dogs that are a little too playful sometimes with each other and I’ve seen one of them do this to the other. I almost peed myself out of fear. The dog immediately stopped barking and as I tried to pet it it started waging its tail. I moved backwards on my knees and then turned around and got up and started slowly walking away. It followed me for a little while but I didn’t want to engage again so I didn’t pay attention and it eventually left. Less dramatic the second time, but more or less same story.
Glad it wasn’t a rabid one. If the dog is rabid, this might not work.

I was recently attacked by some dogs and I did ALL of the first tips, they left me alone. Who knew watching these videos for fun would actually come in handy one day. Thanks Brightside

I just bark back

Verry helpful advice. But where can I listen to that background music?

What to do when you are attacked by a group of dogs ?
Coz I was in that situation when a group of dogs was sitting on my way completely blocked to cross the other side. So I avoided messing with them and changed my route to home the other way around. But that day was like the unluckiest day of my life. Again there was one dog which tried to grudge me whenever I tried to cross in front of it. I tried the 2nd time to cross but it started raging even more. I panicked so hard that this time without thinking I walked back the same path from home in reverse manner. Hoping to reach home somehow safely after jogging. Finally reached home safely.😢
From that day onwards I never went for running alone. But sometimes I go with my brother.

I would let the dog smell my feet and he'll literally die. 😪

Well, it works. Me and my brother were chased by a dog. At first, we both ran but I stood still and he smelled a little bit of my shoes and ran to my brother who was running and doing parkour.

Every time i came home from a night duty shift as a nurse i stayed at my grandma’s house who’s just a 1km walk away from my work. theres a group of around 7-8 stray dogs roaming around at the subdivision at night. And so i use to bring a pop up umbrella because of this, one day they all lounge and barking at me, i popped my umbrella out as a weapon ready to hit them with it..and started screaming at them, i also picked up small rocks to throw at them. and once they were backing away i chased them back.. i was angry and i was scared but i was really ready to fight like adrenaline kicked in. This is why im bringing my umbrella to use as a stick to hit them with just in case i encounter them again.

I just stood there screaming and trying to cover my face and body
Same situation happened to me today
One known girl came to help me.. Man i got my heart out..

I was walking down a residential street in Mexico with my grandma when a pack of small Chihuahuas and poodles ran up and starting biting us. My nanny picked me up and put me on her shoulders while getting bitten all over her legs. Finally some man yelled from his house and they all ran away.

I also faced a stray dog, and that time I was not aware about any step! So when I faced that dog, I shrieked and yelled and then ran away to my home restlessly. 😅😅😅

I was once attacked by a pit bull at my apartment complex. The dog was on a leash but was so strong that it broke the leash when it charged, it came right at me I didn’t run but screamed loud it backed of but then again came at me I screamed again and it backed off one more time thankfully for me that was enough time for the dog owner to come and calm the dog down.

Last week, I encountered a bunch of stray dogs. I approached them in hopes of feeding them but they were barking aggressively at me. I left them some water on a plate. Then slowly & calmly walked away, I felt embarrassed bc other people saw the dogs barking at me as I did my walk of shame. But as soon as I got in my car. I saw that the dogs noticed the water & began drinking. I felt happy that I helped. My mindset was that these dogs are territorial/scared and they mean no harm that's why I didn't instantly run. But I should've avoided the eye contact for sure

**Dog barks**
Me: Back away!
Dog: ok :(

Best way for survive : Pretend that you are picking up stone😂😂

Haha, watching this after it happened to me today.
I was almost late for my school bus, so i was running to get to the street where the bus stops. Suddenly i heard loud barks. Looked to my side and saw 5 stray dogs charge towards me. I just stood still and tried to look tough doing it; since i knew that's the best thing i can do. Looked at them, and shouted back at them too. After a few seconds they walked back. Then some guy at the end of the ally yelled "DON'T RUN WHEN YOU'RE NEAR EM!" to which i loudly thanked him for his advice.
Honestly though after reading the comments I'm noticing how lucky i was as it seems many couldn't pull the same act and got attacked and bitten anyways. Though i gotta say it was quite an adrenaline-rushed way to start my morning 😂 It was also a decent and rather fun experience since it was my first time being attacked by wild animals. Learned a few lessons.

very helpfull video

As a young teenager walking home from school an aggressive dog came at me. I was very afraid but wanted to live. So I picked up a rock and through it at the dog missing it by a few inches. It turned and ran after the rock and brought it back to me and dropped it.
We became friends. It still scared me but I just kept a rock in my pocket

I m very very thankful to BRIGHT SIDE ..... because it helped me from a ROTTWEILER attack....A well grown ROTTWEILER crossed my way when I was going to market..As the dog looked very aggressive on me and ready for an attack ....I looked around for help.... Nobody was there to help....On that time THIS VIDEO came to. My mind , for the fear of being subjected for more trashing i followed the techniques in this video...at last when the dog make jump over me i fell down as it is well grown......I caught the dogs neck and maked a punch on its nose...It left me.....By gods grace i was saved....So THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRIGHT SIDE FOR SAVING MY LIFE

Thx Bright Side, before seeing this video like 5 months ago a dog chased me and my friends am 11 years old and I got scared and all my friends ran and I was at the last, I ran and I got safe cuz the dog just went away...I will keep this in mind to never run

very helpful

I got bit by a pit bull on my leg in July. I was in the hospital for one day and immobilized for two weeks. He was dragging me around and shaking his head. I was SCARED. But when he first bit me, it didnt hurt. It didn't hurt until after the adrenaline rush. But the thing about pit bulls is when they bite you, their jaws lock so my aunt had to unclenched his jaw from my leg. I thought I was gonna die. Thank God I made it

Lol.... I used to get attacked by dogs all the time when I took my dog for a walk..... So what I did was go alone to the dogs' area give them some biscuits and get friendly with them and whola they stopped attacking me when I take my dog for a walk.... They just sit there and watch us without following or anything.....

I just runs in another dog's territory so they fight 😂😂 and the dog forgets me😂😂

I've watched this many times and still end up running like Bolt
