I was unexpectedly attached by a Pit Bull just the other day. I was looking at a house (part of my job) when a large white female pit bull came tearing down a deck stairway I was standing next to. She was so powerful I really had very little chance, especially since I was caught completely by surprise. I could not hold her at bay for long and inevitably, she worked her way right up to my face. The owner immediately pulled her away and apologized for the unwarranted attack. I told him it was OK, that I've been powerfully licked many times by dogs through the years. Dog slobber will dry, though I do wish he would have waited to feed her until after I left. The smell of canned dog food just kind of sticks with you.
