Yeah, that looks pretty painful. But the text below the pics is wrong. Pit bulls do know when to quit. I\'ve dealt with a few of them.
Like any domestic dog, if you jam your thumb into its cheek, and push it between its teeth, the dog won\'t bite itself.
Granted, a pit bull will thrash about a lot longer than most other breeds, trying to get free of that kind of grip.
Also, managing to GET that grip on a pit bull isn\'t very easy, when it\'s trying to bite you. If you get attacked, your best bet is to try to get your fore-arm into it\'s mouth, and then keep kicking it as hard as you can. Or better yet, belly-flop onto it. Yes, your arm will get torn up pretty good, but odds are it\'ll stop moving first.
Bloody tough little buggers. Good thing the majority of them are actually sweet-hearts.
But keep them away from children, anyway.
