They are incredibly strong but I have a 200 lb weight advantage. So if I know I am going to get bit I will try to get it to lock on to my forearm. Once its on my arm, I can get it up into the air and then body-slam it into the ground by landing right on top of it with all 270 lbs of my body weight. If possible I will also drive my knee into its ribs/midsection on my way down. Pit bulls don't have arms or hands so if they are locked onto you then you can take the thumb of your free hand and use it to dig their eyeball out. You have to put fear aside and unleash your inner animal in order to survive a fight with a pit bull. It is for that reason that I make every effort to befriend the pit bulls on my route with biscuits. Its better to make friends than enemies.
I too had a strategy for bad dogs but, it vanished when faced with the angry jaws of a red-nosed demon about 6 years ago.
I did everything right. Shook the gate. Called out "UPS"! Nothing. Proceeded onto the property and out of nowhere, she came.
Had the package in one hand and DIAD IV in the other. She came at me full speed and got a snout full of amazon which she promptly took away from me. She kept coming and got a couple whacks from the board, till the handle broke off and it was her and I.
She bit me on both legs and hands(one hand required stitches) before the owner came out and restrained her. The whole thing happened in a matter of seconds.
I had a plan but, it evaporated when confronted with reality.
I'd bet that's how most dog bites/attacks go down.
