Imagine the biggest, strongest dog you can on a leash... pulling against a normal man he will go nowhere, and be led by the man.
Fanciful, uninformed, ignorant bullshit. Try that with a German Shepherd or Czechoslovakian Vlcak sometime, all 300 pounds of you. Once the road-rash heals, come back and report.

A fully grown man is stronger than a dog, that is undeniable.
It is deniable, and it -has been- denied, a few posts back, by a person who until recently made his living working with dogs. Walt is very nearly your weight (all muscle and hair), and was paid by the US Army to train and use German Shepherds. -He- is the one in this conversation who knows what he's talking about, so I'd listen to him before spouting this nonsense.

Quote:
In a real life situation - without police with guns to back the dog up - if a police dog was set lose on its own against the average criminal, the dog would be killed.
Interesting. Got any proof this has ever happened? Anywhere? Anything to back up your assertion other than uninformed opinion? C'mon, gimme one: a Police dog turned loose against an "average" or even a decidedly "above average" crim and killed. If you can find me five instances at all, I'll be amazed. If you can find one where a criminal killed the K9 without the use of a firearm, next time I transit to Prague through England your next trip to Stringfellows is on me; drinks and everything.

but if it came to it, the dog would die, not me.
Then I'm sure you can find lots of instances of people killing Pitbulls when attacked. Please do. Please post them here.

The simple mechanics that I weigh over twice as much,
No debate here.

am physically stronger,
Bullshit.
Quote:
am capable of greater depths of aggression
Bullshit.
Quote:
and more intelligent methods of combat
Debatable.
Quote:
will doom the dog.
Bullshit.

Quote:
dogs are arrogant enough to want to attack me and think they would win.
Dogs are not arrogant. They are highly-evolved, indeed artificially-evolved with the help of human's superior intelligence, superpredators. Pound-for-pound they are among the strongest animals on the planet. Let's see you and four friends of similar size pull a sled that weighs as much as the five of you together at 15mph. Let's see y'all pull that sled -at all-. Now consider the Iditarod, and the fact that Inuit and other First Nations folks have been using dogs about the size of a Pittbull to haul walrusses and hunks of whale around for a few thousand years.

Again, if your points were in any way valid, you'd be able to come up with some examples to support them. You apparently cannot. If you -can- find such an example, please present it for consideration. Otherwise, your arguments remain the uninformed opinion of a person with no professional training or education of any kind in the field under discussion.
