I dont deny there is a difference. And that difference is why humanity wins, and wild animals lose. Everything is on our side, because all nature exists in the society of our creation and control.
A dog can attack me with his teeth, and even if he was to beat me and kill me (which we already have stated is highly unlikely) he would be hunted down, and my fellow humans would avenge me, catch the dog and leave him locked in a cage, and poisoned until dead.

But we cannot but come back to the central points
This whole thread started with a claim that some breeds of dog can survive a gunshot from a handgun to the top of their head, as they have thick skulls.
I accepted this, but have pointed out that in any case, while dogs may attack children, women, and elderly men in a very cowardly way - they will not attack grown men in their natural state. The only dog that will attack a fully grown man is one who is desperate with starvation, or who has been trained to do so by other men who have perverted the dogs natural instincts (that of a pack predator who will not take on a stronger creature one on one)
The dog is in fact naturally inclined to be subserviant to a stronger member of the pack. If a dog attacked me, and due to my superior weight and strength I was able to throw the dog about and subdue him with heavy blows - the dog would be cowed and become timid. If the dog was in fact insane and continued to attack it would probably be killed.
A dog can only kill me by biting me - one attack method from one angle - which would only be fatal if he ripped my throat out or was able to cause significant wounds that caused me to lose too much blood. If I am actively resisting - the dog will not have that chance.
I can kill a dog in literally a million ways. Almost any object could be a weapon. I understand trickery, tactics, use of weapons.
I am twice the size of the dog, and in terms of sheer brute force twice as strong.
(these video's of dogs pulling 1 tonne of weight are not impressive when the weight is on wheels! I easily can push a car, which ways 3 tonnes - this is also on wheels.)

This isnt about boasting or macho behaviour, just simple common sense. I dont claim I have an special powers. I just am stating that a fully grown man is stronger than a dog. The numbers of people killed in dog attacks is under 100 a year in the US I am sure. Far more dogs are killed by humans, not in dog pounds or puppy mills, but with brute violence.
I could pull that 1 tonne trolley on well lubricated wheels with my cock in fact.
Dogs may be faster than people, but they arent stronger. Amundsen used dogs to pull him to the South Pole and back, but most of the dogs didnt survive. Now, Captain Scott isnt a good example, but now many people have in fact man hauled to the South Pole and back without dying - and with far fewer humans pulling those weights than a dog team.
