I can't believe I have missed all the action in this thread.
Here's my two cents:
For the past six months myself and a couple of the guys I work with have had to shoot stray dogs on at least a weekly basis. We are probably sitting at approximately 100 for the trip.
They die relatively easy when you hit them in a good spot. Brain (not just head), Spine, Heart. If not they can limp off. If they are in a fight they will continue the fight until they are physically unable to do so.
I have also seen military bite dogs drag people out of buildings who had no intention of coming out. They were too damaged by the pain/fear of having a dog ripping their arms to shreds to be able to do anything except move in the direction the dog was pulling...it had complete control.
I have been in a bite suit and told to fight the dog...it ended up knocking me down and getting my back/neck area.
Dogs move VERY fast when they are pissed off and are very violent in their motions. I doubt you will be able to get behind one in any circumstances....it is easier for the dog to pivot than for you to run in circles.
Even training to kill dogs doesn't go well. At one point we were given bite-sleeves and a rubber knife and told to follow our training. The dogs were so violent it was near impossible to get at them and even if successful we would have sustained an incredible amount of damage. We were trained in how to deal with dogs and armed, but it was still a ridiculous sight to see.
