cops killing a pit bull that was attacking another dog.
It withstood nearly 20 shots of .38 before it died, close shots , head heart and lungs. ....it never let go.
A Pitbull in Knoxville withstood a .38 special to the head and in the news footage it was just standing there grinning as blood oozed from the bullethole just above its left eye.
Pitbulls have an unnatural ability to ignore pain and eminent death while pressing an attack. The Pitbull and the Mastiff are descendents of the Alaut Warhounds of the Ancient Scythians.
The kings of france gave trained Alauts to favored nobles as bodyguards, they sometimes fought wearing full armor and would stand on their hind legs and could crush the helmet and head of an armoured knight.
The most deadly wolf of record is said to have been half Alaut. Its name was Cortaud, meaning Short Tail.
When captured it was tried as a Werewolf, because its unusually high forehead gave it the look of intelligence and it led a huge pack on daring raids into Paris itself by finding its way through the sewers into the crypts below a cathedral.
Werewolves are also said to have shorter tails than real wolves, perhaps due to Cortauds reign of terror.
Of course how much is true and how much legend is hard to say.
BTW
Cortaud was supposedly captured by a professional hunter who used both Eagles and an Egyptian Cheetah . The Eagles harried him till he was exhausted and the highly trained Cheetah then clamped on his windpipe and choked him unconsious.
