Also if you really want to go into it, we also have the advantage of our ability to grip things with our hands, knowledge of basic anatomy (weak spots like eyes, wind pipe, gut) ability to work together much better then a pack of dogs and our use of tools so even in a pit you could pick up a rock or stick.
To others, don't give me anecdotal stories about how you couldn't pull a ball out of your dogs mouth. One, you may not be able to get the ball out but you were probably pulling the dogs whole body and two, I seriously doubt anyone would trying using maximum force in anything while playing with their pet.
Read my posts?
I said repeatedly, in bold letters, that I didn't expect anyone to jump in. I just posed the question "what if" someone did.
Anyways like I said this is getting ridiculous.

First of all, I believe the article said these dogs were 70-90 pounds, making them much bigger than your estimate here.
Secondly, what are you even arguing? You're saying there are all these intellectual reasons on why it would work, but in this instance there wasn't any (or very very little) time to react never mind logically think about a plan, or why one might be able to safely drive the dogs away and override their natural fear response to put that plan into action. Nevermind getting others to help you.
Are you actually disappointed that no one jumped into help, or are you just arguing your point cause you don't want to let go of it?
