You missed the point, OP is not right in the head. His only response is stating he would slit a dogs throat.
Of all the options


If a dog has a tensed body, stiff tail, pulled back ears, flicking tongue or an intense stare, it may bite. If in a situation with an aggressive dog, back away and do not turn and run because the dog's natural instinct is to chase.
Tips for surviving a dog attack

Resist the impulse to scream and run away.
Remain motionless, hands at your sides, and avoid eye contact with the dog.
Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away until it is out of sight.
If the dog does attack, "feed" it your jacket, purse, bicycle or anything you can put between yourself and the dog.
If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your ears and remain motionless. Try not to scream or roll around.

How to protect yourself, others, & your dog from a pit bull attack (2022)
Grab a fire extinguisher

ANIMALS 24-7 has long recommended fire extinguishers as the safest and most humane tools for interrupting a dog attack, based initially on advice from Warren Cox, an animal shelter director from 1952 to 2012, later verified by tallying the data from thousands of dog attack accounts collected in our own files since 1982.

Why a fire extinguisher?

Using a fire extinguisher does not require closely approaching the dog.
A fire extinguisher does not have to be aimed very accurately to have a deterrent effect.
A fire extinguisher does not quickly run out of ammunition.
A fire extinguisher does not produce an erratic ricochet.
And a fire extinguisher is normally non-lethal, even if discharged directly into a lunging dog’s mouth and throat.

If the fire extinguisher is exhausted while the dog attack continues, the empty cylinder can be used as a shield, a bite stick, or even a club, as appropriate.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy

Besides the deterrent effect of the fire extinguisher’s contents, which tend to make animals quickly short of breath without lastingly harming them, most animals, including most dogs, retreat from the snake-like hiss of a discharging fire extinguisher.

Carrying a fire extinguisher while walking, jogging, playing, or working outdoors is awkward, but there should be a fire extinguisher in every kitchen, near every fireplace, in every car, near the driver in any bus, truck, or taxi, and prominently and visibly located in every public building or place of business.
Other spray devices

Among the other popular non-lethal devices used to stop dog attacks, pepper spray and Mace must be relatively accurately directed, and are typically carried in small containers meant for use at close range.

Bear spray, pepper spray and Mace have about a 40% success rate in stopping pit bull attacks.

Pocket sprays such as Mace, pepper spray, ammonia sprayers, and similar devices try to replicate in miniature the fire extinguisher effect, but in truth a spray can of almost anything would work about as well.

Part of what makes fire extinguishers effective is that the foam comes out under pressure and rapidly expands, so that the volume actu

Dogs don’t recognize knives

Merely showing a dog a knife, moreover, means nothing to the dog. Dogs have no experience with knives, and no understanding of what they are. At best a dog may think a knife is a toy, and that the user is about to play “stick.”

This may prevent an attack, but only if one throws the knife over the dog’s head and the dog runs after it. Taking that chance is obviously not recommended.

Cyberspace is, to be sure, full of stories about how people allegedly stabbed pit bulls and other dogs to break off attacks, but close examination shows that in almost every case the dog was attacking someone else, or some other animal. Because the dog was fixated on the original victim, the person with the knife had the luxury of being able to stab from behind, sometimes repeatedly, as the knife struck bones and failed to penetrate deeply on the first effort.
