That would have resolved the 'vicious trespassing dog' problem....
Mrs Marshall said Watts had come to the front door during the attack on the cat, shouting at the dog to drop it and trying, unsuccessfully, to attract its attention.Come to think of it, it would quite handily resolve the 'thick as mince chav owner' problem as well.

Love it.
Hate to point it out but when a Staffie attacks you can hit it on the head with a lump hammer and you're not going to stop it.
And if you think that they can only attack at ground level they can jump vertically six feet from a standing start.
If 50 pounds of staffie headbuts you at speed he can break your leg without causing himself any damage.
If you give him a bone or a large hide chew, its not going to take him long to get through it.
If he's lying down and wants to attack he can incapacitate you before you've had time to react.
They can be lovely little dogs but you have to keep them under control and let them know who's boss.
"...trying, unsuccessfully, to attract its attention..."
Most of these types have as much control over these animals as they do their kids...

People have taken on grizzly bears and wolves to save their pets or children - I think you'd be surprised!
The dog may be full of adrenaline, but so must the homeowner...
I threw out my tyre iron years back- modern tyres, with reinforced walls, combined with softer alloy wheels, added to the ever-present suspicion of jumped-up PCSOs who think it must be a weapon, and my own ham-fistedness mean it's too much aggravation, even compared to the cost of tyre fitters.
