So long as your defence is full on attack, with no quarter given, there are few enough domestic dog breeds as a single animal that would take down a determined adult man(or indeed woman). Beardogs and the like, yea. An Irish wolfhound with the blood up and you'd be in serious trouble, but luckily they're all big softies. Which is a Very Good Thing*. I'm no strongman by any measure, but few dog breeds would worry me if it was an actual fight to the end. Well... no, I'd be shítting myself, but a lot less than if I was up against another human. It would be similar to a knife fight though, you'll have to accept you're gonna get injured. Where you would be screwed is if you try running away, that's when the dog has the upper hand/paw. Never run from a dog that has gone to def con one. It triggers prey instinct and aggression. Stand your ground and attack. Sensitive areas would be the chest and abdomen and dogs are likely to expose that as they tend to jump and go for the upper body arms and throat area. Wild dogs and wolves tend to go for the hamstrings and legs aiming to cause massive trauma and bleed you out. Plus they've got way higher strength and bite force, are practiced and are in a group so in that case you're utterly boned without a weapon. *they're one of the very few Wolfhound breeds bred to take on an adult wolf one on one. Most others are designed to work as a pack.

Not really knowing what to do I put myself in front to protect her and launched a couple of kicks in the chest as hard as I could at the packleader(an alsation cross). He yelped with the pain and the others lost their nerve and fcuked off. I almost felt sorry for him I kicked him so hard but it was looking like they wanted to tear us asunder.

TBH I'd much rather bump into a pack of wolves than a group of domestic dogs gone feral. With wolves, unless you're being a real dickhead they'll leave you well alone, as they're naturally cautious of people and 9 times outa 10 would bugger off and look for easier pickings, but feral dogs have no such qualms as they have little fear of people. They're often less predictable too. Even in areas where people live cheek by jowl with wolves and wild domestic dogs, they fear the dogs way more.
