Picture a snowy cabin in the woods. Somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, a picturesque front porch with two rocking chairs. A family inside the cabin: two kids, dogs, the whole 9.

You are outside playing with your dogs. Huskies.

You’re having fun with your dog.

As you continue to play, you become more boisterous, intense, rough. You’re having such a good time, that you begin to attract the neighbors’ attention.

They come out and say hi and let their dog out to play with you. You’re having so much fun it attracts a stray dog.

The stray dog bites down on your ankle while your dog bites down on your arm.

It starts to hurt, and with much force you’re able to free your arm.

Your dog and then neighbors’ dog go inside, but this stray dog is not going anywhere.

The stray dog has the firmest grip on your ankle it possibly can before it maxes out your pain threshold.

The dog moves when you move and has no intent on letting go easily.

You eventually look at the dog and notice it looks “off.” Something about the eye placement is off, maybe it’s the breed that’s off.

Picture a Caucasian Shepherd Dog. Black and white. Applying just enough force to keep you on your back.

You’ve got to plan your next move carefully. If you jerk your foot, your ankle may break. The dog still thinks we’re playing, but we don’t know its temperament. We don’t mean the dog harm, our goal is to remove our foot without injury. Move left, the dog moves left. Move right the dog moves right.

The dog will eventually let go, but how can you speed that up? What can you do to remove your foot from the dogs mouth?
