I'm talking about using actual strategy and tackling it down or whatever.
When you get faster and more agile than a dog, and have the ability to hold it still while magically making it calm, tell me. You are going to need all of your limbs in order to keep it from moving, but it still has a mouth that is much scarier than yours. The dog will not tire as fast as you, and if it is really going after you, it will not quit just because you hold it for a while.
