Keep in mind that muscles which open an animals mouth are quite weak
compared to those that close it. It is easy to snap a dog's mouth
shut by striking it with an upward blow on the chin. With luck, the
dog will bite its own tongue. It is not hard to grasp a dog by the
muzzle and hold his mouth shut--until he starts shaking his head.
But that can buy you a moment or two to gouge his eyes or kick him
in the throat or the underbelly below the ribcage.



I hafta ask. How do you kick it in the throat while holding its mouth shut?

Lift it up by the snout. Then let go and kick. Sort of like punting.
