I can't imagine punching a dog. I've let dogs bite me and just hold on and never thought about punching them. I kinda just try and get them focused on my forearm and then unclench their jaws. I doubt I could do that with a pit bull being serious, but so far it's all just been play and they'll just stare at me like "wut"
Pronoun concerns, level zero. good person vibes? level 100 just got docked one because you complained about pronouns. You're at 99, you can earn that level back, just go help somebody with some silly task.

(Btw, my pronouns are they/she, just for future reference)
