I think it's a cool idea but knowing the world we live in if it was ever put into practice you could bet that the attacker would probably succeed in having the dog put down afterwards.

Its in America though, they lean a bit more towards the victim rather than an attacker over there.

I'd be more concerned about a 5 year old girl being able to control a big dog like that. I guess its really well trained but it wouldnt take much for the dog to drag the girl for miles.
