lol i get the sense that you didnt like the dog that much 
he tore my fav pair of jeans
i ws playing fetch with him and herc and then playing "keep away" (the stick)..making them jump for it...and the bastard just up and bit me...thankfully he just got my jeans...
and yes...i punched him in the mouth...HARD....he yelped and ran behind a tree...i followed him and screamed at him and got him once in the hind quarters with a stick...
he never actually tried to bite me after that...he'd bare his teeth etc etc...but still man...
NOONE liked that dog...except my girl and her sister in law...they thought he ws cute
...max a million my ass ...
however..having said that....he'd go out with my girl when she started her car...4:30 am in the morning...and i didn't feel compelled to accompany her...i knew max would take care of her...that fucker would die protecting her..
....i sorta miss him...
