Haha! That would be awesome but no, I mean as in Smith and Wesson M&P. I don't know if anyone one would take me seriously running around with a Captain America shield but I bet they'd steer clear anyways!

The reason for the bite stick was that they were very dense ie, heavy and unobtrusive. Yes, you could use a regular stick but if the dog was intent n attacking if you offered the dense metal stick the dog would often not like the feel and stop, wood gives. Ablso if the dog could not be dissuaded from attack the stick was heavy enough to use as a weapon that would generally end any further attack quickly. My best protection was my voice honestly,

Sorry missed the other half of your question, the aggressive dogs we encounteredwerent protection trained, if they were they probaly would have owners who cared enough to confine them. We were encountering dogs who were owned by idiots (excuse the language)who used them as surrogate testicles.

A tennis racket is a useful deterrent.
I like a one or one and a half inch in diameter walking stick. I affix a pipe termination to one end for a bit of metal, and it protects the ground end from excessive wear. Lots of walking sticks growing all over the place. A sharp knife, some time and patience, a little tranquility, and voila, a walking stick.
Such a stick can cue a dog to keep its distance, and a jab is a very effective correction.
