O'Neill, in an interview with the Boulder Daily Camera, believes he only survived an unprovoked assault from a pit bull named Rocco because he's carried a knife with him since his own dog died after tangling with a mountain lion. But even though he stabbed Rocco numerous times, he says the dog didn't release him until wrestled off by his owner; the dog reportedly didn't respond to voice commands.
Look below to see a Daily Camera video of O'Neill sharing his experiences:
