You'd also be dead, since there's no way a human heart could support a person that weighed 650Kg (that's over 100 stone)!

if a dog bites you and wont let go ie a police dog, stick your thumb up its ass and it will open its mouth (heard on frank skinner show )

failing that, a swift kick to the bollocks should see it off
