Man bites dog

The South End News fills in the details of that Nov. 13 incident involving a berserk pit bull that Boston Police had to shoot after it attacked a couple of men and a dog - one of the men tried to stop the beast from continuing to chomp on his roommate:
... "I got her mouth open which is pretty unbelievable because their jaws lock," Prignano said. "I got my mouth and I was biting her."

They don't lock
The whole "locking jaw" thing is a total urban legend like "jenkem" and so forth. Totally not true.
Tenacious? Yes. Occasionally bad-tempered? Yes.
But mystically endowed with some kind of locking mechanism on the mandibles? not true.
