Next time if you use a 357 then you will be saying WHAAAAT and what is that ringing sound. A 9mm is plenty bad enough on the ears but a 357 just plan on losing a good bit of your hearing for could be a long time. I quit carrying 357 because of that and the over penetration.

Use a shotgun with 8 shot 00 buck. If that don't put it down then run like fire lapping at your britches.

A friend shot a dog broadside chest with a 22 rifle and the dog went to howling. I told him take a head shot and put the dog out of its pain. Stupid inhumane action on his part. He shouldn't have shot the dog in the first place.
