My best friend took out a 100 +/- pound hound dog in 1984 with a Sharps 45-70. It tore lungs out the far side! However, a good 100 yard shot at 5 or 10 feet lets the doge live about 45 seconds and a wounded dog can do a lot of damage in 45 seconds! He fended the dog off with the rifle barrel.

I was walking in a local park about 4 years ago, I came around a curve in the path when 2 loose dogs saw me and charged the 50 or so yards. I had my J-frame in my hand and was about to squeeze when the Pit Bull recognized me and latterly smiled and stated wagging his tale. The park is posted repeatedly with notices to leash your dogs! The owners were along in 2 or 3 minutes. I talked with the County park police, and they would back me up, but stupid people are the biggest problem with dogs!!!
