My older dog was walking in a circle after she badly reacted to a rabies shot. She has about 95% recovered from it.
Anyone had to quick draw on an animal?

Mine wasn't that dramatic. Or necessary. Out in the sticks, either on a security check or responding to a call, can't remember. Alone with nothing but darkness around I hear a sound swivel and draw and my flashlight lights up the horse that wonders WTH I'm doing in his area and if I had any treats.
Have a small poultry farm. A little less than 200 animals including chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits. So 4 legged critters are not uncommon and some ive had to fast draw on. Raccoons, possums, fox, coyote, bobcat, woodchuck, squirrels. Seen bear tracks, thankfully not the bear that went with them.
Some i put down, others i just wanted to scare off. Others became lunch. But all the same if you ever wonder how long it would take you to react and shoot on target from cc? This is about the safest way to find out and in my case multiple distances and moving targets. Oh, don't shoot a rabbit with a 45 and go through the head and the rest of the body, it ruined lunch. Bacon wrapped groundhog is awesome.

Back in 2002 I was up in Cache County fishing the Little Bear river. I was walking the bank and stepped over a log right on a rattle snake. It started to coil and I jumped back, dropped my pole,tackle box & Foster's. Drew my 29 and fired hitting mid body ,second shot was about 5-6" back from head and 3rd hit right behind head. I then realized it had a Voal in it's mouth. I stepped on him having lunch. I then noticed my Foster's landed upright. I picked up my pole ,hooked the throughly blown up snake and my beer . My friends wife snapped a pic.

Yea. Rabbits and quail.
About 80 lbs ago I was a cyclist. I would ride in 50 and 100 mile rides and used to carry pepper spray until I had to use it on a rampant pit bull once and it blew back into my face.
Started carrying a little NAA .22 mag in my cycling shirt pocket. I discharge it on two occasions both of which scared the dog off. Its a scary ordeal having a dog chase you when your shoes are locked into the pedals.

Funny, but I'm sure it wasn't when he turned on you. Those things or not a joking matter. I had a very close call with one once when picking up a jug line.
Your description of being in the air when you pulled the trigger reminded me of an incident my dad was involved in. Not a handgun story but shotgun. My dad, an uncle and I were quail hunting on my grandparents' farm. We were walking a fence line and suddenly my dad I swear jumped three feet in the air, hollered like a banshee and shot at the ground. The reason being a very large serpent with a missing head. It turned out to be a large king snake, but my dad had almost stepped on it and didn't take the time to do a due diligence identification. Like you, I swear I think my dad was in the air when he pulled the trigger.
