dogs have very tough skulls, many known cases of them surviving multiple shots

This is one reason I favor the 10mm.

At Erickson's request, no charges were filed against the dog's owner...The dog survived the shot to the top of its head... ...Erickson said he is now concerned because the hole in his neighbor's fence has not been fixed... the dog owner has another pit bull that he (Erickson) worries could get loose and hurt someone... No good deed goes unpunished.

Beautiful gun but too large to carry, concealed.

I have talked to people from Utah who carry their guns while running... they use the gun to kill rattlesnakes.
The weight of the gun also adds to the workout value.

So, where should I aim, if faced with an attacking Pit Bull dog?

Yes, but it's the
owner, not the breed. In theory, if the owner had had a bassett hound this was just as likely to happen. NO DOGGY PROFILING! /s
I am against breed banning absolutely, hands-down, it would be stupid and short-sighted. But the first step toward a solution is defining the problem honestly -- and the truth is that this is a breed mixed/breed problem. A bad owner with a wimpy dog = minor problem for innocent people. A bad owner with a lethal dog = major problem for innocent people.

About 8 years ago a neighbors neglected/abused Rotweiller came into my yard and attacked my Springer Spaniel while it was sitting between 2 little girls, 7 and 8 years old.
That dog never left my yard.
2 rounds of 6.5x55 worked just fine.

Let's also be against species banning.
I'm sure some lions and tigers make nice pets and neighbors, too.
Let's not profile all lions and tigers because some have abusive owners.

The dog survived the shot to the top of its head. Erickson said the owner initially planned to euthanize the dog because its veterinary bills were expected to be as high as $4,000. But the owner had a change of heart and decided not to put the dog down, he said.I have to wonder if the owner is insane. A sane owner would have finished off the dog.

So, where should I aim, if faced with an attacking Pit Bull dog?I vote for the eye, angled toward the center. If it is still moving, shoot it in the other eye.

"So, where should I aim, if faced with an attacking Pit Bull dog?" Avoid shooting an attacking animal in the head. It damages the brain, which might be needed later for a rabies test. Aim downward between the shoulders. Even if the shot does not disconnect the central nervous system (spinal cord) or penetrate to other vital organs, it probably will disrupt the animal's mobility.
I had occasion to do so to a large, rabid, attacking raccoon: his front legs spread out to the side, he went down, and never moved again...
