Stay low and send the dog out.
The dog usually sleeps in the hallway at night, sometimes in my office. Both locations could be in my line of fire from the bedroom, depending on circumstances.
We usually sleep with the BR door closed, as does my daughter, whose BR is next to my office at the opposite end of the hallway from our BR.
Those issues are what caused me to delay several months making this decision, worrying they could be in my LoF. (I’m assuming in the heat of the moment I might not hit center of mass, and some pellets could travel down the hallway.)
