Over my 28 plus years as a police officer, I have been confronted on several occasions by dogs. Without exception, I tried my best to fend off the dog with whatever was present, a trashcan lid or a fence or my coat, whatever. In all those years, I have yet to shoot a dog (and I don’t like dogs).

Just a good loud yell and stamping your feet will scare 99% of the meanest dogs. It’s too bad that most police nowadays never get the opportunity to learn this, because shooting is just so much easier.
