Nor was mine, As you can see, I tried everything I could to distract it from charging out from beneath the vehicle and attacking my feet while I tried to secure the boat.
It was somewhat unsteady, but relentless. I even managed to use my boot to flip it on its back a couple of times when it got close. Every time, it got back up and charged directly for my feet again.
But when it didn't even blink when I splattered its face with sand & gravel with the .22, I knew I had no choice. I couldn't drive with the boat unsecured, so I put it down with a single shot. It apparently never knew what hit it, I hope so, at least...
Triumph -- no. Relief -- yes.
It was suffering horribly.
You were very humane.
I know of no greater compliment than that.
