WI:Armed Citizen Stops Dog Attack

 Not much detail in the report.  Guns are commonly used to stop animal attacks.  Animal attacks are not included in many surveys of defensive uses of firearms.

The owner says she got home Monday night and put the dog on a tether in the backyard. She says she later heard a commotion in the alley and saw the dog attacking a teenage girl.

(snip)

Apparently a neighbor got a gun and hit the dog in the leg.

The owner says she told the neighbor to shoot.

I like dogs, but not in my apartment on the 9th floor.
