No offence but 9mm not being enough for dogs is a bunch of bunk. You missed the vitals, plain and simple. Just like with any critter you have to hit the what counts. I've seen 12 ga. gut shot deer run for miles.

As I said, The main mistake was the accuracy of either you, the gun or both. There's a big reason very few hunters use a handgun. Almost none use a semi (except .22LR's). You have to be dang good and so does the gun. Next time, use a shotgun with 4 buck.

It's also a myth that critters die on the spot. A heart or lung shot deer can and will run many times (not all). It may run 10 yards, it may run 200. This includes deer shot with shotguns and rifles such as 7mm Mag.
