My father has a neighbor who used to have three dogs that'd do something like this... Actually had my gun out and pointed at one once when it got out under the fence and surprised me once when visiting. Stopped and backed of as soon as I noticed the movement out of the corner of my eye and swung around to face him, already drawing. Was still fifteen feet away - had he not reversed motion...
A quick phone call and neighbor recaptured and reconfined him. He had to get rid of all three of them a little later - mauled one of his kids... :barf:

As much as I detest it and try to get rid of it, there is not one ounce of fat on my body that doesn't overvalue every inch of every dog in the universe and I'll shoot to defend said fat everytime, even if the odds are three to one. (greater numbers just mean I feel threatened at a greater distance.)
