I do think shooting a dog without knowing it's true intentions is a bad thing.

I understand and do not want to shoot someones pet either. However by the time I know the dogs true intentions is that too late to do anything about it. I have been approached many times by a single dog off leash and have never felt threatened, but this was several dogs off leash.
As I said this all happened fast and the dogs didn't bite as the owner said, but they also didn't give ground on me and my son and the lab even mock charged me before the owner got them under control. It was a split second decision to hold my shot and a couple more seconds could have drastically changed the overall outcome.
I still feel the owner should have apologized for the problems his dogs caused in the first place though. I'm sure he is on some other web forum complaining about hunters and their guns.
