A very sad situation. I've been on both sides of the equation. I would have been heartbroken if my dog was shot and killed, and it would also be a very hard thing to shoot a neighbors dog, both emotionally and for the future of the neighborhood relations... difficult to repair that and having upset neighbors means you may as well move from the area. You may be a payback.

Logistically, dog fights are lighting fast. I don't know how you would effectively and safely shoot just one of the dogs. You'd have to somehow isolate it and be careful of the backdrop... it would be dangerous and tough.

I agree with the idea of pepperspray and have a Foxlabs sprayer that I will carry on dogwalks.
