I know of one experience that happened to a friend of mine. He was walking on a rural road when a pit bull came out of the brush several yards in front of him. There was no mistaking the dog's intention, he started coming toward my friend. My buddy had his glock .45 out quickly and shot the dog once. The bullet went in the dog's chest at an angle and knocked the dog down. The dog got back up and came at him again. The second shot stopped and killed the dog. Even the venerable .45 won't always be a one shot stopper. Besides, dogs don't know that they are supposed to die when shot.
