It was close and may have happened if the dog had not just stood there barking and the owner was essentially right behind it around the corner. Had there been a larger gap between the owner and the dog well, who knows. The owner was pretty well freaked out over this.I would have had a problem not shooting it straight away.
I'm always a little bit bitter at the housewife putting out her garbage early one morning near my house who came face-to-face with a mountain lion. I've spent over 30 years hunting/camping/hiking/climbing in some of the most remote, isolated places in the PNW and have yet to see one--sometimes even trying to find one. Makes me think the next time I go out in the woods I should wear a robe and some houseshoes...
Speaking of untrained or aggressive dogs. I run a lot and run into dogs who will occasionally give chase or act aggressive. I haven't been bit but a best buddy of mine used to run a lot up by Granite Falls and he had a dog take a good bite out of his side while he was exercising. Never hurts to be prepared, even if it's a folding knife it might save you a world of hurt.
