I'd like to have seen the dog owner's face when Fido caught some lead.
I know the dog was just doing what he was trained to do, and in this case he's a victim. That's a shame.

Did your friend have to talk to the police afterwards?

Not sure on that. He's a paramedic and while he was on a call he asked an officer (between the first attack and the second) if he would be justified in shooting the dog, and the officer said not only would he be legal, but he would issue a citation to the owner!! I will ask next time we talk and post an answer...

My best friend has a landscaping business and one particular customer has a doberman behind a puny 4 or 5 foot fence. The owner never keeps the dog chained or locked up and when my friend mows the adjacent lawn, the dog tries to leap the fence (and he is usually succesful) and come after my buddy. One day the dog got out and made a full charge at my friend. He's CHL and had his glock 22 with an IWB holster. The dog went for his leg and got my buddy by the boot. He said that before he could draw on the dog (who was, by the way snarling and had its ears flat) the owner called it back. He told that owner that if that happened again he would, and I quote, "Take care of it for you, and you won't see that dog again." Of course the owner got all upset. About 4 weeks later the dog came at him again, full speed and snarling. The owner, watching, was laughing. RIP Rover... RIP.
