What are yalls thoughts on this scenario?

A Realtor (who is given permission to enter the property to show it) is then attacked by a pitbull on the property.

My friend is 6'2...no small cookie and it KNOCKED him to the ground biting him in the upper leg and arm.

To me this would justify shooting animal. Thoughts?

*UPDATE*

Our Company contacted the listing broker and they were totally unaware of the animal being on the property.

I cant believe how irresponsible some people can be to leave the tiny detail out "there is a dog on property"...not just any dog...pitpull haha...

My buddy just got off the phone with the home owner and found out that THE DOG IS BEHIND ON RABIES SHOTS!!!!!

I smell a law suit in the making...

I am a Realtor in Austin, Tx and carry daily. My fellow Realtor (non chl) was showing a house yesterday and as soon as he open the door a pit bull came charging around the corner and sunk its teeth right in my friends leg. I was not there but the struggle went on for a few seconds and my friend (who is a pretty big guy) was able to get the dog off before it could do more damage.

He came back to the office to drop off his client and his pants were ripped up and you could see the teeth gashes in his leg.

I talked briefly with him about CHL. Telling him that he was very lucky and it could have been a lot worse. In a career like Real Estate there are just too many occasions where one is going into a strangers house and has no idea what is behind the door. I think he might be taking his classes very soon...

Thank God the client and my friend ended up OK . The client was just a small girl in college. She could have been seriously injured if the dog had attacked her first...
