Each situation is different, but dogs are very sensitive to OC spray and I have stopped a lot of dog attacks with it.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 3:23 pm I was attacked by a Coyote at the deer lease a few years back. The instant that dog didn't run away, I knew it was rabid or very sick in some way. It ran right at me and four shots later was dead at my feet. I know at least two shots connected but it is not easy shooting a dog running at you full steam. I really don't think OC spray would have stopped him.

Re: Postal carrier dies from attack by five dogs.
Sad story about the death. Prayers for the victim and family.
I keep my OC spray in hand whenever there is any question about a dog being hostile. That keeps my reaction time/OODA-loop as short as possible.
If you have to shoot and don't shoot a dog before it makes contact with you, it can be remarkably difficult to get a clean sight picture. Dogs move continuously and quickly. Been there, done that.
What does work during a dog attack is point shooting, but not everybody has those skills.
