I was turkey hunting on a buddies property when I was confronted with a pitbull at point blank range. the dog was anything but friendly, and I did what I could (mind you I didn't need to be nice because I was holding a loaded mossberg) to calm it down. it charged me, I shouldered the gun and the dog finally went away. I am glad nothing happened. I consider this to 'be in danger'. that little mutt was solid muscle, and didn't last another six months as it attacked a neighbor and he shot and killed it.
