My wife and I were out hiking in Pike National Forest. A couple with 2 dogs had parked their Jeep off the side of the trail near a nice stream. The dogs were just roaming around.

One of the dogs (black lab) spotted us and came toward us very aggressively. I put my hand on my Glock and loudly instructed the dog to go away.

The dog owners paid zero attention to the dog, or us, or any of the commotion.

It turned into a non-issue. My wife gave me a bunch of crap about it at the time, and still brings it up.

I'd have had zero remorse about shooting the dog though.
