I would save the shooting until absolutely necessary, (you were bitten)... 1 Meatball with some "vitamin tabs" stuffed inside once a week, it would be a much more sensible/safer, from repercussions of the nutball owners, who I suspect would all of a sudden "start to care" about their dogs, if you started to shoot their dogs without at first getting bitten. JMO And yes, I do like dogs, but you have to draw a line somewhere...
