I use pepper spray all the time. You don't even have to hit the dog with it. Put some in the air, they'll get a whiiff, and gladly leave you alone.
Besides, before I ever enter a fenced yard, I whistle and make noise to see what comes running to the gate. I don't just barge in.
I'm not saying he was wrong for shooting a charging dog. It just seems to me that it could've been avoided.
