When I was in Iraq (2003-2004) we had to guard a bridge which we had placed, and had remained in that location for approximately a month. On the side of the bank I was guarding, there was a pack of wild fucking dogs, which included the father, mother, and four puppies. I like dogs to begin with, but there were also weapons and grenades that the Iraqi military had dropped before fleeing, which were a few hundred yards from the location we were at. Of course, we weren't allowed to go secure those, and had to wait for EOD to take care of it (wtf?). So, having a few sets of canine ears was a nice thing to have at night...just in case someone decided to snoop around.
In any case, we befriended the wild fucking dogs, and had fed them MREs. Despite this, there was one instance in which the male dog started approaching me, while growling, and had started to leap at me. Of course, since I had an M-16 I just filled it full of lead. Oh wait, no, I didn't. What I did was put my M-16 out with both hands as a barrier, just in case it tried to bite, stood my ground, stared it down, and said, "No!!! Bad dog!!!" It eventually backed down and didn't give me anymore problems. I don't think it was going to bite me, but it had advanced on me aggressively all the same. I still didn't feel the need to shoot or harm him, despite the fact that he was a wild fucking dog.
