Doug, I had a situation when I lived in August GA back in 1975, where two very large and mean stray dogs would chase my car as I left my driveway for duty each morning. Not wanting to incur the wrath of my neighbors by shooting them in the middle of my residential street (Not to mention the wrath of the Richmond County Sheriff's Department), I pulled the old car door trick on them.

They were running along side right next to the driver door, barking and snarling at me. I opened the door about 25 miles per hour before reaching the stop sign at the end of the street, and both tried to jump up an bite me... unfortunately for them, just as they jumped, I made a panic stop and both hit the open car door HARD since they were off the ground and didn't have air brakes...

When they hit the ground, I just closed the door and drove off to work. They never chased my van again...


... I ended up shooting them both with a 12 ga pump and 00-Buckshot a few months later, ... but that's another story!
