It would never be considered "self defense", as self-defense applies only to you. The closest you could come is "defense of others", which doesn't apply to dogs (although that wouldn't stop me if anyone EVER threatened my dogs and I had a gun handy). However, even Defense of Others isn't a valid court defense in all states.
In states that have property laws (I think Texas may be the only one, but I'm not sure), you may shoot if someone is threatening your property, but this may also be only applicable if he is actually ON your property.

i become getting waiting a good answer yet, Fachento, you suggested about each and everything i might want to assert. the in basic terms factor I disagree with is skill move. I used to imagine that become more suitable important till I did some shooting analyze, and it sounds as if that penetration and wound is more suitable important than skill move contained in the classical sense (one hundred% bullet stoppage contained in the objective). To me, the perfect all round round is the 10mm. human beings will tout the .357 Magnum, and that i will agree that is rather strong, and that is record places it on top. although i might want to argue the in basic terms reason the 10mm isn't rated higher is a lack of info. i trust the FBI rankings more suitable or a lot less say that because the little 10mm information they have has the round performing ok. in spite of this, i'm completely prepared to assert that once you get into the .40 5, 10mm, and .357 Magnum section, shot placement is fairly more suitable important than any modifications in those rounds. i will end with this. in conserving with the information that i have considered, any round that isn't reliably go via someone likely isn't a good self-protection round. human beings can thumbs down me all they opt for, yet i urge them to study up on some wound and gunfight analyze to verify what extremely incapacitates human beings. once back, regardless of the truth that, properly suggested Fachento.

Shoot someone who has a gun on another person and it is called defense of others.
Shoot someone who has a gun on a dog and it is called murder.

You are not a police officer and your dog is not a person, I wouldn't recommend it.

Not unless the dog was in your arms or otherwise between you and the gun.

pointing a gun at your dog? no. that would be felonious assault, or attempted murder by YOU (you are the criminal).
you do not have the right to defend a dog in the same way as you defend another human being.

Your comparing the self defense laws to animals. In no way does it compare. You would be charged with attempted murder.

No. SELF defense. i.e. defence of yourself.
What you described is dog defense. You'd be facing a pretty legnthy prison sentence.
