In an extremity, don't hesitate to cut loose with the 16 gauge if the range is close, even with small shot. Some years ago my father used his A. H. Fox 16 gauge double to put down an 80+ pound bulldog that was trying to take his leg off in his own driveway. Almost muzzle-contact distance, but the load of #6 shot did just fine.

Likely saved his life. He was in his 80s at the time and none too steady on his feet. If the dog had got him down it would have mauled him severely
