When I was growing up, our farm was the first one up a hill toward town from a creek bottom that evidently people thought was far enough from town to dump unwanted dogs. The strays would wander up to our place, and we would try them out. One or two over the years stuck around, but mostly we were left with the dubious duty of putting them where they belonged.
Dad and I were on that sad task one day. I drove the little Ford, and he had his 22. Got the dog to follow us about 1/4 mile from the house and stopped. Dog seemed to suspect something was up when Dad drew a bead on him. Pulled the trigger and just grazed his head. Dog gave a yelp and, of course, lit out for the house- bleeding.
