ok on dogs, but horses dont attack
they are like trucks, donkeys, and burros
dogs can be soldiers in almost every sense of the word
but horses are trucks
well, horses also serve as walls
in Old US West, they shot their horses, then used them for cover during Indian attacks

I know what you mean about dogs going for the groinage
I was an experienced paperboy when young
I would lean low, offer my wrist and arm for it to chew, when attacked
if a nasty beast, I would lift it with my arm in tow, then kick him in the balls
the ripped arm usually healed in a few weeks

a fellow paperboy did that to a vicious dog and killed it
we was proud

If alone and faced with two or more dogs, the sniper should avoid the situation.

Dogs are easy to kill. Especially breeds like the German Shephard, which have a "wishbone" like breast cage. They instinctually go for the throat, 20 pounds of pressure forcing their front legs outward and their rib cage snaps. Dead dog. Kicking forcefully with both feet upward from a prone position at a leaping dog's chest cage is good enough to kill all but the biggest dogs.

That's why police dogs are trained to go for the legs, or arms, from underneath, and not to jump.
