The dog was so damned close. Ethan could practically feel it's hot breath. Not once, but twice the creature nearly managed to snag the leg of his uniform, and it was getting too uncomfortable for him. He made a loud whistle and took a huge leap, throwing himself a good forty feet away from the dog, surprising them both. "Hey Mutt! FETCH!" He shouted, and shot his gun again, hoping the weak spot was the head.
