In my opinion situational awareness would have been a more important tool than any kind of handgun. YMMV
Only if the extra time provided by the awareness allows you to avoid them entirely or to be ready to beat them all up. Otherwise, you still are going to need some help to even the odds.

Being an old white man isn't all its cracked up to be either.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I had a chance to speak with the gentleman who was beaten by three men. He was a veteran of the US Army and spent 20 years in the National Guard. He told me that he was approached by a man who asked him for a cigarette while he was walking his dog at 0600 hrs.
He remembers nothing that happened afterwards. He crawled home on the brink of death.
In my opinion situational awareness would have been a more important tool than any kind of handgun. YMMV whelennut He needs a rougher, tougher, more serious type of dog. I have a dog that's fifty pounds of real deal, and would tear anyone apart who attacked me. My other dog, not so much, but he's young yet. Not even a year old. He may never be the real deal like this one, but he will look enough the part to accomplish nearly the same result.

I'd kill your POS dog in three seconds flat.
Dogs are good as an alarm not much else. Unless they are the real-deal-holyfield-trained attack dog.

Multiple rounds are great, but having the situational awareness to avoid being incapacitated or incapable of firing even a first round is the most critical step.
In addition to a decent pistol, your friend needs a better dog.

Good gravy, that's the oldest trick in the book here.. that or do you have a light, do you have a dollar. Getting you to give up one hand.. or both. Here, they don't even bother with that too much any more unless you spot 'em closing on you first. It's mostly sneaking and hiding Niger(ian) schit, looking to surprise you. Blocking your view using the gas pumps is a big favorite. Welcome to Barry's world.

YMMV whelennut Mistake number two, one being not having a gun, I don't let any stranger approach me, when they started their goon swagger over towards him he should have told them, get back, dont fu-k with me. But, not having a gun, he was fu-ked from the start, glad the old Soldier is gonna make it, he now has learned a hard lesson on how to act, some don't get a repeat.

I'm glad you're not a mugger, then. Besides, no one wants even one solid bite, even if they think they can defeat the dog in combat. PS My dog is awesome!

Anybody who intentionally is going to attack or rob a guy with a bad-azzed looking dog probably is going to deal with the dog first.

The guys looking for an easy target will avoid anyone with a sizable dog.

True, but we're talking about odds again. "I guess I can take my tiny gun, or no gun, out for a walk because I have my big-azzed dog with me and most 'normal' criminals look for an easy target."

The right gun first, a good dog will be another advantage, were I a robber, I wouldn't pick anyone looking me dead in the eye witha damn bulldog or rott at their side.

Especially if the bulldog or rott is looking like she's waiting for the go signal. That's my dog's look, as she stares down gangsta wannabes we occasionally pass on evening walks, many of whom won't deviate one iota from their path to avoid her. It's a pride thing, I think (on the part of the wannabe). She doesn't bark or growl. Not one speck. She's a perfect lady. The leash remains slack, and she remains at my left side (my dogs are trained to walk proper on a leash). It's just a body language of total confidence and readiness (and, in her case, just a little bit of hoping, LOL).

First of all, the risks/rewards based thinking is long gone. They'll commit to action based on a split second notion and go full out when they do. Then you're in for a bull ride.

TRH,
My apology for what I said about your dog this morning.
I was hungover and there was no reason for my being that caustic.
