I think the advantage of a shot gun is that shot is being used. A slug is no different that a project from a side arm or rifle, Albiet larger.
When I was in a agency we used #5 shot, what was considered best all-a-round load (a compromise). Using shot allows for a greater area of coverage compare to a single shot projectile. Sort of like a gernade, close is close enough. At really close range the other advantage of the shot gun is the blast.
Personally, I think the greatest danger in shooting a dog is the way the "liberal" media would headline the event. "police shoot 10year old girl's puppy" (even though it is a 150# rotti)
