I've had players searching a home run into a dog (typically some relatively benign breed like a poodle or corgi) eating its now-deceased former owner - and that pup is now none-too-pleased to be interrupted at mealtime. The dichotomy of a small dog suddenly launching itself with extreme violence at a PC, resulting in the need to shoot poor little Muffy...

Somebody that the PCs are either trying to avoid or surprise is going to hear the gunshot.
Reminds me a bit of the Rabbit of Caerbannog scene in Monty Python & the Holy Grail.

Agree with your point. A single, small critter with rabies still poses a deadly threat to PCs.

They are definitely ugly-cute, IMHO. And you really can smell a pack coming if you're downwind of them.
