Present: BENTON, COLEMAN and DUFF, JJ.

BENTON, Judge.

Dwayne Alan Long presents for review five questions, which, succinctly stated, raise the issues (1) whether Long's dog was a "means" as used in the malicious wounding statute,1 (2) whether the Commonwealth proved all the elements necessary to support the malicious wounding conviction, and (3) whether the evidence established that Long acted in self defense. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the conviction.
