I've seen dogs go absolutely nuts over the dot... same with cats. IMHO, there is a time and place to use all the things that you can normally find on a defensive weapon. You'd just have to know when they'd be useful.

For instance, an IR laser used in conjunction with NVG's has an application... and looks different on YouTube when the .mil guys were using them. Not a normal civilian use (or possibly legal for us to use either). Flash lights, lasers, night sights, heavy lap dog (that chases the dot), whatever, they all have their uses.
