Most of the dog injuries I have heard about or seen near or in the Villages have been because of dogs fighting dogs or dogs getting hit by golf carts or cars/trucks. My dog did have a face off with an opossum in our back yard but fortunately I picked him up before anything could happen. Possums are supposedly quite aggressive especially when a mother opossum is protecting her cubs as was what was happening in my dog's case. The cubs were no where close. The mother was distracting my dog so that the cubs could get away.
