IANAL, but...
There are some factors at play or more but I think this is gonna be a tough one for you.
From the diagram you posted, the shooter could possibly claim his life was being threatened if the dog was rushing towards him. This map could work against you in court but I suppose the truth is what matters so you should simply state the facts and then maybe you will feel better about this a little, although I know it must be very hard for you to do so. Losing a dog is like losing a family member.
The thing is though this guy was armed at night and possibly laying in wait. That's something you should explore. Why was he there? Is that legal in your state for someone to "guard" a field with a firearm and attempt to use deadly force?
3-4 shots could be considered excessive, unless he missed a few times and the dog was still rushing towards him before getting hit. The fact your dog made it back indicates some of those shots were misses.
What were his motives being armed? It seems as though there aren't any structures where he was so then you have to assume he was waiting for someone or some animal to cross into his field.
At the end of the day, every pet owner must keep their pet leashed at all times when not in a pet-proof fenced area or in their home. You're responsible to keep your pet safe. Don't let your other dog off leash unless you have constructed a safe run area on your property so go buy some thick coup wire and construct something he can't dig under. Dig the fence deep into the earth and put a several feet depth of pea gravel all around the perimeter so he can't get loose easily and use cement pilings for the fence.
Protect your family by keeping them on your property WHILE you see if you can get some justice for your dog... but you might end up wasting a lot of money going after this guy if the case is thin.
