I find I get chased by dogs most days (only when I'm on a bike though!)
Yesterday I got fed up with this particularly irritating one that was trying to bite me, so I stopped the bike and really roared at it (funnily enough, I have quite a loud shouting voice, even though I'm such a meek and mild person). After a few seconds of this, the dog decided to make a circle round me and then ran for it, with me roaring after it. Hopefully after that experience it'll be less inclined to chase bikes in future. I find this usually works, but I must admit I haven't been attacked by a dangerous breed, and I don't know what the best policy is then.
What do you guys do?
