Run

When a dog runs at you, whistle for him.

~ Hendry David Thoreau

When I used to work at the newspaper, I remember one time having a face-off with a dog. I distracted him by throwing the newspaper and then I ran and got into the car.

The interaction with the dog was not nearly as terrifying as the time two giant geese chased me. I barely made it out alive. And maybe they weren't geese. They could easily have been ostriches or pterodactyls.
