I've always been so curious as to what to do when a dog is about to attack... Say you're walking on the streets when a dog comes charging up, but stops... Then the dog stares at you, low to the ground, ready to make his move and attack you. (Yes, this has happened to me before. Thank God the dog was behind a fence.)
So, what are you supposed to do? If you stare him in the eyes, he'll take that as a challenge and attack you. But if you turn and run or even if you just turn your head and stop making eye contact, he'll charge and attack you anyway. So... what do you do? It's like, the second you stop making eye contact, the dog will go after you. That's what happened with the pitbull on the other side of the fence. After I looked away, he jumped on the fence like a maniac barking and snarling like he wanted to kill me, eat me, and use my bones to pick his teeth. I also tried owning him up and stood my ground (but boy was his bark loud!) and showed him I wasn't afraid, but he just kept on.
