Yes, however, they're likely to spin and attack your hand. If you're the dog's owner it's obviously still the responsible thing to do - as for one they're less likely to continue attacking than if it's a stranger, and for two... well... it's the owner's responsibility to put themselves at risk to stop their own dog from attacking someone else frankly.

Not least because if the dog properly maims or kills someone the owner will be going away for a bit longer than a few months.

On the plus side if you get attacked and sue... most pet insurance policies come with pretty hefty liability cover, so you might get some $£$. Guilt free too, you're only taking the insurer's cash .
