To be fair, if a dog is about to attack and you've got nowhere to quickly escape to (should be your first option) then you do actually stand a better chance by being assertive than by trying to run (they will outrun you).

Although it's not likely to work if there's more than one dog. They're pack animals so they'll back down much more easily if they're on their own than if they have backup.
