Kick the dog
I would do whatever it took to defend my dog and my family. I would never release my dog.
I have had the same thing happen to me on 3 occasions. 1 German Shepard, pit bull and some other big dog...sorry but as they charge I kicked...what am I suppose to do wait until it attacks. If it is charging at me and gets within kicking range then that is what I am going to do...AND...hope that convinces the animal to leave me alone. I feel bad for the dog but the owner should have better control over their animal!
BTW I love dogs but no all dogs love other people or other dogs.
PS: Long time ago I filed a complaint about a pit bull. Owner was fined and came over to my house. He told me that if he ever caught my dog in his yard he would kill it and put the carcass on my front steps for my young daughter to see. I swore at him and he said the next time I see you kid out playing I will swear at her. Nothing ever happened but it is a cautionary tale of how quickly things can go crazy.
