In all sincerity, is “flight” the best scenario in this? I’m not a canine expert. Good to know for future reference...

Flight is only good if you can get a lead on the dogs!
I went out for a ride on Tuesday and as I was peddling uphill a large mixed breed Rott/Pit that was laying on a lawn decided he would get in the road and stand his ground.
I stopped and tried to settle him down as he was visibly upset with hair standing up and showing teeth as he paced back and forth. I stood my ground for a couple of minutes as he barked and growled. He then began to lunge at me! I was not about to get bit and had assumed at some point the owner would hear him aggressively barking at me and call him back, but that did not happen.
I waited for him to pace a little further away and I took off in the opposite direction back down hill! He didn’t give much of a chase.
On flat ground or if I had already had a good pace going I would have likely been able to outrun him. Adrenaline usually kicks in when there is a chase!
I have been chased by more than a few dogs around where I live, but if they get the drop on me then resistance futile!
