I was chased by a doberman on my bmx bike when I was a kid. I almost got away, until I felt him bite me on the ass. We had to verify that his rabies shots were up to date.

I am more concerned about dogs on my gravel rides for two reasons. Homes on gravel roads are probably less likely to keep their dogs secured due to much less nearby traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, and I'm also much less likely to be able to outsprint a fast dog riding on gravel.
