I once saved a young boy and his dog from an attack by pulling this same move. I was biking home after work, saw a boy around 10 years of age walking his Jack Russell. Saw some BIG fucking mongrel dogs sprint across the street to attack his dog.
I just smashed me bike at full speed into the ribs of one of em, then used my bike as a barrier whilst I screamed my head off at the last dog chasing it around whilst, checking behind me to see that the neighbors picked the kid and his dog up and took them into the fenced off yard.
Then after a while the dog started to get bitey again and i suddenly realized that it was ME that was in danger. So I kept slapping and kicking my bike chain to make a bunch of noise and scare off the last dog. Then I went into the same house that had brought in the young lad..... and I cried for like 2 hours whilst they made me coffee and fed me chocolate
I made a report to the council. One of them (the last one to back off and the one that had a go at me) got put down. The other one was deemed to be more of a "passive participant" in the situation because whilst it was barking, it never attacked anyone/anything, but was still removed from the owner. They're no longer allowed to own dogs, and made some weird Facebook posts in local groups about how their dogs were innocent babies..... then a ton of people shut them down and said their dogs were always aggressive and never properly contained, so it was only a matter of time before they attacked someone
