Trouble is the demise of the humble bicycle pump and the rise of the CO2 cartridge. Now think of Roy Scheider killing the shark in the closing moments of Jaws.Richard's bicycle book issue 1:

I have a special very loud very sharp "HEY!!" that I save for these occasions, I used it just the other day and the poor dog dropped to the ground mid leap.
There is some odd advice out there, I guy who used to live across the road was in the French Foreign Legion and he told me that as part of their training they were told that if you grab and yank a dogs nose it will not continue the attack. When I said "But you know where a dogs nose is situated do you?" he went kind of sheepish as he had never considered that offering a hand to a charging dog may not be a good idea.

Aren't you meant to shove your arm in its mouth, grab its tail and turn it inside out?

Only in Tom and Jerry cartoons
You never saw, or read, the scene in Trainspotting then? They pass the baseball bat through the pit bull's collar and rotate it until the beast deservedly dies.
And only then if you've mislaid your frying pan.

Many moons ago my Dad was troubled by a dog on his daily ride home until be bent his bluemels over its head.
On another occasion he had a dog which regularly shot out behind him and closely followed him for a short while , yapping.
Until Dad went past on a Tandem and the thick mutt ran straight into the back wheel.

I was once hastled by a frantic barking hound as I wound up a hill. I quickly deployed my Bluemels type pump and waved it in its general direction. To my surprise it yelped and ran off, despite not even getting close to it with the pump. On examination of the pump I realized that the end had come out at the first flick and struck the beast at speed, square on the nose. Of course I had to turn around and go back down the hill to get the bit I'd fired out.
