So this happened to me for the first time today.

I was leaving the city and it was turning into rural properties; the dog was sitting in it's yard and took off after me. I didn't sprint as soon as I saw the dog because I know they're curious and most do not want to attack. When the dog started showing teeth I started to freak out veering into the middle of the road nearly getting hit by a car doing (presumably) 45.

What does /n/ do in this situation?
