I sorta took it for granted that it was an unarmed guy. If I have a gun, I would try to shoot the dog, yes.

I would only try to use a knife after having pinned the dog. Rather like wild hog hunting, but the animal has, IMHO, a much better thought process for killing and definitely is more dangerous.
