As for offering your arm up, there's no guarantee a dog will take that bait. Police dogs, for isntance, are trained not to. Police dogs actually are taught more to fight than just attack. If you for instance start punching them with one hand, they will release their grip on whatever they have and attack the hand you are trying to hit them with.
Further more, a large domestic dog can have some 320+ pounds of biting force. That's enough to crush most people's fore arms.

the lie down and die....it will save the world from your cynicism
notice i said as you are going to the ground?
you need to be prepared for it...and make it happen...as you go down you knee goes into their gut, preferably upper rib cage...you land on top of the dog and it should be ok.
im not claiming this is easy...but seems better then your advice so far..i mean arent you some kind of ninja...you and dig420 are superstar fighters, you claim it a million times a day on the board...but you have no advice for how to stop an attacking dog?
