No man, really. I mean it can happen, yes. Sometimes people get a series of good shots in the right place of a dog's skull. Sometimes the dog can't drag you to the ground. So I'm not saying it's impossible. It's just very unlikely.

Dogs just move too fast and if they are able to drag you to the ground, you're pretty much done for. All you can do is cover up and pray at that point.

I have a friend who trains police dogs in Texas, his family has for many years. They train both German and Belgium Sheperrds. A Belgium Shepherd is like a German Shepherd, but smaller. They're around 70-80 pounds. I've "fought" with them before, and let me tell you, I would want no part of any of those dogs. 150 pound Rottweiler? Forget about it. That's run and fucking hide terrority.

Now of course if you get attacked and there's no where to go, fight back. Stay on your feet, protect your throat at all costs. Try shots for the throat, eyes, tip of the nose and hope. It's just the odds are very much against you.
