Maybe you have different dogs in America, perhaps werewolves. It must be something like that because it seems like a crazy thing to do. I wonder where all this fear of and aggression toward dogs comes from.
I've been around dogs my whole life, and not just my own, and I've never had a threatening encounter with one. The only dogs I've ever seen that were a bit aggressive were small enough to be flicked away with one shoe, if they ever decided to do more than make an irritating small dog bark.
A guy was killed while out jogging in Michigan a couple of weeks ago by two loose dogs. That's where it comes from.
