I have NEVER seen or heard of that with a dog and a grown person (two dogs, yes). However, if the dog thinks you're attacking it (lunging, charging, or even going in its general direction) and not just satisfied with your established dominance (you're supposed to stand your ground until the dog averts its eyes then you can do the same), the dog's defense mechanism might kick in.
