I've found that a quick squirt from your water bottle to the face of a charging dog will usually allow you enough of a window to crank it up and get away. It's worked in every one of my cases, although if a dog is determined enough to actually attack, water may not be enough of a deterrent.
In those cases, I recommend a big freaking stick. Or a taser.
