I have a metal frame pump. It's a bit heavier than the fancy plastic ones,
but dogs know I'm serious when I reach for it.

I try to either outrun dogs (easy unless I am going uphill) or intimidate
them (yell and wave things). This almost always works. I've only had to use
the pump once in 15 years of cycling.

Before you give a dog that is chasing you the benefit of the doubt, remember
that cyclists (even full grown ones) have been killed by dogs.
