The authorities can do something only if the dog is loose when they 
arrive, assuming you have a leash law.  They do not take anyone's 
word that the dog was loose yada yada yada.  Seeing is believing.

I had an advertising supplement route that involved hanging these 
bagged papers on doorknobs.  I had two encounters with the same mean 
dog and researched my options.  Our city/parish has a leash law.  I 
had a local police officer tell me that loose animals were fair game, 
but mace/pepper spray is a better option.  If you purchase some, 
practice with it.  I can tell you from experience trying to shoot it 
upwind is not a good idea.

I have a concealed carry permit, but such drastic action would be the 
absolutely last resort.
