I dunno if pepper spray works on dogs or not. It might just make em mad and bite more. I know what you are supposed to do is get behind them, grab their hind legs and rip them apart as hard as you can, breaks the back... but obv kills he dog, so you'd probably only want to do it if it was seriously threatening you.
I think Ive read dogs can hear higher pitch sounds than humans, and you can get like these high pitched whistles that a human couldnt hear but would drive a dig nuts, that might be a good option? As you can use it from range, you'd have to be right up to the ting to pepper spray it in the eyes.
But if i comes to it, the hind legs thing definitely works, and so does if you grab its jaws and rip them apart with main force, but putting your hands round its mouth does have obvious risks.
As for dogs themselves, like any animal, I guess soem can be safe and some can be aggressive, and in some circumstances most dogs can be provoked to attack, and some will attack with no provocation. As they are pack animals, I think it might be the case that attack is the best form of defence, and a show of aggression may intimidate them or make them see you as a more powerful member of the pack... like your brother showed anger and the dogs fled when they attacked.
