I think the last thing you'd be able to do to an attacking dog is pick it up over your head. We're talking about an aggressive animal with the musculature to run 40 mph and the flexibility to lick its own ass after all.
I think the most you'd be able to do is fend it off until it decides it's not going to win. At best, in most situations, this might include punching and kicking and hoping you won't need too many stitches when you're done. In the worst-case scenario, stitches would be a blessing.
Sometimes, intelligence only gets you so far in the animal world.
