[RC] Does pepper spray work? - alexis_mills

I was attacked by a pit bull last week, on the dirt road to my house that I also ride to access the wash, and I've since been told that pepper spray might have kept him away. Have any of you been able to fend off a vicious dog, particularly a killer pit bull, with pepper spray?
 
I was alone that morning but often walk along there with my dogs or my horse, so I'm very grateful that they weren't with me, and that the wounds and bruises on my arm and leg are healing quickly. Think I might even ride tomorrow.
 
I see that Mace makes a special canine spray. Has anyone used it? Not sure it's much different than regular.
 
 Thanks for any advice.
