Lifehack: If you're attacked by a group of stray dogs, pretend to throw a stone at them. Each dog will think you're throwing the stone at it and will run away. This has worked for me twice.
The dogs are not hunting humans but want to defend territory or something similar.

The problem is that their understanding of their territory is not the same as our legal understanding, so they can attack on the roads outside their homes.
