I have encountered unleashed aggressive dogs quite often enough. They just go around me to chase the rider behind, something like that.
I also encounter packs of stray dogs at side of road although I always sound the bell on them to warn them of my presence to avoid a collision. They never gave chase, at least with me. I believe when others way they got chased by a pack of stray dogs. Dogs just seem bit more friendly with me and I'm just sharing the things I do differently that might be a factor.
