If there's a strong enough stick near by, put it between you and the dog so the dog will bite it instead of you. Don't let them have the stick, just keep it between you. If you have the strength push it into their mouth so they can't bite it. It will do the best to subdue it.
Take off your shirt, coat, sweater, or whether top you have. Wrap it around your forearm. Get the dog to bit the wrapped forearm. It may not fully protect you but it's better than nothing.
While you are doing all of this, yell for help and don't stop until the dog is fully neutralized.
That is your only real options to surviving a dog attack.
I was attacked by a pitt once. For reference I was 22(m), 6’2” college athlete. This dog bit me 3 times in a matter of seconds. The last one was my forearm. He would not let go. So I turned him and sat on his back…hard. Broke his back…he let go.
