I don't know if you're being flippant or not, but the desire to eat humans has long been bred out of the domestic animal gene pool (and, frankly, out of most of the wild animal gene pool as well). The dogs who are chasing you almost certainly just want to establish their dominance over you and defend their territories. It's also possible that they want to play.

But any dog that is chasing you, or any other human, needs to be put on a leash. You should have a chat with the dog's owner and point out to them, politely but firmly, that an off-leash dog chasing people s serious liability risk for them. And if the dog doesn't have an owner you should call you local animal control.
