If your goal is to protect your dog, picking him up was in fact the correct thing to do.
But be aware that this may provoke an attack upon you. I know because it happened to me when I was about 10 years old. I was bitten on the back. It hurt but my dog lived. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
