>. I'm still not sure what the proper thing to do is,

I don't think there is a proper or right thing, though there are a fair few wrong things.

Don't threaten, don't startle, don't look scared or intimidated, not even worried. Don't shout, don't raise your arms, don't flap about, don't run.

Consider what the problem is. It's possible it wants food, but more likely it is being defensive in some way so don't simply continue doing whatever is bothering the dog.

Consider calmly, and confidently, withdrawing, it's the best way IMO.

If it comes to a fight you are going to get hurt, so avoid confrontation. It is unlikely that you are the sort of person who could deliberately seriously injure a dog and little else will stop it.

Carrying food is likely to attract more dogs, and if you're not confident around them then that will be bad.

If you really think it might come to it, then carry pepper spray. But you run a fairly real risk of pssing the dog off which will make things worse.
