I think you have 2 legitimate options

1. Do nothing. Stay inside and call the cops.
2. Run outside, either unarmed or with a holstered handgun and yell at the guy, and hopefully he'll run off. You better to be ready to wrastle around for that handgun.

I wouldn't risk my dog unless it was an all or nothing fight. I've lost my best dog to a crook one time. Shot him in the hip with birdshot to run him off to rob the house. Leg swelled up, nerve damage. Had to put him down.
