Note: if you miss and he hits you, he will probably jump at you another 3 times, anyway while he's on the ground, you've got to position your weapon perfectly above him, and just start swinging he wont fall back at this point, but he'll run away. When he runs if you hit him just before he gets too far he will fall and you can beat him to death.

RUN AFTER IT. If this is a new area there are probably more dogs and when he howls, he's going to call the dogs on the map to your area, thankfully when he howls, you can hit him, and he wont call the other dogs.
