Ridiculous speed, anything can come out in front of a vehicle going at such a speed....dogs, kids, other vehicles, other animals. Plus rider could suddenly come to a patch of bad road, or a slippery patch, got no chance of pulling up fast at such a speed.

I don't want to watch especially if either the dog or the 'driver/rider' is hurt.
I find it best to slow down and give the horn a short honk/beep.  That gets their attention and gives you a rough idea whether then see you and what they'll do now that they know a car/motorcycle is coming.  I find that dogs only are unpredictable when they don't realize you're there, or of they are really triggered by another dog (in a fight or in heat). 
Most Thais in our area can't seem to take their feet off of the accelerator.  So in our area dead dogs aren't that uncommon as well as car/motorcycle damage.  People need to slow down and be caution but here in Thailand?  They just can't.  Most of the time if you let the dogs know you're coming and slow enough to react, there is no problem.

Thai people slowing down is a lightly to happen as dog owner taking care of there dogs and controlling stray dogs.

Attacking you in a car?

Yes. Frequently. Usually small yappy things. One in particular. Unfortunately it hasn't gone under the wheels yet. A little swerve to help is tempting but I don't want to tempt fate.

You should get the title right. It should read "dog taken out by an idiot on motorcycle".

 

Dog or no dog, that rider is a temporary citizen (looks like he survived this time) and he might take out a human next time.

I personally know two Thai ladies both of whom killed by hitting a black dog while riding at night.  Two different accidents (and black dogs I think).
