I do not think it is mean or cruel to fight off an unleashed dog to protect your vulnerable little ones.

Frequent calls to animal control might help the problem as well.

Good luck !!!!
I'm considering buying this PetGear Stroller to pull along with me to throw the Yorkies into if we encounter a loose dog:
