If I remember correctly, it is 10 lbs placed in a 5 lb bag.
Seriously, a lot of good ideas here, but one that should be followed is to report the aggressive behavior of the dog. I worked in insurance for a 15+ years, personal lines, and the overall theory was a dog is entitled to one bite, after investigation of circumstances (kid jumps on a dog that is sleeping, stepping on the dog, startling the dog, etc.) Two bites, and the Homeowner policy was history at renewal. The police will put the owner on notice regarding the aggressive behavior. Good for your protection as well as your neighbors.
