Perhaps consider "attack" as broadly defined or metaphorical, similar to "cell phone == crack pipe", which of course isn't nonsense either, or is it.
Still doesn’t work.
There are over 3x more motor vehicles in America than dogs [1][2]. There are more households with cars than dogs. Our interaction frequency with vehicles is much greater. The threshold for damage, given a vehicle’s power, is much less. For any measure of “attack,” the frequency and damage from cars will always exceed that from dogs.
It’s a stupid aside that doesn’t make any actual arguments about why taking cell phones from kids is bad.

Maybe have a look at this (cyclist chased by dogs). None of this stuff gets reported. This guy has hours and hours of similar attacks. It is pretty common.
Well I still wouldn't like to call it, because a dog will in many cases, perhaps the majority, escape the owner's control and run up to you and sniff you, which is very unusual for cars.
