It ran right at me and four shots later was dead at my feet. I know at least two shots connected but it is not easy shooting a dog running at you full steam. I really don't think OC spray would have stopped him.

Each situation is different, but dogs are very sensitive to OC spray and I have stopped a lot of dog attacks with it.

That is not always the case. A couple electric company guys tried to get into my back yard without notifying us and the sprayed my two Rotties preventing them from entering. The spray had no effect and they were unable to gain entry. They left us a note complaining and telling us about the easement and all. I called to explain they were lucky I wasn't there since they are required to give written notice before entry and I would have been able to keep my dogs in and gate unlocked so they could have access to their equipment, but since that didn't happen they might have gotten themselves shot for attempted trespass and assaulting my dogs. Anyway, my experience is that OC spray effectiveness on dogs is hit and miss.
