I did not intend to alarm people, but I think a good policy is that promoted by Teddy Roosevelt, "wwalk softly and carry a big stick".

Hi group

I spent 4 weeks in Ubud and other parts of Bali last year, with my wife and 4 y.o. daughter. We're all still alive & thriving.

Previously I've wandered extensively about the back-blocks of Java.
Mangy and otherwise slightly scary-looking dogs are a feature of life there, and they are lying about in droves on footpath and road by day; they come to life as it gets dark and cooler at night. They are by and large uninterested in people, and most (>99%) of the growling, barking and scuffling is directed at other dogs. Rabies outbreak notwithstanding, I'd echo Steve Potter's remark about dogs in Indonesia - be alert, but don't be alarmed. The same could be said for terrorist threats outside tourist traps ... but I wouldn't say that :-)
