I didn't get harmed by him, thankfully, but I still think cornering me while barking and growling after chasing me is still considered as an "attack", right?

My mom had gone to our local Home Depot to get some gas for the grill outside, cause she was going to make us some burgers. I went outside with my camera to take some photos of the flowers we have, since they've bloomed, and I ended up lying on my stomach to get a better shot. Soon after I stand myself up to walk back into the garage (it has a built in screen door my dad put in, so we could open the garage door but yet keep it sealed from the outside so the cats could enjoy the fresh air), I hear barking. So I turned around and I see this dog sitting across the street. So I'm like, "okay, whatever" and I move maybe two steps. He growls and starts making his way into the street, coming towards our yard. Now where I was standing, the garage isn't near me. The front house door is. So I bolted it up the front porch to the door, only to find out it's locked. In the meanwhile, this dog runs into our yard and stops by the tree I was near and stands there, barking and growling at me, doing it even more with the slightest movement I made. I would have bolted for it and ran for the backdoor, but that's too far away around the house and up on the back porch and the dog was too close, he could have gotten me if I did that.

I heard some neighbors come outside into their own yard and I was about to yell at them for help, but the dog suddenly started turning around, sniffed at the ground a few times before walking away. As soon as he was back into the street, I got my ass off the porch and ran into the back yard and up onto the back porch and into the house through the slider door. As soon as I shut the door behind me, I burst into tears.

Just gives me another reason to be scared of dogs even more.
