Seeing that the two large dogs are extremely hostile, and moving towards him, Theren readies himself for a fight.  He moves towards the dogs, knowing that turning his back on them would only make the situation worse.  Actually getting to the dogs though would take too much energy though, so instead he takes a defensive stance, focusing entirely on dodging whatever attacks are thrown at him.
