Generally a rat would try to avoid a larger predator such as a dog but if a rat were cornered or if it were protecting its young it would fight back and try to bite its attacker, regardless of whether that attacker was a dog, cat, fox or human.

Dogs do not generally attack rats. The dogs will attack rats if they feel like they are being threatened but generally, both animals will ignore each other.
