Yes and No; dependent on the situation involved. This question depends on many factors; Lion's state of health, Dog's state of health, Number of Dogs in the pack - each of which swing the possibilities. One on One a Lion would win a closed ring match with a dog (even a Hyena) if both were healthy, the odds however go down based on the factors given above.
Yes. Hyenas and dogs will frequently drive a lion from its kill. The lion can run away, but if he tries to stay and fight, the lion will kill the dogs in front - and the dogs behind him will kill the lion.
Lion any day, unless there was a large pack of wild dogs, and even then the lion would probably win. It has happened that large packs of ten or more wild dogs have overcome lions, although not without huge numbers of them being killed. Keeping the lion busy by making rushes from one side then the other, wearing it down, and inflicting wounds that bleed and weaken the cat. There have been documented records also of dholes, the Asian wild dogs, killing tigers in this fashion. One pack of 33 dogs killed a large male tiger in Uttar Pradesh in 1981, although losing 15 of their numbers to the tiger's strength. In another instance, 23 dogs had a tigress surrounded, and were wearing her down, despite her killing three of the pack. Suddenly a large male tiger appeared, and scattered the dogs, killing two before the dogs ran off.
Although a pack of hyena's have been known to defend against and kill a solitary lion, IMHO a pack of lions would tear a pack of hyenas to shreads.
An elephant, a rhino, a hippo, a pack of hyenas, a large crocodile, a poacher, and a cape buffalo.
It depends on the pack.

They are pack animals, and there is safety in numbers. A pack of wild dogs can intimidate a lion.
1 lion vs. 1 hyena, the lion would kill/scare the hyena away. Hyenas are usually only in a pack. 1 lion vs. a pack of hyenas, they would kill the lion.
you can get a pack of dogs when you get a 7 kill streak in multiplayer
A lion can kill a hyena, but a pack of hyenas can kill a lion. Both are predators.
Strength in Numbers. African wild dogs are much smaller than their neighbors like Lions, Leopards etc. But they always live in packs and help one another when in trouble. This helps them stay out of trouble. A adult lion can easily kill a single wild dog but wouldn't risk taking on a pack of wild dogs.
One hyena alone would be no match for a lion, but a pack of hyenas working together can kill an adult male lion.
Possibly, but not likely. There are three records of dholes, the Asiatic wild dog, killing tigers, which are somewhat larger and stronger than lions, but in each case, the dhole pack was over twenty five dogs, and many were killed in the fight. One tiger killed 13 of a pack of 25, and made his escape. There are also a few records of Cape hunting dog packs killing lions, but again, not without a large toll taken on the pack.
African wild dogs are very alike normal dogs just that they are from a different country, they are referred to as a pack.
