If you were in Marion County, there is a leash law. Backtrack in municode.com if you want to look at ordinances for another county or municipality.
The dog chased you, it had done so before, and the owner admitted she knew the dog had a habit of chasing people. That rises to the level of recklessness in my book. All those things make it different from a situation where someone just hits an animal.
