In my experience, pepper spray just makes an angry dog angrier. A squirt gun is much handier IMO.
I would imagine, that if a dog is going to attack you through pepper spray, that it is not even going to notice a little water. Pepper spray is pretty nasty stuff to get sprayed with!
I'm curious, too ... the people that are saying no dog should ever be spayed with Mace ... what do they suggest? And would they feel differently if they had a job that brought them in contact with strange, unpredictable dogs on a daily basis?
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
