What a traumatic experience, I am so sorry you had to go through this. Dogs are so powerful when they are in that attack mode, Now there is always that possibility they will come back.
Iquade, comments are accurate, that is how most dogs attacks are handled on this Island.
My vet's advice after my dog was attacked he was SERIOUS. When he goes walking he carries a heavy stick with nails hammered in randomly, sticking out about 1/4" If an aggressive dog attacks, he hits them with the stick, said the pain stops them in their tracks. Also said you cannot hesitate, you have to take control of the situation! My reaction that is cruel, but after reading what you just went through I am going to rethink that decision.
There is helpful information in Wayne's blog about the dog problem.

Call Donna Whitaker in Kona and register a complaint.

Also keep a camera handy, if you see the dogs in your yard take photo's.
Hope this helps
