Some places I travel to have stray dogs in the city. Can a knife be used effectively if attacked by one or more of them? I've had creepy close encounters.

Can it be used sure, but there are better options. A knife would require that you be very close to the dog, while a stick or pepper spray would provide much greater distance between you and the dog.
Pepper spray is used by the US Postal Service, and they have lots of experience with dog bites.
Of course, if you can avoid aggressive dogs in the first place, that's better still.
