Don't drop the soap

Don't drop the soap (Page 1) - News - Neworder: "You've been framed in a murder of a prominent politician. Since your country doesn't have the death penalty, you've been sentenced to spend the rest of your life in prison, but not just any prison, but the latest tax-dollar-saving addition to the department of correction's arsenal - the circular prison 4000. Now for the riddle:
The prison is very simple: you, the prisoner, are confined to the area of a circle. The perimeter of the circle is patrolled by a vicious guard dog (the dog can walk only on the perimeter of the circle). The dog can run up to 4 times faster than you and it's smart - it will always try to catch you. If you manage to reach the perimeter and the dog isn't there - you immediately escape and get a chance to clear your name.
The question is (of course) how the hell do you escape?"
