I carried a box-cutter to cut off cod tags years ago, but when all you see is teeth and snarls coming at you, it's hard to be that accurate with your knife.(was only bit 3 times in 26 years)

I have a house on my route. It has a 6 foot chain link fence around it. The lady has 3 dogs,one black and a chocolate Lab. She also has one mean crazy, German Shepherd.
i pull up to the house, dogs were out,but nobody was home. (Yes I tapped the horn) I tossed the package over the fence (shipper release) . The German Shepherd, chewed the crap out of that box.
then it lifted it's leg and pissed on it! The two labs,did the same thing!....Funny as Hell!
now the customer wants me to throw the package,on her porch roof, so the dogs can't get them!...lol

In driver school the instructor told us we were allowed to bring pepper spray for dogs. I personally saw too many liabilities there and the possible loss of employment so opt to use my intuition, diad, boxes, etc instead.
They should make the rules more clear!

I dropped a large box on a small dog trying to bite me. I've also smashed a dog in the head with a diad that was trying to bite my leg and kicked one in the head that had just bit me. All 3 times the owners either said he's fine or let go of the leash as I was approaching like it was a nice dog that wanted to say hi. I'm cautious now if a dog is questionable until I know it.

I like dogs and few of them scared me. If you are afraid the dog can tell and are more likely to be aggressive. I had more trouble with little dogs that were annoying but not really dangerous. Inbred crazy little dogs.

I love dogs.
One of the dogs on my route died last week and when the owner came out and told me we both cried about it.
However...if a 100 lb dog comes charging at me with evil intent, I will defend myself by any means necessary and if the dog winds up injured or dead thats just too damn bad.

This is "Taz", who died last week. :-( Taz was a 120lb Rhodesian Ridgeback who came charging and barking at me one dark night a few years ago with the sole intention of getting a cookie. I gave him one and we were good buddies from that point on, but I can totally understand why someone who didnt know him might feel threatened.

I knew most of the dogs by name and always petted them as I walked past them. (only a couple did I ever avoid). There was a dog on a route I ran before I got my own route. He would hear the UPS truck coming and would have a small rock in his mouth he would drop on the step for the driver to throw for him to fetch. When I ran that route he would do the same to me but look at me with a puzzled expression as if to say "You aren't Al".

I'm glad you don't have them crumbling and decomposing all over the dash.
I hate that.

Any dogs in any yard that I don't personally feel like I'd let my kid walk up to and let pet get two beeps from the curb, then a info notice with "loose dogs" and a NI1,2,3 appropriately, on the mail box. Much like the dogs themselves, you have to train owners appropriate behavior.
I have had to explain why a swing driver would dr something the following day that I sheeted as NI when they got a split that showed up on a report. After a couple times, the sups stop asking and just write "dog" on thier paper. Haven't had to do the aforementioned procedure after the first year on my regular stuff I get everyday.

That's a good question. Why is the casual able to complete the delivery and you aren't/can't/won't?

Are you not amused?
To bad this guy didn't put as much effort in to keeping his dog tied up, as he did to making that sign. Dog might still be alive.
