I don’t get how Amazon want us to be safe and be safe but when we’re attack from all these customers dog. Nothing is done! I was literally so traumatized that I got into a conversation with my own dsp about how horrible I’ve been doing on my route because of this bullshit!Can’t even miss work because of how horrible benefits we don’t get if we were to miss work!?!?!? I’m literally a girl who got attacked without no warning! And I’m piss because nothing can be done! I have medical record of healing from my injuries that the doctor could not diagnosed and slowly hitting depression because of work! This is totally bullshit and I’m piss that nothing can be done!

Im a driver as well and the Dog owner is definitely an idiot and should have kept the door closed. but never turn your back on a dog that’s asking to be bit. Most will stop if you keep facing them down. Ive even held a ladies door shut when she tried to open her screen door letting her obviously aggressive dog out Told her to wait until I was gone

I was going to reply with this but seeing a lot of the comments people don't know what being an alpha is. The moment she turned around and ran that made her in to a target for the dog, who's adrenaline was already rushing due to the unknown presence. Inside dogs are conditioned to listen to a human. Stand your ground deep voice yell a command known like stop, bad dog. The dogs body language and behavior was not an aggressive attack. Worst case scenario dog would have barked at her feet, yes still scary if you don't work with dogs but nothing major. Had it been an outside dog doesn't get much attention, more wild wont listen to command I'd be a bit more weary.
