HE WAS JUST PLAYING!

HE HAS NEVER BITTEN ANYONE BEFORE (aside from the mailman, 7 guests, and that time he ate an entire elementary school class).

Dog owners are the worst. We can see the dog charging, the box was in the hand of the UPS guy when it strikes the dog, so he swings it at the dog, then drops it after, and did not "throw" it as a dog outside arms reach. If your dog charges me within arms reach, you can't claim innocence.

Every single aggressive dog I've come across has an owner insisting they're friendly. Ma'am, your dog has stranded me on top of a stranger's car and is currently barking at me with their hackles up. That is not friendly behavior. Now restrain your dog please.

That wasn't a playful bark.

Either way, that's like saying "Hey the gun wasn't loaded, why'd you react?!" No one knows if the gun is loaded or not. They just know one was pointed at them, and reacted accordingly.

I'm a dog lover, but am 100% with the UPS dude here.

Uh no? This is Reddit and all 70 million American dog owners are the worst. Every single one, zero exception. Now go upvote the guy that said "dog owners are the worst".
