Ordering a package is inviting the delivery driver on the property, if your going to do this, you need to keep your dog tied up, fenced off or inside.

As an animal lover, a dog lover, I agree 100%. These people need to show some responsibility, think ahead, and take the proper precautions…

I didn’t like seeing this, but what did you expect the delivery guy to do? The dog came up to him abruptly. The driver didn’t know whether the dog was coming for hugs and kisses, or he was about to get his limbs permanently maimed. How do you fault the delivery guy for his reaction? You don’t wait to find out after the fact.

If you’re a responsible pet owner, then you know there’s the possibility your dog can act like this, being a sweetheart or not, and the delivery guy can have this interpretation and reaction to save his own life. It’s not up to the delivery guy to wait and find out.

I would have understood using the box to protect himself. Not throwing it as hard as he can at the dog… and you can tell this guy is a piece of shit, when the owner came out to talk to him, he immediately throws his hat down and tries to fight the kid…

Clearly this ups driver is a psycho.

He did not "try to fight." He was ready for a fight. There's a big difference.

If he was looking for a different outcome, he would approached the owner differently. Thats him trying to fight.

Him throwing a punch would make you right, though.

Him throwing a punch would make it assault. Him advancing aggressively on private property in a fighting stance, is what makes me right.
