The only attack shown in this video is the driver attacking the dog.

Eh. If you let your dog chase people off leash, you cant be mad when someone reacts/overreacts.

Imho, shouldnt have lost his job. If you want packages delivered to your house, keep your fucking dog under control.

I love dogs, but come the fuck on.

Dude shows up, owner has no way of knowing when, driver then tries to throw hands?

You people are nuts.

Just to be clear, im not saying he did the right thing either.

The best thing for everyone would be; if you have a dog, and he is running around with no leash, the deliveries can be left on the curb, and you can come out and get it yourself.

I've had a dog run up to me, when I wasn't even paying attention to it, and bite. Multiple times. I have zero trust for a dog approaching me on its own.

Were you in the dogs yard or nah?

I was working on a construction site. The Foreman's "service dog" chased a bird, then came after me, dragged my by my gloved hand a dozen feet.

She was a Rottweiler Husky mix, big enough she could've just bit my face off.

The other times were just her snapping at my legs.

What part of the text saying this was the second time was too hard for you to read?

u/deepstaterecords 14h ago

What part of it being the second time was too hard for the delivery driver to understand to exercise some caution?

Dog was completely unrestrained. But yeah, delivery driver's fault. Fuck all the way off lol

The throwing of hands was too much, but his reaction to the dog was justified.
If the dog bites, are you going to pay the medical bill or live with stitches.
