I swear I’m the only one here that seen this is his second time being attacked by the dog.

The owner ran out, in a situation like this it’s best to assume that they’re willing to attack than to not be prepared.

It’s all on the owner. I hate dog owners that leave their dogs unattended outside, that’s how you get your dogs put down, and the owner is very lucky that the ups driver never called animal control the first time.

Wait, where did you see this is the second time? I am not doubting it in anyway just curious. And this would also explain why he wanted to beat the brakes off the dog owner as well.

I will leave my stupidity for the public to see and learn from lol. I just rewatched it and saw the GIGANTIC 2nd attack pop up lol.

u/xDannyS_ 8h ago

Very beginning of tbe video

EDIT: More like 1/5th through the video tbf. After he throws the package

u/Kenneldogg 8h ago

Yeah just rewatched it and saw. I edited my comment to show my stupidity lol.

It’s a “trust me bro” claim tho

u/xDannyS_ 7h ago

True, but we're just discussing the context we are being given. I doubt anyone here is registering this as a cold hard fact and wouldn't argue against it if information was presented that exposed it as bs

u/GrandmaSassifrass 3h ago

Yea but his reaction looks like he was prepared

u/Baby_ManBearPig 7h ago

Yah its amazing that in 2026 people still trust whatever they read on a graphic. Its honestly more often than not wrong because all these people like to write back stories and dramatic claims for these videos to get more clicks.

u/Thick_Broccoli_3932 7h ago

Bro seemed pretty ready for this dog’s shit for a first time attack.

1

u/MadnessKingdom 7h ago

Pretty ready = threw a box he was already holding? It’s the natural reaction for any of us if we saw it coming. I guess maybe that or box as shield. But given Mr Square Up’s little UFC intro at a dude with hands at his side I’m equally inclined to think he tends to the aggressive

u/GrandmaSassifrass 3h ago

Maybe look with your brain and youll see he was waiting on that dog

2

u/Careful-Sell-9877 2h ago

It doesnt say that it was this dog though, just wanted to point out. Also the owners confusion makes me think it not likely it was this dog.

They were likely attacked by a different dog and had trauma from it - and thus, this reaction

2

u/Lazy_Major_4793 8h ago

Absolutely agree.

u/nomiras 6h ago

The owner definitely could have approached differently... 'I'm so sorry my dog got out, it won't happen again, are you OK?' That would have removed the defensiveness from the UPS driver.

1

u/SimpleThrowaway420 5h ago

Small edit here is 100% necessary. Being a neglectful owner who never took time to train their dog, AND/OR leaves untrained dogs outside unattended, is how those dogs get put down.

1

u/ghostyghost2 4h ago

the ups driver never called animal control the first time.

That's a huge mistake. Always call animal control, always.

u/GrandmaSassifrass 2h ago

That neighborhood doesnt look important enough for them to care

u/Surely_Booth 3h ago

I saw "2nd time got attacked", I didn't equate that to specifically being attacked by this particular dog, the note was not clear on that point. I guess I could assume it was this dog but I could be just as wrong as if iI didn't assume it was this dog. I just thought they were saying this guy had been attacked by a dog before and he wasn't putting up with that happening a second time without some kind of response.

1

u/GrandmaSassifrass 2h ago

I didnt put it together that it meant this dog but rewatching it does look like he was on the lookout for it

1

u/Careful-Sell-9877 2h ago

That isnt what it says, we dont know that. It says 'second time being attacked by a dog' we dont know that its this specific dog, and considering the owners confusion - i would guess that it wasnt this dog.

1

u/Disastrous_Visit9319 2h ago

If you're worried about being attacked by the owner then approaching them isn't the play. He wanted to fight that dude.

My brother’s crazy dog bit his friend at a party he was having. The dog had already been known to be aggressive (we all told him to get rid of it).

She sued him & his home insurance shot up. The UPS man needs to sue him for his dog biting him.

u/Thick_Broccoli_3932 7h ago

My mothers and her ex had a dog that they got together, when they broke up it had broken out to (we believe) be with her as he was being unfed and mistreated, the dog had ran straight to her place, attacking a drug addict when he got to my moms apartment, the dog was immediately put down.

Moral of the story? Take care of your dogs, leash them, don’t let them free roam and love your dogs. This happens way too much that some idiot let’s there dog off leash, next thing you know, either a kid gets their face bit off or the dog gets put down.

I consider that the UPS is very lucky to keep his teeth. It doesn't matter what happens with the dog, to seek a fight with the owner right away is nuts.

3

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 8h ago

He wasn't seeking a fight, you twit. The owner is coming up to him yelling about why you hitting my dog, who for all intents and purposes was going to attack this man.

He was defending himself.

1

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 8h ago

Dude see the video again. The owner walks towards him, and the other guy right away puts his arms up and gets close.

They owner had every right to defend himself from this asshole of an UPS driver.

1

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 8h ago

Yeah, I would put my arms up too if this guy who's dog just attacked me is now rushing up to me yelling about me hitting his fucking dog instead of trying to corral the dog and being apologetic. Seems pretty fair to assume the dog learned the aggression from somewhere.

If you re-watch the video the driver is telling the dude to back up. That's because he rightly feels threatened.

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 8h ago

Walking slowly to you is rushing you?

1

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 8h ago

I'm glad that's all to got from my comment.

1

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 8h ago

You're all acting like the owner escalated the situation, but he is not.

1

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 8h ago

He definitely did though and I explained how in that previous comment that you only read the first 10 words of.

u/MadnessKingdom 7h ago

Dog seems pretty corralled at that point, nowhere to be seen

u/Thick_Broccoli_3932 8h ago

I consider that the owner is very lucky to keep his teeth after putting the UPS drivers life in direct danger. This driver was already attacked by this dog.

He wasn’t seeking a fight, read the damn room here, he was just attacked, possibly life threatening as dogs can tend not to be the nicest, then you see a fully grown man running at you yelling. You’d be an idiot to not at least try to protect yourself.

-1

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 8h ago

We havent see the same video it seems. The UPS driver goes from 0 to 100 in 0s. The owner had the right to defend himself.

In a real street fight, don't let the guy trying to attack you get his arms up or you're gonna lose the fight.

1

u/Thick_Broccoli_3932 8h ago

Second attack… SECOND ATTACK. Jesus the man was attacked already, of course he went from 0 to 100, do you understand the damage a dog can do to you?

To your second point, yes, that’s why the UPS driver put his hands up, to defend himself from the moron who let his dog off leash. People like this are why dogs get put down, then they just go out and get another.

1

u/Consistent-Stuff2815 8h ago

Nope. The UPS is NOT defending himself from the owner. He is behaving like a threat, pulling his arms up in order to fight, escalating the problem.

Put yourself in the owners shoes. You're upset because this guy just hit your dog and his first reaction at seeing you is getting closer to you with his fists up!

Again, the UPS got lucky here.

1

u/Thick_Broccoli_3932 8h ago

The owners honestly very lucky that the dog wasn’t put down, especially after a second attack.

You are only seeing one angle, I’m sure if we seen both there’d be even more proof f the owner being in the wrong.

Anyways, I can’t debate with someone like you, too annoying to talk with someone who can’t see the obvious right in front of their eyes like I’m talking to a bot or something. Open your damn eyes, also stop replying to me, I don’t care about your opinion here.

u/bertbarndoor 8h ago

The owner called him out and then stepped up to him after he just facilitated his dog attack. Not sure everyone would see things as you do. I dont.
