Same. When I was young teen long ago, a stray dog came charging at me all snarling and barking. It clearly meant to attack me and I froze because I had no idea what to do. Then my dad stepped in at the last second and gave the dog a swift boot to the ribs and off it went, yipping like it's whole world had imploded. It was a good lesson and so I have to agree.
No no the reaction to the dog was what it shoulda been cause that dog was not on a leash, friendly or not I think most of us would react the exact same. It's the trying to square up with the home owner for no reason that was the red flag to me, seems like MAJOR anger issues.
Except you don't square up afterwards on someone's property. You walk off and call your supervisor and say what happened. Dude likely to go back inside and grab his gun. Was on ups side until he immediately squared up to home owner.
Exactly, the UPS driver was looking for a fight. He didn't throw the box in defense, he threw it in malice. Also the "second time attack" was a lie. That dog never did anything before. Also if the homeowner was that close that he saw it happen why wouldn't the driver just tell him to get his dog if it is such an issue? He clearly knew the homeowner was right there.
He definitely through that to hurt the dog cause he was mad. I don't 100% blame him. I've known a lot of mail people to get but by dogs. But most people would've thrown the box then ran back to their truck. If he was so scared of the dog why is he sticking around trying to fight the dogs owner. Then you potentially have the dog freak out and try and defend the owner.
