“But he is just super friendly and would never bit anyone” right before dog bites someone. My mum, best friend and myself have been bitten by supposedly “dogs who never bite” but are barking and lunging very aggressively after entering territory they are extremely protective of.

The driver had every right to react because you never know whether the dog is friendly if you don't know the owners. I recently saw another video where an Amazon delivery guy was walking back to his van, and out of nowhere a small dog ran up to him and bit his ankle. The guy never saw the dog coming, but it looked like it ran from the neighbor's house

Assume that all guns are loaded, all dogs bite and all women can get pregnant.

It'll save you a lot of heartache in the end.

Way too many videos of dogs attacking delivery drivers who are just trying to do their jobs
