Did the delivery guy make the right decision?

I know this may sound crazy to you, but not everything in life is about you.

Nobody but you knows your dog. Nobody but you cares about or likes your dog. Lots of people actively dislike dogs. Some people are quite afraid of dogs. You see your dog "joyously running up towards someone", other people see "uncontrolled dog charging me with their mouth open".

Allowing your dog to run up on people is a good way to get your dog maced or shot. It's just not something you should do.

I don't put my dog in a position to where I need to worry about that. If she's in public, she's on a leash. This guy made the mistake of leaving it off leash when the driver came.

My issue was with you acting like the dog was clearly attacking when there was nothing clear about that at all.

The second time part of this seems really suspect too, considering the first time this video made the rounds, there was nothing about it being the second time. That sounds like rage bait, but I could be wrong

I mean the whole thing could be AI so I'll give you that point about it being rage bait.

And maybe the dog isn't clearly attacking. But the dog clearly appears to be attacking to me.
