The mailman is still freaked out whenever he hears her bark. Some people are just scared of any dog.
He probably has 100 dogs on his route that are just like yours. Bark like crazy and looks like it wants to attack.
99 are probably, like yours, just barkers that wouldn’t hurt him at all.
1 would attack him and do serious physical damage the first chance it got.
How can he tell the difference between the 1 and the 99? He can’t. So his options are to treat all barking dogs as potential biters (and avoid getting bitten by the 1) or treat all dogs as non-biters (and gurantee he will get bitten by the 1).
The regular USPS employee knows who's a risk after about one day on the job.
We do. That's why the dog is inside away from our front yard. I respect his fear. I just don't think a cop has any business shooting a family dog to death. If a cop has the same fear of a Golden Retriever as a Pit Bull, he needs a desk job.
I guess we need to pull Janet Reno out of retirement and get the ATF to torch all pet shops.
There you go. Problem solved.
