“I think the most traumatizing was seeing my lips and my chin on the ground”
SAN ANTONIO — An Amazon driver in Texas is recovering after he said he was attacked by a dog while making a delivery on Monday.
According to police, Jose Luis “Trey” Rodriguez, 22, was dropping off a package in San Antonio at about 11:15 a.m. CDT when he was attacked, KSAT-TV reported.
I get a few overnight deliveries. No idea what time they come in the night. I've a long lane with a locked gate at the end. The perimeter is fenced four board with woven. I know a lot of folks let protective dogs roam the area at night. If they are going to get deliveries in the night they best do something different. I know the dog jumped the fence. However, if the owner requested the delivery his ass will probably be tore up in court.
With that asshole dog Jack's hatred of delivery drivers, I always make sure I track the package. UPS, Amazon and USPS always deliver in mid-afternoon here, so on delivery day Jack doesn't go out in the afternoon. If he absolutely has to, I'm with him.
This, Overnight Delivery, is new to me. If you order something and it says overnight delivery....I've found my package at the gate as early as 4a. I know it was not there at 10p when I went to bed. Any next day delivery for me, is late afternoon.
Exactly. We had two dogs, one GSD and the other a 35 pound brown dog, part hound. If anyone came to the door, they'd both rush out to make friends with the delivery guy. Our UPS driver would give them each a dog treat, and marveled at the way they would both sit up and beg for the treat.
Fuuuuuck you. Quit acting like a fucking liberal. It's all about how they're treated, not the breed. My dog's a pit and he's not dangerous unless you're threatening me or my wife, and I'm not even sure about him protecting me. He was abused as a pup, but with some gentleness and care, he's turned out to be a damned good dog. As far as Rottweilers, they were a very popular breed with my friends back in the 80s and 90s. Every single one, without exception, was completely calm and laid back. I'd rather own a Rottweiler than a terrier when it comes to disposition.
Many years ago me, wife, two kids, visited her aunt and uncle in NC. They had a 1-BR house and damn small to boot. Wife slept in a recliner. Kids slept on blankets on the floor.
I slept on a chaise lounge on the screened-in porch. It was cold night, so I curled up with the Rottweiler for warmth.
Nobody here has talked shit about a cop or anybody else for that matter shooting a dangerous dog. It's only when they shoot dogs that don't deserve it.
Our GSP loves the delivery folks, especially our mail lady. If my wife is out walking the dog and the mail lady drives by, she'll pull over and spend some time with the dog.
Pits share a trait with people; most of them are just fine to be around, and a small minority are dangerous. Had one full-blooded American Staffordshire who was great, especially with kids; have two pit mixes that really enjoy being social with adults but are uncomfortable around kids (probably because they're noisy and annoying, same reason I'm uncomfortable around them). They're individuals with their own personalities.
Don't kid yourself. One of the most intolerant dogs I've ever owned was half lab. He hated to be touched by damned near anybody but me, would snap at anybody that tried, and he was never abused. I know this for a fact because I got him at 8 weeks old.
FWIW I used a lab as an example, I could have said poodle or golden retriever... I had a pit mix and he was a great dog, had friends with pits and never had problems.. But when I read about someone being attacked by a dog I can guess the breed.
Your view could be because pits are just so common. Almost all the dogs I see around here are either pits or hounds. It was the same in California too. All the Mexican gangbangers had to have one, and they turned them mean so they could fight them for bragging rights. There's where the real problem lies.
Shitwawas, cocker spaniels, australian cattledogs and the mutt down the street are the most likely to bite I have come across here.... We have PitBulls here but they are mostly laid back dogs that love to chase stray cats. My Rotti tolerates the cats as long as they stay away from his food bowl... JD
Why I carry, always....

DeleteJumped a fence to eat someone...
ReplyDelete"Staffordshire Terrier" So a cleaned up way of saying PITBULL, a dangerous breed that should be BANNED, along with rottweilers.

No problems at all with that dog.
Interesting that the news story called it a Straffordshire Terrier rather than a pit bull. I'd think that would get fewer fear clicks.
ReplyDeleteWhere's all the guys bashing cops for shooting dogs? Are they suddenly aware of why that could happen?

ReplyDeleteYou never hear about a lab eating the owner or the neighbors, it's always a pit bull.
