[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 337187, member: 4653"] My opinion is if the dog is out, then the homeowner should be home (unless he leaves his poor animal out all day while he is at work). I know the dog. I see the dog. I beep, but the homeowner should be more alerted by the sound of my diesel engine as its more distintive than a horn sound (right?). He still doesn't come out. I beep again. The dog is now ready to tear my head off and barking like crazy. If the consignee is home and doesn't hear this racket, then I give up. Its only when he comprehends I'm not walking on his property will he come out and meet me. This is a real scenario, as this person gets stuff 3 times per week. I just think he's lazy and doesn't want to walk to the street which is about 50 yards from his house. I also almost killed the dog. It is pitch black on this street and I was driving down it. I didn't need to stop for at least another 1/4 mile. The dog was loose, heard my engine and made a B-line for the street. I had to slam on the brakes or this dog would have been dead. I would have felt bad for the animal, but not the family because they are so careless with this monster. [/QUOTE]
