basically an accident i guess. Called in 2 dog bites in a year, and was concidered a repeat offender. Had to watch the safety movies every couple months for a year and it went in my file. what a joke.
Nice job! Easy o/t watching those movies!
Sorry Sober but IE called and said your bulkhead door was open way too long at that stop and all knowing telematics decided you left it open while you walked that stop off. This picture is their proof! You're fired!
Seriously though, some of the nicest dogs I run into on my route are pitbulls. We even had one customer that got a lot of pkgs for his home business put "dog is friendly " on his labels so any different driver wouldn't be afraid of his pitbull, and she really was the sweetest thing.
I had one house that had 2 very friendly pitbulls. One day I pull up and as I approached the house they were jumping on me and licking me. I saw what I thought was a rag or a mophead laying by their door. As I got closer I realized it was the neighbors little yorkie. His throat had been ripped out and there was blood everywhere! I just thought "Nice doggie."
Maybe its just all the news headlines I have seen. But I am scared to death of Pitbulls. I have had a couple on previous routes and none have been the kind where you wanna chance a friendly pat on the head, without losing an arm. My daughter just baught a blue Pit from Alaska, and picked it up from the airport on Friday, so maybe my fear of them will change as i get acquainted with the breed. HOPEFULLY!!!
Absolutely!Socialize, socialize, socialize.
Yeah! When their pitbulls maul some kid, the first words out of the owners mouth are always, "He is sooo sweet, he'd never attack someone!".
There are some labs on rtes here that I wouldn't trust to turn my back on.That's an easy one. The owners failed to do their part. All dogs are wild at heart and need limits. When owners fail to provide the necessary limits, tragedies can occur in any breed. Labradors are, according to the last UPS pcm I was given on dog safety, the number 1 people biter in the USA. Pits, Rotts and the like are more newsworthy.
Pit Bulls have been banned all over the US. The military has banned them from base housing at quite a few bases.You do realize it's not just the dogs, but the people who raise them...that to me seems a bit paranoid...but that's Canada.

I think if the dogs are going to be outlawed the owners should be as well. Dogs do what dogs do, it's f88888 idiot owners that don't control their animals that cause problems.You do realize it's not just the dogs, but the people who raise them...that to me seems a bit paranoid...but that's Canada.
