[QUOTE="LastBest&Final, post: 480884, member: 20437"] It would be nice to get the whole story. Did the owner post beware of dogs signs? Did the drive knowingly open and enter a gate that had two large Belgian Malinois? Did he bring a "large, rod like object" in with him to protect himself? If the answer is yes, I would fault the driver for putting himself in a hazardous situation where "nothing good can come from it." "The Belgian Malinois is an alert, high-energy breed, popular as both a police and military working dog. Although sometimes mistaken for the German Shepherd Dog, the Malinois is more elegant in build and lighter-boned, but does not lack for strength, agility or herding ability. Intelligent and trainable, the Belgian Malinois possesses a strong desire to work and is happiest with regular activity and a job to do. A relatively easy keeper due to their medium size and short coat, this confident breed loves their families, but may be somewhat reserved with strangers. They are naturally protective of their owners without being overly aggressive." Quote from the American Kennel Club. Belgian Malinois are great guard dogs and they are only doing there job protecting the owners property. Being a delivery person we have a reason to trespass, but not a right to trespass. We don't have deliver a package if there are great risk of injury to us or risk of damaging property. If the driver had no knowledge of the dogs before encountering them, then the driver was in the right. The driver would not have any reason not to enter the gate and deliver the package. The owners are very lucky that was the only injury occurred and every one is OK minus one dogs eye. Large breed dogs can and do injure and kill people, so he has every right to protect him self if caught by surprise. "It's obvious he's gone way past the line," Storey said. "I understand protecting yourself, (but) this is putting yourself in a position where nothing good can come from it." It's of my opinion from what the owner said that the driver enter the gate with a long rod like object with every intention of injuring the dog or dogs if confronted. That is why he was place in custody for animal injury charge with a $500 bond. One phone call from a clerk would have stop this. I have never been questioned about why I brought a package back that I couldn't deliver because of a dog, yet. If a dog is there and it is safe don't deliver it. Why take the chance? Again we don't have the whole story. [/QUOTE]
