[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 480979, member: 12570"] We have all been involved in incidents with dogs but how many of us have made the delivery while carrying a "rod-like object"? Let's assume for a second that the homeowner was home and he witnessed the driver walking up to make the delivery while carrying this object. What do you think his first question is going to be? "Why are you carrying that? Are you carrying that because of my dogs?" You can bet that the homeowner is going to call the toll free to complain about the driver carrying a "weapon" on to his property and he would be justified in doing so. Someone mentioned DRing a pkg and the dog eating the contents. I have had that happen twice, once with brewers yeast and the other with an area rug. The dog almost died after eating the yeast as I guess it mixed with his stomach juices and expanded. Both were good DRs and UPS paid $0 for both. We have many options available to us when dealing with dogs, none of which should involve carrying a weapon for the sole purpose of "defending" ourselves. Defending yourself against injury is by all means justified--what this driver did goes beyond defending yourself and he should suffer whatever consequences await him. [/QUOTE]
