[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1314123, member: 14668"] And I don't have time to call in an accident report for running over a dog I keep a couple of biscuits in my shirt or coat pocket as well as a box in the back. It doesn't take any time at all out of my day to toss biscuits. Dealing with dogs out in the country is part of the job and when you deliver to the same rural area for 20+ years you get to know the people and their dogs and dealing with them becomes part of the routine. None of the dogs that were on the route when I bid it in 1994 are still alive; an entire generation or two of new dogs have replaced them in the subsequent 20 years and during that time period I have NEVER run one over and neither I nor my relief drivers have EVER been bitten. Several on this forum have been critical of the manner in which I deal with dogs and hand out biscuits but the fact is that my success rate in regards to avoiding dog bites and accidents stands at 100% so you cant really argue with my results.
