[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1015063, member: 14668"] As far as the cover drivers on my route go....when I recently went on a 4 week vacation, I left two 5lb. bags of dog treats in the truck for whoever filled in for me to use. When I got back, there were only a few crumbs left in one of the bags, and someone had apparently brought a ziploc baggie full of treats from home. Looks like I need to leave 3 bags instead of just 2 in the future. It has always been pretty obvious to me just by [I]looking[/I] at a dog whether or not I am going to have a problem with it. [B]I have yet to ever be attacked by a dog that came running out to the truck and stood by the door. [/B]When I enter a customers property, I [I]want[/I] the dog(s) to come running out. I [I]want[/I] to see them before I exit the vehicle. Its the ones that hide and sneak up on you...or the ones that are inside and fight their way out thru the door past the owner that are the problem dogs. A dog that jumps into the cab for a biscuit [I]isnt going to bite me[/I]. A dog that jumps up on me or slobbers all over me or sticks his nose into my hands or my pockets [I]isn't going to bite me[/I]. A dog that stands there by the side door obviously awaiting a treat [I]isnt going to bite me[/I]. If the "cost" of not getting chewed up is $10 worth of biscuits and having to wipe some slobber off of my hands every once in awhile, then its a cost I am glad to pay. In 25 years of doing this job I have never been bitten and I have never run over a dog, so I must be doing something right. [/QUOTE]
