[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5226306, member: 76643"] Yikes. That's an awful situation. I'm also a dog lover and wish you all the best. Honestly, based on what you've said, if I were in your shoes I think I'd be calling a lawyer and preparing to fight it to the bitter end -- for back pay and all. The "dog policy" at this company is asinine. If you'd walked it off and got bitten/mauled, you would've had to live with the damage (if you were still alive, that is!) and, chances are, an idiot manager suggesting you were still, somehow, to blame. Once I got nicked (barely broke the skin) by a yapper while doing a follow up in extended Monday area. No signs of the first yapper til I had already knocked at the door. I had done everything textbook: honked, called out "UPS" while approaching the door. Of course the owner let out the second ankle-biter when stepping out. I fended off the rascals as best I could, it doesn't seem right fighting one (or two, as it were) of them off as viciously as I would a dog that can do real damage. One managed to graze me on the shin. I messaged and called it in. Got a report filed. My center manager gave me the following sage advice, "We're just going to have to not exit the pkg car when dogs are out." I replied something like, "How quickly you forgot you driving days! That's not always how it happens, and it's not how it happened in this situation. Sometimes the dog doesn't show up until you're caught out in no man's land, and you know that." You need a lot of luck to make it through this career without getting bitten by, or running over, a pup. [/QUOTE]
