| horrifying...... it is so important if you leave your dog unattended outdoors, to check your yard daily to make sure there is no way your pet can get out of it's yard. I never leave my dog / dogs unattended, every time my dogs go out I check the entire perimeter of the back yard everytime. One precious life has been taken for no reason. Horrifying.

| That's so sad...I think he could have found a way to protect himself other than hitting the dog in the head with a rock...

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Wow I can not believe this happened. . . Defending himself against a dog attack . . . It was a 10 lb dog . . The size of my cat . . . . Why didn't the guy use his bag to block the dog or maybe start yelling . . . This is just sickening

| very very very sad state of affairs. he saw maxwell everyday for 5 years....sounds like he did something fishy to me. exact reason why I never allow mine out or anywhere out of my house alone. people are crazy.....10 pound dog really I would've let him bite me. sending many prayers to that family I cannot imagine how painful to lose your boy that way.

| Awful! The mail carrier could have defended himself against a 10 pound dog without resorting to a rock!! Before I had Max and Teddy, I was intensely afraid of even little dogs who tried to bite me when I was out walking . . . but I would never have done anything to harm them.

YT 1000 Club Member | Exactly. The situation is sad. The carrier could have been deathly afraid of dogs and may have thought the dog was threatening him even if it wasn't. Thus he overreacted defending himself. I agree with Matese don't leave pets unattended outdoors. This isn't the only situation that can happen people will jump a fence to steal your animals too. |

| very sad indeed. I think though that its very possible the mail man could have been deathly afraid even if the dog was non-threatening. My daughter's grandma was a letter carrier for 30 years. She didn't like any dog and was deathly afraid. When Troy was 12 weeks, she wouldn't even pet him. So a notice to all owners of pets no matter how big or small, everyone reacts differently and has a different tolerance level for pets left unattended. I do hope the family is compensated or provided an official apology.

Then he shouldn't be in a field were he would come in contact with dogs. I am afraid of water and I choose to work in a field where I am not around water. | |

Its highly likely that when he entered the field that he might not have been afraid. Sometimes being attacked or various experiences will change ones ideals and perceptions over time . I also think everybody has to work. This is his livlihood and not everyone has a world of options when choosing work. Some do things because they Have to not because they want to.
