Also, my 2# yorkie is aggressive which is why I do keep him away from ppl but if he were to "attack" someone I wouldn't expect them to stand idly and allow him to bite them instead of defending themselves. They would literally have to leave his area or he would keep coming for them. To me size is irrelevant when it comes to what one fears. I don't think anyone so far has sided with the mail carrier some can just understand both sides. |
Sorry, I do not come even close to agreeing with you. This guy was not afraid or he would not have picked up a rock....he would have run. I too have had aggressive dogs .. small ones. I WOULD expect them to get away from one of them. NOT smash it in the head with a rock. As someone else said, it is entirely too personal of a response.
Nope, I don't feel for HIS side. Get away from the dog....a 10 pound dog simply is not going to inflict that much damage. Not buying this story. And, the article said that 2 neighbors said there was no aggression from the dog.
I hope he is not allowed to continue delivering mail if he has such "fears". If he is found innocent and keeps his job, I hope it is an inside job.
