True the neighbor(s) said they didn't see any aggression in the dog. But what they consider friendly dog body language the carrier could have perceived as threatening. We don't know because we weren't there ourselves. What it really comes down to is if the owners were keeping an eye on their pet (and did perimeter checks as another poster stated) the whole situation could have been avoided. |
Like I said, dogs do sometimes get away from the best of owners. No one will ever convince me that this man needed to take a rock and smash the head of a ten pound dog.
Yes, the situation could have been avoided if the postman had turned and walked or ran away. That ten pound dog was not going to kill him. I have heard much worse stories about dogs and postal workers and never heard of one using a rock in such a manner. Brutal....that is what it was....BRUTAL and disgusting. I don't care if I was there or not. I don't know how the Postal Service trains their employees, but I will bet my last nickel they are not told to do something like that.
I will follow this case to see what the outcome is.
