I feel like you shouldn’t deliver mail or packages if you’re afraid of dogs. It’s a job hazard you know of going into it. Anyway, DH keeps a box of dog treats with him so he can give them to dogs on his route. but it is a federal government job and they won't fire anyone but maybe they should put them on desk duty Just don't apply to be a mail delivery person if you're scared of dogs.

A couple years ago we had a random dog show up in our back yard. The gate was broken so that's how he got back there. It was ginormous and looked awful. MH made the mistake of feeding it so it didn't want to leave our house. The mail man rang my door bell and yelled at me because the dog was out, etc. I told him it wasn't my dog. He said he was going to call the city on me. I told him to call the city because I'd been calling for several days and they won't get back to me. lol.

The FedEx guy at our first house was afraid of dogs. It probably didn't help that our lab could jump higher (against the door) than the poor guy was tall. It was terrible when we got married and he was there daily with deliveries from our registry, lol.

Just seeing this dog commentary. Eh, some people have crazy dogs. I love dogs, but if I don't know the dog and it seems aggressive, I am not interested in getting close to it. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to have their dogs contained enough so that someone can get to a mailbox without worrying that a dog may attack them. If you can't control your dog or have an electric fence, put your mailbox at the end of your yard.

My dog is an insanly friendly asshole who'd never hurt anyone, but I'd never just have him out like that for anyone to have to deal with. He's either inside, in the backyard or I'm with him in the front yard... unless he runs away, cause like I said, asshole.

I'm with you, @tallblonde. Goodness knows I've never met an animal I didn't like but I'm always wary of strange dogs.
