I just saw the funniest dog at a rest stop. He nodded at everyone he looked at. Everyone there was laughing at him.

Please don't let your dogs out to "greet" the mailman unless the dog is familiar with the person. Dogs may see someone approaching the house as a threat to their people or their territory.

I have never been bit without this follow-up from the owner. "He doesn't bite! I don't know what got into him!"

In many cases, if the attack is severe, the family dog will be taken away and euthanized.

Protect your delivery person. Protect your dog.
