Lol! I like that one!
I think my Dad would pay give an arm and a leg for one of those.
Could you order him one Paul? He's a postman and is always getting near-misses with stupid owners that think the world of their dumb dogs!
You should hear some of the story's he has. The dog could be fighting its owner to pieces almost in a fit to bite my Dad and the owner just thinks he's excited or over friendly or something madly idiotic like that. He also has terrible problems with owners that don't care a button what their dogs do. I'll tell u one story:
There is one man on his rounds, a doctor in dentistry, (u'd think at that level of academic knowledge he'd have sense), that used to leave his dog outside just to annoy the postman. The dog would be in a terryfying frenzy as soon as my Dad appeared and twice he got loosed from his pathetic leash and has bitten my Dad.
One day my Dad came to deliver the mail and the dog was loose. It went straight for him and the owner who came to his doorway just looked on and watched. My Dad was trapped and to prevent a 3rd bite he used his bicycle as a shield, and when the dog tried to get him he put his bike in the way. Eventually to get away my Dad clipped the dog with the back wheel to try to get him off. The moment he touched the beast and it backed down the owner shouted abuse at my Dad and then raced to his phone to report to the post office manager my Dad's 'cruelty'!!!
(btw My Dad never hurt the dog, he never would do that) I like dogs, but if they are awful ones then I think in 99% of cases it is the owner that is the problem! ::)I believe animals are almost always workable and adorable if treated and handled right.
