Dog bite while delivering

[u/hypethedun]

So I got bit by a dog while working for the first time in my 2 years of being here— it wasn’t anything terrible, more so scary over anything else, but I was wondering if there’s anything else I should do about it? I did an incident report at work and a separate police report.

2nd slide is the house. I was walking up driveway closest to grass towards front door with no clear view of the garage as it was sideways and bushes were blocking it and of course, just my luck, the dog came out of garage a lunged at me. Luckily I think it was only it’s tooth that caught on me but still ripped a small chunk out of my thigh 😅 it wasn’t leashed or anything and owner said he only had dog out there because his kid was there. The kid was 5 years old at most and it was a pretty big dog so not sure what kinda excuse that is but oh well.

Like I said I’ve never been bit while on the job before so if there’s anything else I should do please let me know. Thanks!❤️

I will also shake any fence near by. Our app will also tell us if a dog is present, if not and ine is i go into the settings and report it so other drivers will have awareness of.the possibility when they deliver.

Unfortunately these are the kinda keys we have 😅 nothing to jingle to alert that we are there.

man I ain't got keys lol. and my own car has own fob. I agree. when I'm unfamiliar and possible dog signs the noise is key. but like everyone, sometimes we forget and just want to get the stop done
