My dog bit ups man

[Anonymous]

I have a sweet rescue boarder collie. She’s the most loving family dog but is Also very protective over people she loves. She loves women and men once she gets to know them but has always been protective and barked at men when they approach me quickly from behind. So I’m out walking with her and I see the ups man coming And head home to wait for my packages ... I have her leashed up in the garage our garage is open and I am holding her. He decided to come into our garage and Set the packages down. I didn’t expect it I thought he was headed to our door. She went crazy barking and nipped at him he then said something to me which I couldn’t hear and walked away.... I am super nervous now....what if he files a report..

Your collie is not that sweet, and is not the most loving family dog. The fact that you say this makes me think your dog didn't "nip" the delivery man, but bit him.

The fact that you just let him walk away without checking if he was alright or needed your dog's vaccination records is disgusting. I hope he DOES file a report.

All of this! I hope your homeowners' know about your sweet rescue because you might have to file a claim. Also, I would have checked on the men and offered to pay for any medical bills instead of pretending nothing happened.

You must hate your life to be so negative yes, it was just a nip sweetie save your little accusations. he was a grown man he is just fine, he shouldn’t have just charged into my garage. second you don’t know my dog so before you make assumptions you should check yourself.

He probably will file a report, workers comp at the least, because he is going to need a rabies shot for sure.

Did you ask him if he was okay, OP?

It was a nip. I apologized and I was still talking when he walked away...he was on his way out he was in a hurry. The ups man SHOULD NOT HAVE entered my garage without asking. She’s 35 pounds not some pit bull.

Here's what would happen in my company - and we have had dog bites, so I know this. Our employee would be required to file a workers' compensation claim. As part of the claim, our employee would be required to complete an incident report and to identify the exact location where the injury occurred. The dog bite likely would be reported to the authorities - our employees tend to call in from the location and then our dispatch sends the police to investigate. In the event that our employee needs medical care or loses time for the injury and we have to pay benefits, we would pursue the dog owner to recover all of our costs - we would use a private investigator to identify the dog owner. If the dog owner pays voluntarily, we would accept payment from them, if not, we would sue. One of the problems with dog bites is that employees sometimes require psychiatric care.

OK, save with for an answer to the complaint after you get sued.

Your dog is the opposite of "sweet" OP. Let me guess, you think your dog's "nip" is also just him being friendly?

Sorry Op. You are on the hook for this one.

What’s a nip? I am not being a jerk. I am curious.

+1. I used to be an insurance agent. Every single dog bite claim we got, the owner would say the same thing: "Our dog is the sweetest, most loving family pet! [the victim] just surprised her when they walked into our kitchen/ shouldn't have been jogging on the sidewalk by our house/ shouldn't have let her jump up/ should have crossed the street with their toddler when they saw us approaching!" We handled thousands of dog bite claims per year, and the story was always the same. We'd also get owners who were upset that the mailman or delivery guy maced their dog after it bit. The claims investigators had a field day whenever that happened.

OP, have your dog's vaccination records and property insurance policy handy. You'll probably need both.
