Dogs Trap Mail Carrier, Flatten Tires

HANOVER, Pa. (AP) ― A mail carrier was trapped inside her car for nearly two hours at a home near Hanover after a pair of dogs attacked her tires, flattening three of them.

Robin Barton had to summon help by cell phone on Wednesday. When the police arrived, the dogs attacked the cruiser's tire as well.

Authorities were preparing to tranquilize the dogs Judge and Justice, a Rottweiler and a pit-bull mix, before the surprised and apologetic homeowner arrived.

Stephanie Dekelbaum, the dogs' owner, called them "generally sweethearts" and blamed the attack on a tire toy the dogs had recently been given.

So they didn’t take the dogs away? Wow. I hope her insurance agent sees this press coverage and dumps her homeowners. What an idiot.

She ‘tries’ to lead them into her home. She is not the alpha there...and they are some big dogs that she doesn’t seem to be able to control.

I wouldn’t dare let my dogs near my psycho-postal worker.
She flies down our lane like it’s a stock car dirt track race.

She nearly hit *me*, once.

Your sorrowful post misses the point entirely, just as your freeper handle suggests.

In the larger scheme of things what is a mail carrier, or a child or two? They are but a small price to pay for the hours of pleasure these affectionate beasts give to their loving owners, who may not be able to relate to members of their own species.

Dogs and owner look rather indiscriminately bred, which gives them more in common. BTW, who pays for the tires?

Newman: I see many dogs on my mail route. I’ll bet there’s not one type of mutt or mongrel I haven’t run across.

Newman: If you ask me, they have no business living amongst us. Vile, USELESS BEASTS . . .

Kramer: Newman: ! Stop it!!

Newman: Anyway.

Elaine: Yeah. Well um, I was just curious if I were interested in availing myself of your services, um, what exactly would you do?

Newman: Well, Elaine:, There’s any number of things I could do. But, I can promise you this, though, this vicious beast will never bother you again.
