That’s what my “letter carrier” has in her belt. And we sell it at the bike shop where I work.
Dunno, never tried it, I think the bear spray sounds interesting to me.
I have *never* understood why or how people would let their dogs run loose when they *know* the mail is going to come 6 days a week.
I went a step further.
The front yard where the mail lady [and UPS, FedEX, etc] comes in is fenced -off- from the back yard where the dogs are.
Why?
So they don’t get in trouble for obeying their normal, natural instinct to guard my property.
Am I the only person who sees the sense in keeping your dogs and your delivery people’s “worlds” *separate*?
[my mom was a rural delivery carrier for 30+ years...lucky for her, most of it was done from inside her Blazer and the local yokels had brains enough to bring the hounds in around delivery time]
