Dog people are not always the easiest to deal with. They're onto something when they say it's not about bad dogs, but rather bad owners. Not everybody is the biggest fan of our canine friends, especially if they've got a job to do and the dog in question is a complete unknown. Nonetheless, it doesn't stop some entitled owners and their friends from acting up about it.

This has been underlined in a photo that recently went viral on Twitter. It shows a special request for a delivery person that warns them that the customer's neighbor has a 'friendly' free-roaming boxer who may approach them in their yard. Unsurprisingly, Twitter wasn't impressed with this assumption that someone would be willing to take such a risk for the sake of doing their job. The attitude didn't help, either. Surely, it can't be that difficult to at least install a fence around your property?

    bbbbb bbbbb @brnbne 1d Replying to @airbagged It's a little mind-blowing how many people think "My dog has all of the reasoning and comprehension abilities of a person, and it's able to detect the true nature of any situation and react appropriately."

    Frau Blucher @happyerinb 22h Replying to @airbagged Yeah...hasn't have to deliver to "friendly" dogs before. Ask posties how many times they've been bitten by "friendly" dogs. If you're scared to go pick up your package, maybe you need to stop online shopping

    Jackson Dean Pac... @PacificJD Follow Replying to @airbagged I worked for Amazon. 100% would have reported this customer. If you can't keep your dog inside the house and just let it roam the property, go get your goods from the store People aren't risking serious injury and infection for you to get your little Amazon trinkets.

    N. MALONE MONCH AUSDR N. Malone | Lost S... @NMalone8 Follow Replying to @airbagged It's not a delivery person's job to figure out if your dog is friendly or not. Dogs can behave differently when alone and faced with a stranger on their territory. And if the dog does bite, it will often be put down, which isn't the dogs fault. It's just doing what it's bred to do.

    Ghost @ghostnotommy. 18h Replying to @airbagged Ain't no way I'm making that delivery. People expect an animal to be friendly with every stranger they encounter when they themselves not even that friendly.

    Matt Ferrante @ferrants - 16h Replying to @airbagged My dogs are friendly but I never put someone in a position to have to interact with them. That's cruel and puts the dog and person in danger. Also, most people's dogs are not that friendly.

    ZEAL@outlookpark 15h you have no idea what a dog is capable of when it feels stressed or cornered, and sometimes they do not give warning signs.
