Put on a disguise if anyone comes knocking and tell them that there were squatters here on the day in question but they have since left and took their dog with them.
Plan B, shut off the lights and hide in the closet whenever anyone comes knocking. |

You'll probably get a text for all future deliveries saying something like "An Amazon driver needs your help with a delivery. Please secure your pets."
My prediction is that nothing legal will come of it and the Angus peppering can be postponed. |

You are on this awesome website so I assume you have the wherewithal to put yourself in the delivery persons shoes. They go through this crap all day and then a dog bites them and they get to go home bloody. That's just kind of how it looks man. And it sounds like a s***** job. I would never do it lol. Hopefully you will squeak by and nothing will happen to the handsome pup. But the fact is that it bit somebody and that's not cool. Unless they were trying to take your stuff or something. And then how can a stupid handsome dog delineate between somebody giving you stuff and taking your stuff lol. It's a s*** show brother. I wish you the best. |

We put a box outside our gate so no delivery driver has to go in our yard ever. More than one delivery driver has commented about how nice it is not to have to go in a yard with a dog. I built it too deep though and ammo shipments are a pain in the ass to get out of it. I may need a false bottom in it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ske714: Originally Posted By Gulftanker: The facts: We do have a Beware of the Dog sign on the fence next to the gate. So you acknowledge that your dog is dangerous, and that you were aware of it? "Beware of dog" doesn't imply the dog is dangerous, it is a warning and caution to people, to a possible dangerous situation. Most dogs are nice, but if you step into their yard as a stranger, they will typically react. Many dogs will bark aggressively, or move towards a stranger. Most dogs are all bark, no bite, but the warning is the same... not that the dog is knowingly dangerous, but that any stranger walking into a gated yard that has a dog should be warned, hence, "Beware of dog". |

Okay. What I would do at this point is go get a stray dog from the Stray Dog place. Take your real dog over to your sister's house for a week or two and wait for them to come and murder your newly acquired stray dog.

Who knows, Amazon is weird to deal with.. They gave us $500 to fix the grass when their driver buried his truck up to the axles trying to turn around in our front yard. Almost no questions asked, just had to fill out a complaint form.
I would keep an eye on your mailbox and emailbox, see if you hear anything from them. There's a good chance you will never hear anything, but if you do, don't be surprised. I wouldn't worry too much about animal control, they will probably just want to know if your dog had it's shots, and the only way they would find out is if dude goes to the hospital ER and they report the dog bite, probably won't happen if he goes to a doc in a box. If you get a letter, seek consultation with a lawyer, and whatever you do, try to keep your homeowners insurance the fuck out of the situation... that will only cost you money and headache. Finally, not trying to be a dick, but you have a dog that has husky in is blood, why in the blue fuck would you leave the front door open? (Don't answer that, its rhetorical question, just something to think about) |

Do you want the real answer? If the driver reports it, which he may not because at the end of the day all he wants is to fucking go home and not fuck around with paperwork, then a notation will be made that will pop up on all future deliveries warning of a dangerous dog. Drivers will start leaving packages outside your gate. The very worst case is that Amazon will cease all future deliveries to your address and you will be forced to use an Amazon drop box at your local convenience store.

When we get bit at work we generally tell the supervisor and he makes contact with the owners, sees what vet they use, and then contacts them to make sure they're up to date on shots. That's as far as it's gone for me. Occasionally someone will go to doc if it's really bad and work pays for it. I've never heard of the owners having to be financially responsible for the company I work at.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gspointer: I’m not sure the beware of dog sign will be helpful. I would expect you to be liable for medical costs and lost time at work Yep. Your dog, your yard, your scheduled delivery, your problem. Hope it doesn’t cost you too much in attorney fees and settlement, but having a dog that bites anyone that comes in the yard is about as dumb as setting up a robogun sentry. And I say that as a dog owner. They aren’t humans, it isn’t “their” yard. It’s your yard and you’re about to get a valuable lesson in how much liablility there is in keeping animals that attack humans on sight. Not trying to be edgy, but this is what it really boils down to. |

In CO, he’ll likely go to the hospital or other clinic for care, medical staff in our state are required by law to report the bite to LE. It’ll be up to the delivery driver if he wants to pursue ownership of a dangerous dog charges, which he likely won’t. You will be expected to quarantine the dog for 10 days after the bite. That can generally happen at your house but some jurisdictions may take the dog to a holding facility

Neighbor had the exact same thing happen with the Amazon guy. Usually pretty well behaved dog bit onto the guy's arm and let go but enough for it to bleed.
Said he'd need to do paperwork and everything else was ok. Neighbors never heard a thing from the driver, Amazon or anyone about it ever again. If you do, don't admit to shit and even take this post down. Let your insurance handle it all. Worse case they drop you and you shop for new insurance. To be on the safe side, I would not under any circumstances allow your dog to play/be outside by himself at all for quite some time. First to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. Second, just to make sure someone isn't called to make a visit and you find out as they are taking the dog. |
