    I had a mini schnauzer who liked to bark (aka, couldn’t help himself… he tried his best though, he was a darn good boy). But the mailman was, by far, his favorite to bork at through the window

    My boy got out the front door one day (cold weather would cause the door to not latch properly) and ran across a busy street

    The mailman was driving by, pulled over, grabbed him out from the middle of the road, and knocked on my door to bring him back (he recognized my dog from the window). I woke up to the knocking, bleary-eyed and confused, trying to figure out why my dog was being delivered to me. It took a second to put the pieces together, but I’ve never been so thankful… it was a very busy road and could have been tragic

    My dog still barked through the window at this guy, as much as ever… but it was definitely now absolutely, his favorite “stranger” to bark at. That dog loved mail-time forever more lol
