Making a mistake doesn’t justify a dumb decision by the mailman.
Things happen in life. People can exercise common sense.

Thanks, mailmen have a tough job. They need as much empathy as they can get.

I'm thinking of setting up a trap when he opens the mailbox it sprays out.

As a mailman I can say we are trained to spray any dog that comes at us.

No dog bite is okay. Look, if it were my dog I'd say pepper spay is justified

If dogs are under control, there is never any decision the mailman has to make.

The problem I have the most is when I knock on a door and a kid answers and the dog runs out from behind them.

He shouldn't have to run away from the dog either. (Or walk fastly)

I feel for mailmen. Door to door salesmen deserve to get bitten.
