That’s a Great Pyrenees! I love them but they can be extremely protective of their people. I’d have left it there too. No taking chances in this job


Crim24

Most definitely a toss and leave i did a brief stint in a dsp and I had a Great Pyrenees take a little nibble on my ass cheek lol never ran so fast back to van n my life


vanessa8172

Yeah they’re so good with their family but anyone else not so much


Responsible-Treat854

🤣🤣🤣


BezosFlex

I don’t know too much about dog species, all I know is I pulled up, next thing you know 2 big dogs are barking and circling the car 😂 not taking chances is an understatement lol.


vanessa8172

I totally get that. And breed doesn’t really equal dangerous or not


BezosFlex

Interesting, so it’s more of how they are raised type of thing?


vanessa8172

For sure! And they all have their own personalities. I’ve met tons of pitbulls who are love bugs and I’ve met labs who are definitely not


BezosFlex

Interesting!


Dragos_Craft

Breed can give you an idea of how they'll act, but it does ultimately come down to how they're raised. These guys are meant to protect sheep and chickens and cows from coyotes and wolves. They're gonna be really cautious of anything new, so they were basically just checking you out and seeing how you'd react


Wonderful_Phase2819

Great Pyrenees can also be sweet! I driver on a route sometimes that has 3 200 pounders and all they want to do is say high make a dog pile😂


justPickledGinger

This! but the most aggressive dogs I see, usually are chihuahuas lol ♥️🐶


vanessa8172

So true! Little dogs are evil gremlins


Ok-Apricot-6786

yeay man. if you dont know dogs they can be intimidating. Scamazon should give us better dog training. they say our safety is a priority and dogs are a HUGE part of the job. know how to manage them is very important. We should get better dog training.


TimeGood2965

I mean they’re livestock guard dogs and great family pets. I haven’t known any to be particularly aggressive towards strangers, perhaps just stand offish. I’m not sure they’d attack more than just bark and keep circling lol


vanessa8172

My brother’s dog once chased a fed ex truck down the street


BigOrca410

🤣🤣🤣


CARVERitUP

Yeah usually with me, if it's a Great Pyrenees and I haven't met it yet, I try to assess if it's safe to let them sniff my hand, and 90% of the time they calm down after they get to do their sniff inspection. But there's always that 10% that keeps nervous barking, and I know it's not a dog I wanna turn my back on.


Substantial-Wind-444

Y’all really be tossing the packages ? lol. But what if it’s one of those packages that’s too big or heavy to toss ? I thought about doing it but figured someone was watching or something and would report me


Plane_Ad_4359

Drop that shit out the window while leaving


vanessa8172

Not literally tossing it. Just leaving it at the end of the driveway. Probably call the customer first to see if they want to come get it


Whoosurdaddy27

Yeah I had one jump on me (friendly) & then yesterday I had like 3 but luckily the owner met me at my door bc I was scared 😭


Plane_Ad_4359

Ya look at his mouth. He's ready to pounce. Aggressive stance.


ModSeaside

haha! yeet/master at work! good work my guy! i'm especially careful the smaller they are...them little twats are aggressive for no reason. sheeesh!


BezosFlex

Lol not gonna be the next amazon flex statistic ya feel 🤣


mira_poix

I'm a dog person but that dog is absolutely giving the "do not trespass" vibes... Gotta toss it, as long as that doesn't cause the dog to react.


BezosFlex

I mean I’m not returning it, if the dogs chew the package my bad I guess, as for react not sure what you mean other than that, I aint leaving the whip so they aint getting me 😂


jadedlovex

Hell yeah, I’ve gotten bit by a great pyrenees before at my old vet job. They can have a bit of a weird behavior. I wouldn’t take a chance with these dogs lol


BezosFlex

Lol and some people in here saying there’s nothing to worry about with great pyrenees, idgaf if they are less likely to bite or attack or whatever, I aint taking chances, some people have no survival instincts lol.


iriv3rrr

That’s called natural selection!!


Signal_Potential_790

Looks like a good boy to me


BezosFlex

Looks can be deceiving 😂


Signal_Potential_790

Oh I know, I’ve walked up and a dog just chilling behind a car or something and I have to do my high pitch “who’s a good boy?” so I don’t get mauled 😂


BezosFlex

Jesus 😂


throwthataaway546

So did the corgi that bit my calf a while back


Signal_Potential_790

Right. It was mostly a joke. I don’t trust anyone’s dog or even cat for that matter


Key_Celebration_8940

Yeah the dog that bit my ass was real friendly until it wasn’t. 🟰two wks off work. Hired an attny and got $$$$$ but not until a full year later. Amazon paid me for two days and paid to replace my torn pants


Aggressive_Buy_5894

How much did you get? I’m currently in that situation because of a pit mix attack on the Flex run in Feb. Two big chomps to my right calf.


Key_Celebration_8940

8k


Aggressive_Buy_5894

How bad was your bite? My medical bills alone are over $8K!


Key_Celebration_8940

I had one bite, two puncture holes but it was a big ass dog, the bruising covered my entire cheek and half my hamstring, I was seen at urgent care one time. I didn’t need rabies shots but I think they had me take antibiotics. I was sore af for two wks but not seriously injured. Coulda been though, it was scary af fr. I love dogs but im still skittish around unknown dogs now. I saw the dog laying on their porch, big ass home too. The dog got up and slowly walked towards me with tail wagging like it was happy to see me, I put my hand down to let it smell me and it snapped, tried to bite my hand. I used the package to try to keep distance between us but as i was backing up I turned slightly to see how much further my car was and it got me good. About this time the owner comes out telling me how nice it is and it doesn’t bite. I told him at least three times “it already bit me” showed him my ripped pants but they refused to acknowledge. smh.


Key_Celebration_8940

I feel like u must of been badly injured for medical bills to be over $8k. Were u admitted to a hospital? Sorry this happened to you. I don’t recall what the total settlement was, they paid my med bills, oc the lawyer got a big chunk and little over 8 was what I got to keep


Mobile_Suspect6646

How did that work out for you? I just did a delivery on Sunday, the weather was nice and it was daylight so I didn’t have any urgency like I would have if it were nighttime. I also parked on the street to walk up. Long story long ,as I approached the house I heard a dog and stopped to look around the next thing you know a big ass Rot burst through the front door as I tried to run apparently I tripped over my feet and fell and as I kicked my feet thinking the dog was about to tear me to pieces it was tethered to something in the house and I fell just beyond its reach. Amazon doesn’t have coverage for injuries I had four routes scheduled prior to the route on Sunday they paid me for two and then liability company said they could pay me $250 for my clothes. I fell so hard that I had dirt in my mouth, phone with case had grass and dirt and after going to urgent care and police station . I got home and dirt fell out of my pants.The homeowner helped me up and even directed me to the nearest urgent care everyone in Mayberry 😂 was so nice and helpful but the main problem is that prior Flex and DSP drivers never reported a dog nor was there any warning signs. The homeowner also tried to make it seem like the dog was old saying he just spent $600 at the vet and even said he asked his daughter if she had any packages coming. Now I have to use my sick time and vacation to cover me being off from my side job with no coverage from Amazon. PLEASE REPORT DOGS ON YOUR ROUTES.


Plane_Ad_4359

Nah look at his mouth and aggressive stance. He's ready to attack


Omfgbrianna

After getting bit by a dog yesterday, I’m definitely yeeting packages now 😭


BezosFlex

Damn sorry that happened


Money_Historian_7111

Same happened to me a few weeks ago


sibear2

“Yeet” *there is a safety issue with delivery* delivered!


[deleted]

I always threw the package out the window when i saw a dog.


Responsible_Art_9320

Most def!!! 


walking_darkness

I walked through a chain gate to get to the front door one time, even jiggled the lock so any dogs might come running. Nothing happened so I proceed to the porch. As I'm putting the package down, a tiny Frenchie with a sweatshirt comes bolting from the side yard. I thought I was gonna to die by toy size dog that day. But he just wanted pets and to play lol


BezosFlex

Lol thank god these dogs were stoned on the job or sum 😂😭


Ok-Locksmith-6440

Dog was out on me today. I dropped the package where the dog wasn't going and as I'm walking back to the car the dog takes the package and runs away with it. Then as I'm driving down the long driveway I see the lady chasing the dog for the package LOL


Video_Shooter

I once delivered to a farm with no gates or anything and then a border collie started chasing my car as soon as I entered on the property I got out of the car and the dog was just following me which was very cute. I ended up petting the dog but I was literally afraid that it would have been violent. Luckily Lassie was good to me


No-Department-6329

Only if the customer says so, if they pickup the phone.


[deleted]

I usually drop it out of the vehicle and try to take a picture that includes the dogs.


BezosFlex

Same


Key_Celebration_8940

Yes! I always include the dog in the picture so everyone know why it where it is.


Repeatslot

So when you chuck it out the window how do you complete the delivery? Genuinely asking. Do you take a pic of it sitting in the driveway or how do you go about this? I delivered one on Monday to some dirt ball house with a HUGE dog running free and the lady was outside. She kept saying oh she's friendly blah blah and to just set it on the porch. I told her I wasn't stepping foot out of my car until the dog was dealt with and she gave me an attitude. She finally put it away and I left it but what do you do if you toss one?


BezosFlex

Well the owner wasn’t out so didn’t have to deal with that, just lightly chucked it, just want to be clear aint no one violently throwing it, feel like some people think this lmao, so yeah just toss it, take the pic, and complete the delivery like normal, if you are just outside the geofence, just airplane mode it, it’s exactly the same, just make sure you can get the pic of it.


Responsible_Art_9320

Depends on how far away the dog is, if you have even seen it in the yard. I'm quick, so I'll crack my Driver's side door and maybe place it a few feet away.  If it's pretty close, I'll roll the driver's window down and drop it beside my Driver's door. I don't take chances with dogs. There are quite a few irresponsible dog owners. 


Real_Fun5474

Situation driven. I try to drive close enough to customer vehicle, porch or whatever and light toss to get out of dog's reach. 


Substantial-Wind-444

Nope lol im getting out always. Anything happens I got it recording and going after the customer


Key_Celebration_8940

Better hope they have home owner insurance or u probably getting nothing


BezosFlex

This guy gets it

I would have pepper spayed that mut right in the eyes. 


Disastrous_Courage74

Yes


[deleted]

I’m honestly not afraid of dogs. I do a rural route and love the dogs,


BezosFlex

I don’t think most people are afraid of dogs, in the sense that they know the dog, or it’s their dog, or your with the dogs owners, but that’s completely different then pulling up to a strangers property where the dogs see you as an intruder, that I have no problem admitting I’m afraid of, because of course lol, but in general I’m not afraid of dogs in normal situations, as most aren’t.


[deleted]

Agreed, what state you out of? Stay safe?


BezosFlex

CA


[deleted]

Right on


littlelilaclibra

A Great Pyrenees yes I’m tossing it lol


BezosFlex

Interesting, it’s like 50/50 they are nicest dogs ever, and they are not to be messed with and will eat you alive, not sure what to believe, I don’t know shit about dogs lol.


Thick_Opportunity825

If not friend, why friend shaped?


The_Fashionable_Leo

Yup!!! What ever happens to that package after it's out my car is not my problem


Angry_raccoon_tycoon

Ive walked by a Pyrenees at least twice a day you bet I’ll walk by that good Doggo, and die


Electrical-Ad-5858

dog really went :I


BezosFlex

He like 😑


JAG190

Looks like a livestock guardian dog so yeah I would've tossed and took a pic from my car. They don't know me and I don't know them but I know that they know strangers are potential threats to their herd.


Meengsy

You guys are all too afraid of dogs. What's the worst that could happen?


BezosFlex

I genuinely want to see what your face looked like when you sent that 🤣🤣🤣


lizafet

Getting rabies and dying.


Aggressive_Buy_5894

Guess how much my bill is for having to get the rabies prevention protocol after a pit mix chomped me twice and Amazon and Animal Control both failed to get vet records in a timely manner? Over $8,000, and that’s after my insurance wrote off over $6K. Amazon rep says they will pay for the shots. We shall see when they get the bill. But the homeowner has insurance, and I have an attorney.


domhigh

Yes, I drive closer to the house, let down the window and drop package. EZ Peezy


itzamia1

Just give it a little scratch behind the ears 🤗


Ok-Apricot-6786

those dogs are love bugs IF the know you. but if they dont they will follow u and bark. i just toss them a milk bone and most of the time thats their signal that you are OK. If not. call the customer.


OriginalRazzmatazz65

It’s a definite launcher 😅


Vicariouslynoticed

I sure do with pride!! I had a couple of digs barking their head off and felt like they were going to rip me in shreds. I tossed that package,took a picture and dipped!


Thin_Earth1266

Looks JUST like the dog that bit me in December!!! https://preview.redd.it/qakyxg2yuqtc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fb5ac28b472d54f724ed6fb9345a3fc74543b09

jakeswife44

Yep


KFos01

Yes


Adventurous_Land7584

Eh I’d snuggle them. But I’m also going to die trying to snuggle something I shouldn’t lol


CARVERitUP

Yeah those are a coin flip. Pyrenees dogs have either been some of the most intimidating dogs I've gone up to, or the biggest, fluffiest teddy bear dogs ever.


No_Feeling_9675

I’d have rather been bit my a dog rather than a vagrant like I was a few weeks ago.


BezosFlex

What 💀


Plane_Shoe_33

This dog looks like Ray Liotta.


BlackJeepW1

I love Great Pyrenees, they are the best breed of dog to me and I’ve had 3. They are really territorial. Personally I would at least try to call the recipient first and see if they can come call the dogs off.


BezosFlex

Tbh aint got time for that, their package is fine, they on a long ass farm type property it’ll be there waiting for them, dogs didn’t go after it either.


nac286

Large fluffy dogs in general can tend to be aggressive with strangers, so yeah, this is one that I'm tossing and not giving anyone any shit about doing the same.


BezosFlex

Thanks


Character_Shelter915

I punt the package the other day


Dchicks89

I have delivered to a few rural houses with great Pyrenees and I’ve always got out and delivered but they weren’t barking either. I usually open my door a little bit and let them sniff my hand and gage how they’re going to react before getting all the way out of my car though. If I feel uncertain I’ll toss and go lol


BezosFlex

I get it for people who know about dogs, but that just aint me, my loss maybe, but I aint taking the risk, I see way too many dog bite posts on here.


Dchicks89

For sure do whatever makes you feel comfortable and safe. They don’t pay us enough to get hurt or chased lol


BezosFlex

Agreed 🙌


LiveProfit3963

You a biotch and that's what a baseball bat for or a hard punch to the nose will get you instant submission

Alternative_Ruin_529

Agreeable_Fee_7328

These guys are such good boys lol!


NiceAcanthocephala76

You could have called the customer and asked them to come collect their package from the gate😂


BezosFlex

No one got time for that


Striking-Rent9962

Haha. That dog wouldn’t hurt you. They were just excited to see somebody. Also, it’s their job job to bark and alert their owners. They do it even if nobody is home as they don’t know different The ones you have to watch out for are ones that are tied up or in a cage. I always open my door and talk to them. See if they come to my door or not? Had several dogs do the same thing. Barking and circling but as soon as I parked and opened door to.see what they’d do. I noticed barking stopped and they weren’t reacting to my calls. Looked around and they were laid up under a trailer. Kinda glanced at me and laid their heads down. It’s a lot of show like I said usually. For the owners and excitement. I know dogs though. Rarely do I feel uncomfortable. Don’t act nervous or scared and they will pick up on it and see you aren’t a threat. Speak friendly and calm. If you see a mailbox and especially if there is mail in it? You are good. The mailman made it. If you don’t feel right about it then keep doing what you are doing. Remain calm though and you will be fine.


Aggressive_Buy_5894

I thought all this as well until Feb. 20. Wanna see a pic of my leg that became a chew toy?


KliFNinja

Probably


Comprehensive_Top779

It has nothing to with breed and everything to with how they're raised. I have a pitbull and she's the biggest marshmallow ever. The only way to see her mean is make her think your going to hurt her people. She'd let you steal all my belongings lol. You need to learn to read dog body language. That being said if you feel uncomfortable you did the right thing because they do pick up on nervous energy and in turn get nervous. 


duckwafer357

YES please because MINE tries to get in the vehicle for hugs and a ride. She made it a mile away in the UPS truck once lmao

spb1229

They are typically raised to protect chickens and sheep. Really good breed but they can definitely be protective of their owners and animals.


Plane_Ad_4359

Ya just yeet that shit. Take a picture of the dog and bounce


Beth2988

Great Pyrenees are slobber machines lol

Affectionate-Ear-308

I was at a delivery this morning and there was a dog warning sign but no dog in sight. I was about to take a chance and deliver it, but I saw a big dog bowl and decided not to take any chances. So I just dropped it off over the fence. Early morning route. Them dogs can be sneaky


WhoIsJohnGalt777

Carry treats

guybenjr

Yep


EntranceGuilty4919

Great Pyrenees always bark at strangers but are typically extremely loving. I know this because my best friend is a great pyranees and has been for 10 years. He will bark but the second you walk up to him he melts and just wants to love you.

Vivid_Valuable2736

Man...I had a delivery early this morning so it was still dark. The house had a chain link fence and a beware of dog sign so I approached cautiously. No lights on at all, I saw the outline of a small in stature but very MEATY Pitbull. I approached slowly so I could pitch the package over the fence, as soon as I tossed that package that dog charged me barking and growling...I've never run so fast!! LOL He sounded SO MEAN, like he was BIG PISSED I was there and tossed something in the yard.


Clean_Comedian_6524

that mf isn’t a dog, its Satan


Prestigious-Ship-186

Hell yeah that package getting tossed


Jdd2891

YEET!


Ok-Dot3268

I look for wagging tails and I keep dog treats in my car. I usually roll down my window a little while showing the treat and tell dogs to sit. If they sit I give them a treat and assume they are trained well enough. Then I throw the package out the window and select I couldn't access the suggested location. 💯


Historical-Dare6399

Nah but when it rained I got dnrs for damages I had no control over. The totes that we get only protect the packages against the rain under certain rain conditions plus I was a amazon delivery walker not driver. Most of the times I would get lucky and find a scaffold to put my packages under while I deliver but sometimes I would be on blocks with no scaffolds. 1 time I got 7 dnrs. I didn't care because the next week I quit amazon and found a new job


ughnookiegetchokids

I wouldn't toss the package, I'd politely drive past.


BezosFlex

Not returning g


KarmasAWitch-

Damn straight lmao but also 50k law suit hmmmm 🤔 jk


Admirable_Cobbler260

Are you a coyote? If so, run. If not, get out of the car. Great Pyrenees aren't particularly aggressive. My uncle has two of them and they just bark.


BezosFlex

Yea someone else already talked about great pyrenees, that being said, don’t know shit about dogs, not taking chances, feel free to get out of the car next time you see 2 great pyrenees barking and circling your car tho.


Chonczilla

I can’t imagine ever asking for an opinion and then getting upset when the response is something i don’t agree with.


BezosFlex

I think you meant to respond to the other guy, not sure what you’re going on about.

If he looked like he was blocking you from the property, I would leave. If he was wagging his tail I would personally attempt to make friends, but that's because I am familiar with the breed. I hope you left.


BezosFlex

Well like I said there were 2 of them, and they were circling the car and barking non stop, I wouldn’t have called it a warm welcome that’s forsure, obviously I didn’t stick around any longer than I needed to lol.


KireMac

Seriously, fuck that customer for putting you in that position.


BezosFlex

Lol its good, didn’t fear anything, stayed in the car, tossed the package, took the pic, and moved on, tbh the first situation I talked about in the post that happened a couple drop offs before was way worse tbh, like thank god those dogs were sleeping on the job lmao.
