You are a City Carrier Assistant delivering on a walking route. As you approach a house, a large unleashed dog runs toward the fence line barking. The gate is unlatched, and the mailbox is at the door.
Which response would be most effective?
A loose dog between you and the door is a reason not to enter the yard. A notice tells the customer why the mail did not arrive, and reporting the dog lets the office ask the owner to keep it restrained. A calm dog can still charge once you are inside the gate. Repellent is for protecting yourself during an attack, not for clearing a path to the door. Handing mail to a neighbor is not an authorized delivery.
