This is a complete outrage! A real attack should be the result of an animal being considered vicious! Not someone who is just afraid of dogs or a particular , highly misunderstood breed! ! its disgusting how the postal worker's word is taken as being truthful, and the complete story, but the rest of the neighbors that have nothing but great things to say about Buster is just swept under the rug. In this particular case, more good things have been said about Buster then bad...but as a negatively driven society, that's all that becomes the main focus! As someone that knows the owner and the dog, the postal workers description of Buster is so far from the truth! He is kind, loving, and just an excited, happy dog! I've seen him interact with people of all ages...including children! Not once showing an aggressive act! This animal's behavior and personality is a result of the wonderful family he lives with...there is nothing but love in that household! ! ! I'm sure if a different breed reacted and interacted with the same postal worker, in the exact same way, this wouldn't even be an issue! ! I'm hoping Buster comes out on top...and that the postal worker is able to live with himself if the consequences for buster end up being another heart breaking case!
