The 7 People Your Dog Hates… Probably
Published on May 19, 2014
The garbage man, the mailman, the cleaning person with the terrifying vacuum — chances are, your dog takes a perplexing dislike to some regular visitor. But why? We got inside your canine’s head for this humorous list of the seven people that tend to unnerve dogs.
1. The Mail Carrier
"I don’t trust this guy. He comes to the house every single day but he never brings me any presents. Forget that! Good thing my barking scares him away."
2. The Plumber
"This one’s always tinkering behind my fancy water bowl (the toilet) and underneath the cat’s throne (the kitchen sink). What’s he doing, anyway?"
3. The Garbage Collector
"Thanks to my keen canine hearing, I can sense the big, screechy garbage truck rumbling down the street even before my people do. And don’t even get me started on the recycling truck. Seriously."
4. The Delivery Person
"OK, let’s get this straight. This one has the nerve to walk up the driveway, ring the doorbell — and then not come in to play when my human opens the door?"
5. The Meter Reader
"This one’s always sneaking around outside, thinking I don’t hear him. I suspect he’s in cahoots with the mailman."
6. The Boyfriend
"How dare my human pay attention to another being while in my presence. Move over, buddy. Those snuggles should be mine."
7. The Cleaning Person
"Wait! Is that the closet where they keep the… Runnnnnnnnnnnn!"
