Me again, the bull story was probably just a story. I don't like being a door knocker because of the fear of doing more harm than good (and rejection, too) but also because of dogs inside. I've gotta eat, so in order to bring home grocery money I deliver mail and hate it when I have something to be signed for or too large for the box and first thing I hear when I knock or ring is the loud voice (be it barking or growling) of a dog inside. I've been attacked by a 'Pit' a 'Rotweiller' and once by a very large 'Great Dane' Fortunately in one of these cases the animal wasn't interested in lunch or was disciplined enough that he stopped at his master's first command. I did have to fight the 'pit' though.
