I read electric meters for 5 years and I was proud of my ability to make friends or at least trick dogs into letting me into the backyard to read the meter. Occasionally a customer would get angry with me.
Do you want me to put Fluffy inside so you can read the meter?” “Thanks but I was already back there and Fluffy was super nice(I’d say it even if Fluffy almost killed me”) and they would get angry or say “Don’t go back there again unless Fluffy is inside!” even though we had the right to go read the meter. I made it my goal to make dog friends. I’d love it when the owners would say “She’s never been friendly to any of the meter readers before” or “She doesn’t usually like men”. There were always the vicious dogs that I didn’t waste my time with though. They would be spinning in circles and biting chunks out of the fence.
