Postmen all around the world share certain things in common: the need to get up very early in the morning, the need to be fit enough to do physical job, and the need to know a little about dogs.
This Australian postman knows more about the individual dogs on his route than even their owners. And this video shows him telling us all about them.
This is all pretty eye-opening. It shows how dogs can range from overly-friendly to horribly aggressive, and how treats can be used to effectively shut a dog up.
While this postie is affable all the way through the video, he ends it with a well-aimed retort to anyone who accuses postmen of not liking dogs.
