CLARKSBURG, W.Va. -- Cozmo the Jack Russell terrier has done what neither rain, sleet nor the gloom of night has been able to do -- keep postal carriers in Clarksburg from their appointed rounds.
Postal Service spokeswoman Cathy Yarosky says mail delivery to seven homes on Milford Street was halted because of the 20-pound terrier.
She said a carrier was injured after falling while trying to run away from Cozmo.
Cozmo's owners Jimmy and Justine Marino, say the dog has never bitten anyone. But they acknowledged he has gotten out of the yard a few times.
The Marinos have been told mail delivery won't resume until they get rid of the dog. Jimmy Marino says efforts to find a new home for Cozmo have been unsuccessful.
Super duper fucking huge ass WTF????????
I get that a carrier was injured trying to escape the rabid maneating beast dog, but they have to get RID of the dog? What about, yanno, not leaving the dog outside untethered/supervised? If the dog gets out again, then issue some sort of fine perhaps, but who the eff are they to tell someone they have to get RID OF THEIR DOG?
It's a 20 lb terrier for fucks sake, not an Irish Wolfhound! Bop him once with the mailbag and be on your way.
I'd love for someone to tell me that I had to get rid of my pet for that reason. Once I was done laughing (assuming I could stop) I would invite them to make me.
