Everyone knew everyone else, and all were friendly with the letter carrier. She was a dog-lover and carried dog treats with her, and gave them out on her rounds. The dogs in the neighborhood knew that the mail truck meant SNACKS and would get very excited and go to greet it. Usually, when she went on vacation, her route was covered by another dog-lover, who knew what to do. But one year....<br /><br />Someone who was afraid of dogs took over her route when she went on vacation. He had a melt down when the first dog came running to greet him in all its canine joy and exuberance. For the duration of the regular carrier's vacation, no dog owner received mail.
