Surely some pets are allowed? What about postman pat taking Jess?

I think this idea is quite literally barking mad.

Even the quiet ones can get up to no good. Definitely not recommended. You have to keep your dog under close control at all times in a publc area, and what about walking up paths, that's private land. .. .a whole can of worms.

Personally, I'd be horrified if a postman walked up my drive with a dog.

The person I know does it on a rural duty, pretty sure dog stays in the van most of the time. Scared the s**t out of me when it come up behind me licking my leg in the sorting Office.

I wouldn't even have thought of bringing my dog and putting her through the misery that is my daily experience.

I merely asked the question because a few weeks ago when I started with RM the manager suggested I take her with me.
Then on Saturday I learned via the union rep that it was a sackable offence.

That is the very definition of a mixed message.

On the flip side, if it was a service dog and not a guide, would that make a difference?

My own dog goes nuts just seeing our postie. He'd smash through the window if the postie also had a dog with him.
