Posties get dog zapper

Posties are being issued with ultrasonic guns to zap dogs that try to bite them.

The devices - known as Dazers - emit a high-pitched squeal which humans cannot hear but make angry canines back away.

They are made by Peterborough-based Dazer International and, as well as going into service with the Royal Mail, they will be sold to the public through Amazon, price £29.95.

Last night company spokesman Richard Wylie said: "They can be carried in a pocket, or stowed in a pram, and utilised in an emergency."

They issued us with these things years ago - they had absolutely no effect on dogs. :sad:

However I accidently pressed the button in the kitchen while putting it in my pocket and the cat went mental - had to peel her off the ceiling :d'oh!
