Totally unnecessary.

the driver soft-talked the dog so he would get close enough to mace him driver needs to get the brakes beat off of him

The dog literally didn’t do anything aggressive… it was wagging its tail and probably just looking for head scratches and nose boops…

The dog's tail wagged, and his head was low. No growling. This dipshit didn't need to spray at all. I would've done the same but worse because my dog is my family.

Fuck that- that driver totally suckered that dog with the way he spoke to it right before he sprayed. He deserved to be laid out flat.

That dog was wagging its tail. No need to pepper spray him. Funny altercation though. LOL

He would not walk away if he sprayed my dog. His next stop would be an ER then a dentist.

As a retired UPS driver I can empathize with the driver. That homeowner was in the wrong.

I fucking dare you to pepper spray my dog on my property 😂😂😂😂 you will be incorporated in to kibble and be passing through his lower intestine before he shits you out again. Have a nice day.

He tried greeting the dog nicely. Dog growled. What was he supposed to do, let it bite him? Homeowner at fault.

The incident occurred in late September 2025 in Midwest City, Oklahoma, where Ring camera footage showed an Amazon delivery driver luring a friendly dog (tail wagging, no visible aggression) closer before pepper-spraying it directly in the face. The homeowner, who had been watching, immediately confronted the driver and slapped him across the face in response. Police were called and reviewed the footage. Reports indicate they sided with the homeowner, determining the slap was justified given the circumstances (including the driver pre-emptively holding the spray and the deceptive approach to the dog). No charges were filed against the owner for the slap, and the owner later described the outcome as giving them a “good feeling.” There is no public record of any criminal charges, arrest, or lawsuit against the Amazon driver in connection with this specific event. Amazon stated they contacted the customer directly to address the situation, but no further details on the driver's employment status or any internal disciplinary action were released publicly. The video went viral on X and other platforms, sparking heated debate—most commenters condemned the driver's actions as unnecessary and cruel (especially since the package was already delivered and the dog wasn't charging), while a smaller group defended it as a precaution against potential bites from loose dogs during deliveries. No major follow-up developments (like firings confirmed in news or legal proceedings) appear to have emerged since late 2025.

@GodWins4u I’d break your F’n face if you pepper sprayed my dog.

If he was that scared he could’ve yelled out the window for the owner to come and grab it… Or if the dog bites you get a nice hefty insurance payout. Former Amazon driver, that dog just wanted some pets, and a treat.

Ida beat the brakes off bro because I’ve been pepper sprayed so I can only imagine how intense it is for a fucking dog.

do that shit to my dog and i WILL go to jail.....

The dog didn't run up on him. He was wagging his tail! He could have asked the homeowner to get the dog. He FAFO! I would have done the same. Can't believe folks are siding with the driver. SMH.

Would've headbutt him on the spot. That dog was friendly and the guy knew that, he just sprayed the poor animal for the sake of it. the owner needs to kick his ass big time.

Amazon driver should have maced him too. People and their insistence that their dog didnt do shit drive me crazy.

Right? It should have been a punch. Slapping is so girlie.

I’m kinda torn, that dog was not displaying friendly body language but he probably mirrors the owner who is also aggressive. I also don’t want to see my dogs get sprayed at all.

He deserved worse. Did @amazon fire this garbage human?

Dog did not look/sound the least bit threatening. I suppose that maybe the driver has had numerous previous incidents with 'bad' dogs and was being preemptive. But still, seems like he was the instigator.

I can’t stand people who have their dogs outside unleashed. If you’re gonna do that then you’re responsible for the results of that decision. The Amazon driver should have just left the package at the sidewalk. Maybe move your mailbox street side. Idk…

The Amazon driver was an absolute douchebag! The dog did nothing wrong!

I didn't hear it. but if the dog did in fact growl at him, he had every right to give it a squirt. No legal requirement to get bit first. Sister slammer should keep his mutt on a leash if he wants porch delivery. Hopefully the driver prosecuted & sued him. If the dog didn't growl at him he deserved what he got.

That dog was so calm- no need to do that to it. I hate people like this.

Do this to my dog while he is only being friendly, and you will win the prize of having every last tooth beaten out of your lying mouth. Have a nice day.

Uncalled for but the dog should have been restrained.

Driver would’ve been sleeping on pavement

Not having a dog leashed is so annoying

@OFH321 He needs arresting and to lose his job. The dog was not being aggressive.

That poor pupster. I’ve seen many Amazon drivers that carry doggy treats with them for dogs just like this.

Yeah I'm gonna have to vote for the homeowner here

i would have had me a new Amazon truck and another hole to dig

He better have lost his job. Enter our property and assault any of my family or guests he would not have had the same ending.

Lucky it wasn't my dog.
