Greg was right! I should have been selling FE by phone and this wouldn't have happened.
Showed up at a FE appt. The house is WAY up off the road. I pull up there and see the guy in his backyard in his storage barn. He has a BIG black Lab that looked to be about 150 lbs.
He doesn't see me but the dog is staring right at me wagging his tail. I'm a dog guy and never met too many unfriendly labs so I get out of my car but stand right next to it to see what the dog is going to do.
He runs full speed at me but I still think I'm OK because he was wagging his tail a minute ago. He stops next to me sniffing me over and not growling so I figure I'm good to go. I take one step and CHOMP!
The dog chomped my hand HARD and runs back toward his owner. NOW the owner sees me. I holler over to him "Is the dog OK?" Like I didn't already know the answer to that one.
He says "no you can't trust him. Let me get him put up."
Nice couple but I didn't sell them a policy yet. Likely will next week but I MAY have to pull out my DOG BITE CLOSE on this one.
