Re: post below: how did I manage to forget about the legendary dogs-and-cats like antagonism between canines and mailmen? That puts a whole new spin on things!
I know that in real life, dogs can be the bane of mailmen's existence, but I wonder if that legendary antagonism has a specific cultural origin? Mr. Giles LOVES any mail carrier, and it's surprising to us that he actually seems to recognize the vehicles as well as the uniform (i.e., he doesn't just respond excitedly to our usual mailman who does, after all, give him treats).
