Dog Attack: Amazon Issues ‘Dog Awareness’ Message After Its Driver Allegedly Killed by Dogs in Missouri
According to Engadget, following Tuesday’s incident, Vice News reported that some drivers received a “Dog Awareness” message. As part of the advisory, dogs are referred to as “our four-legged customers” and “Fido,” in an attempt to downplay the risks some dogs can pose to delivery workers.

“We want to help ensure you aren’t surprised by our four-legged customers when on route, so be sure to check the Amazon Delivery App for the paw print icon in the ‘Delivery Notes’ indicating you should be aware of a dog at this stop,'” Amazon advisory reportedly stated.
“If we know ‘Fido’ is nearby, we’ll add the paw print to give you a heads up. As always, contact the customer to help you with the pet, or ‘Driver Support’ in the delivery App if you can’t reach the customer,” it added.
Meanwhile, some workers accused the company of sending an ill-timed, tone-deaf message in light of the incident. US Horror: Iowa Woman Claims Her Father Murdered 70 Women Including Many Sex Workers Over 30 Years, Cadaver Dogs Find Spot Where Bodies Are Buried.
In response to Engadget’s request for clarification, Amazon did not immediately respond to whether the advisory was sent in response to the attack or drafted afterwards, according to a report.
The company told Vice News on Tuesday that it is working with police to investigate the death, the report added.
