Ahhhhh Michael, had only the stars crossed our paths in another time or place.
Back to the really serious matter at hand. A lot of good discussion, suggestions and advice has been given and Bailey's Driver
is being very proactive in covering every contingency one can think of. When I first read the post, my heart sunk - another dog with a negative label due to human error.
I don't understand the need for her to have stuck her fingers through the slot either, not so sure about trespass (that would need to be defined under local laws I suspect), but she did invade Bailey's territory. While Bailey was only doing his the "mail's here, the mail's here!" thing (much like our first Cardigan girl's reaction to playing ball - in her frenzy to fetch she would often connect with flesh and so this activity was limited only to family members - just in case); I don't find it very responsible or conscientious of the carrier to be sticking her fingers inside mail slots for the simple fact, she has NO idea what might be on the other side. An aggressive toy breed dog could have easily chewed up her finger(s), a cat might have taken a swipe at it/them with a claw or bitten her, ferret maybe even given her a nip. Not real safe behavior or actions on her part.

If any of the matters that Taylor was accused of went any further than they did (they virtually went no where at all) - I would have gathered in many references on his behalf from hundreds of people and a large number of organisations/entities.

Given Bailey's celebrity status from his bike rides, I think this would be a good idea to utilize for him as well in addition to the other things you are doing.
And while everyone is checking their homeowner's insurance, this is also a good time to remind everyone to keep an eye on local dog ordinances and legislation being propossed in your area. Under new legislation passed and just waiting for the mayor's signature in Louisville, KY; all it takes is an individual to feel uneasy around a dog and it can get labeled as dangerous and be seized by animal control.
We're pulling for you!
