With the ever-increasing popularity of online delivery platforms like Uber Eats, customers can effortlessly order food through their smartphones. Regrettably, delivering the food is not always as easy as ordering it. Uber Eats drivers often face numerous risks when picking up and dropping off food. One of the biggest risks for Uber Eats delivery people is aggressive dogs. For example, a man who delivered food to support his family, sustained multiple deep puncture wounds on his right arm and left hand while dropping off a McDonald’s order. After the dog burst through a gate and latched on to him, it took two men to pry the dog off of him. Understandably, to this day, he still gets terrified and goes into shock when he thinks about his dog attack.

Unfortunately, this dog attack is anything but an isolated incident. Oftentimes, canines attack Uber Eats drivers without so much as a growl or bark. Dog owners have a legal obligation to ensure that their animals are always kept under control and do not cause harm to others. Far too many owners do not believe that their canines are dangerous and do little to prevent dog bite accidents. No wonder why roughly 4.5 million victims suffer dog bites throughout the United States each year. Were you seriously wounded by a hostile dog while working for Uber Eats in Rochester, New York?

As much as dog owners love their four-legged companions, they must acknowledge the dangers that come with raising a pup. Pound per square inch (PSI) is a unit used to explain the force that a canine is capable of inflicting through its bite. It is a scientific method that calculates the pressure placed on a given point. According to Pet Comments, the top 12 canines with the fiercest bites in terms of PSI are:

1. Kangal, with the strongest bite power of 743 PSI;
2. American Bandogge, which has a bite force of 731 PSI;
3. Cane Corso has a brutal bite strength of 700 PSI;
4. Dogue De Bordeaux, with its monstrous skull, carries 556 PSI of biting pressure;
5. Tosa Inu, originally crossbred to create fierce gladiator dogs, has a bite force of 556 PSI;
6. English Mastiff, this breed can easily break bones with a bite power of 556 PSI;
7. Dogo Canario can gripe a victim’s arms or legs at 540 PSI;
8. Dogo Argentino, feared by many, this dog can slam its strong jaw shut with 500 PSI;
9. Wolfdog, this hybrid breed is slightly more dangerous than the average dog and can lock its 406 PSI;
10. Akita Inu are capable of closing their scissor-like jaws at up to 400 PSI;
11. Leonberger, when this gentle beast is provoked, it can chomp at 399 PSI; and
12. Rottweiler, at 328 PSI, this dog’s bite force is more than double its weight.
