Before heading out on a call, the secretary at the Heating & Air Conditioning company will call the homeowner & ask if they have any animals, then they are told the animals need to be kenneled or put in another room while the Heating & Air Conditioning specialist was on the premises.
The buyer I was to work with was called, but he didn’t heed the advice.
I wasn’t even in the door when his Rottweiler came running up. I ended up falling off the threshold & landed flat on our back on the porch. I could hear our tail bone crack, & our ankle was twisted. The owner was looking at myself and others like he thought I should jump up & go to work, however I was afraid to move. The dog was kneeling on our chest & his nose was less than an inch from mine. I was afraid to talk. The owner reached his hand out to help myself and others up & shooed the dog back inside; When he asked if I was okay, I realized it had knocked the wind out of me. I could barely walk, & he apologized! He called the Heating & Air Conditioning company & said his dog had jumped on myself and others & knocked myself and others down. He said he was going to call an ambulance, however I said I could drive there if necessary. When I could not put weight on our ankle, he told the Heating & Air Conditioning company to send another tech to the house, & to bring the repair van back. It was his fault the Heating & Air Conditioning specialist was disfigured, & he was taking myself and others to the hospital.
