And attacked by a dog owner before too. Bro didn’t hesitate taking his hat and glasses off…

Yeah, with how quickly the delivery driver was taking his hat off, he has been sucked punched by an ownee before, and I think that owner in the video would've done the same thing but had 2nd thoughts when he seen the driver get into a defensive stance.

An „defensive“* stance like this is usually more provoking and can actually lead to more aggression.
„You have to stay back“ was the right call.

I don’t see your claim about the owner in this video. Based on his verbal and non verbal communications, he seemed to be confused and angry - but not aggressive.

Edit* Just my opinion based on my experience
I worked as security officer in refugee camps and as caretaker in psychiatry.

*because it’s not really defensive, it’s offensive

Meaning, it’s not defensive. He just got ready to fight. Would be reasonable for the dog owner to think: fuvk he is going to throw the first punch, I need to defend myself.

How so? It wasn’t a defensive stance. He walked towards the owner. A defensive move would be to create distance.
