An Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera threatening to shoot and kill a customer and his dog.
The unidentified driver was seen in doorbell security camera footage posted to TikTok over the weekend approaching a home in Kansas City carrying boxes over his shoulder when the homeowner comes out to greet him.
But when a dog starts barking in the background, the driver can be seen shaking his head as he sternly warned the homeowner not to let the dog out.
The owner of the house, TikTok user Royal_Robs, tried to explain that the dog was safe inside the house with his girlfriend, but the delivery man disagreed and threatened the dog.
“I’ll kill him,” the driver tells the owner.

At that moment, the owner of the house decided to defend his furry companion, responding: ‘I’ll kill you before you kill my dog.’
