You'll probably need a cart of some kind to carry them.
The newspaper won't back you up if a customer has a complaint, and you are not covered by Workers Comp. We had one house that had two dogs and they would try jumping through the screen door at my daughters so they started leaving the paper at the gate. The owners complained to the paper and they gave us notice that it had to be dropped by the front door. I asked what would happen if someone got bit and they told me that it would be up to my daughters to sue the dog owners. The paper was then thrown over the fence towards the front door, wet or dry.

I did a paper route too and there are dogs in the yard I usually just leave it on the gate. No way I am risking my life. If they complain let them lol.
