National Dog Bite Prevention Week April 14-20, 2019 A Letter to the Editor from Randal Murrell, Postmaster, Columbia KY, and Joey Topping, City Letter Carrier/NALC Union Steward, Columbia KY Did anyone bite you at work today? On average, nearly 15 mail carriers per day will say, "Yes." Postal Service officials report that in 2018, 5,714 letter carriers experienced dog bites or dog attacks. With deliveries every day, including Sundays and holidays, carriers continue to experience dog bites in urban, suburban and rural settings. Dog attacks and bites are 100 percent preventable when dog owners remain vigilant and properly restrain their dogs. To ensure mail carriers' safety, dog owners must securely lock their dog in another room until a delivery exchange is done. If outside, dogs must be leashed at a distance from the mailbox. When a carrier feels unsafe, mail service could be interrupted, not only for the dog owner, but for the entire neighborhood. When mail service is interrupted, mail must be picked up at the Post Office. Service will not be restored until the dog is properly restrained. With your help, we can keep our carriers, your neighbors and your dog safe. Thank you for protecting your pet and our mail carriers as we continue to bring packages and correspondence to your door each day. Sincerely, Randal Murrell Joey Topping This story was posted on 2019-04-16 07:40:37
