USPS workers face high risk of dog attacks in several US states.
TL;DR
Over 5,300 postal workers in the US were attacked by dogs in 2022, with California topping the list of states with the most dog bites. The USPS is advising dog owners to keep their pets indoors, behind a fence, or on a leash when letter carriers arrive at their homes. Many of these attacks came from dogs whose owners had regularly stated, “my dog won’t bite.” The USPS is urging responsible pet ownership to help reduce the number of dog attacks on postal workers.
