Ahead of National Dog Bite Awareness Week, the US Postal Service reminds pet owners that for mail carriers, a dog’s bite is worse than its bark.
California and Texas ranked highest on the United States Postal Service’s annual list of states with the most dog bites against its employees, the USPS announced. The report calls attention to the aggressive dog behavior mail carriers often face as the USPS kicks off National Dog Bite Awareness Week. In 2022, California had the highest number of dog bites with 675. Texas and New York were not far behind with 404 and 321 bites, respectively, the Postal Service reported.
The annual public service awareness campaign, accompanied by the hashtag #dogbiteawareness, runs through next week. “When letter carriers deliver mail in our communities, dogs that are not secured or leashed can become a nemesis and unpredictable and attack,” Leeann Theriault, USPS employee safety and health awareness manager, said in the release.
